Chapter 81: The Whispering Land
The journey back to Black Hollow was not a triumphant one.The villagers trudged through the gates, their faces streaked with soot and exhaustion, their eyes hollow with the weight of what they had witnessed.The warding stone in the square pulsed with a faint, unsteady light, its golden glow flickering like a dying ember. The air smelled of burnt herbs and damp earth, but beneath it, something older lingered, a scent like metal left too long in the rain.Dain walked at the front, his steps slow, his hand clutching the Blade of Severing. The scar where the King’s name had once burned was gone, but the skin beneath it ached, a phantom pain that echoed the void’s hunger. His eyes were dull, the fire that had burned in them after the valley now extinguished. He felt hollow, like a vessel drained of its purpose, yet filled with something new, something unnameable.Serra stepped beside him, her sword sheathed, her expression grave. "We did it," she said, her voice low. "We sealed it."Dain

"This place feels like a tomb," she muttered, her eyes scanning the shadows that twisted along the edges of the path.Dain didn’t answer. He felt it too, the forest watching them, judging them, waiting for them to stumble.The villagers followed in a tight group, their weapons drawn, their faces set with determination. Garrick clutched his hammer

The air was thick with the scent of ozone and burnt iron, and the villagers gathered around him, their weapons raised, their faces set with grim resolve.Serra stood at his side, her sword ignited, its blue flame flickering defiantly in the gloom. "This feels like the end of everything," she muttered, her eyes scanning the shadows that twisted and writhed along the edges of the clearing.Dain didn’t answer.
