You have no choice to make, Sama Arthur," Alex Henry's voice was one of deadly, triumphant certainty. "The Council have watched. They have waited. And they have reached their own conclusion.".She proffered the small, gemstone-encrusted box, and the high, emerald green light inside it pulsed with an energy of its own. Sama Arthur's hand on her belly sensed the opposing wills of her twins falter back, their own internal conflict arrested for one moment of raw terror. The light within the box was alive, lethal, a specific antidote to her mathematically impossible situation.This is the Firstborn's gift," Alex Henry continued, her gaze icy with satisfaction. "This is the device that will bind the two of them. It will kill one and save the other. It will decide for you. And it will ensure the Firstborn… will never again be a threat to the Alpha lines.".Paul Wason, horrified face contorted with disgust, recoiled. "Alex Henry, no! You can't do this! This is an instrument of the highest order!

    "The silence is thicker than the stone," Dickson told him, his own voice a low gravelly whisper. "I've never lost so many of us to one attack. Not even against Dean Wason's troops."Sama Arthur did not speak. She simply held Leiran closer, the child's tiny, beating heart the only thing of stability in the world. Their return to camp was a procession of grief. Half a crew had ventured into the Heart of the Moon; less than a third had emerged. The survivors' faces were a grim mixture of exhaustion, loss, and a burning rage."We were not supposed to have trusted him," Gloria told herself, her eyes tracking the figure of Dean Wason down in the distance, walking alone towards the edge of the plateau's cliff, his head bowed. "We were idiots. We should have known better.""His men fell too, Gloria," Theo said quietly, his own arm still bandaged from a magical wound. "Timothy. Tobby. gone. And Paul Wason. gone. The price was paid on both sides.""The price was paid for a child who is to be th

    "The Heart of the Moon is a crossroads, an intersection of planetary ley lines," Sama Arthur explained, her words slicing with precision as she read the glimmering patterns on the shattered ground. "It's not a refuge; it's an altar, a living one. The witches are going to burn Leiran there, to fulfill the 'World Ender' prophecy."Dean Wason knelt at her side, his gaze following the complex web of energies that Sama was spinning. The blood-trail magic, which he had crafted using a sliver of witch bone and some of his own blood, pulsed softly on the ground, leading the way. "And they believe that by doing this, they're going to cleanse the world, huh? Their idiotic idea of a reset button.""Right," Sama Arthur confirmed, her teeth grinding. "They don't think of Leiran as a child. They think of them as an instrument, a spark for mere destruction, to 'end all thrones' as they say in their prophecies. Ours too.""So they're not just trying to usurp; they're trying to destroy everything," Al

    "The song is gone," Dean Wason grumbled, his voice low, gravelly. "I don't feel it. I don't hear Leiran."His men stood around him in a wordless, grim circle. Paul Wason knelt beside him, his hand on the shoulder of his brother. "Dean, what does it mean? What occurred?""It means they're gone," Dean Wason replied, his eyes now on the ground, a terrible, icy conviction spreading through him. "None of us. They've been abducted. And whoever abducted them. they've shut out the light." He sprang to his feet, a new man, not born of hope, but of a new, all-consuming purpose. "I don't know who they are, but I know what they've done. They lopped Leiran free of the earth, of their stock. They've buried her in some darkness.""How do you know that?" asked Timothy in disbelief. "From where we stand, all we can see is the same empty sky.""Because I heard it," Dean Wason said, his gaze sweeping over his team. "I heard Leiran's power song. It wasn't something you could touch, it was sound, it was a

    "Your efforts are futile, Sama Arthur!" the senior witch of the Sisterhood of the Ending Moon wailed, her voice a nails-on-chalkboard scream that vibrated the air. "The cycle of the moon is unbreakable, and its completion shall not be postponed by a mortal protector!"Sama Arthur locked her jaw, her entire body a rigid conduit of earth power. The ground under her shone, a barrier of sheer power opposing the titanic, suffocating weight of the coven's magic. The wind tore with conflicting powers—Sama's comforting, protecting aura clashing brutally with the coven's icy, evil will. The sharp point of her crystal sword trembled, quivering with bottled potential, but it was helpless in the face of the invisible barriers of force that the witches had erected."Go, Gloria! Rose!" she shouted over the racket, her voice cracking with strain. "Don't stop!"Gloria and Rose, Leiran clutched tightly in Rose's arms, fought towards the rock crevice. The small one's terrified wails were now a low, whe

    "They're not 'gone,' Sama," Dickson's voice was cut, cutting through the frigid, thread-thin air of the plateau. "Dean Wason will be back. And he won't be 'broken' again. He just learned his very existence puts the child at risk. That'll spawn a new kind of fixation."Sama Arthur pulled Leiran close, her gaze distant, fixed on the churning mists now shrouding the chasm. "He will be back, yes. But his purpose has shifted. He is no longer interested in reclamation; he is interested in control. And that is more sinister in a different way.""We need to make this spot secure," Crayons Arthur announced, already looking at the natural rock outcroppings with a strategic eye. "The uplift worked, but it's not ideal. Anybody with a good amount of creativity and gear can figure out how to climb up here.""And if Dean Wason's 'broken' state reveals new secrets regarding Leiran's power, then he might learn that ingenuity before we anticipate," Theo went on, his brow furrowed in thought. "His son,

    "You can't be serious, Sama," the voice of Dickson snarled out across the broad, wind-polished plateau. "He's coming. We've detected a faint energy reading, a kind of resonance, along the line of the blown rock. It's him."Sama Arthur knelt down, tracing the fine, glittering lines on Leiran's tiny hand. The child slept peacefully still, their breathing a soft, monotonous whine that seemed to harmonize with the air itself. "I know. I'm letting him."Crayons Arthur stepped forward, his face a visage of incredulity. "Granting him? All he's done? All he's going to do? He means to equip Leiran, Sama. He said so himself.""He said to me that he wishes to redeem Leiran from our tainted perception of the future," Sama Arthur corrected, her eyes on the child. "And a glimpse of Leiran has brought him low. It is no clever adversary we are dealing with now. It is a broken man, a father who desires to know his son's blood. He is coming not with soldiers, but with questions.""A broken man is a dan
