BETWEEN FIRE AND HEART

The scent of smoke still lingered, thick as grief, heavy as ash. The Flame Temple’s upper terrace had become a makeshift infirmary, its white stones stained with soot and blood.

Ceres knelt beside a wounded boy no older than ten, her hands glowing faintly as she pressed her palms to his broken ribs. Each breath she took threatened to unravel her. But she couldn’t stop.

Her flame had changed.

Where once it obeyed, now it surged, flickering violently with every life she tried to save. It responded to something deeper than intention. Something alive inside her—and inside the child growing within.

The boy gasped, then coughed, and the color returned to his cheeks. Ceres exhaled, shaking.

"That's the fifth one in less than an hour," Maera said lowly as she pressed a cloth to another patient’s wound. "Your flame... it’s stronger. But wild."

Ceres wiped her forehead with the back of her hand, trembling. "It’s not just mine anymore."

    THE TRIAL OF WOLVESThe Square of Oaths—Midmorning[Crowds pack the stone terraces surrounding the city’s central square. Banners of the Flame Court hang torn in the breeze. A raised platform has been erected, guarded by Flameblood sentries and warded with sigils that shimmer faintly in the air. Three kneeling knights—bound, bloodied, and broken—wait beneath the weight of judgment.Xavier (voice ringing clear as he steps forward): "We are not here for vengeance. We are here for truth. For justice. And for the future of the Flameblood realm."Ceres (quietly, from behind the veil of council members): "This should be a reckoning, not a performance."Ma

    THE UMBRA CONVERTThe Cell Beneath the Pyre HallsA dimly lit stone chamber beneath the Pyre Halls. The walls are marked with ancient symbols, and chains hang unused from the ceiling. The flickering torchlight casts long shadows as Xavier, Ceres, and Maera enter the chamber. In the center, a pale woman sits shackled—her cloak threadbare, her hair loose, but her gaze sharp. She’s weakened, but not broken.Xavier (coldly): “You requested an audience. I’m listening.”Umbra Assassin (smiling faintly): “Not a request. A bargain.”Ceres (arms crossed, wary): “You&rsqu

    SMOKE BETWEEN USThe Cracking HallsThe war room beneath the ruined high chamber is now converted into a command center. Cracked pillars hold up sagging stonework. Torches burn low. Xavier stands over a tactical map riddled with flame markers. Ceres enters, her cloak trailing ash.Xavier (gruffly, without looking up): "He moved the Flame Knights again. Northeast border. He wants us to think he's circling, but Arion's going for the heart."Ceres (calmly): "He wants us to be afraid. But not every move is fire and swords. Sometimes power lies in restraint."Xavier (snapping): "Restraint? You think the bastard wh

    THE LEGACY FRACTURESThe Vote of ShadowsCouncil Hall, CapitalThe Provisional Council sits in a circle of obsidian thrones in the ruined High Temple hall, scorched and hastily reconstructed. Cracks line the marble floor like a map of division. Rain pounds the skylights, but inside, the air is thick with dread.Councilman Tarek (rubbing his temple):"We've received Arion's latest decree. He offers peace... if we disband the Flame Line entirely and crown him by bloodright."Councilwoman Maldra (dryly):"And if we don't?"

    THREE FLAMES, ONE GRAVEArrival at AshgraveA veil of volcanic ash rains gently as Xavier, Ceres, and Maera approach the ancient caldera known as Ashgrave. The landscape is scorched black and red, steaming in places. Jagged peaks encircle the bowl of the grave like broken teeth. Fire dances below the obsidian floor—alive, whispering.Maera (holding her hood against the heat):“Even the wind here burns with memory. This is where they laid the first Flamebloods. And where some say the flame itself first bled.”Xavier (scanning the ash-covered terrain):&ldquo
