Chapter 69: Shadeva, The Loving Sister
Chapter 69 — New Shadow
Meanwhile, Noah was facing his own battle.
A different kind—but far more dreadful than anything the others were fighting.
He was still lying on his back, staring up at the dreadful sky with an almost empty expression. But then, suddenly, he stood up, facing the woman before him.
He felt it.
A strange, urgent feeling to hurry. To finish this and rejoin his team.
The woman stared at him calmly, not rushing him, not attacking—simply waiting.
"You heard my voice... and didn’t immediately die," she said, her voice completely void of emotion.
"I didn’t realize I had weakened so much."
Cold sweat trickled down Noah’s back, but he forced himself to stay calm and answered politely,
"I’m Noah Weaverheart. Oren brought me here to help you—and all the shadows."
