The island was finally safe. Ali and his companions had slain the last of the ghouls that had plagued the land. Now, with the battle over, they summoned peacekeeping forces, police, some volunteer teams to sweep the island, clearing the remnants of the chaos and preparing for the return of the displaced residents.

As the group boarded the boat to leave, Malek as the stern but dedicated teacher he is grew restless. He checked his watch and cursed under his breath.

"We need to move faster," he snapped, pacing the deck. "The exam is tomorrow, and if we’re late, I swear I’ll jump into the sea and swim the rest of the way!"

Marwan rolled his eyes and nudged Ali. "Look at him, he's gone mad! While we were busy fighting ghouls, he was scribbling exam questions for his students!"

The others chuckled, shaking their heads as the boat sailed on. Malek ignored them, muttering equations under his breath while gripping the railing.

As the shoreline of their city came into view, Malek’s patie

    After a long day of work in the office, Ali found himself near the HQ so he decided to stop by and update Hadi on his progress with the mission he assigned him."So," Hadi began, his voice low but steady, "what happened with you and Fadi?" Ali exhaled sharply, running a hand through his hair. "I talked to him. He's... not coming back. At least not now." He clenched his fists. "I told him we needed him, that the Knights can't afford to lose anyone else - but he's done. Said he can't keep fighting." Hadi listened in silence before shaking his head. "Then let him go, Ali. You can't force a man to carry a burden he can't bear." "But he can bear it!" Ali insisted, frustration edging his voice. "Fadi's stronger than this. He just needs time. I'll talk to him again," "And what if he still refuses?" Hadi cut in, his tone firm but not unkind. "What we do , it's not just about the strength of the body. It's about the fire inside." He tapped his chest. "Every day, I ask myself why I keep

    Ali walked through the quiet halls of the university where he used to study, his footsteps echoing as he searched for one of his professors. When he finally found Dr. Khamis in his office, he knocked lightly on the open door. "Come in," Dr. Khamis said, looking up from his papers. Dr. Khamis welcomed Ali and invited him in. Ali stepped inside. He went and told him what he needed "Doctor, do you know anyone working in the Barrier Technology Center? I’d like to contact them because I want to work with them and learn from their expertise." Dr. Khamis leaned back in his chair, considering the question. "Actually, I have a relative, his name is Professor Hasan Jumaa. He works there." He scribbled a number on a piece of paper and handed it to Ali. "Here’s his contact. Tell him I referred you." Ali took the paper gratefully. "Thank you, Doctor." Dr. Khamis hesitated before speaking again. "By the way, I heard about Fadi and Karim. That they were attacked by a powerful ghoul. I wan

    The massive Dusk Wolf Ghoul snarled, its golden eyes examining both Hamza and Nawras as it circled them. The open field at the city's edge gave them space but no cover.Nawras kept his voice low, eyes locked on the beast. "We can't take it head-on. The best strategy is to fight from a distance, we need to use a machine gun or spear. You distract it. I'll look for an opening to hit its weak spot."Hamza wiped sweat from his brow, breathing heavily from their earlier sprint. "And if I get tired before you get your shot? Or worse, if this thing rips me apart first?"Nawras didn't look away from the ghoul. "I believe in you. And you need to believe in me too."Before Hamza could reply, the wolf attacked."Watch out!" Nawras shouted.They split apart as the beast's claws tore through the space between them. Hamza scrambled up the nearest tree, boots scraping bark as he climbed. The wolf snarled, turning upward."Hey, fleabag!" Hamza yelled, firing at the ghoul. The bullets pinged off the

    The afternoon sun cast long shadows as Nawras stepped out of his house, his muscles aching from another grueling training session. Before he could take a second breath, his phone buzzed. It was Hamza. "How are you?" Hamza’s voice crackled through the speaker. Nawras rolled his shoulders, wincing. "Exhausted. And you?" "Mission time. Surveillance on Hazim’s crew. Get your gear we’re moving in ten." Nawras frowned. "Since when do we get field assignments? Hazim didn’t want us anywhere near ops after the hospital incident." Hamza chuckled. "Yeah, well, we’re not ‘injured trainees’ anymore. The only way to get better is to dive in. Unless you’re scared?" Nawras exhaled sharply. "I’m not scared. But we don’t even have armor." "Already handled. I’ll talk to Hadi. If he says no, Marwan will convince him." The smirk in Hamza’s voice was audible. Nawras hesitated, then nodded to himself. "Fine. I’m in." As Nawras slung his pack over his shoulder and headed for the door, his f

    Hadi, Hazim, and Haitham were working at the headquarters, sorting out their plans and what they needed to do.Hadi told Hazim that he had received a message from the association saying they had examined the fluid sample he had given them and discovered it was genetically modified Ghoul saliva. They had tried to interrogate Dr. Abo Jumana to understand what it was about, but he refused to talk.Hazim told him, "Easy, you and Haitham go and make him talk."Haitham got up and said, "Leave it to me, I'll make him sing." Then he left.Now, it was just Hazim and Hadi left. Hazim told Hadi that he had taken a break from his writing job to focus on the headquarters. Hadi said, "You don't have to put your life on hold, I can manage the remaining work."Hazim replied, "No, I made up my mind. I'll finish up the backlog before my break ends. I've decided to go look for Walid myself and put an end to his schemes and cowardice."Hadi asked, "You really think you'll find him?"Hazim smirked and sai

    Ali and Laith were heading down because it was Ali’s turn for surveillance, and Laith tagged along to keep him company. Ali asked Laith, “Don’t you have studying to do?” Laith replied, “Nah, it’s fine. I finished all my assignments. My brother is busy with Hadi and doesn’t have time for me. Yesterday, Hazim woke up early and went to the headquarters to finish paperwork, trying to take some load off Hadi and figure out what to do with the professor.” Ali then asked Laith, “What do you think they’ll do with the professor?” Laith said, “I heard my brother say they’ll probably hand him over to the court after getting the information they need. Most likely, he’ll be imprisoned for kidnapping and carrying out dangerous, suspicious activities, something like that.” Ali fell silent. Laith asked him, “What’s wrong? Why’d you go quiet? Isn’t this what you wanted?” Ali replied, “Of course, I believe he should be held accountable. What bothers me is that his justifications made sens
