The Omega: Mated To The Four

Chapter Seventy Four-1

The twins and I carried the dusty books to my room, their spines cracked and edges frayed from centuries of handling. Despite their age, these tomes held power-not just in their contents, but in the weight of history they bore. The dim light of my bedside lamp cast long shadows across the room as we settled onto the plush carpet, spreading the books in a semicircle around us.

Austin leaned back against the bedframe, flipping through the pages of a particularly ancient volume. "You'd think after all this time, someone would've at least thought to type these out," he muttered.

Alex smirked from his place on the floor. "And lose the charm of deciphering faded ink? Never."

I couldn't help but grin as I opened one of the books, the musty scent of old paper filling my nose. But as we read, the lighthearted mood began to fade. The texts told a chilling tale-one that made my stomach twist with unease.

The books spoke of a time long ago when the High Witches governed with wisdom and unity. But beneath the surface of their peace lay a festering darkness. One of the High Witches, lured by whispers of forbidden power, allowed herself to be swayed by the Shadow

Weaver.

Her betrayal fractured the unity of the High Witches, her descent into darkness giving rise to the Children of the Eclipse. These witches, bound by their fanatical devotion to the Shadow Weaver, sought to resurrect the entity and unleash its chaos upon the world once more. They used forbidden arts given by the shadow weaver and helped create the first umbrakin. Just as wolves were

born from the moonlight these creatures were born from darkness.

"They revered the Shadow Weaver as a god," I murmured, reading aloud. "A god of darkness and chaos."

Alex leaned closer, his eyes scanning the text alongside mine. "And they're still trying to bring it back," he said grimly. "That's what all this is about. The rituals, the attacks-they're all steps toward reviving the Shadow Weaver."

Austin ran a hand through his hair, his brow furrowed. "But the shadow weaver is bound in its prison by the lunar keystone.." He closed his book with a thud, leaning back with a heavy sigh. "And Stormi is the only one that knows where it is."

He was right but, I didn't know where to begin from. And then the riddle rang in my

ear.

In a cavern's shadow where history allows.
