The helicopter’s landing gear slowly dropped. As it hovered close to the ground, the rush of wind pressed the grass flat, turning everything around into a swirling sea of green.
The cabin door hadn’t even opened before more than twenty soldiers in black surrounded the helicopter, guns at the ready.
Their leader aimed his rifle right at the door, voice icy. “We don’t have any dealings with Lydora. What are you doing here at Mount Gemspire, showing up without warning?”
Mount Gemspire wasn’t just a mountain anymore. In the past three years, it had become a name that meant something big in the Triangle—a group, a force to be reckoned with. No one came here uninvited. If you tried to force your way in, you might not make it out alive.
The cabin door swung open. Lydia stood above them, looking down at the man with the gun pointed at her.
“I know I’m not invited. I’m here for an herb. If you agree, name your price. I’ll take it and leave.”
Everyone below stared, caught off guard. The person stepping out was a young woman. For a second, no one said anything.
One of them frowned. “Kid, this isn’t a place for you. Every herb here is worth a fortune. There’s no way you can afford it.”
That was Damien, the head of Mount Gemspire’s defense. No one got past him without permission.
Potato rolled his eyes, voice sharp. “Seriously, open your eyes. This is our boss, the leader of Lydora. You think we can’t pay for a single herb? Who do you think you’re talking down to?”
Damien’s face twisted in surprise.
This girl was the leader of Lydora? No way.
Lydora was famous in the Triangle. Damien had been stationed here for three years, and all he’d ever heard was that their leader was mysterious and impossible to pin down. No one ever said she was a girl.
He scoffed. “You’ll say anything to get what you want. What do you take us for, little kids? You’d better explain why you’re really here, or don’t blame us for what happens next.”
At his signal, every soldier cocked their guns. They weren’t bluffing.
“If you won’t prove it, then I’m afraid this is where your journey ends today.”
Lydia just smiled, cold and sharp. “You really think having more people means you’ve already won?”
There were only six of them. They hadn’t come here to back down.
Damien hesitated. Lydia and her group didn’t look nervous at all, and that uncertainty made him pause. Maybe they really were from Lydora.
“So you say you’re here for an herb. Which one?”
If it was something minor, he could probably let it go and still save face.
But Lydia didn’t hesitate. “Vision Rejuvenation Grass.”

Every chapter is missing a sentence from the end of every chapter. It’s frustrating to try guess what’s missing or said...
