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.

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

Then—figures emerged.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsx9narYhLT
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.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62K1i7pAYr
“Tak. A wanderer,” the man replied, steady as bedrock. He nodded to the youth. “Raphael. A strategist.”
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3OjsvEShu
Lu Feng’s wariness lingered—too many had betrayed him under sweet words. Yet these two bore no hostility, only exhaustion… and hunger.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBXoWamOrJ
“A… guide sent us,” Raphael said carefully. “We seek to join you. To fight the darkness.”
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaeuDc2ugB
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.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVTSo02NDM
“How’d you find me?”
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeUYneXNfc
Tak’s jaw tightened. “The Blood Fiend Sect destroyed my home. I ran… met Raphael, who’d lost just as much.”
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiscBQxmfYB
Raphael nodded. “The guide… they knew *you* could end this.”
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtnzKpiheH
Lu Feng’s chest burned—rage, grief, resolve colliding. He exhaled slowly, then extended a hand.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBAUKKFVG9
“Welcome to Dusk Fortress.”
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cEbsEMMBQ
Their grips sealed the pact.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGN9JWrrvu
“A spar,” Lu Feng提议, eyes glinting. “To see what you’re made of.”
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvs2c9KiD3
Tak grinned, fire igniting in his stare. “Try to keep up.”
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PJeod2dzE
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.
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgHt7phvC8
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*.
