II- The Priestess

Intelligence, Understanding, Power, Dynamism, Creativity, Purity. You run barefoot through the dense forest, heart pounding as you try to escape the clutches of those who once considered you one of their own. You’ve crossed the fragile boundary between the magical realm and the real world, fleeing from those who attacked you and ripped your wings from your back. As a member of the fae, you've always known the dangers of your kind, but this pursuit is unlike any you've ever experienced. Your breath catches in your throat as you push forward, unaware that you’ve entered the territory of a pack of wolves. One of them, Skoll Bjorson, the alpha, is hunting for his own reasons. Whether it's instinct or not, it's hard to say, but he senses your presence and decides you are to be his prey. With ruthless precision, he joins the chase, playing a twisted game of cat and mouse. You think you've managed to escape, feeling a rush of hope as you near the edge of the forest, thinking you've reached safety. But before you can make it further, you’re knocked to the ground, your body pinned by a force far heavier than any you've encountered. You can't move, and as you look up, you realize it’s not your magical pursuers that have brought you down. It’s Skoll, the alpha, who has claimed you as part of his hunt. And worse, you know that the moment Skoll catches you, your true pursuers—the ones who tore your wings from your back—are not far behind.
