Swept away by a violent river and the weight of his own guilt, Beornwulf faces his greatest test yet—not of strength, but of will. Chasing the Light plunges listeners into a harrowing journey of survival, redemption, and rebirth as Beornwulf battles the current, the looming waterfall ahead, and the echo of his father's haunting expectations.

Just when all hope seems lost, the sudden appearance of Eva and a handful of surviving comrades sets Beornwulf on a new mission: reclaim the raft, regroup, and escape the deadly waters. But reaching safety is only the beginning. Back at camp, the team is met not with glory, but a sobering reckoning. Their victory has come at a cost—fifteen lives lost on the river, and the shadow of internal betrayal still lingering.

Amid laughter, firelight, and a rare moment of peace, Beornwulf begins to rebuild what was broken. Bonds deepen, truths are shared, and in a quiet conversation beneath the stars, he discovers that the fiercest warriors carry more than swords—they carry grief, purpose, and impossible hope.

Chasing the Light is a powerful chapter about confronting the past, embracing imperfect allies, and finding meaning beyond mere survival. As friendships take root and rivalries simmer, Beornwulf must ask himself: can he become more than what the academy demands—and is there something, or someone, worth fighting for in the world beyond the war?
