Jasmine's POV~

It wasn’t the wind that hit us. It was weight. Pressure. The kind that felt as if my lungs were clapping shut and my bones had been turned inside out. I found myself on one knee without knowing how, and beside me, Damien grunted as he dragged me along behind him. Ilsa wasn’t screaming anymore.

She was floating.

Her feet hovered six or eight inches above the ground, her arms outstretched, her hair flying. Her eyes were open wide, but they weren’t looking at us. They were staring through everything. As if she were peering toward something in a direction that hadn’t existed before. “Elara,” I managed to say, my voice cracked. “Where is the pressure on you coming from?”

Elara’s jaw clenched. With both hands planted on the ground, her shard was flickering in pulsing, erratic spurts. “It’s not just pressure. It’s resonance. It’s coming from beneath us.”

Beneath?

I looked at the ground. The ground surrounding the old altar shimmered, light pulsing through the cracks like somet

    Damien's POV~Ilsa had not stirred since she had uttered that name. Veliseth. She merely continued to gaze at the baby, as though the word had arrived not from her lips, but from someplace lower down. “What did you see?” I asked.Her voice was faint. “Not a place. Not first. A person.” I stepped closer. “Who?”“A name that Jasmine cut from her memory. A soul that she lost just to remain hidden.”“Why?” Elara inquired, clutching the child to her chest protectively. Ilsa blinked slowly. “Because it was the key to her becoming what she became. Whoever they were, Jasmine loved them and loved them so that she could forget them. That type of grief is once in a lifetime.”A silence settled over us. One that wasn’t hollow, but thick. Purposeful. I looked at Elara, and we both knew what we had to do. “Where?” I asked. “There." Ilsa indicated the other side of the Academy, to the old barracks that had crumbled in the first quake. “Underneath. In the roots of the mountain. There’s an old vault.

    Elara’s POV~I did not say anything when I saw him. I couldn’t. Caspian was standing in the doorway like a ghost unwilling to be quiet. Shirt ripped, face smudged with dirt, eyes hollow from fatigue. But still him. Still real. He gazed directly at the baby in my lap. “She’s not the only one,” he repeated.Damien was the first to burst forward, somehow positioning himself between us on reflex, protective as always. But I was on my feet and rearing to take a step closer, clutching the baby tightly. “Where have you been?” I asked.Caspian exhaled, then staggered. Damien checked his fall by grasping his arm as he fell to the floor. “I need…A second,” Caspian mumbled. “There’s too much. I don’t know if I even made it back that far.”I led him to the cot next to the one the baby had been in. Sitting on him, the fingers of her little hands wandered fumblingly in the cloth of his shoulder. Caspian’s voice cracked. “I didn’t die. I don’t think. But I wasn’t anywhere. I was… between.”“Between

    Damien's POV~I didn’t move.The sound of the baby crying had gone soft. More like whimpers. Her little fingers curled at the corner of her blanket. My hands trembled as they went out to her. Not from fear. Not even from disbelief. But more from the terrifying, beautiful weight of it. She didn’t move a muscle when I lifted her. She nuzzled my chest, as if she already knew me. Like she had been waiting.I looked around the clearing. There were no footprints. No breeze. Nothing but the dim glow betrayed where Jasmine had been standing. Where she had watched. Where she had disappeared. “Elara,” I whispered. “Ilsa—someone—” while carrying the baby and turning to the Academy. Her head lay on top of my heart, where my mark tingled brightly. And it was burning. Not in pain. But in recognition.I hadn't even made it to the eastern gate when Ilsa was already there to intercept me. She didn’t say anything at first. Her eyes widened when she saw the baby, and she opened the door without speaking

    Damien's POV~Jasmine’s name remained carved in stone.I froze in place as the entire Academy went silent behind me. The wind had whisked away the remaining smoke. The earth beneath my boots was still hot from what had just been — like the world hadn’t yet soaked itself in her absence.I couldn’t walk away.The grave wasn’t deep. She would have hated some grand tomb. She railed against being made famous only after she was dead. But it had to be here, Elara had said—at the very spot where the old altar had been. Jasmine had broken it with her body and sealed it with her soul. This land owed her that.So did I.I kneeled, fingers grazing the line of fresh soil. No flowers. Not yet. Ilsa had said until the gate locked that nothing would grow here in the soil. I had no idea how long that would take. Maybe never.I sucked in a sharp breath through my lungs.I didn’t cry at the burial. Not until Elara read the last words of Jasmine, in the note she had left with the Uncut. Certainly not the

    Jasmine's POV~The woman who shared my face stepped outside the gate, and everything tilted.Not metaphorically.Literally.The air behind her warped in gently like a ripple, the sky split open to a bruised red, and the world gaped below our feet. She was beautiful in the way ruin is beautiful. It was cracked, shiny, impossible to look away from. Her gown drifted like smoke; she made no sound as she moved. But the legions behind her — those echoes of consequence — marched like thunder.“Jasmine,” Elara whispered, voice trembling. “What are we looking at?”“Not a copy,” I said. “Not a shadow.”“Then what?”“The weight of every decision I never made. Every life I left unlived.”The other me—The Consequence Queen, I guessed—lifted a hand. Her army stopped as one. They were silent, watching. Their eyes sparkled with memories I had not lived, and yet somehow recalled. A version of Caspian who never said goodbye. A Damien who turned away. A me that took the crown. I remembered Kaelen’s last

    Jasmine's POV~I barely had time to react before the thing attacked. But it did not strike me cold, like a blow. It struck me like memory — full-bodied, mind-shattering, blood-deep. My gasp was ripped from my throat when the force of my stumble sent me back, slamming into Damien’s chest. He caught me, steadying me, but I didn’t register his touch. I wasn’t even paying attention to my own body. Since the creature hadn’t attacked me. It had entered me.“No — no, no, please no,” I panted, holding my head. It was tearing me apart, in my mind. Not pain. Something worse. Recognition. All the pieces of myself that I’d broken off and buried. Every doubt. Every selfish thought. Everything I had ever doubted and pretended was my strength rose to the surface.”“I did not ask for this,” I murmured.“But the decision was yours,” the voice resounded inside. “You left me there. In the glass. In the stillness. I now put on what you threw away.” I dropped to my knees. Damien was screaming for me, but
