Luna Aurora novel (Alpha Fenrir) novel Chapter 288

Following the faint pull of the portal’s energy, Elyra and Dain discovered a hidden trail veiled by glowing runes etched into ancient stones. The symbols seemed alive, humming with power that resonated deep within Elyra, sparking fragmented memories she couldn’t quite grasp.

“This place… it feels alive,” she murmured, tracing one of the glowing symbols with her fingers. The sensation sent a shiver down her spine, both comforting and unsettling.

Dain stood beside her, his protective instincts on high alert as his eyes scanned their surroundings. “Whatever it is, it’s guiding us. Let’s hope it’s not a trap,” he said, his tone cautious.

The trail led them to a clearing dominated by a massive, weathered door embedded into the face of a towering cliff. The runes on the door pulsed faintly, their rhythm matching the beat of Elyra’s heart.

“This has to be it,” Elyra whispered, her voice tinged with awe and trepidation. Her hand trembled as she reached for the door’s surface, the energy emanating from it sending warmth through her veins.

Before she could touch it, the ground beneath them shook violently. A guttural growling filled the air as shadow beasts emerged from the forest, their twisted forms lunging toward them with deadly precision.

The runes flared to life, their light bathing the clearing as the air around them hummed with energy. Slowly, the ancient door creaked open, revealing a dark passageway beyond.

Dain stood beside her, his hand resting on the hilt of his blade. “What’s waiting for us on the other side?” he asked, his voice low.

Elyra glanced at him, her golden eyes blazing with determination. “The answers we’ve been searching for,” she replied.
