Shock rippled through his chest. A memory seized him—the young sylph girl cloaked in black, scarf drawn high. The girl whose life he’d saved. The girl whose heart he’d shattered with a single lie.
He stared at Arah, studying every detail of her face. His gaze lingered on her eyes—those same fierce blue eyes. All this time… how had he not seen it?
He also wondered why Ghulik hadn’t recognized her scent. Then it struck him that Ghulik and the sylph girl hadn’t shared the same space for long in the first place. And the first time they had, Arah had been kept inside a crate marked with a sigil that masked her scent. It was also possible that time and newfound power had altered her scent entirely.
Back at the Mad End’s Wall, Gildeon hadn’t cared about Arah’s past. From the moment he first laid eyes on her, she had only been the sigilmaker his army sought. She’d been the solution to their dwindling numbers.

MAD END'S DECEPTION 276 - The Way I See You
ARAHThey returned to the reception without saying a word to each other. It felt as though an invisible weight lingered in the space between them.Arah’s mind was spinning. So many thoughts, so many emotions, all tangled together. But one kept rising above the rest, refusing to let her go.Nick had died. And she had brought him back.Her subconscious had somehow guided her into making the Resurrection Sigil work. She could still feel the phantom sting of the sigil needle piercing her palm, each prick burning into her skin. But as soon as the sigil’s purpose was fulfilled, the mark vanished. Her body had healed over the wound completely, leaving no trace. Not even a smear of blood used as ink remained.Sweet music played softly in the background, a romantic melody lilting through the air. All eyes were on the bride and groom swaying in the center of the dance floor. Mabel’s smile was radiant, her cheeks glowing, and Arah could see t
MAD END'S DECEPTION 275 - Memories I've Regained
GILDEONHe ignited his dragon sight, and the mark flared in a brilliant blue glow. The true Resurrection Sigil—real, alive, working before his eyes. For a moment, he could hardly believe it.His gaze lifted to Arah. Determination and desperation etched her face. She hadn’t regained all her memories—he was sure of that—but something had returned. Enough to unlock this buried knowledge and wield her power again.He needed to know how much she remembered. The warrior in him urged caution. All he knew of her past was that she was a powerful sigilmaker.Which had turned out not to be a rumor at all. Arah had proven it on multiple occasions. Until now, he still couldn’t believe she had slain both Zylas in dragon form and Drusden.An ordinary sylph wouldn’t have been able to do that.So now, watching her true sigilmaking in action, he couldn’t help but wonder:What if Arah reverted t
MAD END'S DECEPTION 274 - It Was Araheen
ARAHThe world shifted around her. Suddenly, Arah found her hand clamped around Nick’s throat.A loud gasp tore from her lips as awareness slammed back into her. She released him instantly, stumbling backward just as his body crumpled to the ground with a heavy thud.Her whole body trembled. Her breaths were shallow.She could hear waves crashing from behind her and smelled the sharp, familiar scent of salt and sand. Dizzy and disoriented, she spun around, trying to place herself, and realized they were back at the shore near the wedding venue.Back in the present.Her eyes dropped to her feet, and her heart stopped.Nick lay sprawled across the sand, his body unnaturally still. His suit was sprinkled with grains of sand where he’d fallen, and his skin had already turned a pale shade. His eyes were closed, mouth slightly parted. There was no rise in his chest. No movement.No life.Arah dropped to her kn
MAD END'S DECEPTION 273 - Every Path Fails
ARAHShe saw Araheen standing at the crest of a hill, her gaze locked on the chaos unfolding below. Flames licked the edges of the camps, casting a flickering, sinister glow across the steppe surrounding the garrison. The night air pulsed with the thrum of magic and the heavy scent of scorched earth and churned soil.A few feet away, two eagles perched in silence. Their wings fluttered now and then, breaking the stillness with soft, sharp screeches. Their calm presence was a contrast to the violence echoing across the plains—clashing steel, whistling arrows, and the guttural roars of warriors locked in combat.Arah could feel it all. The spirit of the battle was seeping into her skin, winding through her chest, curling tightly around her gut.They were on a battlefield. The salamanders and sylphs were fighting.Araheen wasn’t here alone.A male sylph sat on a tree stump nearby, calmly polishing his longsword. His dark blue h
MAD END'S DECEPTION 272 - The Fate Awaiting The World
ARAHNick led her into a chamber with white brick walls, each one painted with intricate sigils. Overhead, constellations were etched into the ceiling, glowing softly like they were alive. The floor was an illusion—one moment it felt like walking on a sea of clouds, the next like floating above a void of endless darkness.It didn’t unsettle her much as she was used to heights. Floating came naturally to her, a reflex buried deep in her sylph nature. Still, she had to admit it was eerie. And she’d be lying if she said it didn’t give her goosebumps.Ahead, women stood silently on either side of what looked like an aisle down the center of the room. She counted seven on each side. They wore long white cloaks, their sleek white hair braided neatly down their backs. Pale blue eyes peeked out from behind white veils that covered the upper halves of their faces.They looked just like the veiled women who had shown young A
