Lu Feng’s heart pounded like a drum, his palms slick with sweat.
The faint footsteps echoed through the night—light as a cat’s tread, yet heavy with danger. His eyes darted across the shadowy thickets and trembling treetops, every rustle now suspicious.

“Stay still. Something’s off,” Lu Feng whispered urgently to Ai Liya, who trembled in his arms. She closed her eyes, channeling what little divine energy remained, ready to fight.

The warriors around them tensed, weapons drawn. The air thickened with anticipation.

Tak, his sword gripped like an extension of his arm, scanned the darkness with hawk-like intensity. Raphael, already mapping escape routes in his mind, muttered strategies under his breath.

*Rustle… rustle…*
The noise drew closer, as though unseen eyes lurked in the void.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKHGn1nTgE
Lu Feng held his breath, straining to parse every sound. His pulse merged with the wind into a dissonant symphony.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0diNRV842
Then—figures emerged.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVjGOn8UHs
A towering man led the group, his tattered battle robes failing to hide muscles forged in war. His gaze, unyielding as stone, locked onto Lu Feng. Behind him stood a slender youth, a staff glinting in his hand, magic simmering at its tip.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVKjJqQDlC
“Who are you?” Lu Feng demanded, voice low but firm.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7gBNHzhVA
“Tak. A wanderer,” the man replied, steady as bedrock. He nodded to the youth. “Raphael. A strategist.”
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZUXpwnWnI
Lu Feng’s wariness lingered—too many had betrayed him under sweet words. Yet these two bore no hostility, only exhaustion… and hunger.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dXS8e6Mph
“A… guide sent us,” Raphael said carefully. “We seek to join you. To fight the darkness.”
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewQtZRmOdV
Lu Feng’s resolve flickered. The @moss simulator had aided him thus far, but the enemies grew stronger. Allies like these—seasoned, sharp—might tip the scales.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEG9ys0cQ69
“How’d you find me?”
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbqROFj1cL
Tak’s jaw tightened. “The Blood Fiend Sect destroyed my home. I ran… met Raphael, who’d lost just as much.”
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwl9s7VHtp
Raphael nodded. “The guide… they knew *you* could end this.”
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65WbE75eEj
Lu Feng’s chest burned—rage, grief, resolve colliding. He exhaled slowly, then extended a hand.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2fiAgYQBr
“Welcome to Dusk Fortress.”
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVUCLvDz14
Their grips sealed the pact.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzp6ShtYCqc
“A spar,” Lu Feng提议, eyes glinting. “To see what you’re made of.”
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSF5uNYnct
Tak grinned, fire igniting in his stare. “Try to keep up.”
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuYymJcGtv
Raphael twirled his staff. “You’ll need more than brute strength.”

The clash erupted. Tak’s sword thundered, each strike earthquaking the field. Raphael wove spells like a composer, redirecting blows with calculated precision. Lu Feng commanded with tactical brilliance, while Ai Liya’s moonlight magic danced between shadows.

By dusk, their movements harmonized—trust forged in sweat and steel.

Around the campfire, laughter briefly drowned the night. But as embers dimmed, the Shadowmoon Cat at Lu Feng’s feet suddenly bristled, fur standing on end. A guttural growl ripped from its throat, green eyes blazing toward the woods.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBienIPSd22
Silence fell.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGr2gnA5MK
Lu Feng rose slowly, fingers curling around his sword. “Seems dinner’s delivered itself,” he murmured, a feral grin spreading.

The darkness beyond the firelight *shifted*.
