Chapter 8: The Festival and the Shadow’s Arrival
That night, the village held a festival.
Fairies danced in the sky, weaving ribbons of light. Flowers bloomed in bursts of color, responding to the magic in the air. Soft music played from crystal instruments, filling the forest with laughter and warmth.
For the first time, Lyra felt like she could breathe.
She had learned, laughed, and—even if only for a moment—felt like she belonged.
Then the shadows came.
A cold wind swept through the village. The lanterns flickered.
A hush fell over the crowd.
Then—
From the treeline, a figure stepped forward.
It was tall, draped in tattered shadows, its face hidden beneath a dark hood. But its presence was undeniable—ancient and hungry.
Eryndor’s fur bristled. “A Nightwraith.”
Lyra’s heart pounded. It had found her.
The festival was over.
Now, she had to fight.
What do you think?
