Chapter 154

• Eric’s POV
• That night, as sleep pulled me under, I found myself drifting into a dream—one so vivid, it felt more like a vision than a simple illusion of the night.
• I lay motionless on the cold earth, my body unnaturally still, as though carved from marble. A strange stillness surrounded me, an eerie silence that clung to the air like an omen. My skin was pale, almost translucent in the moonlight, while my dark brown hair fanned around my head like a shadowed halo. My eyes, once burning with life and determination, were now dull and lifeless, empty like the depths of an abandoned well.
