Chapter 1 Whispers in the Hollow

The village of Larth's Hollow was quiet as dusk settled over the rooftops, a silence only broken by the occasional rustle of leaves in the wind. Elira Wren moved through the narrow streets, the sharp scent of herbs following her like a ghost. As an apothecary, she'd grown used to the whispers behind her back. People knew she was different, but no one ever said it outright. It was when she reached her small, ivy-covered cottage that she heard it-the unmistakable howl of a wolf. Low. Deep. Too close.

Elira frowned and glanced toward the edge of the forest where the trees gathered like shadows. The howls echoed again, followed by a chilling silence. She had heard wolves before. The people of the Hollow always claimed the beasts were a sign of bad omens, but Elira had never believed in superstition. A soft knock at her door broke her thoughts. She turned quickly, not expecting visitors this late. The door creaked open to reveal a boy, barely ten years old, his face pale, eyes wide with fear. "Miss Elira... please... my brother, he-he's hurt." Without a word, Elira motioned for him to lead the way. As they rushed through the village to his house, the boy explained between ragged breaths that he'd been playing near the woods when a wolf had attacked him. He swore the creature hadn't looked normal-too large, too powerful. By the time they arrived at the boy's home, his leg was wrapped with a makeshift bandage, but the wound was still bleeding heavily. Elira knelt beside him and carefully unwrapped the cloth. The cut was jagged and deep. The edges were uneven, like claws had torn through flesh. "This isn't from a regular wolf," Elira murmured, more to herself than to the boy's frantic mother. She glanced out the window. The shadows in the trees seemed to move, as if something was watching her. --- After helping the boy and ensuring the wound was properly cleaned and dressed, Elira turned back to the village square. She needed fresh herbs, but her gut told her something was wrong. Her eyes kept flicking to the dark line of the forest, where the howls still echoed, closer now. When she reached her apothecary, Elira grabbed a leather pouch and began filling it with sage and other supplies. She paused, sensing something-someone-was near. Her heart pounded in her chest as she stepped out into the square. A group of armored men stood near the edge of the cobblestones, their heavy boots echoing on the stone. Elira recognized the insignia on their tunics-Fenric, the local lord's soldiers. One of them, a tall man with dark hair and sharp features, stepped forward. "Elira Wren?" She didn't answer immediately, watching him with suspicion. There was no reason for them to be here, not unless- "You're under arrest," he said coldly. "For consorting with wolves. You've been seen near the Veilwood." His voice dropped, as though he expected her to cower. "We have orders to bring you to the lord." --- Elira didn't flinch. "I don't consort with wolves, and you don't have any business with me." The soldier's hand went to his sword, but before he could draw it, there was a sudden rustling from the trees. A shadow moved fast, a blur of fur and rage. Elira barely had time to react before the beast lunged, tearing into the soldiers with terrifying speed. The man in front of her was tossed aside, his armor crumpling under the force of the attack. Elira's breath caught in her throat as she saw the creature-a massive, wolf-like beast, its fur dark as night, eyes glowing a brilliant gold. It moved like a storm, powerful and relentless, tearing through the soldiers as though they were no more than paper. For a moment, everything stood still. The beast stopped. Its gaze turned toward Elira, locking eyes with her, and for a heartbeat, the world seemed to freeze. Then, without a sound, the wolf dashed back into the forest, vanishing into the darkness. --- Elira didn't move for several moments, her mind racing to catch up with what had just happened. The soldiers, their uniforms shredded, stumbled to their feet and ran in the opposite direction. The village was quiet again, except for the distant howls. She took a deep breath and looked out toward the forest, feeling a pull in her chest. It was no ordinary wolf. She had seen those eyes before, in her dreams. And somehow, she knew: this was only the beginning. --- By the time Elira returned to her cottage, her hands were shaking. She locked the door behind her and sat in the dim light of the hearth, her thoughts swirling. The beast in the woods, the soldiers, the way it all felt... she couldn't ignore it any longer. She pulled her sleeve up and ran her fingers over the scar that had been on her skin as long as she could remember. The same scar that burned when the moon was full. It pulsed now, the heat spreading beneath her skin. Something had awakened in the forest. And she had a feeling it was calling to her.
