Chapter Highlights:

šŸ”¹ Chapter 2 - The Whispers Begin
Kalu's peaceful sleep is broken by a voice calling his name. The whispers grow stronger, the night air heavy with an unseen force. Despite his fear, he is drawn to the edge of the forest, where an ancient power awaits.

šŸ”¹ Chapter 3 - The Forgotten Grove Calls
Kalu stumbles into the legendary Forgotten Grove, a place of myths and mystery. The trees move of their own will, the sky shifts unnaturally, and an invisible path opens before him. He takes a step forward, and the world around him changes forever.

šŸ”¹ Chapter 4 - Shadows and Secrets
Kalu realizes he is not alone. The grove pulses with an ancient presence, watching, waiting. Shadows twist unnaturally, whispering in voices not of this world. Something powerful lurks withinā€¦ and it is aware of him.

šŸ”¹ Chapter 5 - The Threshold of No Return & Amadiohaā€™s Descent
As Kalu reaches the heart of the grove, the world shiftsā€”doors closing behind him, sealing his fate. But far above, in the celestial realm, Amadioha senses the disturbance. His power wavers, pulled in different directions by unseen forces. The cosmic balance is shifting, and he cannot ignore it. A vision of Kalu flashes before himā€”a mortal entangled in something far greater than himself.

With no time to hesitate, Amadioha descends. The sky trembles as his form becomes etherealā€”lightning and thunder incarnate. The heavens crack open, and the storm god leaves no trace but a lingering, electric energy in his wake.

Meanwhile, in the Forgotten Grove, Kalu feels itā€”a presence unlike the others. A force powerful yet familiar. The trees shudder, the darkness recoils. Somethingā€”or someoneā€”is coming.

āš” Amadioha has entered the mortal realm. But will he arrive in time?
