Chapter 14: The Hidden Weakness
The aftermath of the valley battle left the allied creatures shaken, but alive. Tevlon sat atop a moss-covered rock, her hands still glowing faintly from the surge of power she'd unleashed. Kane knelt beside her, watching the horizon with sharp, calculating eyes.
"We can't keep reacting," Kane said finally. "Posidus will keep testing us, probing for weaknesses. We need a plan… and we need an advantage."
Tevlon nodded, her mind racing. "But what could possibly stop him? He's stronger than anything I've faced."
Lyra stepped forward, her silver fur gleaming in the afternoon sun. "Strength alone won't defeat him. Every dark force has a weakness. Even Posidus."
Kane's ears twitched. "Go on."
"There's an old legend," Lyra said, voice low. "A tale whispered among the wolves of Pack 23. Posidus' power is tied to a source beyond the Shadowed Plains—a shard of the Moonstone. If it's shattered, even partially, it weakens him. But it's hidden… guarded by forces that would kill any who seek it."
Tevlon's eyes widened. "The Moonstone… I've heard of it. But it's supposed to be impossible to reach."
Lyra shook her head. "Not impossible. But dangerous. You would face trials designed to destroy the unworthy. The shard is protected by illusions, guardians, and traps. Only someone with your magic, Princess… and someone who truly trusts you… can succeed."
Kane's golden eyes met hers, sharp and serious. "We'll do it. But you need to be ready, Tevlon. This won't be like the trials in the temple or the battles in the valley. One mistake, and Posidus will have you—and everything we've built—destroyed."
Tevlon clenched her fists, determination surging. "Then we prepare. We gather information, allies, and strength. And we go for the Moonstone. If it's the only way to stop him… then I'll risk it all."
Lyra nodded approvingly. "Courage alone will not save you. You must master your magic, your strategy, and your trust in those who fight alongside you. And you must be ready to face not just Posidus… but the darkness inside yourself."
Kane placed a steady hand on her shoulder. "You're ready for this, Princess. I'll be with you every step of the way. And together, we'll find that shard."
Tevlon felt a spark of hope—a plan, a path forward. But as the wind whispered through the trees, she sensed something lurking beyond their camp, unseen, watching, waiting. Posidus' reach was long, and he knew they were planning.
Somewhere in the shadows, his golden eyes glimmered with cruel anticipation. He had not revealed everything yet… and Tevlon had no idea how dangerous the next move would be.
