The way narrowed. Water dripped from overhead. The smell of moss and old magic hung in the air.Emereah stumbled once, and Vera caught her. Rhovan went on in front of them, the dim light of a charmstone radiating from his palm to lead them."I should have talked sooner," he said, his voice coming over his shoulder. "But I was afraid.""Of what?" Vera grumbled."Of being wrong," Rhovan whispered. "Of trusting in something wild. Unwritten."He glanced over at Emereah."But then I saw her. Standing in front of the Council. Not breaking. Not bowing. Just burning, quietly."They came to a round cavern, moonlight trickling from a shattered stone above. In the center stood the arch—warped roots, dead limbs, and runes etched long before Eltharia bore a name."Through there," Rhovan said. "Once you cross it, you're past their notice."Emereah glanced at the passageway. Then at him."Will you come?""I'll hold them up," he said. "Tell them I chased you into the Black Tunnels. That you disappear

High Tower – NightfallThe flames had burned to embers long ago.Emereah lay restlessly on the narrow pallet of furs, on her side, one hand curled protectively over the roundness of her belly.Beyond, the wind screamed against the stone walls of the tower. Storm brewed on the horizon.In her mind…Fire.Winding, seething flame.She stood on burned earth, barefoot, the heavens above her staining red and gold, the air itself aflame with ash. Sweat-soaked, her nightdress stuck to her skin. Smoke irritated her eyes.And then—She saw him.Vladimir.Ablaze.Flames wrapped around his shoulders like a crown. His hands, outstretched toward her, burned and shaking.His eyes—wild, haunted eyes—glowed gold. Not with fury. But with something much more deadly.Love.Real. Bleeding. Raw."Emereah," he called out, voice a deep echo.She stepped back. The heat closed in, intolerable."Why are you here?" she demanded, voice breaking. "You imprisoned me—""I shattered them," he said. "For you. For us.

Temple of First Flame — War ChamberObsidian doors creaked as they swung wide, and Vladimir stood before them in his complete armor, darkness licking at his heels as if even the flames were afraid to touch him.The war chamber was huge—illuminated by floating braziers, each flame held suspended in the air by runes older than eternity. His council was assembled: twelve men and women shrouded in black, gold, and deep red. They stood as if frozen at his arrival, their visages impassive. Along the curved walls, his personal guards stood at attention—silent, armored, and vigilant.Vladimir walked to the center, thrusting his star-iron blade into the map-engraved tabletop with a crack."Where is she?"There was silence.Not even the fires had the temerity to flicker.He looked around, his voice a storm crash in stillness. "I asked where Emereah is. Have you located her?"There was still—nothing.Some cast wary glances at each other. Others cast down their eyes.Then there came forward a man

Meanwhile — Outer Sanctum, Elder HallIncense and wet parchment filled the air with heavy, acrid odor. Vera hurried, her footsteps echoing the silent halls of the Sanctum. She had caught them—Elarion, Malthis, and the Silent One—their tones dripping with cunning malice, their words conveyed just beyond the curve of the closed room."The child is not in balance. It is a fire born of rebellion.""It must be removed from her before the choice. Before it kills her.""She will not go quietly.""Then we do not ask."Vera had crouched, silent, behind the Maiden of Tests statue.And she had listened to them plotting.The elders were not biding their time for prophecy or prayer. They were making plans for a ritual removal. A forced cutting—hundreds of years old, outlawed, and nearly always deadly.The child.The prophecy.Emereah's life.They would give up everything to keep their power.Her heart raced when she sped around a corner, shoving aside stunned acolytes and hooded initiates. No time

Later That Night — High Tower ChamberThe air in the room was dense, thrumming like a withheld breath that would not release. Moonlight fell across the cracked stone floor, yet even the light was reluctant to stay.Emereah sat before the mirror, her reflection a fragile illusion. A woman with a storm in her womb. A face that no longer belonged to just herself. Vera’s fingers threaded through her hair, movements slow, as if brushing through the threads of fate itself."You asked him to leave," Vera said softly.“Yes.” Emereah's voice didn’t waver. Not outwardly.“And you’re afraid.”“Terrified.”Silence pressed between them.“But not of him,” Emereah added, eyes locked with her reflection. “I’m afraid of what I’ll become if he stays.”Vera’s hands paused. “Say it.”Emereah swallowed hard. “I’m afraid I’ll forgive him too easily.”The mirror reflected the admission like a wound laid bare. Vera moved to face her, crouching beside the chair.“You still love him,” she said."Love is not th

Sanctum of the Elders — Northwatch KeepThe wind changed.Not the sort that whispered through leaves or screamed down stone halls.No, this wind bore omens.Whispers.Truths buried under centuries of war and peace too ephemeral to endure.The Elder in bone-colored silk stood at the Sanctum's periphery, the edge of his robe brushing against untouched snow. Elder Rhovan. Taller than he should have been. Ageless. A guardian of memory no one wanted remembered.He stood among the trees like a man waiting on a ghost.And maybe he was.For she had returned.The girl.The accursed fire. The one whose line went not only back to Vladimir, but to her.The one they had isolated centuries past."She bears the mark," he whispered, breath visible in the chill. "And the error is repeating itself."Behind him, figures emerged from shadows.The Elder Circle.Vashti. Mouren. Kaldris. Ysell.They had arrived unsummoned.For fate did not require an invitation."She is pregnant," Vashti declared, voice a t
