“Alessia, you’re shaking.” Kael said it the moment he opened his eyes.

Alessia froze beside his bed, the rolled parchment of the prophecy slipping from her fingers and hitting the floor with a soft thud. She hadn’t expected him to wake yet—not so soon, not after the wounds, not after the near-death collapse but there he was.

Propped weakly against pillows. Mask cracked and bandaged and still covered his upper face. Dark hair messy across the blankets. Skin pale from blood loss. Breath shallow—

    “If you faint again, I’m carrying you.” Kael’s voice echoed down the Solaris hallway as Alessia stepped out of the atrium. The marble beneath her boots shimmered with faint sunlight, and the air was charged with the soft hum of luminous currents adjusting to her new authority.Alessia didn’t slow. “I’m not fainting.”“You fainted last time.”“I collapsed. That’s different.”“No,” Kael said flatly, falling into step beside her, “it isn’t.”Ianthe jogged after them, twirling a dagger. “Kael, you’re loud.”“He’s worried,” Seraphine whispered, hugging her pastry bag.Eryx nodded. “He’s always loud when he’s worried.”“I’m not—” Kael began. Alessia shot him a look. He shut up instantly.Selene walked leisurely behind them, golden eyes sparkling with wicked amusement. “I enjoy that you command him without words.”Kael snapped over his shoulder, “I don’t obey—”“Yes, you do,” Selene said. “Beautifully, in fact.”Rian’s voice cracked. “C-can everyone stop provoking him before he snaps and sha

    “Land us closer to the atrium." Kael glanced sideways at Alessia from the pilot seat. “You want to skip the palace gates?”“Yes.”He adjusted the controls. “Direct drop at the Primals’ doorstep. Subtle.”Selene, lounging in the back of the transport with her arms folded behind her head, smiled. “Oh, I like this version of you—efficient, rude, and regal.”“Quiet,” Kael snapped.Rian, still strapped in and pale, peeked over the edge of his seat. “W-won’t we get in trouble? There are protocols, right? Formal landing procedures—”“Protocols can complain later,” Alessia said.Seraphine hugged her pastry bag. “I’m scared but also excited and hungry.”Ianthe kicked her feet up on the opposite seat. “At least we won’t have to walk through ten kilometers of corridors first.”Eryx checked his armor straps. “Less time for nobles to surround us, more time to deal with the real problem.”Kade, slumped beside Eryx, eyes still ringed with exhaustion, managed a faint smile. “I approve of skipping nob

    “She’s waking.” Kael’s voice was low and rough, as if he hadn’t spoken in hours. Alessia blinked slowly, her vision swimming in blurred streaks of gold and shadow. The world felt softer than the battlefield, quieter, warmer.She shifted slightly, realizing she was lying in someone’s arms.Kael’s arms.Her head rested against his chest, his heartbeat loud and frantic beneath her ear. His shadows curled protectively around them like living armor.Alessia breathed in slowly. “Kael?”His head lowered immediately, his forehead almost touching hers. “Alessia, stay still. You passed out for too long.”“How long?” she murmured.His jaw clenched. “Too long.”Ianthe’s voice echoed nearby. “She means in actual numbers, Kael, not in your overprotective nonsense.”Eryx added, “Thirty minutes. Maybe a little more. You’ve been unconscious since the collapse.”Seraphine sniffled loudly from somewhere to the left. “I—I made pastries while we waited. Emergency pastries.”Rian added, “I think I blacked

    “HOLD THE LINE!” Kael’s roar rattled the battlefield as the Rift trembled violently, reacting to whatever Alessia and Kade were doing inside its spiraling abyss.The ground shook so violently that cracked stone ripped upwards. Corrupted creatures clawed at the reinforced barrier of shadow and golden flame while Selene and Kael struggled to keep the defenses intact.Ianthe slashed through another monstrous serpent. “KAEL! The Rift—it’s shaking harder!”Eryx braced his blade as a towering beast crashed into him. “Something’s happening in there—something big!”Rian clutched his glowing satchel. “WE’RE ALL GOING TO DIE—”“Stop predicting things!” Seraphine cried, flinging a healing burst at Kael’s back as he tore a creature apart. “We’re not dying!”Selene spread her arms wide, golden runes spiraling around her wrists. “Alessia is forcing the gate. This is the reaction.”“What reaction?!” Kael shouted.Selene grinned. “The gate is collapsing.”Inside the Rift, the dimensional abyss scream

    “ALESSIA!” Kael’s scream tore across the battlefield the moment her silhouette disappeared into the rift, swallowed by the spiraling vortex of black and silver light. He lunged forward—shadows erupting in a violent surge—but a barrier slammed up in front of him. His own shadows.Alessia’s command lingered in them. They refused to let him cross.Kael punched the barrier, shadows cracking under the weight of his desperation. “Let me through! LET ME THROUGH!”“KAEL!” Ianthe shouted, grabbing his shoulders, trying to anchor him. “Stop! You’ll die if you go in there!”“I DON’T CARE!”Selene stepped in front of him, unfazed by his fury. “Shadow Knight, if you cross the threshold right now, you’ll tear your soul apart.”“GOOD,” Kael snarled. “Then I’ll tear it apart fighting for her.”Selene’s gold eyes hardened. “She didn’t order you to die for her.”Kael froze, breathing ragged, chest heaving.Selene lowered her voice, sharp and cold. “She ordered you to hold the line.”His shadows faltere

    “Form up! NOW!” Kael’s voice cut through the frenzy the instant the transport slammed into the corrupted soil. The doors burst open with a metallic shriek—and everything outside was chaos.The ground shook beneath them as shadow-beasts tore across the battlefield—some crawling, some flying, some distorted into unnatural shapes by the Architect’s corruption. Bodies of fallen Noctis soldiers lay scattered along cracked stone. The sky above was a roiling bruise of lightning and luminous fractures.And at the center of everything, the Rift of Aetherfall pulsed with dark light.Alessia stepped out first. Her boots hit the blackened earth. Her cloak snapped behind her in the storm winds. Dual luminous pulses around her like a steady heartbeat.Kael landed beside her immediately, shadow curling around his limbs like smoke ready to strike. “Creatures incoming, right flank.”“I see them,” Alessia answered.Eryx leapt from the ramp next, planting himself in front of Seraphine and Rian. “Stay be
