Shadows Of The Forest
Kyla is a young woman with hidden abilities. When her village is attacked by shadows and she is captured, a light comes to her aid, urging her to venture into the mysterious forest. In the forest she meets attractive deities who divulge that she is the first human in a long time to threaten the balance of powers and she is the sole individual able to save both the mortal and immaterial worlds, as long as she can master her powers and keep her feelings under control. Living with the Four elemental gods seems like an easy task, but it brings its share of...trouble?
Chapter 28: Survival Instinct
I paced back and forth in my chamber, the weight of the situation settling heavily on my shoulders. The tension in the air was palpable, as if the very walls of the gods' domain held their collective breath. I couldn't shake off the feeling that something was terribly wrong.
As I moved, memories of each god's departure replayed in my mind. Niam, usually composed and scholarly, had a furrowed brow and a distant look in his eyes as he bid me farewell. Brod, always jovial and boisterous, had been uncharacteristically quiet, his smile strained. Zane, known for his fiery temperament, had left with a clenched jaw and a flicker of worry in his eyes. And Jace, as serene as the sea itself, had worn a contemplative expression that hinted at deeper thoughts.
