For a brief second, nothing happened, and the world remained still, as though even the forest itself was holding its breath, waiting to see if anything would answer my call. Then, without warning, the ground beneath my feet trembled violently, cracking apart as a burst of blazing fire erupted upward from where my blood had fallen, forcing me to take a step back as heat surged through the air in a powerful wave.

The mist recoiled as well, retreating slightly as if wary, and when I lifted my gaze toward the source of the flames, the fire twisted and condensed before revealing a familiar figure standing casually at its center.

Lucas stood there as if he had simply stepped out for a walk rather than been summoned, his posture completely relaxed, a chicken thigh lazily held in his hand as he took an unbothered bite, his bright golden eyes half-lidded with boredom.

He chewed slowly, then glanced around as if mildly inconvenienced by his surroundings before speaking in a tone that made it clear he found this entire situation annoying.

“How troublesome,” he muttered, taking another bite. “I was just about to ask Evelyn for more food.”

I stared at him for a moment, completely unimpressed, before rolling my eyes as I crossed my arms over my chest, already feeling a headache forming just from looking at him.

“You are still a glutton as always, Lucas,” I said flatly. “You are out there enjoying yourself while I am here trying not to get killed.”

At

my words, his lips slowly curled into a faint smirk, and for the first time since he appeared, he turned his full attention to me, his golden eyes sharpening ever so slightly as they flashed with something far more dangerous beneath the laziness.

No matter how many times I saw him, it was still absurd how attractive his human form was, the kind that could easily make anyone lower their guard if they did not know better, but I knew exactly what stood in front of me.

This was not just some man.

This was a god..

“Oh, you’re still alive?” Lucas said. “I thought you were dead already, and I was even considering looking for your body so I could eat you, since if I can’t kill you, I might as well eat the descendant of the woman who trapped me.”

I let out a quiet breath. “As you can clearly see,” I said dryly, “I’m very much alive. Though that might change very soon if you don’t deal with that thing in front of me,”

His eyebrow lifted at my words, and then a slow, crooked smirk bread across his face, his golden eyes glinting with interest. “Wow,” he drawled, dragging the word out like he was savoring i “Is the powerful, crazy woman actually asking me for help? I never thought I’d live to see this day come so soon,”

I clicked my tongue and shot him an unimpressed look, folding my arms loosely across my chest. “You talk too much, or is it that you’ve gotten weaker over the past few weeks?”

His smirk twitched, clearly offended, and just as he opened his outh to snap back, the black mist surged forward again, faster this time, more aggressive, its presence pressing down on the space around us.

“Merge with me,” it whispered again, its voice no longer soft but asistent, and desperate.

Before it could get any closer, Lucas lifted his hand lazily, as if swatting away an insect, and flames burst to life from his palm, bright and violent, burning with a heat that distorted the r itself.

“Don’t interrupt me when I’m talking,”

flatly.
