THE ECHO OF PEACE

It had been twenty-three days since the bloom first flowered.

Ari could feel it the hum in her bones, the low pulse of the leyline beneath her feet. The bloom was no longer just a symbol. It was a presence, one that now reached beyond the forest, beyond Ash root Crag.

The new Pact was alive.

And it had begun to listen beyond its borders.

When she placed her palm to its trunk that morning, she felt something different.

A ripple. Not of danger, but of return.

Mira’s vision had been order. Seris’s, liberation. Ari’s had always been something simpler:

To heal what they broke.

But now, for the first time, she wondered had they broken too much to mend?

They arrived just after noon: three riders cloaked in smoke-coloured furs, bearing no weapons but carrying emblems that hadn’t been seen in the forest for a generation.

The emblem of the Outer Houses.

Kael, who met them at the river crossing, recognized the sigil instantly.

“Outlands,” he said. “I thought they turned inward after the Pact fra

  • SILVER PACT   WHERE WE DO NOT SPEAK

    No agreements were signed.No laws declared.No new Circle crowned.And yet, something had changed.The morning after the assembly of the Third Voice fractured, the world did not feel broken.It felt unfinished.Not with absence.With possibility.In the groves once governed by Pact Scribes, children now ran among resonance lines not to bind them, but to play within them.Some blooms opened when someone laughed.Some closed when someone lied.There were no rules anymore.Only relationships.And those took time.In a quiet cave on the edge of the known world, Ari sat with an unwritten book in her lap.She had been asked gently, but persistently to record what had happened.The full truth of Mira Hale, Saris, Kaima, and the forming of the Hollow World.She had said yes.And every day since, she had opened the book.And left the page blank.Not because she didn’t know what to write.But because she had finally understood what Kaima meant:Some stories are not meant to be taught.They are

  • SILVER PACT   THE DAYS WITHOUT SONGS

    There were no announcements.No declarations.No war drums or pulse-beats from the bloom.In the weeks following the collapse of the Veil wrights’ artificial network and the Hollow's full emergence, the world slipped into a strange stillness.Not peace.Cautious pause.As if even the wind was listening for what would come next.In the Hollow Circle, now scattered across vast roots and drifting Bloomfields, Ari sat beside a narrow stream made of condensed resonance.Children played nearby. Some sketched runes in the air; others asked questions she couldn’t always answer.She was not their guide anymore.But she still watched.And remembered.Lyra returned from the East with news Ari had expected, though still dreaded:“The Rhendari enclave is pulling out of shared resonance.”Ari nodded slowly.“They fear the Hollow,” Lyra continued. “They say it has no rules. That it feels too much. That emotion should never shape power.”“They’re not wrong,” Ari said. “But they’re also not ready to l

  • SILVER PACT   THE SEED BEYOND SILENCE

    Fifty-eight days had passed since the original bloom opened the world.In that time, the Pact had spread to twenty-three regions each with its own bloom, its own resonance, and its own interpretation of Ari’s vision. The forest of Ash root still pulsed, but it no longer pulsed alone.There were no kings. No formal orders. The old monarchies and mage-banners had crumbled in the face of a force that did not ask for allegiance only presence.From the Salt Barrens, where Elen now guided the Spiral Flame Pact, to the drifting glaciers of Thalorhym, where a sea-bloom hummed beneath the ice, magic no longer obeyed singular voices.It breathed with multiplicity.But the world, as always, did not remain quiet for long.In the southern arc of the shattered Vale of Mirrors, Ari watched as children painted runes with their bare hands each one slightly different, each one accepted by the bloom.These were the children of war, children of Pact-bound refugees and rebel kin, born not into the legacy

  • SILVER PACT   THE HOLLOW WORLD

    Jeremiah nodded as he said “The Pact was meant for this land. These people. Not far nations and deep seas.”Lyra frowned. “But it’s not us anymore, is it? The bloom listens to all.”Elen stood apart, arms crossed, silent.Then Kael stepped forward and placed a binding sigil at the Circle’s edge. Old magic. Pre-bloom.“We can pause the connection,” he said. “Just for a while. Let the world calm down.”Ari looked at him.“You want to cut it off.”“Just protect what we built.”Ari turned slowly to Elen. “And you?”Elen said nothing.But she didn’t stop Kael.And that was enoughThat night, Kael and three Circle members approached the bloom’s edge.They carried four old blades each dipped in silver sap and soaked in oil root.They whispered an old binding: the kind Mira would have used, before she understood resonance.And they struck.Not at the bloom’s core but at one of its youngest roots.The bloom didn’t scream.It shuddered.Light dimmed. The sky silenced. The stars realigned.And f

  • SILVER PACT   ROOTS BENEATH THE ASH

    The seed lay where Saris had vanished smooth, silver-veined, no larger than Ari’s palm. It pulsed faintly with warmth, like something still breathing.Around her, the ancient Circle had quieted. The stones that had once housed Mira and Seris’s first vows now stood in reverent stillness. Even the spirits so volatile before hovered silently in the shadows of the forest, their energy subdued. Watching.Ari didn’t speak as she knelt and cupped the seed.No one dared to interrupt.Kael, Lyra, Erin, Jeremiah they stood behind her like sentinels, unsure of what came next.“She gave this to us,” Ari whispered. “Not as surrender. As… continuation.”“You can’t be sure of that,” Erin said, but her voice lacked force.“I can,” Ari replied, eyes locked on the seed. “She gave it to me. She chose it over herself.”Kael shifted. “So, what now?”Ari stood, and the seed’s glow brightened in her hand.“We plant it.”They returned to Ash root Crag, where the rebellion’s heart still beat faintly amidst ma
