Driven by his relentless curiosity, Julian continued his investigation. He visited the oldest parts of Shadowmere, seeking out anyone who might remember the legends of the Whitfields. He found an old woman who spoke of strange occurrences, whispers in the wind, and a feeling of being watched by unseen eyes.
One day, while standing beneath the ancient willows behind Sabrina's house, Julian heard a faint whisper. It seemed to come from the trees themselves, a voice that was both ancient and mournful. It spoke of Lyra, her pain, her love, and her thirst for vengeance. The whisper sent a shiver down Julian's spine, confirming his suspicion that the town's history was far from over.
