They both stood in the dark cave that was illuminated only by a red light emanating from a glowing stone. The red light emanating from the stone was a dim glow, casting a warm hue in the cave. It seemed to pulse and flicker, as if alive, casting deep shadows across the rough, jagged walls. The light was intense enough to illuminate the immediate area around the stone, but the rest of the cave was plunged into a pitch-black darkness. The red glow had an eerie quality to it, almost otherworldly, casting the cave in an ominous and foreboding atmosphere. It seemed to give off a sense of energy that could be felt, as if it had some kind of supernatural power. The light shimmered and danced, casting shadows across Ragnar's face as he stood transfixed by its glow. It was an eerie and unsettling light, yet it was impossible to look away from it.The woman in her sixties was pounding something in a small mortar and whispering spells under her breath. Ragnar stood a few paces away, watching h

"Kill that girl tonight."As Ragnar's words echoed through the room, Derek's heart felt as though it had stopped beating. His world felt as though it was crumbling around him, and his knees almost gave way beneath him. He had known that his father's rage would be great, but he had never imagined that he would order the death of Aurora. Derek's mind raced, trying to think of a way out of the situation, but he could see no escape. He felt as though a ton of bricks had been thrown onto his chest, weighing him down and suffocating him. His hands trembled as he tried to form words to plead with his father, but his tongue seemed to be tied.The despair and guilt that he felt were almost unbearable, and he couldn't bear the thought of losing Aurora, the one thing that gave him hope in a world of darkness."But, father, we need her to get the antidote," Derek said.Ragnar replied coldly, "I decide whom I need and who I don't. Get rid of her by tonight. This is the only way you can stop me fr

The diviner sat cross-legged on his mat in front of Magnus, his eyes closed in concentration. Magnus studied the man intently, his brow furrowed in confusion and concern."What do you mean my daughter might be in danger?" Magnus asked, breaking the silence in the tent.The diviner opened his eyes and looked up at Magnus. "There is a secret disease in the royal arena caused by the blue blade poison," he said. "I was called to find where the antidote was with my powers, and according to what I saw, the antidote seemed to be somewhere here in the Blood Moon pack."Magnus' eyes widened in disbelief. "What? You mean the blue blade disease actually exists?" he asked.The diviner nodded. "Yes, and it seems to be spreading rapidly. But what's more concerning is that I believe your daughter is in danger because of it. She may have been taken to the Blood Moon pack to be used as leverage to obtain the antidote."The dim light of the candle flickered and danced, casting eerie shadows on the fac

An awful smell hit them like a wave, as they approached the tunnel's entrance, causing them to recoil and cover their noses. It was a putrid odor, like rotting flesh mixed with something sour and pungent. The smell was so intense that it made their eyes water and their stomachs churn.Derek wrinkled his nose in disgust and muttered, "What is that smell?" Aurora replied, "It smells disgusting. I don't think I can handle it." Derek took a deep breath and said, "We don't have a choice. We have to go through it"When he lay down to crawl into the tunnel, he was hit again by the nauseating stench, and he gagged a little. He was struggling to keep his stomach under control as he slowly made his way through the tunnel. The smell only got worse as he crawled further. It was as if he was swimming in a pool of rotten eggs and decaying animals. The air was thick with the stench, and he could taste it on his tongue. tense Aurora followed Derek into the tunnel, feeling the wet, slimy groun

81She was feeling both nervous and excited as she made her way over to the large standing mirror in Fel's room. The prospect of selecting some of the princess's jewelry was a rare opportunity for the maid, but the task of getting the keys was daunting.The mirror was massive, almost as tall as the ceiling, and was ornately decorated with intricate carvings along its edges. Era peered behind it, but it was dark and she couldn't see anything. She paused for a moment, contemplating her next move.Suddenly, she remembered a small candle she had spotted on Fel's bedside table. She hurried over and lit the candle with a match, then returned to the mirror. Holding the candle in one hand, she reached her other hand behind the mirror, feeling around for the keys.Her fingers brushed against something cold and metallic. She grasped it and pulled, but it wouldn't budge. She tried again, this time putting more force into it, and she heard a faint clinking sound. She pulled once more and the keys
