---- imagine a world where both werewolves and Crets lived peacefully together.

And their dream did come true.

With time everyone learned to live together in the light and the need for the land of darkness was not felt.

Tr was closed off with a seal to stop anyone from entering that area.

It became nothing more than a prohibited territory.

Everything was well until in the last two months, an aura was detected over the river of death and we suspect that the seal had been broken.

Others gasp at the news to look at each other except for me and Lucas.

Thas suspected this already and Damian just confirmed my doubts.

There have been kidnappings happening in the last few months, way more than ever before.

I tracked them personally and I found out that it was a circuit.noveldrama

My eyes steer to him and I was stunned.

I thought he ---- had dismissed those cases because father told him to I never realised he was still investigating it after me and all those other woman were saved from those kidnappers.

T tracked the circuit and I arrived at just one name The land of darkness.

Something big is going on behind this barrier and its time we unravel it.

Others nods to his words, determined to assist him in this.

You all, the special Seven will be joining me in this mission.

In exactly one month from now, we all will be stepping into the land of darkness and uprooting this very weed out from its roots! There could be perils, life threatening clallenges, monsters, beasts, threats we have no idea of.

Our enemy is unknown and our battle field is a land where you cant see.

There is no scope for error because a single mistake by anyone of you can make all of us land dead! ---- Tneed all of you, together as one in this mission! Am I clear! Yes Sir! A loud thunder clap of voices echoes and I was a little late or rather low with the enthusiasm.

Tt was a warm up till now but from today onwards.

We begin the real training.

A blindfold will be tied on your eyes to sharpen your all other senses and our timings will change to night.

We begin at midnight everyday and you will be given time to rest in the day.

Anyone having any questions.

Silence.

No one speaks and Damien nods.

Blindfolds are kept on the table to your right.

Put it on.

While I could feel the anxiousness in others aura, I was surprisingly calm.

And I somehow knew why it was like that.

---- eee = Since childhood I have been trained in darkness as much as I have been trained in light Dad made sure I never felt helpless or weak because of losing a sense.

I tie the blindfold on my eyes and I immediately feel all my other senses getting highlightened.

I could hear the water running behind, the sound of the crickets in the forest, my own steady breaths.

Sight is a luxury Damien's voice boomed, as I hear him circle around us like a hawk.

But instinct? They will keep you alive and breathing.

When you will have nothing? You will still have your instincts.

Phase one.

Recognition.

You all will be assigned a partner.

You will be given two minutes to touch them and remember them.

Thear the sound of someone spraying something and.

I furrow my brows.
