Elixir’s POV

And Ewen

He just watched

Not with blame

But with a stillness that scared me more than anger

    Elixir’s POVThe raven dissolved into ash before my eyesBut the scroll in my hand remainedLight as paperHeavy as prophecyShe has not been buried. She has been crowned.It wasn’t a threatIt was a declarationAnd it didn’t come from VirexIt came from herThe one behind the veilThe one who hadn’t died in grief, or broken in silenceThe one who didn’t choose mercy when she was madeLucian stared at the scroll, jaw clenched so tight I thought his teeth might crackSoren stood at my side, fingers twitching against the hilt of a blade carved from bone—not out of fear, but preparationEwen said nothingBut his eyes had narrowed the moment the raven appeared, like he’d known something we hadn’tAnd now the knowing had arrivedI walked back toward the altar, running my thumb along the scar burned into the stone“Not all reflections want to be healed,” I said. “Some are made to punish.”Lucian stepped beside me. “Is she another fragment?”I shook my head. “No. She’s a possibility. One I n

    Elixir’s POVShe looked like me, but thinnerLike the world had starved her of belief for too longHer smile wasn’t cruelIt was calmLike she’d been waiting for this moment since I was bornSince I first chose to silence the part of myself that didn’t fit prophecy, power, or flameShe stepped from the circle barefoot, shoulders squared as if she still carried chainsI didn’t moveNeither did the AlphasLucian’s hand twitched near his bladeSoren’s fingers hovered over a protective runeEwen’s eyes burned with unreadable knowledgeNone of them knew what I’d just pulled into this worldNeither did IBut she wasn’t a demonShe was something far worseShe was true---“You left me in the silence,” she said, her voice quieter than mine, older somehow. “And now you wonder why I sound like regret.”My chest ached. “I buried you because you were breaking me.”She stepped closer, shadows folding around her like silk. “No. You buried me because I remembered what it cost to live. You didn’t wan

    Elixir’s POVThe silence after war always feels heavier than the war itselfBecause it’s in the silence that grief becomes realIt’s where names echo without answersWhere you remember who didn’t survive, and who came back... wrongThe Grove still stoodBarelyTrees scorched, soil trembling beneath our feet, the scent of ash and old gods thick in the windBut we were aliveThe Alphas beside meThe rogue packs behind meThe veil no longer howlingBut watchingAlways watchingSoren was the first to speak after hours of eerie stillness“We won,” he said softly, not with pride but caution. “But it wasn’t a victory.”Lucian cleaned his blade beside the shrine, quiet, blood staining the wraps around his forearmEwen hadn’t spoken since the battle endedHe just stood beside the ruined altar, eyes locked on the sky like it might fall if he blinkedThey each carried their own acheNot of bodyOf spiritI did tooBecause something inside me still buzzedNot with powerWith absenceLike the thin

    Elixir’s POVShe screamed without lungsThe creature that stepped out of Elixur wasn’t flesh—it was intent, twisted into formHer body fell limp as the thing rose, dragging its claws along the ground like it was carving the world’s obituary into the dirtNot VirexBut his answer to meAn entity not shaped by fire, void, or memoryBut by the hollow space betweenLucian’s blade shimmered with runes, but he hesitatedSoren’s wards sparked around us, unstable under the weight of that thing’s presenceEwen whispered something in an ancient tongue, his fingers glowing silver as he reached for me“I’m still here,” I said, louder than I feltThe creature turned its face toward me—no features, just a ripple of my outline, inverted and corruptedMy shape without my soul“I am your correction,” it hissed“No,” I said. “You are their failure.”It struck without soundWind shattered against the shield Soren threw in front of me, the ground exploding with invisible forceLucian met it blade-first,

    Elixir’s POVThe veil didn’t just tear—it howledIt buckled with soundless rage, a fury that shook the bones of the earth and bent the trees at the edge of Redwood Grove until they splinteredVirex had stepped throughBut not aloneHis presence didn’t come like a god descending from the heavensIt spread like infectionLike a long-forgotten sickness remembering what flesh felt likeI stood in the heart of the broken altar, flame pulsing from the new sigil along my spineLucian at my leftSoren to my rightEwen just behind, eyes glowing like carved steelWe didn’t need wordsBecause this was no longer about prophecyThis was warAnd it had found usThe first wave hit before we even regroupedThe sky above Redwood Grove split, letting down a storm not of water, but of spiritsTwisted forms of wolves once fallen—echoes raised from old battlefields, wrapped in divine residue and something darkerScreaming, snarling, hollowI raised my hands and called fire, violet and silver igniting the

    Elixir’s POVThe moment I said we would burn the illusion, I felt the weight of it settle on my shoulders—not fear, not doubtPurposeAnd purpose doesn’t trembleIt just waits for actionThe alliance didn’t cheer. They didn’t raise fists or howl. They just noddedBecause they understood nowThis was no longer about gods or curses or chosen onesThis was about truthAnd whether it would be remembered or rewrittenSoren followed me into the old stone temple at the edge of the camp, where we kept the oldest maps and the unclaimed blades of fallen warriorsHe lit six warding candles, drawing sigils into the dust with fingers that shook only when he thought I wasn’t watching“You don’t think we can stop them,” I said quietlyHe hesitated“No,” he admitted. “I think we’re already inside their story.
