Chapter 67 - Ep.67The Blood of Truth

After the third veil, the crimson mist began to fade, replaced by the golden light of dawn. Lalin, Emma, and Allia stepped into a wide field, where the soil had been tilled for the season's first planting. The air was thick with the scent of earth and smoke, and an unseen presence seemed to hum around them.

Villagers gathered in a circle, carrying offerings of rice, fruits, and fragrant flowers. They chanted in unison, calling upon spirits of the land, ancestral guardians, and the deities of the forests and mountains. Golden threads of light floated from the offerings into the sky, weaving into protective symbols above the newly sown fields.

An elder approached, hands raised in blessing.

> "May the spirits of our ancestors, the guardian deities, and the creatures of the forest watch over this season. May the seeds grow strong, and the hearts of those who toil be protected."

Lalin, Emma, and Allia watched silently, feeling the warmth of blessings fill them.

For the first time in their journey, the pain of their past mingled with hope. Their bloodlines had carried curses, grief, and betrayal—but here, they witnessed the cycle of life, protection, and renewal.

The three girls knew that, despite the trials and shadows, the world still held care, respect, and the quiet miracles of tradition. The ancient rites reminded them that even in sorrow, life continues, nurtured by the hands of those who honor the past.

They joined the villagers in sowing the first seeds, their hands touching the same fertile soil, connecting not only to the earth but to each other — their hearts beating as one, bound by blood, by fate, and now, by hope.
