Chapter 1321: Chapter 1321: The Path of Echoes

Though they had walked this path many times, tonight felt different, charged with an energy that prickled the skin. Shadows flickered around them, cast by the dim light of their lanterns, as if the forest itself was holding its breath.

Kael glanced over at Morgana, her expression unreadable as she studied the trees before them. "Are you certain we should be here tonight?" he asked, his voice barely above a whisper.

She nodded, her gaze unwavering. "We've faced every darkness together. Whatever awaits us here, we're ready for it."
