Season 2: Danger on the Horizon

The evening was upon us, and the glow of multiple fires illuminated the camp. The flickering flames cast long shadows on the ground, creating an atmosphere both eerie and warm. As the last light of day faded, I was led into the large meeting area nestled within the hallowed tree. The interior was dimly lit, the walls of the tree illuminated by small lanterns and the soft glow of the fires outside. The air was thick with the scent of burning wood and the murmur of voices.

Several individuals were gathered around a central area. I recognized Madame Kim, Henri, and Marco, but there were also several guests I didn't recognize. My heart pounded in my chest as I stepped inside, feeling a mix of confusion and apprehension. Why have I been called here? I wondered, my mind racing with possibilities.

"Alexis, dear, welcome," Madame Kim said, her voice warm but tinged with seriousness as she beckoned me to stand near her.
