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 air hummed with a low, resonant thrum, like the plucked string of some vast, unseen instrument. Rory’s boots sank into the mossy ground, each step releasing a faint, earthy scent—rich and green, but undercut with something sharper, metallic. The Heartstone Pendant at her throat pulsed once, a slow, warm throb against her skin. Nyx materialized beside her, their shadowy form flickering at the edges like a candle flame in a draft. "This place is older than your world," they murmured, voice barely more than a breath. "It remembers things that haven’t happened yet." Isolde tilted her head, silver hair spilling over her shoulder as she studied the towering oak standing stones that ringed the grove. No footprints marked the soft earth around them, though Rory had seen her walk the same path moments before. "Time is a river here," the seer said, fingers brushing the bark of the nearest stone. "And we’ve just stepped into the shallows." Rory exhaled, watching her breath curl in the cool air. The grove stretched before them, a tangle of wildflowers and creeping vines that glowed faintly under the amber sky. Not sunlight—something else. The light had weight, pressing down like warm honey. In the distance, a cluster of mushrooms the size of stools pulsed with a soft, bioluminescent blue. "Those weren’t here a second ago," Rory said. Nyx crouched, extending a hand toward the fungi. Their fingers passed through the nearest cap, and the glow rippled outward like a stone dropped into still water. "They’re not *here* now. Not in the way you mean." Isolde plucked a flower from the air—petals the color of twilight, dewed with something that wasn’t water. She held it out to Rory. "Taste." Rory hesitated, then pinched a petal between her fingers. It dissolved on her tongue, sweet and bright, like honey and lightning. Her vision swam for a heartbeat, and when it cleared, the grove had shifted. The standing stones now leaned inward, their surfaces carved with spirals that seemed to move when she wasn’t looking directly at them. Nyx straightened, their violet eyes narrowing. "The grove is testing us." A breeze that wasn’t a breeze coiled around Rory’s ankles, tugging her forward. The moss beneath her feet thickened, soft as velvet, and the air grew heavier, thick with the scent of crushed herbs and something older—burnt sugar and iron. The Heartstone Pendant flared hot against her collarbone. Isolde’s voice cut through the haze. "It’s not just testing. It’s *hungry*." Rory’s pulse jumped. Ahead, the trees parted, revealing a clearing where the ground sloped into a shallow basin. At its center stood a pool, its surface black as polished obsidian. No ripples disturbed it, but the water—if it was water—seemed to breathe, rising and falling in slow, deliberate swells. Nyx stepped forward, their form solidifying as they knelt at the pool’s edge. "This isn’t water." Rory joined them, crouching low. Her reflection stared back, but wrong. Her eyes were too wide, her mouth stretched in a silent scream. She recoiled, but the image didn’t. It smiled. Isolde’s hand closed around her wrist, nails biting into her scar. "Don’t look away. It feeds on fear." The pool’s surface rippled again, and this time, something broke through—a hand, pale and slender, fingers splayed as if reaching for the sky. Then another. And another. A dozen hands emerged, groping blindly before sinking back beneath the black mirror. Nyx’s voice was a growl. "We’re not alone." The grove had gone silent. No birds, no rustling leaves. Just the slow, wet sound of the pool breathing. Rory’s fingers curled into fists, her nails digging crescents into her palms. The Heartstone Pendant burned now, searing against her skin. Isolde’s grip tightened. "It’s not just the grove. Something’s *using* it." A shadow detached itself from the trees—a figure, tall and gaunt, its edges blurred as if viewed through warped glass. It moved without sound, gliding toward the pool. The hands beneath the surface surged upward, grasping at its legs, but it didn’t slow. Didn’t react. Rory’s breath hitched. "What the hell is that?" Nyx’s form flickered, their voice a whisper. "A memory. Or a warning." The figure reached the pool and knelt, plunging its hands into the black water. The surface roiled, and for a heartbeat, Rory thought she saw faces—dozens of them, pressing upward, mouths open in silent screams. Then the figure stood, turning toward them. Its face was a void. No eyes, no mouth. Just smooth, featureless skin stretched over bone. Isolde’s voice was a blade. "Run." The grove twisted. The standing stones loomed closer, their spirals writhing like serpents. The air thickened, pressing in from all sides, and the Heartstone Pendant seared Rory’s skin, its glow bleeding through her shirt. She stumbled, her boots sinking into the moss as if it were quicksand. Nyx grabbed her arm, their touch solid and cold. "This way." They bolted, branches whipping at their faces, the ground shifting beneath their feet. The grove wasn’t just a place anymore. It was alive. Watching. Hungry. Isolde’s voice cut through the chaos. "The stones! We have to reach the stones!" Rory risked a glance over her shoulder. The figure was gone. But the pool wasn’t. It stretched behind them now, a black ribbon cutting through the grove, its surface churning with grasping hands. Nyx yanked her forward. "Don’t look back." The standing stones loomed ahead, their carvings pulsing with a faint, eerie light. Rory’s lungs burned, her legs screaming. The Heartstone Pendant was a brand against her chest. Isolde reached the stones first, pressing her palm against the nearest one. The carvings flared, and the air between the stones shimmered, warping like heat over pavement. "Now!" Isolde shouted. Rory didn’t hesitate. She lunged through the gap, Nyx at her heels. The world twisted, the grove dissolving into a blur of color and sound. Then— Silence. She hit the ground hard, her knees slamming into damp earth. The air was cooler here, thinner. She sucked in a breath, tasting rain and pine. The Heartstone Pendant had gone cold against her skin. Nyx materialized beside her, their form flickering like a guttering flame. "We’re out." Rory pushed herself up, her hands trembling. Behind them, the grove was gone. In its place stood the familiar outline of Richmond Park, the trees ordinary, the sky a pale, pre-dawn gray. Isolde stepped through the standing stones last, her silver hair dull in the dim light. She didn’t look back. "It let us go," she said, voice hollow. "This time."
