Aurenya’s POVThe room stayed quiet long after Kaelor finished speaking.Too quiet.The fire crackled softly in the corner, but even that sounded distant now.The night you were sealed.Those words kept replaying in my head like something unfinished.I sat near the edge of the bed, fingers curled tightly into the blanket beneath me.My father.The seal.The thing inside me.None of it fit together the way I wanted it to.Because if my father had done this…Then it meant he knew.He knew something was wrong with me long before I ever did.And he never told me.Rhydan leaned against the wall near the window, arms crossed tightly over his chest.He hadn’t spoken much since Kaelor explained what they remembered.Which wasn’t much.Only fragments.Only pieces.Draven stood near the fireplace, expression unreadable as always.Kaelor stayed closest to me.Not touching.Just there.Like he thought I might disappear if he looked away.I hated that feeling.Being watched.Being fragile.“I stil

Aurenya’s POVThe glow under my skin didn’t disappear.It stayed.Soft.Unsteady.Like a heartbeat that didn’t belong to me.No one moved.Even Rhydan’s grip on my arm loosened slightly—not because he trusted what was happening, but because he didn’t know what to do with it.The darkness around us felt thicker now.Not empty.Occupied.I could still hear breathing.Mine.Theirs.And something else.Slow.Measured.Close.Kaelor’s voice came first. Low. Controlled.“Aurenya, look at me.”I tried.But my body wouldn’t listen fully.My eyes stayed fixed ahead.On nothing.On everything.Because I could feel it standing there.I still couldn’t see it.But I knew exactly where it was.The pull inside my chest tightened.Not painful.Just stronger.Like a thread wrapping tighter around bone.“Aurenya.”Rhydan’s voice this time.Closer.Sharper.I blinked slowly.The darkness shifted again.And then—the lights flickered back on.Dim.Weak.But enough.The hallway returned around us.Wooden

Aurenya’s POVThey didn’t come again.That was the worst part.Not silence.Control.Like whatever made it had decided we were already aware.Rhydan moved first. “We’re leaving. Now.”Kaelor didn’t argue this time. He was already at the door, checking outside through the crack before pushing it wider.Draven stayed where he was.Watching me.Not the others.Me.I hated that more than anything.“I can walk,” I said quietly, pushing myself up.My legs didn’t fully agree at first.Rhydan reached out instinctively. “Don’t push yourself—”“I said I can walk.”He stopped.Not because I sounded strong.Because I didn’t.And that was exactly why I had to.The older man—the one who said he helped with the seal—stepped aside slightly as Kaelor motioned for us to move.His eyes stayed on me a second longer than comfortable.Like he was waiting for something to happen.Like he already knew it would.We moved out of the room fast.The house wasn’t small.It wasn’t warm either.Everything felt too

Aurenya’s POVThe silence after Draven’s last words didn’t fade.It stayed.Heavy. Pressing. Alive in a way silence shouldn’t be.I sat there, staring at nothing in particular, while everything inside me tried to reorganize itself around information I didn’t ask for.Incomplete.Sealed.Split.None of it felt real.And yet my body reacted like it was remembering something my mind refused to hold.Rhydan moved first, breaking the stillness.“We’re not doing the call tonight,” he said firmly.Kaelor exhaled slowly. “We don’t have control over that decision anymore.”Rhydan shot him a look. “We always have control.”Draven’s voice cut in, calm but final. “Not over this.”That shut the room down again.I hated how easily he did that.Like facts were weapons and he didn’t bother raising his voice to use them.I pushed myself up slightly, ignoring the dizziness that followed. “Stop talking like I’m not here.”All three of them looked at me at once.Good.I needed that.“I don’t care what yo

Aurenya’s POVThe moment Draven said it, the room shifted again.Not the air.Not the light.Something deeper—like the idea itself had weight.“…Calling it?” I repeated slowly.Rhydan’s expression tightened immediately. “No.”Kaelor didn’t argue. That alone said enough.Draven didn’t look at either of them.His eyes stayed on me.“It’s already responding without structure,” he said calmly. “That’s why she’s unstable.”“I’m not unstable,” I snapped.A pause.Then Kaelor said quietly, “You fainted mid-conversation and the bond pulled you into a state none of us could reach.”That shut me up for half a second.Rhydan stepped forward. “There has to be another way.”“There isn’t,” Draven replied.That was the problem with him.He never sounded like he was guessing.He sounded like he had already tested every wrong option.I swallowed slightly. “You keep saying ‘it’ like I’m not involved.”Draven finally shifted his gaze slightly.“You are involved,” he said. “That’s why calling it matters.

Aurenya’s POVI didn’t sleep again after that.Not properly.Every time I closed my eyes, it felt like something was waiting just behind them—patient, steady, like it knew I would eventually look inward again.So I stayed awake.Or tried to.The room was quieter now.Rhydan had left the edge of the bed at some point, moving to stand near the doorway instead. Kaelor hadn’t moved much at all—still by the window, still watching like he was waiting for something outside to become a problem.Draven was the only one who looked unchanged.Like nothing about this situation surprised him.Like he had already accepted the worst version of it.My fingers tightened slightly against the blanket.“…How long was I out?” I asked.Rhydan answered first. “A few hours.”That short?It didn’t feel like a few hours.It felt like I had been pulled out of time and dropped back in.I pushed myself up slowly, ignoring the mild dizziness this time.No one stopped me.That alone told me they were watching me di
