Chapter: Shadows in the Garden, Plans in Motion
---
Lily stood in the tranquil garden, her gaze fixed on the space where Ninja and Logan had vanished moments earlier.
The soft rustle of leaves in the breeze and the delicate fragrance of cherry blossoms surrounded her, but her mind was far from serene.
Behind her, the remaining loyalists knelt in silent reverence, waiting for her command.
She turned to them, her piercing gaze sweeping over their figures. Her voice, firm yet tinged with a commanding warmth, broke the silence.
"I believe it’s time for all of you to take your positions around the mansion," she said, her tone leaving no room for hesitation.
"I won’t allow even the slightest chance of a rogue power-holder threatening me. Your duty is to ensure that no harm comes near me or this sanctuary."
The kneeling figures nodded in perfect unison. One by one, they rose, their movements precise and disciplined, before melting into the shadows of the garden.
Their forms vanished seamlessly into the surrounding environment, leaving no trace behind.
The garden, once filled with their presence, now stood empty, a silent fortress under their watchful eyes.
