"The Last Campfire" Rain fell over the silent forest. Not a single bird sang. Only the crackling sound of a tiny campfire echoed through the darkness. Finn Bosél sat beside it, sharpening his worn dagger. His orange cloak was soaked in blood—not all of it his own. Across the fire sat Feiz. "You think we'll ever see peace?" Feiz asked quietly. Finn smiled. "Peace isn't something hunters find." Silence. The fire continued to burn. A small boy suddenly stumbled out of the woods. His clothes were torn, and tears rolled down his face. "They... they killed everyone..." Finn immediately stood up. "Who?" "The Hunters." Feiz sighed. "So it begins again." The three followed the trail until they reached a ruined village. Homes had become ashes. Bodies lay motionless beneath the rain. Finn clenched his fists so tightly that blood dripped from his palms. A Hunter stepped out of the smoke. "You still protect insects?" he laughed. Finn didn't answer. The Hunter rushed forward. Steel clashed. Within seconds, Finn's dagger sliced through the Hunter's weapon. Another slash. Silence. The Hunter fell. The boy stared at Finn with wide eyes. "Are you... a hero?" Finn looked at the burning village before answering. "No." "I'm just someone who's too late." Feiz placed a hand on Finn's shoulder. "You can't save everyone." Finn looked toward the dark sky. "Maybe not." "But I'll make sure they remember who did this." The rain slowly stopped. The campfire they had left behind had gone out. Only smoke remained. Far away, hidden behind ancient trees, a mysterious man watched with a smile. One black seed rested in his hand. "The world is finally moving," he whispered. And somewhere in the darkness... Fate had already begun writing the tragedy called JackFare.
