Autumn held a small piece of paper over the flickering candle flame, watching as the edges curled and blackened. The fire consumed the writing slowly, eating away at whatever words had been inked there until nothing remained but a tiny scrap. She dropped it into the candle dish and reached for another sheet from the neat stack beside her.

Her hand moved carefully across the page, the pen scratching out words in her precise, flowing script. When she finished, she read it over once, then rolled the paper tightly and secured it with a thin piece of twine.

Autumn walked to her window and pushed it open. The cool night air rushed in, bringing with it the scent of pine and earth. She made a soft clicking sound with her tongue, and within moments, a shadow passed over the moon.

A bird swooped through the open window and landed gracefully on the sill. It was a raven… large and black as midnight, with intelligent eyes that gleamed in the candlelight.

"Hello, Lia," Autumn said softly, reaching

    They made camp that night near Blackwater Fall, far enough from the water that the sound wasn't deafening but close enough that Autumn could still hear it in the distance… a low, constant rumble.Korran had warmed up by the fire, his color returning to normal, though he still looked tired. Retrieving the stone had taken more out of him than he'd let on."You should rest," Autumn told him as she handed him a bowl of broth, it was warm."I'm fine.""You're exhausted.""I said I'm fine," he repeated, but there was no real heat in it. He took the cup from her, their fingers brushing. "Thank you."Across the fire, Lysa sat staring into the flames, her expression as blank as ever. Kael was sharpening his blade, the rhythmic sound of metal on stone almost soothing."Tomorrow we head for Veilwood," Korran said after a moment."How far is it?" Autumn asked."Two days' travel, if we push hard. Three if we don't.""And once we get there?""We retrieve the last stone." He looked at her over the r

    The camp was already being packed up when Autumn left her tent that morning. Men moved with practiced efficiency, rolling up tents, securing supplies, checking weapons. The air smelled like smoke from dying fires and the damp earth of the forest floor.Korran stood near the center of it all, looking over a map spread across a makeshift table. He didn't look up when Autumn approached, but she knew he'd heard her. He always knew when she was near."We're leaving soon," he said, his voice carrying just enough to reach her."I know." Autumn stopped beside him, looking down at the map. She could see the markings, the locations of the remaining stones. Two left. Blackwater Fall Park and Veilwood Park. "I'm ready."Now he looked up, his eyes meeting hers. There was something in his gaze that made her breath catch. "Good. We travel light. Just the four of us.""Four?""You, me, Lysa, and Kael." He straightened, rolling up the map. "The fewer people, the faster we move. And the less attention

    The summons came early the next morning.Callie was sitting by the window in her room, watching the sun rise over the park grounds, when there was a soft knock at her door."Come in," she called.A servant entered, a young woman with dark hair pulled back in a neat bun. She curtsied quickly. "Miss Callie, the Luna requests your presence in the throne room."Callie's stomach dropped. "Now?""At your earliest convenience, miss." The servant's expression was neutral, but there was something in her eyes… maybe sympathy, maybe warning. "She said not to rush, but... I wouldn't keep the Luna waiting.""Right." Callie stood, smoothing down the simple dress she'd put on that morning. "Thank you."The servant curtsied again and left.Callie took a breath, trying to calm the nervous flutter in her chest. What could Karter possibly want with her? She'd been trying to keep a low profile since she had regained consciousness, staying out of everyone's way, not drawing attention to herself.Apparentl

    The gardens were quiet in the late afternoon, the kind of peaceful that felt almost sacred. Birds sang in the trees, their calls echoing softly through the air. The fountain at the center burbled gently, water cascading over smooth stone. And sitting on a bench near that fountain, looking small and tired and lost in thought, was Callie.Damon's heart clenched at the sight of her.He approached slowly, his footsteps soft on the gravel path. "Callie?"She looked up, and when their eyes met, he saw so many things flash across her face. Surprise. Uncertainty. Pain. And underneath it all, something that might have been hope."Damon," she said quietly."Can I sit?"She hesitated, her fingers twisting together in her lap. Then she nodded. "Yeah. Okay."He sat down beside her, leaving a careful distance between them. Not too close. Not touching. Just... there.For a long moment, neither of them spoke. The only sounds were the fountain and the birds and the rustle of leaves in the breeze."I t

    The throne room doors were heavier than Damon remembered. Or maybe it was just the weight of what he was about to do that made them feel that way. He pushed through them anyway, his jaw set, his hands clenched at his sides.The room stretched out before him, massive and imposing as always. The windows that let in streams of golden afternoon light. And there, at the far end, seated on her throne like she'd been born to it, was his mother.She was reading something… a scroll, maybe a report, her posture relaxed but somehow still commanding. She didn't look up when he entered, didn't acknowledge his presence at all. Just kept reading, one hand holding the parchment while the other rested elegantly on the arm of her throne.Damon walked forward, his boots echoing against the marble floor. Each step felt deliberate, purposeful. He didn't stop until he was standing at the base of the dais, looking up at her.Still, she didn't look up."Mother," he said, his voice controlled but firm."Damon

    Autumn pushed through the creaky door first, her boots heavy on the old wooden floor. Korran followed close behind."We're good," he said after a moment, turning back to her. Autumn nodded, still catching her breath. Her hands went to her jacket pocket, feeling the weight of the stones she'd been carrying. Two of them. Small, smooth, and humming with ancient power that made her skin tingle every time she touched them.She pulled them out carefully, holding them up to the dim light filtering through the window. They glowed faintly."Here," she said, walking over to where Korran stood. "I got them both.""Two more," he whispered into her hair. "And then no one would ever have a reason to separate us again."Autumn closed her eyes and breathed him in. "Do you think we're doing the right thing?""I think we're doing the only thing we can do." He pulled back just enough to look at her. "Your mother has controlled your life for too long, Autumn. If it's going to help us attain the powers o
