Chapter 78: Darkness 4

Five months had passed since the creature in the ancient ruins had revealed the location of the Forest of Immortality. Now, Alex and his family found themselves traveling through that very forest, the carriage wheels creaking as they moved deeper into its mysterious depths. The trees around them were unlike anything they had ever seen. Towering and twisted, their bark seemed to pulse with a faint, ethereal glow, as though the very essence of the forest was alive and watching them. The leaves were a deep shade of green, almost black, and they whispered secrets as the wind blew through their branches.
