Chapter 104: The Binding Thread

The deeper they ventured into the Veiled Domain, the more Anita’s connection to the Threads grew. She could feel their pull, faint but persistent, like whispers guiding her steps. The air was thick with magic, the kind that seemed to seep into the skin and linger in the soul.

“Do you feel that?” Anita asked, her voice low.

Kael nodded. “It’s a trap. The kind designed to lure the unprepared into madness.”

Jace glanced around, uneasy. “Great. So, let’s not linger, yeah? I’m all for heroics, but this place is starting to make my skin crawl.”

Anita stopped abruptly, her eyes narrowing. She raised her hand, and the Threads materialized faintly in the air, glowing silver and gold. They wove themselves into intricate patterns, leading forward like a beacon.

“This way,” she said, her voice firm.

Kael frowned. “Are you sure? That path looks like it’s heading straight into the heart of the darkness.”
