Chapter 71: An Unexpected Encounter
As they traveled together, Scott and the others learned more about the new group of hunters. They were experienced fighters, well-versed in dealing with the supernatural forces that threatened the world. Their leader, a tall woman named Seraphine, was a formidable warrior with a reputation for ruthlessness. However, beneath her hardened exterior, there was a flicker of something softer—a desire to protect those she cared about.
Seraphine was blunt, but her words carried weight. "The darkness you've been fighting is just the beginning," she told them one evening as they sat around the campfire. "There's a greater force at work here, something older and more powerful. And if we don't stop it now, it will consume everything."
Scott listened intently, his mind racing. "We've seen the darkness take many forms, but we've never faced anything like what you're describing. What do you know about it?"
Seraphine's gaze darkened. "I've been hunting this force for years. It's an ancient evil, one that has been manipulating events from the shadows. It's not just a threat to the world—it's a threat to everything. If we don't stop it now, there won't be anything left to save."
Mia's voice was quiet but steady. "Then we'll stop it. Together."
The group's resolve grew stronger with each passing day, and they pushed on, knowing that they were now part of a larger effort to stop the darkness once and for all. But even as their alliance grew stronger, Scott couldn't shake the feeling that they were walking into something even more dangerous than they realized.
