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.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8nhCNidwG
Lu Feng held his breath, straining to parse every sound. His pulse merged with the wind into a dissonant symphony.

Then—figures emerged.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRzyntRfYp
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.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNHnjfxFFA
“Who are you?” Lu Feng demanded, voice low but firm.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUgACuqA2m
“Tak. A wanderer,” the man replied, steady as bedrock. He nodded to the youth. “Raphael. A strategist.”
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzRL868IYy
Lu Feng’s wariness lingered—too many had betrayed him under sweet words. Yet these two bore no hostility, only exhaustion… and hunger.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGZ9ojLvOv
“A… guide sent us,” Raphael said carefully. “We seek to join you. To fight the darkness.”
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ndb1gMOKX
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.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflophYcMFM
“How’d you find me?”
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22CLMfYagv
Tak’s jaw tightened. “The Blood Fiend Sect destroyed my home. I ran… met Raphael, who’d lost just as much.”
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HXUpEd1fk
Raphael nodded. “The guide… they knew *you* could end this.”
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjq6nrQP6Me
Lu Feng’s chest burned—rage, grief, resolve colliding. He exhaled slowly, then extended a hand.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryHQliqrIF
“Welcome to Dusk Fortress.”
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHzP425LYs
Their grips sealed the pact.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4iDLEI4Mx
“A spar,” Lu Feng提议, eyes glinting. “To see what you’re made of.”
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4esMfmOUus
Tak grinned, fire igniting in his stare. “Try to keep up.”
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5kGlHqqsR
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.

Silence fell.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfVBeKwV1a
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*.
