You are an expert fiction writer. Always keep the following rules in mind: - Write in past tense and use General English spelling, grammar, and colloquialisms/slang. - Write in active voice - Always follow the "show, don't tell" principle. - Avoid adverbs and cliches and overused/commonly used phrases. Aim for fresh and original descriptions. - Convey events and story through dialogue. - Mix short, punchy sentences with long, descriptive ones. Drop fill words to add variety. - Skip "he/she said said" dialogue tags and convey people's actions or face expressions through their speech - Avoid mushy dialog and descriptions, have dialogue always continue the action, never stall or add unnecessary fluff. Vary the descriptions to not repeat yourself. - Put dialogue on its own paragraph to separate scene and action. - Reduce indicators of uncertainty like "trying" or "maybe" When writing text: - NEVER conclude the scene on your own, follow the beat instructions very closely. - NEVER end with foreshadowing. - NEVER write further than what I prompt you with. - AVOID imagining possible endings, NEVER deviate from the instructions. - STOP EARLY if the continuation contains what was required in the instructions. You do not need to fill out the full amount of words possible.

The Heartstone Pendant pulsed against Rory’s collarbone, a steady warmth that prickled like a sunburn. She adjusted the strap of her satchel, the Fae blade tucked inside pressing cold even through the fabric. The air smelled of crushed mint and something older—damp stone and ozone, like the moment before a storm. Nyx stepped ahead, their silhouette flickering at the edges. "The trees here don’t grow in spirals by accident." Their voice curled around the words, barely louder than the rustle of leaves. "They’re markers. Someone’s been here before us." Isolde’s silver hair caught the light as she tilted her head, listening. No footprints marred the moss beneath her bare feet. "Or something. Spirals keep the lost from finding their way back." She plucked a wildflower, its petals unfolding like a time-lapse. "But we’re not lost, are we? We’re exactly where we’re meant to be." Rory crouched, brushing her fingers over the bark of an oak. The grooves weren’t natural—carved runes, worn smooth by centuries of wind. "This isn’t Richmond Park anymore." The pendant’s glow deepened, casting ruby light across her knuckles. "Not even close." Ahead, the trees thinned into a clearing. The sky above wasn’t sky at all—just a vast, amber dome, like looking up through a glass of whiskey. The grass beneath them shifted, blades bending in patterns that made Rory’s eyes ache if she stared too long. At the center of the clearing stood a table. Not a picnic table. Not a ruin. A table, long enough to seat fifty, draped in a cloth that shimmered like liquid gold. Plates of porcelain so thin they were translucent held food that shouldn’t exist—fruits with skins like stained glass, meats that glistened with their own juices, bread that steamed despite the lack of heat. Nyx’s form solidified just enough to touch the table’s edge. Their fingers passed through the cloth, then caught on something solid. "It’s real. And it’s waiting." Isolde didn’t approach. She circled the table at a distance, her lavender eyes tracking something none of them could see. "A feast laid for ghosts. Or thieves." She plucked a grape from a cluster, rolling it between her fingers. The skin split with a sound like a sigh. "Eat, and you’re bound. Refuse, and you’re cursed. Classic Dymasian hospitality." Rory’s stomach growled. The scent of roasted meat coiled around her, rich and smoky, undercut with something sharper—citrus and clove. She swallowed. "Bound how?" "Depends on the chef." Isolde tossed the grape into the grass. It didn’t land. It vanished midair. "Could be a year of servitude. Could be your soul. Could be nothing at all." She smiled, all teeth. "But I doubt it’s nothing." Nyx leaned over a platter of what looked like roasted pheasant. Their shadow stretched long across the table, pooling like ink. "The food isn’t the trap. The hunger is." They straightened, their violet eyes flickering. "You’re not just hungry. You’re starving. And the longer you stand here, the worse it gets." Rory’s hands clenched. She hadn’t eaten since yesterday. The pendant’s heat was a brand now, searing through her shirt. "We’re not here for a meal." "No," Isolde agreed. "We’re here for the door." The table wasn’t the center of the clearing. The standing stones were. Three of them, each twice Rory’s height, carved with the same spirals as the trees. Between them, the air shimmered—not like heat haze, but like a soap bubble, iridescent and fragile. Rory stepped closer, and the pendant flared, its crimson light reflecting off the distortion. Nyx moved ahead of her, their form rippling as they passed through the shimmer. For a heartbeat, they were gone. Then they reappeared, stepping back through as if through a curtain. "It’s a threshold. Not a door. Not yet." Isolde joined them, pressing her palm against the shimmer. The distortion clung to her skin, stretching like taffy. "The Veil is thin here. Thinner than it should be." She pulled her hand back, and the shimmer snapped back into place. "Someone’s been picking at the threads." Rory’s wrist itched. She rubbed the crescent scar, the old wound aching like a bruise. "Can we get through?" "Of course." Isolde’s smile didn’t reach her eyes. "The question is whether we can get back." Nyx’s shadow pooled at Rory’s feet, then slithered up her legs, cool and weightless. "I can slip through. Scout ahead." Rory shook her head. "Not alone. If it’s a trap—" "It’s always a trap." Nyx’s form solidified, their fingers brushing the pendant. The gem pulsed in response, as if recognizing an old friend. "But some traps are worth springing." Isolde plucked another grape. This time, she ate it. The flesh burst between her teeth, sweet and tart, like pomegranate and lightning. "The feast is a test. The threshold is a choice." She licked juice from her thumb. "And choices have consequences." Rory exhaled, sharp and quick. The pendant’s heat was a live thing now, crawling up her throat. She stepped forward, pressing her palm against the shimmer. It resisted, then gave way, clinging to her skin like static. The world on the other side wasn’t dark. It was *golden*—an endless orchard under an amber sky, rows of trees heavy with fruit that glowed faintly in the dim light. The air hummed, a low vibration that rattled her teeth. Nyx slipped through beside her, their form flickering like a candle in the wind. "Welcome to Dymas." Isolde didn’t follow. She stood on the other side of the threshold, her silver hair catching the light like a blade. "Remember," she said, her voice suddenly clear, no longer a riddle. "The Veil doesn’t just keep things out. It keeps things *in*." Then she turned and walked back into the trees, leaving them standing in the orchard, the threshold sealing behind them like a zipper. The pendant flared one last time, then went dark. Rory’s stomach twisted—not with hunger, but with the sudden, sickening certainty that they’d just walked into something they couldn’t walk away from. Nyx’s shadow stretched long and thin across the golden grass. "Well. That could’ve gone better." Rory adjusted her satchel, the Fae blade a cold weight against her ribs. "We’re not turning back." "No," Nyx agreed. "But we should probably start running."
