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.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMmiU0z2UW
Lu Feng held his breath, straining to parse every sound. His pulse merged with the wind into a dissonant symphony.

Then—figures emerged.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eOgn64oH4
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.

“Who are you?” Lu Feng demanded, voice low but firm.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamDVEqmcqv
“Tak. A wanderer,” the man replied, steady as bedrock. He nodded to the youth. “Raphael. A strategist.”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKc4CPB0DvF
Lu Feng’s wariness lingered—too many had betrayed him under sweet words. Yet these two bore no hostility, only exhaustion… and hunger.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCkjYzcqAK
“A… guide sent us,” Raphael said carefully. “We seek to join you. To fight the darkness.”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAwiND2Ykr
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.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdciVBWnHFa
“How’d you find me?”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMwPAxVmlV
Tak’s jaw tightened. “The Blood Fiend Sect destroyed my home. I ran… met Raphael, who’d lost just as much.”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkTXbnzgXU
Raphael nodded. “The guide… they knew *you* could end this.”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTotRiyLA3y
Lu Feng’s chest burned—rage, grief, resolve colliding. He exhaled slowly, then extended a hand.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvJCXxEzds
“Welcome to Dusk Fortress.”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5Y6QAVwVE
Their grips sealed the pact.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2yJcxr6dW
“A spar,” Lu Feng提议, eyes glinting. “To see what you’re made of.”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZ6D1yPbNg
Tak grinned, fire igniting in his stare. “Try to keep up.”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBt931wv3Gl
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.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS62wBWMg8x
Silence fell.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLx2eKcnho
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*.
