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.
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdblkIhWays
Lu Feng held his breath, straining to parse every sound. His pulse merged with the wind into a dissonant symphony.
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjJfcg3QxM
Then—figures emerged.
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHOJljLw6Q
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.
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhdNp2lzBt
“Who are you?” Lu Feng demanded, voice low but firm.
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYYe1TRJ8j
“Tak. A wanderer,” the man replied, steady as bedrock. He nodded to the youth. “Raphael. A strategist.”
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BZgyg5EdQ
Lu Feng’s wariness lingered—too many had betrayed him under sweet words. Yet these two bore no hostility, only exhaustion… and hunger.
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5smgOheeW
“A… guide sent us,” Raphael said carefully. “We seek to join you. To fight the darkness.”
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLmZTcckQj
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.
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0X8gwZfGl
“How’d you find me?”
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuHVHIamKO
Tak’s jaw tightened. “The Blood Fiend Sect destroyed my home. I ran… met Raphael, who’d lost just as much.”
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqAUQ1NbfK
Raphael nodded. “The guide… they knew *you* could end this.”
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcWBDRt1AH
Lu Feng’s chest burned—rage, grief, resolve colliding. He exhaled slowly, then extended a hand.
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtnHc2rWYx
“Welcome to Dusk Fortress.”
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQI46NWpcvM
Their grips sealed the pact.
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Z4Mc42APM
“A spar,” Lu Feng提议, eyes glinting. “To see what you’re made of.”
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3rKP49S8t
Tak grinned, fire igniting in his stare. “Try to keep up.”
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWxUvIVAeN
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.
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ32KKKqi1q
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.
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVWMdOPb1o
Silence fell.
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosi2csSJdu
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*.
