Chapter 151 Devious Plans

• The dark energy that swirled around me hummed with anticipation. I could feel the weight of the four gems in my pocket, their power tugging at my soul, eager to be unleashed. But there was still one piece missing: the final gem at Silverwood. That gem was the key to unlocking everything. And now, Seraphina was about to help me get it.
• I waited in the shadows just beyond the packhouse, my eyes scanning the horizon. Seraphina was late, but I wasn’t worried. She needed me now more than ever, just as I needed her. Our goals had aligned, though for different reasons.
• The sound of footsteps on gravel caught my attention, and I turned to see Seraphina emerging from the woods, her expression cold and calculating. She was dressed in her usual form-fitting attire, a cloak of authority wrapped around her like armor. But there was something else in her eyes—a hunger for power that mirrored my own.
