THE DREAM OF THE BURNING THRONE

Blythe's POV

The knock came again.

Harder this time.

My fingers tightened on the edge of the door as I whispered, "Aria…?"

Her voice coiled in my mind. "Be ready."

I cracked the door open—just a hair.

Captain Thorne stood there, his face carved from stone, cloak damp from the night.

"My Lady," he said quietly. "A word."

I stepped into the hall, pulling my robe tighter. "At this hour?"

Thorne's eyes flicked up and down the corridor. "Tracks, my lady. Near the Queen's retreat. Fresh. Not ours."

My stomach coiled.

"Did you tell Elder Moses?" I asked.

A flicker of hesitation. "Not yet."

I exhaled. "Thank you."

As I turned to retreat into my chambers, Thorne's voice stopped me.

"My Lady…"

I looked back.

His gaze softened just a fraction. "Be careful."

I closed the door slowly, the latch cl

    THE SKY BURIALThe Fire-Cliff Ridge | Border of Red Court TerritoryThe sky had been silent for hours. Not a bird. Not a wind. Even the clouds had stopped moving, like the heavens held their breath.Lena crouched at the edge of the cliff, her cloak tattered and soot-streaked, her eyes fixed on the obsidian tower in the distance—the last spell forge of the Red Court."Are you sure you want to do this alone?" asked Thorne, his voice gravelly behind her. His armor bore the burns of the last battle, and his left eye was still bloodshot from a spell that had nearly turned his mind inside out.Lena didn't loo

    THE BROKEN OATHSThe Flameguard Barracks, Flamewatch CitadelThe clang of steel against stone rang through the lower halls. Not in training—no drills echoed now. The sound was fractured, raw. A table overturned, a helm thrown in fury. Honor was no longer uniform.Captain Emeric slammed his fist against the oak war-map. "You heard what the flames said. You saw the wall. She's not a child anymore. She's a reckoning.""You're speaking treason," Lieutenant Halden snapped. "She's the Queen's blood. We swore oaths, Emeric. You don't get to unmake them because a little fire scared you."Emeric's jaw clenched.

    THE MESSAGE FROM THE CHILDThe Temple of the Ember VeilThe embers in the sacred braziers flickered with unease. The once-glowing sigils on the walls now pulsed erratically, as if the stones themselves were holding their breath. Inside the Flameblood sanctum, the air crackled—not just with heat, but with something older, deeper, and far more terrifying.Ceres strolled into the inner sanctum, her hand hovering over her abdomen, where life stirred in time with her heartbeat. Maera trailed behind her, her staff glowing faintly as if it too could sense the unnatural shifts in the ether."It's changing," Maera whispered. "The flame language is no longer reacting to i

    The Bone ThroneThe Summit of Shattered SpireThe sky hung low with churning clouds as Arion stood before the Bone Throne, its skeletal arms stretching toward him as if it had been waiting.Saphros came up the incline behind him, breath shallow, robes dragging ash. "So it's true. You actually found it."Arion didn't turn. "It wasn't lost. Just buried under the guilt of men who called themselves kings."Saphros frowned. "That throne was cursed long before you were born.""Was I born?" Arion asked softly.

    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?"

    THE WHISPERED BETRAYALThe Council DividedTension 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
