** ** **Damien had finally managed to escape from his grandmother’s relentless training. What had started as an exciting opportunity quickly turned into a grueling ordeal. Every muscle in his body ached, and his mind was clouded with fatigue. The training, meant to sharpen his instincts, had become unbearable. Using the excuse that he needed a break to relieve himself, he slipped away from the house, intent on stealing a moment of peace. As soon as he was clear of the property, Damien broke into a brisk walk, letting the cool air ease some of the tension from his body.The winding path led him toward the forest just beyond the estate, its towering trees swaying gently in the late afternoon breeze. At first, the walk was calming, the soft crunch of leaves beneath his feet a welcome distraction from the weight of the day. But as he wandered further, something odd tugged at his senses. A strange, almost magnetic pull drew him deeper into the woods. It was subtle at first, like a whi

“We know you’re already here.” Claud's voice boomed out. His muscles were already pulled taut with tension.“Jeez, If you’re going to yell, at least give us warning so we can take off the earpiece.” Zakaria complained with a wince. “A new eardrum is not easy to come by.”“Shut up. I’m trying to concentrate.” Claud whispered into his earpiece before continuing. “Come out let’s settle this like men.”The boss turned to her right man, the one who suspected this whole setup to be a trap. “Go on then.” She started. “Find out what they want.”He grumbled before stepping out.“You’re the boss?” Claud asked. “I believe I am.”“I was actually expecting someone more powerful.” Claud said. “What are you? An ogre too?”He was surprised that Claud knew about the ogres but he kept his cool. “I’m a changeling.”“Sure whatever.”“I assume you called out to us because you wanted to return the crystal you stole?”“I don’t think it’s considered stealing if it was taken from someone who also stole it.”

Damien got back home to an annoyed grandmother and a worried Clary. “Where have you been?”“Oh, grandma. I didn’t expect to see you there.”“Answer me. Did you run out on your training?”“No... No. Well actually yes but hear me out first. I met a man in the woods.”“What exactly were you looking for in the woods?”“Nothing really, I kind of felt a pull there and when I got there, I got ambushed by big strong creatures…”“…trolls.”“Then I was saved by some people. They said they were forest werewolves. The name of their leader was Wul… Wul.. Wul something Wolf.”“Wulfric Wolf.”“How do you know who he is?”“He was my husband and your grandfather. I haven’t seen him since… since the war.” Tara said. “If I ever lay my eyes on him I’m going to tear him limb from limb.”“What happened?”“He chose his pack over me and his son, that’s what. A war between Forest and mountain werewolves broke out and your dad abandoned us to side with his Forest werewolf pack. Family means sacrifices, making

Lycidas’ glowing eyes remained fixed on the horizon, his path of destruction unwavering as he raised his hand again, this time aiming toward the outskirts of the city.In a moment of desperation, Claud rose once more from the ground, his muscles straining as he forced himself to his feet. Blood dripped from his forehead, but his determination burned hotter. “I’m not letting him destroy the city,” he growled, raising his hands toward the sky.Drawing on every ounce of his elemental power, Claud conjured a massive water bubble that formed around Lycidas. The bubble grew larger and larger, encasing him entirely. Lycidas, still consumed by the power of the crystal, didn’t react at first, but soon the lack of air began to affect him. He thrashed inside the bubble, fists slamming against the walls of water, but the more he fought, the tighter Claud made the bubble.“Come on…just a little more…” Claud whispered, his voice strained with effort as he held the water bubble in place, beads of s

After what felt like hours, but was probably only minutes, Matilda stood up from the ledge, brushing her hands against her jeans. “Come on,” she said, offering Damien a hand as she hopped down to the solid rooftop. “Let’s get out of here.”He took her hand, her warmth lingering as they made their way back through the stairwell and down to the street. The city still buzzed with life as they walked side by side, the neon lights flashing, casting colorful reflections on the wet pavement from a recent drizzle.As they left the noise of the rooftop behind, the atmosphere shifted. It wasn’t tense, but something quieter lingered between them now, a silent understanding from the shared view they’d had. They didn’t speak much as they moved through the streets, their footsteps falling into an easy rhythm.Eventually, they reached Damien’s neighborhood—a quieter, more residential part of Riverdale, tucked away from the city’s chaos. His place was a modest, modern apartment complex, built with sl
