THE SHADOWS IN THE NIGHT

As the night wore on, Xander began to notice a strange presence lurking in the shadows. At first he taught it was his imagination, but the presence grew stronger, he realized something was amiss.

One night , as he was walking back to the quarters, he saw a figure darting around the corner. He quickened his pace but the figure was too fast. It vanished in thin air, leaving Xander with a sense of unease.

He didn’t mention the incident to anyone, but he couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off. He began to wonder if the White Panther group was hiding a secrets, and if the presence he had seen was connected to the group.

Meanwhile Alistair was experiencing strange visions in his dreams. He saw flashes of the dark forest, and a figure standing in the shadows. He couldn’t make out the figure’s face, but he knew it was watching him.

He didn’t mention the visions to anyone but he couldn’t shake the feeling that something was trying to communicate with him. He began to wonder if the visions were connected to his training, and if the Red Lions were hiding secrets of their own.

As days turned to weeks, Xander and Alistair continued to experience strange occurrences. They began to reliaze something was brewing in the shadows, something that threatened to disrupt their training and their quest to become the Wizard King.

One night as the were walking back to their quarters, they stumbled upon a hidden passageway. The air was thick with a scent of magic, and they couldn’t fill the presence of something powerful lurking in the shadows.

“Let’s check it out”, Xander whispered, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

Alistair hesitated, his sense of high alert. “I don’t know, Xander this feels off”.

But Xander was undeterred. He pushed forward, his heart pounding with anticipation. As they they made their way deeper in the passageway, they stumbled upon a hidden chamber. And what they found there would change everything.

The chamber was filled with ancient artifacts and mysterious symbols etched into the walls. They both exchanged nervous glance, unsure of what they have stumbled upon.

Suddenly, they heard a faint whispering in their ears. “Welcome young wizards”. The voice said. “We have been waiting for you”.

Xander and Alistair spun around, trying to locate the source of the voice. But there was no one in sight. The whispering grew louder, more urgent.

“What do you want from us?”. Xander demanded, his voice shaking slightly.

The whispering stopped, and the chamber fell silent. They both waited with bated breath, unsure of what will happen next.

As they stood there, frozen in anticipation, the air in the chamber began to shift and swirl. A faint mist appeared, coalescing into a figure that stood before them.

They both gasped in unison, their eyes fixed on the figure. It was a woman, tall and statuesque, with long silver hair that cascaded down her back like a river of moonlight.

“Who are you?”. Xander asked his voice above a whisper.

The woman smiled, her eyes glinting with a knowing light. I am the guardian of this place, she said. “ And I have been waiting for you, young wizards”.

They both exchanged glance. What did she mean? And what does she wants from them?

As they stood there, unsure of of what to do next, the woman began to speak. Her words with low and hypnotic weaving a spell which drew both of them in.

“You have been chosen”, she said. “Chosen to fulfil an acient prophecy. A prophecy that will determine the fate of the wizarding world”.

They both listened, entranced, as the woman spoke of the prophecy. They new their lives will never be the same again.
