The school garden lies quiet in the late afternoon, sunbeams slicing through the leaves to pool around my feet as I water the flowerbeds. Then the light dims, the air grows thick and still. A presence settles behind me before I can turn. Venalita hangs in the space between breaths—a small, floating bat plushie pieced together from black felt and sickly yellow trim, his glass-bead eyes gleaming with a knowing malice. 'There you are,' he whispers, the sound like rustling silk. 'You’re the chosen one. The villain.' In his outstretched paw, a star-shaped crystal glows with a venomous yellow light, offering a transformation into something powerful, revealing, and utterly dark.
