chapter 6: The Future

After our declaration of love in the clearing, Étienne and I decided to spend the rest of our lives together. We knew it wouldn't be easy, but we were ready to face any challenges that came our way.

We started making plans for our future together. We decided to build a house in the forest, near the clearing where we had declared our love.

Étienne was an excellent builder, and he began working on our new home. I helped him as much as I could, but I also had to continue my training to become a true warrior.

Lucien-wolf was always there to help and guide me. He taught me new combat techniques and gave me advice on how to use my powers to protect my loved ones.

As the days went by, our house began to take shape. Étienne and I worked hard to finish it, and we were proud of what we had accomplished.

One day, while we were working on the house, I felt something strange. It was as if someone or something was watching us.

I looked around, but I saw nothing. Étienne looked at me, and I saw the same concern in his eyes.

"What's going on?" he asked.

I shook my head.

"I don't know," I said. "But I feel something is wrong."

And then we heard a strange noise, as if someone or something was approaching us.

The strange noise was getting closer, and I could feel my heart racing. Étienne took my hand, and we looked at each other with worry.

"What is it?" he whispered.

I shook my head.

"I don't know," I said. "But I think we should get ready."

Étienne nodded, and we got into a defensive position. The noise was getting closer, and I could sense the tension in the air.

Suddenly, a figure appeared at the edge of the forest. It was a tall, slender man with dark eyes and black hair.

He looked at us with a smile, and I could feel something odd emanating from him.

"Hello," he said. "My name is Malakai. And who are you?"

Étienne and I looked at each other, then turned to Malakai.

"My name is Étienne," he said. "And this is Lyra."

Malakai greeted us, and I could sense that he was different from others. There was something mysterious and powerful about him.

"Pleased to meet you," he said. "I am here to help you."

I raised an eyebrow.

"Help?" I repeated. "How so?"

Malakai smiled.

"I know you are in danger," he said. "I know you have enemies who want to harm you."

Étienne and I looked at each other, then turned to Malakai.

"What do you know?" Étienne asked.

Malakai nodded.

"I know you are the last representatives of an ancient lineage," he said. "I know you have powers that could change the course of history."

I felt a shiver run down my spine.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

Malakai smiled.

"I mean that you are the keys to saving the world," he said. "And I am here to help you fulfill your destiny."
