🌌 The Fifth Spirit and the Dream Eater 🌲

“Those children think they can defeat me? I’ll teach them a lesson or two,” the troll snarled, his voice thick with gravel and spite. His claws scraped the stone like rusted blades, and his breath reeked of old curses. Beneath the moon’s pale eye, he loomed over the shattered bridge that once led to the Forest Terminal.

But the children didn’t flinch.

“We can’t just run out and fight,” whispered Liora, clutching the map etched in starlight. “They’ve taken Kael. To the witch’s house.”

Everyone knew what that meant.

The Forest Terminal was no ordinary gate—it was a threshold between worlds. A place where time bent, where memories unraveled, and where the witch’s servants waited in silence. Few who passed through those gates ever returned. And those who did… weren’t quite themselves.

But Kael had been marked.

The sigil on his back—an eye within a crescent moon, surrounded by thorns—was no mere tattoo. It was the seal of a Dream Eater. A guardian forged in nightmare, born to consume fear and protect the kingdom from the horrors that slithered between sleep and waking.

“You became exactly what that sigil represents,” Liora whispered to the wind, hoping Kael could hear. “You were meant to face this.”

The prophecy echoed in her mind:  

“When Adam’s flesh and Adam’s bone sits at Cair Paravel in throne…”  

It was more than a riddle. It was a warning. A promise. A reckoning.

The forest pulsed with ancient magic. And deep within its roots, the fifth spirit stirred.

They say there are four elemental spirits—Flame, Stone, Wind, and Tide. But the fifth? The Bridge. It binds the physical to the mystical, the living to the dreaming. It is the whisper between heartbeats, the shimmer between thoughts. And it had chosen Kael.

There had long been rumors of a magic that crystallized anything it touched. Trees frozen mid-bloom. Rivers turned to jagged glass. Even human blood, hardened into ruby shards. The witch fed on it. Preserved it. Used it to trap souls in eternal stillness.

But Kael had broken the cycle.

“It’s all over,” the troll muttered now, his voice quieter, almost reverent. “Keeping their souls won’t serve me now. Besides… I’m a man of my word.”

He stepped aside.

The children passed, eyes wide, hearts trembling. The forest opened before them like a wound. And somewhere, in the witch’s house of crystal and bone, Kael stood—his eyes glowing with dreamlight, his hands trembling with power not entirely his own.

The fifth spirit watched.

And the gates began to close.
