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 hummed against Rory’s collarbone, a steady pulse of warmth like a second heartbeat. She adjusted the strap of her bag, fingers brushing the cold hilt of the Fae blade tucked inside. The air smelled different here—thick with the scent of damp earth and something sweeter, like overripe fruit left too long in the sun. Nyx materialized beside her, their shadowy form rippling as they stepped from the darkness beneath the standing stones. "The boundary’s thin here," they murmured, voice like wind through dry leaves. "The Veil’s barely holding." Isolde didn’t look back as she led them forward, her silver hair catching the dim light filtering through the ancient oaks. "Time moves oddly in the Grove. Best not to linger if we want to return before dawn." Her bare feet made no sound against the mossy ground, leaving no trace of her passage. Rory exhaled, rolling her shoulders to shake off the prickle of unease. "Right. So, no stopping to smell the roses, then?" Isolde’s lips curled, but she didn’t answer. The trees parted without a sound, revealing a clearing bathed in an eerie, golden twilight. The sky above wasn’t sky at all—just a shifting canvas of amber and ochre, like sunlight filtered through honey. Wildflowers carpeted the ground, their petals too vibrant, too *alive*, pulsing faintly as if breathing. A brook cut through the center, its water so clear it looked like liquid glass, but when Rory knelt to touch it, her fingers came away dry. "Is this—?" She trailed off, staring at the reflection in the water. Hers was normal. Nyx’s flickered between solid and shadow. Isolde’s didn’t appear at all. "The Grove doesn’t show what is," Isolde said. "It shows what could be." Nyx crouched beside the brook, their violet eyes narrowing. "Or what was." A rustle came from the undergrowth. Rory tensed, hand drifting toward the Fae blade, but it was only a fox—if it was a fox. Its fur shimmered like polished copper, and its eyes held the same pale lavender as Isolde’s. It watched them for a long moment before melting back into the shadows. "Friendly," Rory muttered. Isolde ignored her, stepping forward. The air thickened around them, pressing in like a held breath. The standing stones at the edge of the clearing pulsed with faint blue light, their runes flaring to life as they passed. Rory reached out, fingers hovering just above the surface of one. Heat radiated from the stone, searing her skin before she could pull away. "Don’t touch the wards," Nyx said, voice tight. "They’re not meant for mortal hands." Rory flexed her fingers, watching the red mark fade. "Noted." The deeper they went, the stranger the landscape became. Trees twisted into impossible shapes—trunks spiraling like DNA strands, branches knitting together to form arches that led nowhere. The ground beneath their feet shifted from moss to something slick and cool, like polished marble, then to a spongy surface that gave slightly underfoot, as if walking on a living thing. A sound cut through the silence—a low, rhythmic hum, like a choir singing just beyond hearing. Rory’s pulse quickened. "Do you hear that?" Nyx tilted their head. "It’s the trees." She blinked. "The *trees*?" Isolde didn’t slow. "They sing when the Veil is weak." The hum grew louder, vibrating in Rory’s bones. She pressed a hand to her sternum, as if that could steady the sudden dizziness. The Heartstone Pendant burned hotter, searing through her shirt. She yanked it out, staring at the crimson gem. It glowed now, pulsing in time with the hum. Nyx’s shadowy form flickered, their edges blurring. "We’re close to a rift." Isolde stopped abruptly. Ahead, the trees parted to reveal a chasm—a jagged tear in the world, its edges glowing with the same amber light as the sky. The air above it shimmered, distorting like heat rising from pavement. On the other side, something moved. Shadows, but not like Nyx. These were deeper, hungrier. Rory’s breath hitched. "Is that—?" "Dymas," Nyx said. The chasm exhaled. A gust of warm, spiced air rushed over them, carrying the scent of roasting meat and something metallic, like blood. Rory’s stomach twisted. The Heartstone flared, its glow casting long shadows across the ground. Isolde turned to them, her lavender eyes unreadable. "The Veil is thinnest here. But it’s not just a tear—it’s a door. And it’s opening." A sound like tearing fabric split the air. The chasm widened, the edges peeling back like lips. On the other side, shapes emerged—figures clad in dark robes, their faces obscured by hoods. One raised a hand, and the air between the realms rippled, bending like water. Nyx stepped forward, their form solidifying. "They’re trying to cross." Rory’s fingers closed around the Fae blade. The metal was ice in her grip. "Can they?" Isolde’s voice was quiet. "Not yet. But they will." The figures on the other side stilled. One turned its head, as if sensing them. Rory’s skin prickled. The Heartstone burned against her skin, its pulse frantic. Then, without warning, the chasm snapped shut. The humming stopped. The air stilled. Silence. Rory exhaled, her breath shaky. "What the hell was that?" Nyx’s form flickered, their edges sharpening back into focus. "A warning." Isolde turned away from the now-sealed rift, her silver hair catching the dim light. "Or an invitation." The Grove seemed to hold its breath. The trees no longer sang. The wildflowers had closed their petals, as if in mourning. Rory’s fingers tightened around the Fae blade. The metal was warming now, as if reacting to the tension in the air. Nyx’s voice was a whisper. "We should go." Isolde didn’t move. "Not yet." A breeze stirred the leaves, carrying with it the faintest hint of smoke. Rory’s nostrils flared. "Isolde—" The seer held up a hand, silencing her. Then she turned, her gaze fixed on something beyond the clearing. Rory followed her line of sight. A figure stood at the edge of the trees. Tall. Cloaked. Motionless. The Heartstone Pendant seared against Rory’s skin. She didn’t need to see the figure’s face to know it wasn’t human. Nyx’s shadowy form coiled tighter, their voice barely audible. "Run."
