As night fell, the shadows grew thicker, the darkness beyond the camp undulating like a living thing. The low growl of the Shadowfang Cat pierced the quiet, sharp and urgent—a clear warning of danger.

Lu Feng’s heart clenched. He knew instantly: tonight would bring no peace.

“Stay alert—trouble’s coming!” he hissed, gripping his sword. His eyes, hawk-like, scanned the gloom.

The campfire crackled faintly, its warmth dwindling. The group, moments ago laughing and preparing to retire, now froze. The Shadowfang Cat—usually aloof, lazily basking in Lu Feng’s scratches—suddenly bristled like a spiked black furball, its emerald eyes locked on a shadowy corner beyond the camp. A low, frantic growl rumbled from its throat.

Lu Feng’s smug grin vanished. The air, thick with the scent of roasted meat and camaraderie, turned icy. Only the rustle of leaves and the cat’s escalating snarls remained.

Ayla understood first. Moonlight shimmered in her palms, her eyes narrowing. Tuck and Raphael, seasoned fighters, tightened their grips on weapons, muscles coiled.

Lu Feng rose slowly, his gaze sharpening toward the darkness. A smirk tugged his lips. “Looks like tonight’s dessert is delivering itself,” he muttered.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTr7qfQ8ytK
Orders flew: Ayla and Raphael fortified defensive wards while Lu Feng, Tuck, and the Shadowfang Cat stealthily advanced.

The night reeked of malice. Whispers of vengeance slithered through the air—Grunn’s voice, venomous and plotting.

Under the cat’s invisibility cloak, the trio infiltrated the ogre camp. Firelight revealed Grunn at its heart, clutching a black crystal, murmuring to a cloaked figure. “Grunn’s here,” Lu Feng whispered, anger simmering. “And that sorcerer… trouble.”

The Shadowfang Cat ghosted to the camp’s far side, unseen.

Back at their camp, Lu Feng relayed Grunn’s plans. Dread settled over the group. They devised a trap, leveraging the forest’s labyrinthine terrain. Raphael sketched tactics; Ayla’s moonlight hardened the wards. Tuck hefted his blade, resolve stone-hard.

“Ready?” Lu Feng’s voice was steel.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjvF08v0Eb
“Done,” Raphael said, maps in hand.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qNqYwjJHF
Ayla nodded, her barrier glowing faintly.

Tuck grinned savagely. “Time to make them bleed.”

Then—footsteps. Rapid, panicked. The group braced, weapons raised, expecting ogre hordes.

Instead, a figure stumbled into the firelight—a youth, ragged and breathless. He collapsed, gasping, “Run… *now*!”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQtWZamzac
Tuck’s eyes widened. “Wait—I know this kid!”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzgJ0OYuZQ
But the stranger clutched Lu Feng’s arm, face pale. “Grunn’s not alone—he’s summoned a *Nightfiend*!”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9S8TutOLM
Silence.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgwgO2HKk0
Even the Shadowfang Cat froze.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rdnYM13XT
Lu Feng’s blood turned to ice. *Nightfiend*—a name from darkest legends.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8agrhKnrl
The boy trembled. “It’s already hunting… and it’s *here*.”

Somewhere in the woods, a tree splintered. Something ancient, ravenous, and utterly *wrong* drew near.
