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 standing stones loomed like sentinels, their gnarled roots twisting into the earth. Rory adjusted the strap of her messenger bag, the Heartstone Pendant tucked safely beneath her shirt, its warmth a steady pulse against her skin. The air smelled of damp moss and something sweeter—honeysuckle, maybe, or something older. Nyx stepped forward first, their shadowy form rippling like smoke caught in a draft. "The boundary’s thin here. Can you feel it?" Rory exhaled, her breath fogging in the chill. "Like static before a storm." Isolde glided between the stones, her silver hair catching the dim light. She didn’t leave footprints in the dew-damp grass. "The Grove remembers those who enter with purpose. It will show you what you seek." Her voice carried the weight of a riddle, as always. Rory followed, the grass giving way beneath her boots. The moment she crossed the threshold, the world tilted. The trees ahead weren’t just trees—they were too tall, their bark shimmering with veins of silver, their leaves shifting between green and gold like a living kaleidoscope. The air hummed, thick with the scent of blooming nightshade and something metallic, like ozone after lightning. Nyx solidified beside her, their violet eyes wide. "This isn’t just Earth." Isolde smiled, but it didn’t reach her lavender eyes. "No. It’s the space between." A path wound ahead, lined with flowers that glowed faintly blue in the twilight. Rory crouched, brushing her fingers over one. The petals were cool, almost damp, like morning dew—but it was dry. The petal pulsed under her touch, a slow, rhythmic throb. "Did you see that?" Rory whispered. Nyx’s shadow stretched long and thin, pooling around her boots. "It’s alive." Isolde knelt beside her, plucking a flower. It didn’t wilt in her hand. "The Grove feeds on memory. It blooms where the past lingers." She held it out. "Take it. It will remember you, too." Rory hesitated, then tucked the flower into her bag. The moment it left Isolde’s fingers, the petals darkened, deepening to indigo. A sound cut through the quiet—a whisper, but not from any of them. It slithered through the trees, a voice without a source. Rory’s pulse jumped. "Did you hear that?" Nyx’s form flickered, their edges blurring. "Voices. But not words." Isolde stood, her gaze fixed on the path ahead. "The Grove speaks in echoes. It’s showing you what it wants you to see." The trees parted, revealing a clearing. At its center stood a pool, its surface still as glass. But the reflection wasn’t theirs. It showed a figure—a woman with Rory’s face, but older, her bright blue eyes sharp with something like triumph. She wore a cloak of deep crimson, and in her hand, she held a dagger that glinted like moonlight. Rory’s breath hitched. "What the hell is that?" Isolde’s voice was soft. "A possibility." The reflection rippled, the image dissolving into mist. The pool’s water darkened, swirling like ink. Rory stepped back, her boot sinking into something soft. She looked down. The ground was covered in petals—thousands of them, all the same deep indigo as the one in her bag. They weren’t scattered. They formed a pattern, spiraling outward from the pool’s edge. Nyx’s voice was tight. "That wasn’t there before." Isolde’s fingers twitched at her sides. "The Grove is changing." A breeze stirred, carrying the scent of rain and something sharper—copper, maybe, or old blood. Rory’s scar prickled. She rubbed at it absently, her gaze locked on the pool. The water stilled again, but this time, the reflection wasn’t hers. It was Evan. His face twisted in a snarl, his hands reaching up from the depths as if trying to claw his way out. Rory’s stomach lurched. She stumbled back, her heel catching on a root. Nyx’s shadow lashed out, wrapping around her wrist like a cool ribbon. "It’s not real." Isolde’s voice cut through the haze. "The Grove shows you what you fear. It doesn’t make it true." Rory swallowed hard, forcing herself to look away. The image wavered, then vanished. The pool’s surface settled, once again reflecting the sky. But the sky wasn’t right. It wasn’t the warm amber of Dymas, nor the muted gray of London. It was a deep, bruised purple, streaked with veins of gold. And the stars—if they were stars—weren’t pinpricks of light. They pulsed, slow and steady, like distant heartbeats. Nyx’s grip on her wrist tightened. "We’re not in your world anymore." Isolde turned, her silver hair catching the strange light. "No. But we’re not in Hel, either." She gestured to the path ahead, where the trees thinned into another clearing. "The Veil is thin here. The Grove exists in the cracks." Rory followed her gaze. Beyond the trees, something glinted—a structure, half-hidden by vines. It looked like a temple, its stone weathered but still standing, its pillars carved with symbols that made her eyes ache if she looked too long. Nyx’s form solidified, their shadow pooling at their feet. "That wasn’t here before." Isolde’s lips curved, but there was no humor in it. "It was. You just couldn’t see it." Rory stepped forward, her boots crunching on something brittle. She looked down. The petals were gone. In their place lay bones—small, delicate, like those of a bird. But they weren’t white. They were black, as if scorched, and they crumbled to dust at her touch. Nyx crouched beside her, their fingers hovering just above the remains. "Something died here." Isolde’s voice was quiet. "Or something was born." The wind picked up, carrying the scent of rain and something else—something sweet and cloying, like rotting fruit. Rory’s stomach twisted. She stood, brushing her hands on her jeans. "We should keep moving." Nyx rose beside her, their violet eyes glowing faintly in the dim light. "Agreed." The path narrowed, the trees pressing in closer. Their branches twisted overhead, forming a tunnel of gnarled wood and shifting leaves. The air grew heavier, thick with the weight of something unseen. Rory’s skin prickled, her breath shallow. Then the path opened again. The temple stood before them, its entrance a gaping maw of darkness. But it wasn’t empty. Inside, something moved—a flicker of light, like a candle flame in the wind. Isolde stepped forward, her bare feet silent on the stone. "The Grove has been waiting for you." Rory hesitated, her fingers brushing the Heartstone Pendant beneath her shirt. It pulsed once, warm and steady. She took a deep breath and followed.
