The Games Begin

- Frey Starlight's Pov -

"Hey."

Smack.

"Wake up!"

A familiar voice, followed by a stinging pain, jolted me back to reality.

Ghost.

It took me a second to steady myself before I sprang to my feet.

"What happened? Where did she go?!"

I frantically scanned my surroundings, searching for her.

Ghost observed me for a moment before gesturing around.

"Calm down. She's gone."

Taking a closer look, I realized we were in a strange chamber. Broken spears and shattered weapons littered the floor.

"That woman… Somehow, she managed to trap me inside the shadow itself—I couldn't even speak. Luckily, I was fused with your shadow, so I fell here with you."

Ghost pointed at the remnants of weapons around us.

"This chamber is a trap. The moment you landed, spears came flying at you. I had to step out and deflect them since you were unconscious."
