My heart immediately surged with anticipation at the mention of my parents. Did he finally discover the truth? Was this the last bus stop on my journey to uncover the truth?

But then Raul sighed deeply, a downcast expression settling on his face, causing my heart to beat irregularly.

Were my parents dead?

“Are you going to talk, Raul, or do you want me to develop high blood pressure first?” I asked, unable to tolerate the tension any longer.

“I’m sorry… I just saw the hopeful look…” He paused, inhaling deeply, further confusing me.

What was he talking about? Did something happen to my parents?

“Dora, we couldn’t trace your lineage. I tried; the people…”

I raised my hand, silencing him.

“Don’t beat yourself up about it.” I stated firmly, noticing the myriad of emotions flashing across his face—disappointment in his tracking skills, loathing, and self-hate.

But none of that was necessary. It’s not like I was that invested in this matter—though I was a tad bit curious. I really w

    SAGEWas I an ancient? I wondered, watching Darius sit up slowfully, gracefully, with an air of resignation—obviously done with the fight, obviously restless as I was. His eyes raked me from head to toe slowly, as if drinking the sight of me in, the possibility of me in. That gaze wavered, though, when he found no ring on my fingers or necklace with the abstenum mineral."Where is it?" he asked.With the wave of magic energy I perceived then, I knew that he had cloaked us—our words rather—veiled them from being heard by the people around. The crowd, meanwhile, was growing restless, clamoring for more fights, more bloodshed, more action. The referee, too, was just as confused as the royals watching.I could feel it all—their curiosity, their confusion. They wanted to know why I had backed away, for it had been clear that I could have easily won the fight. They had all heard Darius pleading, although they weren't sure for what."Where is what?" I finally voiced, cocking a brow.I knew

    SAGEDarius was not happy with my joke, with my nickname for him.He growled like the animal he was—a deep, resonant sound that vibrated through the ground—and lunged.We clashed.Fire burst from my hands; his claws met them with strength and speed that shouldn't belong to any normal shifter. But then, he wasn't a shifter. Sparks rained as if we were forging war itself. He shifted mid-air, turning half-mist, my flames sliding through him harmlessly."Cheap trick!" I shouted, leaping back, and then I, too, dissolved—my body turning translucent, half-light, half-air. It wasn't something I'd mastered; it was instinct, or perhaps El.You're getting sloppy, El teased."Shut up," I hissed aloud, the memory of how it has always been between us wrapping me up again. The sound was drowned by the crash of our next collision.We reappeared almost at once, blades in hand, though neither of us had drawn them. The swords had only manifested from pure will, shimmering white and black—opposites bor

    SAGEFor a few heartbeats, everything was smoke and dust. My chest heaved as I stared at the motionless dragon sprawled across the field, its once-majestic form now dimming under the glare of the sun. My arms trembled, my magic thinned to threads. Please, stay down. I mused, struggling to catch my breath.But luck wasn't on my side.With a shimmer of silver and gold, the dragon's body began to fold inward—like fire curling into itself—and Darius emerged from it, human.He landed on his knees first, gasping, before his body glowed again. A shift—faster this time—until where the man had stood was now a cougar, large and sleek, its pelt as dark as wet stone, eyes glowing amber. The air rippled with his fury and exhaustion.For a second, I almost laughed. A dragon to a cat. Quite the downgrade. But my amusement didn't last long.I knew he was conserving strength. Smart. Dangerous. His movements were lithe, a silent shadow slinking toward me, golden eyes fixed and unblinkingI tried to st

    SAGEAn ancient.That was my first thought when I saw the dragon.For a heartbeat, my brain refused to process what I was seeing. Then the sight before me swallowed every other sound, every other thought, until there was nothing left but awe.The creature towered before me—no, loomed—scales gleaming like molten bronze under the glare of the sun, streaked with veins of dull gold that pulsed faintly, as though alive. Each breath it took was accompanied by a low rumble that shook the earth beneath my feet. The smoke drifting from its nostrils carried the scent of ash and iron, and each exhale left trails of heat curling through the air.Its eyes—bright, molten gold with a slit of darkness in the center—fixed on me with the eerie intelligence of something far older than the present world. Its massive body stretched out behind it, wings half-folded but still wide enough to cast a long shadow that swallowed half the arena. Its tail, long and ridged, swung lazily from side to side, carving d

    SAGE Today was the day. The fight. The final one. The last piece before things go downhill.I sat on the edge of the low cot inside my tent, staring at the glimmering surface of the water bowl before me. My reflection looked composed, calm even—but that was a lie. Beneath the surface, I was vibrating. Not from fear, but from the pulse of something electric. Anticipation.The tent smelled faintly of oils and incense—the kind Isla swore would "soothe the soul." I didn't need soothing. I needed the opposite. I needed chaos, the sound of magic splitting the air, the thrill of someone trying to hit me and failing spectacularly.I needed to spar with someone that wouldn't make me think twice of the power in my arsenal. Someone, I could go all out with. And already, I was sure that Darius was that."You're smiling again," Isla's voice came from the corner.I turned slightly. She was leaning against one of the tent poles, arms crossed, that faint line between her brows deepening. "That smile

    ADAMThe meeting had left a strange weight in my chest—like a knot I couldn't quite untangle. Even now, as I sat at the long dining table with my family, the echoes of Sage's voice lingered in my head. The confidence in her tone, the way her eyes had met mine—steady, unyielding. It had been years since anyone dared to look at me like that.And then there was Darius.The way those two had exchanged glances and laughed as if they shared an old secret—it gnawed at me. I couldn't decide what irritated me more: their ease with each other or the fact that she had laughed at all. Laughed, in my presence, when every other soul in that room could barely breathe under the tension.Now, the table buzzed with conversation. Everyone had something to say about her."She's a spy," my father said bluntly, his voice cutting through the murmurs. "No woman that unpredictable can be trusted. She's hiding something."He wasn't wrong. I'd thought the same more than once. Sage didn't just walk into a room
