The Council Divided
Tension crackled like dry kindling in the grand chamber of the Flame Council. Tall windows framed the night beyond—velvet black but flickering faintly with red glows from distant fires. War had become routine, but tonight's meeting was anything but.
Ceres stood at the head of the table, fingers curled tightly around a scroll bearing fresh intelligence from the Emberdeep scouts. Her eyes scanned the room, each councilmember's face illuminated by the shifting candlelight. Beside her, Xavier remained silent, his body taut with stillness. Maera leaned against the far wall, eyes narrowed.
"We've lost contact with the Emberdeep perimeter," Ceres announced. "T

THE EMBER TRIALThe air inside the Emberstone mines shimmered with heat and history. Beneath the jagged teeth of Mount Caldrith, the sacred tunnels twisted deep into the earth, pulsing with residual Alpha flame. Red veins of dormant Emberstone pulsed faintly beneath the rock, glowing like the slowed heartbeat of something ancient and barely breathing.Xavier's boots echoed against the stone floor as he moved ahead, lantern raised. His other hand hovered over the hilt of his blade, fingers twitching. The silence was wrong. No miners. No Flameguard. No echo of wind. Only the slow, suffocating press of heat."They were here," he muttered, narrowing his eyes. "This shaft was guarded—where are the soldiers?"

ARION'S CHILDHOODThe Prisoner's ShadowThe dim chamber beneath the Flame Court was quieter than usual. Kaelenna sat cross-legged, her hands pressed protectively over the curve of her belly. Torchlight danced along the walls, but the silence between the flames made the room feel colder than fire ever could.Ceres entered first, followed by Maera and Xavier. The former assassin raised her head slowly, eyes flicking toward the approaching trio with a war-worn calm."You're early," she said. "Or maybe I've just been waiting too long."Ceres folded her arms. "You said you had more to tell us. Something about Arion."

THE QUEEN'S FINAL DECREEThe Palace of SilenceThe corridors of the Flame Citadel were too quiet. Even the fire didn't crackle. Maera stood in the doorway, her eyes downcast. "She's asking for you."Ceres rose without speaking, hands trembling at her sides. She'd known this moment was coming—had felt the Queen's strength ebbing like a tide receding from the shore. Still, she wasn't ready.The Queen of Flame lay in her private sanctum, no longer cloaked in golden armor or surrounded by counsel or guards. Just silk sheets, flickering torches, and a silence hummed like fate.

PHOENIX UNBOUNDThe First BlazeDust curled over the red hills of Kaemor Province, where Flame Guard and Umbra defectors clashed in chaos. Screams of wolves filled the air, many too lost in Arion's madness to realize they no longer fought for themselves.Then, a single cry rang out from the ridge above the battlefield."Unchain the fire!"Ceres gasped from the scrying mirror as new figures emerged—warriors cloaked in ash-colored armor streaked with gold. Their eyes glowed ember-red, but their movements were untouched by the erratic burn of Umbra possession. At their lead stood Lena.

BLOODLESS CROWNThe Broadcast That Broke the RealmCeres stood on the war room balcony, her eyes fixed on the strange glow building on the horizon. A shimmer of unnatural red light pulsed in the sky like a second sun, dark and wrong.Xavier entered beside her, tightening his grip on the message scroll. “It’s not just light. He’s broadcasting.”Ceres turned, tense. “To who?”“To everyone.”Within moments, every central Flame tower acr
