Chapter 32: The Last Descent (Part II)
The bound figures stirred.Crimson eyes snapped open, and the chamber echoed with a low, rising chant—not from any mouth, but from the stone itself.Reith stepped back from the altar, still holding the Hollow Stone scroll tightly in his hand.“You came too late,” he whispered, a cruel smile curling on his lips.Lucas surged forward with determination, but suddenly the ground beneath him cracked open.Chains of black flame erupted violently from the floor, forming an unbreakable ring around the altar.And then, as if awakened by the dark magic, the army moved in unison.The first warrior lunged forward—a cursed hybrid clad in rusted armor, its limbs stiff from ages of slumber. A serrated blade flickered menacingly from its forearm, glowing with a sickly green light.Lucas raised Twin Fang just in time to block the vicious strike—the clang of metal ringing through the chamber like distant thunder.Dan fired his crossbow, aiming carefully and striking one warrior through the eye.But the
Chapter 31: The Last Descent
Lucas didn’t wait for the council to fully gather.He was already on the move, his armor strapped tightly, the Twin Fang blade secured across his back, and a fire burning fiercely in his veins.Reith had vanished, and with him, the scroll was gone. Now, every heartbeat in Frost Hollow trembled, sensing the growing unrest beneath their feet.The Ash Queen’s next assault wouldn’t come from the skies above. This time, it would rise from beneath the ground.Before the first light of dawn, the descent into the ancient catacombs beneath Thalindor had begun. Their entrance was hidden beneath the ruins of a long-forgotten cathedral, one that had been burned to ash during the initial purge of the Silent Moon witches.Lucas led the way down into the darkness.Following him closely were Lauren, Dan, Skylar, Dylan, and a squad of elite hybrid scouts.The moment they crossed the threshold of the sealed entrance, everything changed.The air turned cold—wetter, denser—as if the very earth around the
Chapter 30: Pack Fracture
The war council tent was a furnace of tension.Lucas stood at the center, the Hollow Stone scroll clutched tightly in his hand. The name scrawled across it—D. Blake—weighed heavier than any blade he had ever held.Around him, voices erupted.“Proof is proof!” a rogue wolf snarled, slamming his fist on the table with a loud thud. “His name’s right there on the scroll. What else do you need—blood on his claws?”A ripple of agreement followed, with some nodding grimly while others growled under their breath.Skylar stood near the entrance, her arms folded tightly across her chest, eyes fixed on Dylan like twin daggers ready to strike.Dylan remained silent, his expression unreadable and cold.Dan stepped in between them, raising a calming hand. “We don’t know who planted this,” he said firmly. “It could’ve been forged, or part of a deeper misdirection. We’ve seen tricks like this before.”“But what if it wasn’t a trick?” a hybrid barked from across the table. “We’re supposed to follow Lu
Chapter 29: Shadows in the Hollow
Dan adjusted the lantern in his grip, casting a trembling light across the jagged stone walls of the tunnel. Water dripped somewhere ahead, the rhythm echoing like a steady heartbeat. Behind him, Dylan moved with silent precision, every muscle coiled and every sense on high alert.Skylar led the way.They had descended into Frost Hollow just minutes after the prophecy was spoken.There had been no hesitation.If a traitor truly existed among them, this was where they would uncover the truth.Skylar suddenly held up a fist.The group froze instantly.She knelt near a patch of disturbed dirt on the ground. “Tracks,” she murmured. “They’re not ours.”Dylan crouched beside her, brushing dust from the surface. “These are about three days old,” he said. “Maybe a bit less. And whoever made them wasn’t walking—they were running.”Dan squinted into the darkness stretching ahead of them. “Where do these tunnels even lead?”“They go deep,” Dylan replied quietly. “Some connect to old blood vaults
Chapter 28: The Trial of the Moon Marked
“You’re sure this is the only way?” Lucas asked, his voice low and uncertain, barely audible beneath the hum of ancient magic.He stood beneath the jagged arches of Frost Hollow’s inner sanctum, where the moonlight filtered through high crevices, casting long silver bars across the cold, uneven stone floor. The fire pits had been extinguished, leaving behind only the lingering scent of burnt sage and the soft, rhythmic murmurs of the witches preparing the ritual.Lauren stood at the center of a glowing circle, her hands faintly illuminated by the power coursing through her. “It’s the only way to face what’s inside you without letting it consume everything you are.”Lucas exhaled slowly, his breath fogging in the cold air. “So... I let it speak to me?”“No,” she replied firmly, her eyes locking onto his with unwavering resolve. “You make it listen.”Around them, six witches of the Silent Moon moved gracefully into position, their movements fluid and silent beneath their dark hoods. The
Chapter 27: Ashes and Whispers
Lucas awoke to silence.It was not the kind of silence that brings peace.It was the kind that lingers only after too much screaming has stopped.His entire body ached, his head throbbed with dull pain, and every breath scraped against what felt like broken ribs. He blinked slowly, light slicing through the haze clouding his vision. The flaps of the war tent rustled gently in the cold breeze.With effort, he sat up.Pain exploded across his side, where layers of tight bandages were wrapped around him.Skylar’s voice broke the stillness. “You’re awake.”She sat close by, her armor scratched from battle, and fatigue deeply etched into the lines beneath her eyes.Lucas coughed, his throat dry. “How long have I been out?”“Two days,” she answered quietly. “You’ve been slipping in and out of consciousness.”Lucas’s eyes moved slowly around the tent. “What about the Queen?”“She’s gone,” Skylar replied. “Her army pulled back after you collapsed. But they left us broken in the aftermath.”Lu
