For several seconds, Celine could not breathe.

The woman standing beyond the broken prison looked exactly like her mother.

The same silver hair.

The same golden eyes Celine had seen in the memories hidden beneath the Source.

The same crescent-shaped mark near her collarbone.

Even the expression on her face carried something painfully familiar.

Celine's fingers tightened around the pendant at her neck.

It burned against her skin.

"Mother..."

The word escaped before she could stop it.

The woman s

    Celine opened her eyes.For a moment, she couldn't remember where she was.There was no golden city.No ancient throne.No black cracks spreading beneath her feet.No Hunger whispering inside her mind.Only sunlight.Warm, soft sunlight falling across her face.She blinked.The sky above her was blue.A real sky.Clouds moved slowly across it, untouched by ancient magic.Celine drew a deep breath.The air smelled of pine, fresh earth, and something else she had almost forgotten.Home.Then she felt a hand around hers.She turned.Damon was lying beside her.His eyes were closed."Damon."Nothing.Her heart stopped.She pushed herself up."Damon!"His eyes opened.He stared at her for a second before a tired smile appeared."I'm here."Celine released a breath she hadn't realized she was holding."You scared me."Damon sat up slowly."You're the one who fell out of another realm.""I didn't fall.""You were unconscious.""That doesn't mean I fell."He smiled."You've become very stubbo

    Damon was gone.Celine stared at the impossible future in front of her, unable to breathe.There was no battlefield.No blood.No burning city.Only an empty field beneath a pale moon.Damon's coat lay on the ground.His sword rested beside it.But Damon himself was nowhere to be seen.Then the vision changed.Celine saw herself standing alone on a throne of black stone.The seven symbols floated behind her like broken stars.The First Possibility was gone.The First Dream was gone.And the Hunger had become part of her.Another vision appeared.Damon standing before her.Older.Tired.His eyes filled with pain."You chose the world."Another vision.Damon turning away from her.Another.Damon disappearing into darkness.Another.Celine reaching for him and finding nothing.She cried out."No!"The visions shattered.Celine fell to her knees."Celine!"Damon's voice reached her.She looked up.He was standing in front of her.Alive.Real.His hands were on her shoulders."Celine, look

    The golden door answered with another heartbeat.THUD.Celine felt it beneath her feet.THUD.The sound traveled through the hidden city, shaking the walls and making the silver lanterns flicker.THUD.Aiden covered his ears."It's calling."Celine turned toward him."Who?"Aiden slowly lowered his hands."The child."The First King stared at the sealed door.His face had lost all color."The first child."Celine stepped closer."You said he was the reason the First Dream existed."The First King nodded."But you also said he was never supposed to exist.""I know.""Then tell me the truth."He looked at her."I am trying.""No."Celine's voice sharpened."You're remembering pieces and giving me only the ones you can bear."The First King looked away.Damon stood beside Celine."She's right."The First Queen sighed."We all have things we regret."Celine looked at her."Regret doesn't give anyone the right to keep deciding my future."The Queen lowered her gaze."No. It doesn't."Aren

    The golden door opened another inch.A cold wind swept through the chamber.Celine instinctively stepped backward.The door was enormous, stretching from the floor nearly to the ceiling. Its surface was covered with the same golden lines that had once appeared on Celine's skin.But there was something different about it.The lines weren't forming a path.They were forming a warning.Damon stood beside her."Don't go near it."Celine nodded."I wasn't planning to."Across the chamber, the First King remained on his knees.The First Queen hurried toward him."Can you stand?"He pushed himself upright, breathing heavily."I remember."The Queen's expression tightened."What?"He looked at Celine."I remember the door."Celine's heart pounded."What is behind it?"The First King hesitated.Then he whispered:"Everything we tried to erase."The door opened farther.A faint sound came from the other side.Children laughing.Celine froze.The sound was strangely familiar.Not because she rec

    The whisper disappeared.But its warning remained.Celine stood frozen, one hand pressed against the cracked crescent pendant.Do not let the First King remember everything.She looked at him.The First King was no longer looking at the darkness.He was looking at his own hands.They were trembling.The First Queen noticed it too."Tell us what you remember."He shook his head."No."Her expression hardened."We need the truth.""You don't understand.""Then make us understand."The First King raised his eyes.There was something broken inside them now."I don't know if I can."The chamber trembled again.Dust fell from the ceiling.Damon moved closer to Celine."Whatever you're remembering, don't face it alone."The First King gave him a bitter smile."You sound like you did all those centuries ago."Damon frowned."You remember me?""I remember the Promise."His gaze shifted toward Celine."And I remember why it was created."Celine stepped forward."You said the Promise protected C
