CERES BREAKS IN

The Waiting

Ceres pressed her back to the wall behind the tapestry, breathing shallowly. The soft rattle of guard boots echoed down the marble corridor.

"Fifteen to the left," she whispered, peeking around the folds of the cloth. "Fifteen to the right… and pause."

She gripped the bronze key in her fist. It felt heavier tonight.

"I shouldn't be doing this."

She glanced at the Queen's door—ornate, intimidating, carved with wolves in mid-howl and thorns that twined like veins.

    CERES’S GAME BEGINSA Question Left UnansweredThe sitting room smelled of roses and cinnamon bread. Morning light filtered through stained glass windows, painting the floor in soft hues of crimson and violet. Blythe sat in her favorite carved chair, legs crossed, sipping tea with the calm precision of someone who needed calm more than caffeine.Ceres sat across from her, nibbling on a honeyed biscuit, watching. Not the room. Not the window. Her mother.“You’ve been quieter lately,” Blythe said, not looking up.“Have I?” Ceres asked, lifting her cup.&nb

    THE BLOOD MAPArrival at the Forgotten FortThe wind howled between the cliffs like a hungry beast. Xavier's cloak, stiff with frost, whipped behind him as he trudged through the narrow gorge. Snowflakes swirled in the air, catching in his lashes and clinging to his boots. His breath came in clouds, and each step echoed in the dead silence of the mountains.Ironstep, his horse, refused to go any further. The terrain had narrowed into uneven stone ridges lined with skeletal trees. The animal's ears were pinned back, and it snorted restlessly, hooves digging into the snow."Stay here," Xavier murmured, patting the steed's flank. "If I'm not back by nightfall… burn t

    THE KINGMAKER'S SMILEThe Uninvited GuestThe storm had passed, but the sky still hung heavy with bruised clouds. Inside her private study, Queen Blythe sat at her writing table, head bent over a scroll of outdated border treaties. Candles flickered on the edges of her desk, casting golden ripples over ink-stained maps, abandoned council drafts, and a half-drunk pot of tea that had gone cold hours ago.She barely noticed the knock.Soft. Polite. Too polite.She didn't answer.The door creaked open anyway.

    THE SILENT PATHMountain Crossing—The Path That Doesn't EchoThe path narrowed as Xavier climbed higher into the Emberwild's jagged throat. The morning air bit into his skin, and the mist that clung to the pines felt alive—watching.His horse, a black-coated gelding named Ironstep, snorted uneasily."We keep going," Xavier muttered, patting its flank. "I don't care what the trees said."The trail curled up a stone ridge, barely wide enough for one horse. Boulders jutted out like ribs, and frost crusted the branches above. His breath fogged in front of him, but no echo returned. Not even from the steady clop of

    THE RAVEN WATCHESXavier on the RoadThe forest whispered like it was trying to warn him.Xavier's horse moved through the fog-slicked trail with careful steps, hooves muffled by the damp moss covering the ground. Trees loomed on either side, their bare branches clawing at the sky. He adjusted his cloak and reached for the compass beneath his tunic."Off track by half a mile," he muttered, nudging the horse gently.The wind stirred.And then he saw it.A shadow in the sky.

    LAST GOODBYE?The Secret Passage“You shouldn’t be here.”Xavier froze in the archway, his breath fogging in the cold. The candle on the desk flickered as Blythe rose from her chair, her voice low but sharp.“I know,” he said.She didn’t move. “If someone sees you…”“They won’t.” He stepped into the room, the shadows closing behind him like a curtain. “I used the passage behind the old chapel. No one patrols there anymore.”
