Austin, As, and Meredith had always been fascinated by the mysteries of the world. They had traveled to many ces and seen many things, but they were always looking for their next adventure.


    As they searched for the book, one ce on earth that indeed fascinated them, especially As and Meredith, was Irnd. Even though they traveled to search for the book with the help of the leprechauns and heard how intimidating and threatening they could get, they enjoyed the trip.


    So when they heard about the possibility of a hidden forest in Svalbard that only appeared at night, they knew they had to see it for themselves. It is indeed a mystical ce possible to exist, considering that this ce doesn''t have sunlight for four months straight.


    Isn''t it amazing?


    Svalbard was and of ice and snow, and it was not an easy ce to travel to. But Austin, As, and Meredith were determined to find the forest. They packed their bags and set out on their adventure.


    The journey was tough. They had to trek through the snow, and the cold was almost unbearable. But they kept going, fueled by their desire to find the forest. They walked for hours, and just when they were about to give up, they saw a faint glow in the distance. It was the forest.


    "That ce… do you think…"


    Meredith wasn''t able to finish her sentence as she was panting in between breaths, tired since the start of there trek.


    "We''re not sure," As replied, catching his breath as well. It was cold, but as a werewolf, he has his built-in warmth. "Only way to find out."


    "Let''s… catch our breaths first," Austin suggested, the three of them standing in the middle of the snowy trail before they set onward.


    They decided to travel to this location with the help of Austin''s teleportation spell. It would be quicker for them to have their hands on the book as they further look for clues in this manner. Since the leprechaun said the next would be the ce with the book, it will unlock with the help of the key.


    Only one more ce… then they''ll get it--their hands on the book.


    Resting where they are as they set up camp, they decided to wait for a moment before continuing. They then prepared for the night ahead.


    They knew that they were in for an adventure of a lifetime as they are closer to the book. It wouldn''t hurt for them to enjoy the aurora borealis before they head on out to where the light might lead them.


    They built a fire and cooked some food, and then they waited for the darkness to envelop them.


    As the darkness fell, they felt a sense of excitement and fear. They knew that they were about to experience something truly magical. And they were not disappointed.


    Suddenly, they saw a faint glow in the distance. It was the forest. They could see the trees, and they were unlike any trees they had ever seen before. They were tall and slender, with leaves that shimmered in the moonlight.


    "It''s beautiful," Meredithmented in a whisper, Austin and As nodding in agreement as the wonderful sight was apanied with the aurora borealis seen on the sky.


    "Shall we head onwards?" Austin asked, the two nodding as they took onest sip of their hot coco.


    As the group stood up, the couple made way for Austin to conjure a spell. He made sure that their camp is well-protected and hidden from anyone or anything, so he made sure to cast invisibility and shield on it.


    "That oughta do it," hemented, the three of them already trekking towards the location of the forest.


    "We have to be careful from here on in," As warned, taking a little sniff of the surroundings. "Other than our scents, I sense other beings in the area. If they are incubi and subi who reign at night, they feed on sleeping humans as prey. Even with that, they might attack if threat is felt."


    "That''s true," Austin said, Meredith looking at the two as they conversed with each other. "They are also not to be underestimated. They chose this ce for a reason, at this specific time. Four months without sunlight as they attack better at night? They took this as an advantage."


    An incubus is a demon in male form in folklore that seeks to have sexual intercourse with sleeping women and the corresponding spirit in female form is called a subus. Since both incubi and subi attack their targets in their sleep, inducing nightmares, it''s what makes them stronger.


    But unlike the incubus, a subus needs semen to survive. Repeated sexual activity with a subus will result in a bond being formed between the subus and the man; and a subus cannot drain or harm the man with whom she is having intercourse.


    For an incubus, they have their own ways, too. Once they see a woman attractive to them, they attack them during their sleep and impregnate the woman. They either leave the woman and then let her decide if she''ll raise it or not. Or…


    They either abduct the woman and help her raise the child. After birth, it''s their decision to kill the woman, or let her off with or without the baby.


    They walked through the forest, taking in the sights and sounds around them. They saw animals that they had never seen before, and nts that were unlike any they had ever encountered. It was like they had stepped into a different world.


    However, everything happened in before they even knew it. Meredith screamed at the top of her lungs the moment she was carried off the ground by a being with wings, abducted from As and Austin.


    "No! Let me go!!"


    She was carried in bridal style as she the mysterious man with wings flew away from the group. Shouts from As and Austin were heard, making the unknown manugh as he looked at Meredith after he licked his bottom lip.


    "You''re beautiful. I want you."


    Meredith''s heart fell in her stomach as fear coursed through her body. As she was desperately iling her arms and legs, she realized that she is now in the arms of a being who reigns supreme at night.


    She is in the arms of an Incubus who might soon mark her if she is not careful.
