The Fourfold Desires Chapter 88
Fiona’s POVWith the first clue sorted out, we had begun our journey. One of the most tedious things any if us had encountered in all our days. It was like we had entered a rollercoaster with no control, like we were stuck in a giant endless limbo of some sorts. We had followed the of the map which had directed us to a lone island right in the middle of nowhere. We had the lost difficult times struggling to maneuver our way through the unstable, wild terrain of the island. We spent days and nights scrimping on our food and water supplies and camping in the open air while searching for the ancient relic where we had encountered the most deadly of traps. Eventually our prayers were answered. The relic lay hidden in its heart, a monolithic ruin of weathered stone covered in twisting vines. Strange, ancient symbols—almost like hieroglyphs—snaked along the walls, their meaning just barely out of reach.But before we could even think of deciphering them, the traps came.The first was a

Fiona’s POVBlood. So much blood. My parents lay broken before me, their eyes wide with terror, their bodies lifeless. The smell of iron clogged my throat. It wasn’t real. It couldn’t be real. But it felt real.I gritted my teeth, pressing my palms against my temples. “It’s not real, it’s not real—”Lyn’s voice, shaky and strained, broke through the fog. “Fiona…?”I turned. Lyn was crumpled on the ground, his face twisted in agony.“Soren!” he choked out. “No—no, don’t—!” he wasn’t seeing me anymore. He was trapped in his own hell.Jin staggered against the wall, gripping his head. His breath came in short, frantic bursts. “It’s not—I didn’t mean to—I didn’t—” His eyes darted wildly, as if haunted by something only he could see.Kai’s fists were clenched so tightly his knuckles were white, his jaw locked in silent suffering.I forced my legs to move, stumbling toward Lyn. “Lyn, listen to me. It’s not real.” My voice shook, but I needed him to hear me. “None of this is real. It’s the

Fiona’s POVThe screams and sounds of battle echoed in a blood curdling symphony at the background, I studied the parchment I held , focusing on interpreting the constantly changing symbols. It was frustrating having to revert back deciphering the answers only for the patterns to change. “Come on. Think!” I muttered to myself, wiping the sweat from my brow, my fingers trembling as I traced the shifting symbols on the parchment scroll. The ink seemed to pulse and flicker, reforming into patterns I could barely comprehend before they twisted into something new. My head pounded, exhaustion clawing at me, but I couldn’t stop. Not when we were this close.“Come on, come on… Fuck!” The defense mechanism had been relentless. Every time I thought I had deciphered part of its logic, it changed again. My body ached from the strain of staring too long, my vision swimming, but I couldn’t afford to falter. Behind me, I could hear the ragged breathing of my companions, the scent of death thick

Fiona’s POVUnder the eerily soft glow light coming from the glass vial of the potion, my trembling fingers traced the intricate words of the ancient book before closing, sealing off centuries of secrets, prophecies and warning. The four alphas all had pensive frowns on their faces that individually mirrored my own internal turmoil. It was a diffi6feat to see them shaken, and I’ll admit, I had seen them at some point as nearly God-like. Seeing the despair they tried so hard to mask, stabbed fear into my heart. Lyn broke the silence first, pinning his gaze to the glowing vial with a hint of resentment in his eyes. “You’re telling me that some magic potion in a fancy bottle, in the middle of nowhere, holds the balance of this world. Who the bloody hell created this and why?”I instinctively cowered under the force of his annoyance. “It doesn’t say.”“Control your temper, Lyn.” Jin warned quietly. “None of this is anyone’s fault except the Valcrows. Get mad at them. Not Fiona.”“I’m no

Fiona’s POVThe five of us sprinted through the thickening dusk, our breaths ragged and urgent. The pounding footsteps behind us never faded, each one a cruel reminder that we were being hunted."God, they're like wild rats at the smell of fresh food." Lyn panted with ill-concealed disgust as we ran, looking back to see the large group of masked men. I didn’t dare look back—I could already hear their voices, sharp and relentless, cutting through the evening air." Christ, I'm exhausted." Soren muttered. He glanced at me. "Are we anywhere near this ancestral home you speak of?" "No.. We're close. I can feel it." I muttered, taking the next sharp turn my right, through the semi-dense woods. "This way." I yelled over my shoulder. We treaded quietly through the dense woods, crouching low in hiding as the heavy footfalls of Valcrows men sounded a little distance away. "Wait." I whispered fiercely. "Let's hide out here for a bit. Here's dense enough and the twilight shadows is on our sid

Fiona’s POVThe first clue had led us to the deep swamp behind the old site. It was said that a rare plant, Dark Light Algae, grew here—an essential material for activating the magic array. But as I stood at the swamp’s edge, inhaling the thick, musty air, I couldn’t help but wonder if the legends had conveniently left out the part where we’d have to risk our lives to retrieve it.A dense, eerie fog coiled around twisted trees, their gnarled roots jutting out of the soggy ground like skeletal fingers grasping at the air. Every few steps, the murky water gurgled as if something unseen was shifting beneath the surface. The air was thick, humid, and heavy with the scent of rot and stagnant water.“Ugh, this place reeks,” I muttered, wrinkling my nose as my boots sank into the soft, treacherous earth. Each step was a gamble—too much pressure, and the ground threatened to swallow me whole.“Watch your footing,” Kai warned, his voice strained with concentration as he tested the ground ahe

Fiona’s POVThe cavern shimmered with an eerie blue light, the jagged ice crystals reflecting a cold glow that pulsed like a living thing. But we weren’t alone.A sharp gust of wind howled through the chamber, carrying with it a flurry of frost. Then I saw them—ice elemental elves, their lithe bodies shimmering like frost-covered glass. Their piercing, glowing eyes locked onto us, and in an instant, they attacked.“Move!” I shouted, diving behind a frozen stalagmite as razor-sharp ice thorns shot toward us in a deadly barrage.The Alphas scattered, their movements swift and precise. Jin, ever the protector, positioned himself in front of me, sword raised. A shard of ice whizzed past my ear, slicing a few strands of my hair before embedding itself into the ground. I clenched my fists, summoning my energy, but the elves weren’t giving us a moment to breathe.“Go for the leader!” Lyn growled, rolling under a streak of frost magic that turned the stone floor to ice.The elves moved in un

Fiona’s POVMy heart hammered against my ribs, a frantic drumbeat against the encroaching darkness. No sooner had we begun unloading than I felt them – the pursuers. Their presence was a tangible thing, a cold dread that prickled my skin."The crystals go there," I pointed to a patch of worn earth, where the markings I had made were still visible under my flashlight. "Soren, connect that line to the north node.""Got it, Fiona," growled Soren, his massive form already hefting a heavy stone."Every one get into the circle and do not leave no matter what until I say so." I announced. I focused, pushing aside the fear that threatened to overwhelm me. The magic circle was intricate, a delicate web of power that needed precise placement and intention. My fingers flew across the surfaces of the stones, tracing the ancient symbols and items we had gathered then began chanting the forgotten words. The air shimmered, a faint blue glow beginning to emanate from the circle’s center."They're a

Fiona’s POVThe moment Lyn arrived, the air seemed to shift, turning sharp and heavy with his presence. His footsteps echoed against the tiled floor, each step firm and deliberate. My heart pounded in my chest as I looked up at him. His usually charming,, playful face was now a mask of cold fury. His pale complexion had drained further, but his eyes—those dark, piercing eyes—burned with something terrifying.He took in the mess around us—the broken chair, the scattered books, my tearful, broken expression and his face darkened further. His lips curled downward, and his voice, low and sharp like a blade slicing through ice, sent a shiver down my spine.“Who,” he bit out, his words slow and deliberate, “gave you the courage to cause trouble right under my nose?”The room fell into a suffocating silence. The group of girls, who just moments ago had been so full of confidence, now shrank back. Even their ringleader, the one who had mouthed off tome first, looked pale. But she still stra

Fiona’s POVThe news about the four Alphas fierce competition for me intensified, spreading like wild fire around the entire school. And with the popularity and rumors came new enemies I knew nothing about. I haven’t seen Helena much ever since I resumed school, and rumors of she and Jin’s untimely break up was gossiped about until went stale. I heard she transferred departments so that was why I rarely saw her. Unfortunately, her suddenly transferring majors left her old clique without a leader. Which was a relief considering the fact that I didn’t have to any other encounters with her. That didn’t mean the trouble stopped. I've been feeling uneasy all morning and had somehow gotten used to stares and whispers. But the moment I stepped into the corridor leading to the library, I felt it—the shift in the air, the weight of unwelcome stares pressing down on me. I wasn’t alone.I barely had time to register the approaching footsteps before a group of girls blocked my path. At the cen

Fiona’s POVJin’s confession filled my brain all day, distracting me through lectures, while having lunch with Rowan. I still hadn’t given him an answer. And then there was, Kai. His persistence was something to be admired, if not entirely irritating. I can’t mention how many instances I have gone out of my comfort zone to avoid him. “Fiona, he’s here again,” Rowan teased spearing a forkful of salad onto her mouth, wagging her brows impishly.“Don’t even start,” I muttered, rubbing my temples.“I’m being serious.” she said, watching something behind me with keen, perpetually mischievous eyes. “And he’s heading this way.”“Oh my fucking goodness.” I sighed, the throbbing in my eyes intensified. “I’m going to the bathroom.”Rowan looked thoughtful. “You could. Or you could sit there and listen to what he wants to say.” “I already what he wants to say.” I muttered. “He’s like a fucking bulldozer at this point.” Rowan chuckled. “I think you’re the only thing on his wants to bulldoze.”

Fiona’s POVI could feel the weight of the moment pressing down on me as my words hung in the air. The once lively crowd had gone eerily silent, the tension thick enough to cut with a knife.My gaze swept across everyone present, taking in the reactions of the Kai family elders. They exchanged glances, their expressions a mixture of surprise and confusion, as if they couldn’t quite believe what they had just heard.And then, there was Kai. The disappointment in his eyes deepened with every passing second, the flicker of hope he had clung to now dimming into something heavier—something dangerously close to resentment. I felt him grow cold beside me. His jaw tightened, his lips pressed into a thin line, but he said nothing. He didn’t have to. The disappointment radiated off him like a slow-burning fire, scorching in its quiet intensity.Eugene cleared his throat quietly, searching for what words to use. “A-are you certain we can’t change your mind?” he asked weakly.

Fiona’s POV“Hey, Rowan.”“Fiona? Where are you? I’ve been trying to contact you for three days now! How are you? Are you okay? Please tell me you are?” Rowan’s panicking voice blasted the confines of the car.I grinned at her terrified voice then affected a sober voice, “What if I tell you I’m not okay, and that I’m on my way to the ER to treat my broken bones.”“What!?” Rowan screeched. “Fuck, what hospital is it? Fiona speak the fuck up—” I cackled at her fear. “I’m fine, Rowan. Honest.”“I’m glad my concern is amusing to you.” Rowan hissed. I immediately sobered up. “You know I didn’t mean that. I was joking, darling. I promise I’ll tell you everything when I get back, okay?”“Fine. God knows you owe me one.” Rowan said smartly. “Are you on your way home?”.I glanced at the familiar surroundings zooming past mea before replying, “Uh, no. I’ve got drop by Jin’s house first but I’ll see you later.”“Okay. Are you sure you’re alright?” Rowan probed once more.“Yes, Rowan. I am.” I

Fiona’s POVPanic clawed at me. This was all too much pressure. I watched as Jin rose slowly to his feet, eyeing the writhing shadow monsters skeptically."Okay. Think. There must be something you've missed, Fiona. Think!" I muttered to myself, pressing my eyes closed in concentration. The ancient texts in that old grimoire, the whispered instructions and chants were failing us. My mind raced, a whirlwind of fragmented knowledge, desperate for a solution. Kai was down, Soren and Jin was hurt, and the shadow beasts were relentless. We were running out of time."Think, Fiona, think!" I screamed internally. I scanned my memory, flipping through the pages of countless arcane tomes. Then, a flicker. A forgotten passage. A detail I’d dismissed as insignificant. It was a footnote, almost an afterthought, about alternative activation methods. It was vague, cryptic, but… it resonated. A spark of hope ignited in the darkness of my despair.Immediately, I snapped urgent eyes to the central
