The Blood Moon had not appeared for five hundred years.Old legends claimed that when the moon turned crimson, the prison beneath Hollow Valley would awaken, and the three monsters who once ruled the supernatural world would return. Children laughed at the story. Warriors dismissed it as a myth. Kings believed the witches had destroyed those monsters forever.They were wrong.A deep crack echoed beneath Hollow Valley.Ancient chains wrapped around three stone thrones began glowing with black light. Golden runes carved by the three legendary witches flickered one after another, losing the power they had held for centuries.The first chain shattered.A pair of glowing blue eyes opened in the darkness.Max Draven slowly lifted his head.His black hair fell across his face as he took his first breath in five hundred years. The air smelled different. The world smelled different."We're free," he whispered.Another chain broke.A second man stood from his throne. Silver hair, cold blue eyes

The roar echoed for miles.The crimson Blood Moon trembled as dark clouds swallowed the stars. The entire village stood frozen after hearing Lucian's voice. Even the wind had stopped blowing.Max Draven did not move.His blue eyes remained fixed on the mountains beyond Hollow Valley."He's awake," he said quietly.Alex stepped beside him, gripping his silver sword."That wasn't his full power."Dave forced a smile, but it quickly disappeared."I haven't felt that pressure since the war."The three brothers exchanged a silent look. They all understood the same terrifying truth.Lucian had returned.Blackwood Village was filled with fear.Burned houses still smoked while healers treated the wounded. Ronan ordered every gate to be sealed."No one leaves the village."Selene looked toward Max and his brothers."And why should we trust them?"Max answered without emotion."I didn't ask for your trust.""I came because Lucian is hunting this village."James stepped forward."He's hunting El

The first battle of Hollow Valley began with a scream.The Shadow Army charged from every direction, covering the valley like a black ocean. Their crimson eyes burned beneath the Blood Moon as thousands of weapons reflected the red light.Max Draven did not move.He stood in front of everyone, blue energy surrounding his body.Behind him stood Alex and Dave.For the first time in five hundred years, the three brothers were fighting side by side.Kieran pointed his black sword at Max."Kill everyone... except the Fourth Blood."The Shadow Army attacked.A deafening roar echoed through Hollow Valley."Werewolves!" Alpha Ronan shouted.The werewolf warriors transformed instantly and rushed into battle."Vampires!" Selene commanded.Vampire soldiers leaped from the cliffs with incredible speed.The witches raised golden barriers around the wounded while Mira began chanting an ancient spell.The valley exploded into chaos.---Max disappeared in a flash of blue light.His fist crashed into

The Ancient Gate continued to rise.A deafening rumble shook Hollow Valley as the enormous black gate emerged from beneath the mountains. It was taller than the highest cliff, covered with ancient silver runes that glowed beneath the Blood Moon.Everyone stopped fighting.Even the Shadow Soldiers looked toward the gate.Cold wind poured from the darkness behind it, carrying whispers that sounded like thousands of lost souls.Mira's face turned white."It has never opened this far before."Max stared at the gate without blinking."Lucian is breaking the seal."Alex tightened his grip on his sword."If the gate opens completely...""The ancient world will return," Mira finished.Dave cracked his neck."Then we'll close it before that happens."Kieran laughed."You still believe you can stop destiny."---The Shadow General lifted both hands.Dark portals opened across Hollow Valley.Hundreds of new Shadow Soldiers climbed out of the ground, surrounding the Blood Altar.Ronan raised his

The Second Blood Moon rose completely.Crimson light swallowed Hollow Valley, turning the sky blood-red. The ground trembled as dark energy spread through every corner of the valley. Warriors who had survived the first battle suddenly struggled to breathe.Mira looked up in horror."The Second Blood Moon has awakened."Ronan tightened his grip on his sword."What does that mean?""It doubles Lucian's power."Silence fell.Lucian stood beneath the twin Blood Moons with a satisfied smile."Five hundred years...""I've waited five hundred years for this night."Darkness exploded around him.Every Shadow Soldier became stronger, their bodies growing larger as crimson symbols appeared across their armor.Kieran rose to his feet."My King... your army is ready."Lucian pointed toward the alliance."Destroy Hollow Valley."The Shadow Army charged.The greatest battle the supernatural world had ever seen began.---"Werewolves! Hold the north!" Ronan roared.His warriors transformed and rushe
