As the man with the sharp silver eyes looked around the group, tension was in the air. His presence radiated authority, his every movement exuding calm menace. His eyes lingered on Lena, and she felt a chill run down her spine.“Who are you?” Lena demanded, her voice steady despite the knot tightening in her chest.The man tilted his head, a wry smile playing on his lips. “Names are for introductions, and I’m not here to be your friend.”Kaden stepped forward, positioning himself protectively in front of Lena. “You don’t belong here. State your purpose or leave.”The man chuckled, a low, mocking sound. “Bold. I like that. ButI’m not leaving. You've interfered with powers beyond your comprehension, and now there is a cost to bear."“What price?” Zara interjected, her hand already on the hilt of her blade.The man’s gaze flicked to her, amused. “Balance, of course.

Where is everyone?”The figure tilted their head, as if amused by her question. “This is not a place, Lena. It is a crossroads.
