Alafia's Pov

I stood frozen, the echoes of Alastor's departure lingering in my mind. The portal's remnants dissipated, leaving behind an unsettling feeling.

As I turned to return to bed, a faint whisper caressed my ear: "Alafia, beware the shadows."

I spun around, but the room was empty. The whisper seemed to come from all around me, echoing off the walls.

Suddenly, the lights flickered, and the air grew thick with an eerie presence. I sensed dark energies stirring, responding to Alastor's departure.

A chill crept up my spine as I realized I was no longer alone. Shadows coalesced into figures, their presence filling the room.

"Who's there?" I demanded, trying to keep my voice steady.

The figures remained silent, their eyes glowing with malevolent intent.

I backed away, my heart racing, as the shadows closed in.
