Vishkaniya stood still, lost in a storm of memories. Her lips trembled — not with fear, but something far older… grief.320Please respect copyright.PENANAfm9HxdvWvB
Then suddenly, a cold smile curved on her face.
“Oh,” she whispered, almost lovingly, “so… it seems there will be another death in Red Trap Valley.”
She turned slowly, eyes locking onto Elara.320Please respect copyright.PENANAfFPdE1syjE
“First, the girl who tried to escape fate… and now you.”
Elara took a shaky step back, her heart pounding. But she noticed something—Vishkaniya’s eyes weren’t just cruel.320Please respect copyright.PENANAKaZwKGEjKo
They were red with fury… and wet with unshed tears.320Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4uZRBCnMy
As if a secret she had buried deep was now rising — one she never wanted the world to know.
With a sudden clap of her hands, the ground trembled.320Please respect copyright.PENANAbbD6dQBYWU
Lightning cracked above the valley, and from behind the rocks, a monstrous beast emerged —320Please respect copyright.PENANA04eqZhgeNS
A terrifying creature with a falcon’s beak, dragon wings, and stone feet that shook the earth with every step.
Kael raised his sword.320Please respect copyright.PENANAtnYAPctrYb
“Stand behind me!” he shouted, stepping between Elara and the beast.
Vishkaniya laughed — a thunderous sound that made the clouds shake.
“If you escape this valley alive,” she shouted over the wind, “then maybe you deserve your crown! But it won’t happen. Not tonight!”
She raised her hand — dark energy swirling like a tornado — and hurled it straight at Elara.
“Elaraaaaaaaaaaaa!” Kael screamed, running toward her.
But just as the dark bolt reached her, a blinding spell of pure white light exploded mid-air.
The entire valley lit up.320Please respect copyright.PENANAEDbUlgDTX0
When the light faded — Elara stood untouched, confused but safe.
And someone else stood in front of her.
A girl in golden robes, her hair glowing like silver flame, stood tall and calm — her arm raised, the light fading from her fingertips.
Vishkaniya gasped.320Please respect copyright.PENANA2YrOLO936s
“…Zareen?”
The girl turned, eyes sharp and filled with fierce love.320Please respect copyright.PENANAD4ldRKXB0O
“Yes,” she said. “Zareen — daughter of light, protector of truth.”
Kael stepped forward in shock. “You… you’re thedaughter of vashknaya …”how you can help us....
Zareen looked at Kael, then at Elara.320Please respect copyright.PENANAMftvPyEU6a
“You must save her,” she said quickly. “If the full moon rises… and she is still here… you may never bring her back.320Please respect copyright.PENANAEx2RlWOa8F
Go now!”
Before Kael could move, Zareen spun and raised her arm again. Chains of golden light shot out and wrapped around Vishkaniya, dragging her back as she screamed.
“Zareen! What have you done?! You betrayed your own mother!”
Zareen’s voice broke, but she stood firm.320Please respect copyright.PENANA8s5DlpWCQm
“I am not your daughter anymore, Vishkaniya. You lost me… the day you chose darkness over blood.”
Vishkaniya let out a shriek that shook the cliffs.
Kael grabbed Elara’s hand. “We have to run — now!”
