HIS BROTHER

ARIA

My stomach dropped.

“What does that mean?” my father barked.

The man ignored him.

“I told them it was a mistake,” he continued, eyes never leaving mine. “I told them Velden wouldn’t move tonight.”

A ripple of unease ran through me.

“I don’t know you,” I said firmly.

“No,” he agreed. “But he does.”

My father’s gaze sharpened. “Who sent you?”

The man laughed quietly.

“You think this is about sending?” He tilted his head. “This is about betrayal.”

Nico.

My pulse quickened.

    112HER SIDE OF THE STORYARIAI forgot how to breathe.Every part of me became still as the woman on the screen smiled with a warmth that reached her eyes. It wasn't merely her face that convinced me.It was the little things.The way she tucked a loose strand of dark hair behind her ear before speaking.The slight tilt of her head.The quiet kindness in her expression.These weren't details someone could easily imitate.This was her.Not alive.Not standing before me.But preserved in a recording my grandfather had made decades earlier."My beautiful granddaughter," she repeated, her voice as gentle as spring rain. "If you're watching this, then you've become a woman before I had the privilege of seeing you grow into one."My vision blurred again."I wish I could tell you this in person," she continued. "I wish I could hold your hands and tell you how proud I already am of you. But life rarely grants us every wish."I pressed my lips together to keep from crying aloud.Marcus remain

    111A NEGLECTED PLACEARIANothing had gathered dust.Nothing had decayed.Every book remained perfectly arranged.Every chair stood exactly where someone had left it.As though my grandfather had walked out only yesterday.Near the center of the chamber stood a large oak desk.Upon it rested a single object.An old-fashioned film projector.Beside it lay a neatly labeled metal reel.A handwritten note sat underneath.For Aria.My throat tightened.Another message.Another parting gift.Marcus carefully examined the room."No traps."Sebastian smiled sadly."Aleksander never trusted traps.""What did he trust?""You."I looked at him."But he never even knew the woman I'd become."Sebastian's eyes softened."He knew the little girl who cried because she found a wounded bird."The memory struck me instantly.I couldn't have been older than seven.I'd spent an entire afternoon trying to save a tiny sparrow with a broken wing.My grandfather had sat beside me for hours.Not speaking.Sim

    110THE FINAL CHOICE ARIAI looked at the white marble door.Then at the coin.Then back at Marcus."If I open this..."My voice trembled."...everything changes."He nodded once."I know.""And if I don't...""Everything still changes."A faint smile tugged at the corner of my mouth."You're terrible at making decisions easier.""I wasn't trying to."Despite everything, I laughed softly.The sound echoed through the corridor.Then...The female voice returned.Not from behind the door this time.From all around us."Your grandfather always said..."The words drifted gently through the marble hallway."...that courage isn't opening every door."My heart pounded."It's knowing which ones should remain closed."Sebastian closed his eyes.A tear rolled slowly down his weathered cheek."I remember that."I looked at him in surprise."You've heard this before?""No."His voice broke."I heard him say those exact words... forty years ago."The realization hit me immediately.This wasn't my

    109SILENT DOORARIABehind me, Marcus called my name."Aria?"I didn't answer.I couldn't.My attention remained fixed on the silent door before me.The corridor had become unnaturally still.Even the distant sounds of men moving through the underground city seemed to disappear.Then the voice came again.Gentle.Patient."You've grown."Every hair on my arms stood on end.Marcus hurried down the corridor toward me, stopping several feet away."What happened?"Slowly, I turned to face him."I heard someone."His eyes narrowed."Who?"I swallowed."My grandmother."Marcus stared at me for several seconds before looking toward the sealed chamber."You sure?""No."That was the truth."I don't know what I heard."Sebastian entered the corridor behind Marcus.His face had become unusually pale."What did the voice say?"I looked at him."You expected this."It wasn't a question.He lowered his eyes."I hoped it wouldn't happen.""What does that mean?"Instead of answering immediately, Se

    108THE VOICEARIASebastian interrupted my thoughts."There is something else you should know.""What?""The Final Chamber doesn't open with the coin."I instinctively touched the Markovic coin in my pocket."It doesn't?"He shook his head."The coin only proves your identity.""Then what opens it?"Sebastian looked directly at the letter still clutched in my hand."Your choice."I frowned."I don't understand.""You will."That answer frustrated me more than it should have.Everyone around me seemed to possess pieces of the truth while I remained trapped in the middle.Marcus noticed."They've all spent years living with these secrets."He lowered his voice."You've had a few days."His words grounded me.He was right.I couldn't expect myself to understand a lifetime of hidden history overnight.A deep metallic rumble echoed through the corridor.The glowing lines along the walls pulsed once.Then again.Sebastian's expression sharpened."It's waiting.""The chamber?""Yes."He ste

    107THE FINAL CHAMBERARIAA folded document slipped from between the last pages and drifted onto the floor.It landed face up.Every person in the cavern could read the title.SUCCESSOR DESIGNATIONMy name...Aria Elena Markovic...was written across the top in my grandfather's unmistakable handwriting.And beneath it, already signed years before his death, was a sentence that made every heartbeat in the cavern seem to stop."If my granddaughter reaches this place, she alone has the authority to open the Final Chamber."***The words on the document blurred before my eyes.I blinked once.Twice.But they remained exactly the same.If my granddaughter reaches this place, she alone has the authority to open the Final Chamber.No one spoke.The silence pressing down on the underground city was so complete that I could hear the quiet flutter of the document where it rested against the stone floor.Marcus bent down first.Slowly.Carefully.He picked up the page and read every line withou
