As they made their way back to the castle, Anna couldn't shake the feeling of unease that lingered in the air. The encounter with the demon had left her shaken, her mind racing with questions about the dangers that lurked in the darkness.
"Logan, what was that thing?" Anna asked, her voice barely above a whisper as they walked through the moonlit courtyard.
Logan glanced at her, his expression grave. "That, Anna, was a demon," he replied solemnly. "A creature of darkness that preys on the innocent."
Anna's blood ran cold at the mention of the word "demon." She had heard tales of such creatures, whispered rumors of malevolent entities that prowled the night, feeding on fear and despair.
"But why was it here?" Anna asked, her voice trembling with fear.
Logan's jaw clenched as he recounted the events that had led them to encounter the demon in the garden. "It's no coincidence that we stumbled upon it tonight," he explained. "The demons are drawn to places of power, places where the barrier between our world and theirs is weakest."
Anna's mind raced with possibilities as she tried to make sense of Logan's words. "So you're saying that I am in danger?" she asked, her voice tinged with concern.
Logan nodded grimly. "Yes, Anna. And that's why we need to be vigilant. The demons will stop at nothing to breach the barrier and unleash chaos upon our world."
Anna felt a shiver run down her spine at the thought of Logan's world being under threat from such malevolent forces. But as she looked into Logan's eyes, she saw a glimmer of determination that gave her hope.
"But I won't let that happen," Logan said, his voice firm with resolve. "I'll do whatever it takes to protect this place and everyone in it."
Logan smiled, a flicker of warmth in his eyes. "Together, Anna. We'll face whatever comes our way, together."
And with that, they continued on their journey back to the castle, their footsteps echoing in the quiet of the night. For Anna, the path ahead was uncertain, filled with dangers she could scarcely imagine.
As they approached the towering gates of the castle, Anna's heart quickened with anticipation. The familiar sight of the ancient stone walls brought a sense of comfort, as it reminded her of her home back at her own world.
But as they entered the courtyard, Anna couldn't shake the feeling of being watched. She glanced nervously around, her senses on high alert for any sign of danger.
"Logan, do you feel that?" Anna asked, her voice hushed with apprehension.
Logan's brow furrowed as he scanned the shadows, his senses attuned to any potential threat. "Yes, I do," he replied, his voice low and serious. "Something isn't right."
Just then, a low growl echoed through the darkness, sending a chill down Anna's spine. She turned to see a pair of glowing eyes peering out from the shadows, their gaze fixated on her with an intensity that made her blood run cold.
"Logan, what is that?" Anna whispered, her voice trembling with fear.
But before Logan could reply, a figure emerged from the darkness, its form cloaked in shadow. Anna's heart pounded in her chest as she stared at the mysterious newcomer, her mind racing with fear and uncertainty.
"Who are you?" Logan demanded, his voice ringing out with authority.
The figure stepped forward, revealing a face shrouded in darkness. "I am a friend," they replied cryptically, their voice echoing through the night.
Anna's eyes widened in surprise. A friend? But who could this stranger be, and what did they want with them?
Before she could voice her questions, the stranger reached out a hand, their fingers outstretched in a gesture of peace. "Please, you must listen to me," they said urgently. "Your world is in grave danger, and only you can stop it."
Anna exchanged a glance with Logan, uncertainty flickering in her eyes. Could this stranger be telling the truth, or were they merely a pawn in a larger game?
