Brunschière, Midnight.

Flames crackled softly in the fireplace, their coals pulsating like a heartbeat. Light shadows danced softly on the rough stone walls. Outside, the magical shield buzzed softly, straining under the burden of the plague battering against it from the hills.

But within—there was silence.

Krishna stretched out on the cot. Her face was ashen, her body covered with layers of spell-woven linens to ward off the fever. Sweat beaded on her hairline. Her fingers jerked spasmodically above the blanket, as if pursuing something in the darkness.

Ignatius sat beside her, observing.

He had not shifted for hours.

His hands were calloused, clenched tightly between his knees, knuckles white. His eyes would not blink.

She had given herself to that spell. Bled herself raw.

To guard them.

To guard him.

He swallowed hard. "Krishna," he breathed, "if you go away from me now…"

But she did not stir.

Until—

—the flames in the fire surged.

Ignatius sprang up.

The flames danced higher, flar

  • THE SILVER LINING   THE SILVER LINING CHAPTER 66

    An hour after Perfera's orderThe sky above the Citadel was shrouded in a cloud of gray ash, no sun, no moon—only the black spiral of ritual smoke that curled from the tower. On the ground, the central square had been emptied, its markets and temples silenced. The citizens had been compelled to assemble, herded like lambs before a wolf's altar.And Perfera stood on obsidian steps, dressed in midnight silk, with silver chains dangling from her wrists like talons unlatched.Behind her knelt Eshra, Amiel, and Rythe, bound, bleeding, and shorn of their ceremonial robes.A murmur ran through the crowd as her voice thundered across the square."These are your elders," she started, voice dripping with contempt. "The guardians of law. The tellers of legacy. The wise."She waited. Then:"But today, they are traitors."Gasps. Murmurs. Silence again.Amiel lifted his head, blood staining the edge of his mouth. "We only served the moon, not your shadow."Perfera spun slowly."Is that what you thi

    Beneath the Citadel – The Forgotten SanctumThe flames in the hearth sputtered low, sending long shadows writhing across the stone room. Dust clung heavy in the air, undisturbed for decades until tonight. This sanctum, once the ceremonial chamber of the first Crescent Moon Alphas, had been no more than a myth spoken by apprentices and scholars. Forgotten by the majority—except by the oldest of the old.And tonight, it pulsed with restless life.Five robed elders fell to their knees in a circle, the seal of the Old Moon etched beneath them in pale silver ash. Their hands were folded together, their voices low. Not incantations—yet—but prayers. Pleas. Bargains in fear, whispered. "She's weighing the balance," breathed Elder Rythe, his voice dry and cracked with age. "Perfera has violated the sacred pact. She nourishes the plague. Nourishes it."Older Amiel, the youngest of them but already greying at the temples, set his jaw. "She sullies what it was to be Luna. She's bound Miyal like

    The massive door groaned open, letting a dark shadow fall within the poorly lit room. The atmosphere in there was suffocating with the burden of the choice, suffocating with the density of what they had just rendered themselves to do. The elders remained motionless in their rocky immobility, the burden of their choices loomed over them like Damocles' sword.But beyond the chamber, in the darkness cast by the rotten walls of the Citadel, a figure waited—a silent, shapeless figure that listened with eternally vigilant ears. A figure wrapped in the same darkness that enveloped the Citadel, eyes drawn in, ears flared to catch every stolen word spoken. One of Perfera's spies, a ghost among ghosts, had overheard the clandestine conference. And. Then. It was. He was dashing down the endless halls, his feet light and fast, his heart racing with fear. He had to reach her before they did. Before it could be pillaged. Perfera would have to be informed. She had to be informed.Within the throne c

    One of the elderly men, shaking with his voice, had the courage to say something. "The plague already kills us all. How much more do you intend to ruin?"Perfera's eyes had been cold. "You'll see," she told them. "You'll all see. And then, you'll regret that you doubted me."And as she left the room, her voice seemed to echo through the space, heavy with venomous assurance. "This is my domain now. My father will be released from his bondage. Soon, we will own here, and there will be no one left to stand between us and our possession."The door closed behind her, and the elders were left in a heavy, oppressive silence."We're out of time," the oldest elder whispered, his pale face lit up. "Perfera has completely lost herself to the dark magic. We underestimated her power. But we still can. If we can. if we can prevent the ceremony she's conducting from taking place, then maybe we can salvage what's left of this land.""But how?" Her voice was no more than a whisper. "How are we going t

    Perfera extended a clawed hand. "But what? Don't you trust me, captain? Do you think that I who have learned the old magic which even Krishna dreaded do you think that I am not strong?Her voice fell to a harsh, threatening growl, her eyes blackening like coal. The wall sigils throbbed with her anger, the Citadel's own stones stirring to the dark magic she commanded."No," the captain stammered, his head bowed lower. "No, Luna. I… I would never question you."Perfera's mouth curved into a smile, but it was the smile of a hunter preparing to attack. "Good. For if the plague spreads any further, it will be a sign of their rebellion. It will be evidence that someone, somewhere, has the courage to defy me.".She whirled on her heels, the skirt swirling around her like the tempest swirling within her. "I am the future of this country. I will incinerate it all to ashes if I have to. They will learn. Or they will perish."She glared at the captain as much a warning as a question. "Prepare th

    The Citadel's walls pulsed with darkness. Thick, heavy hung the air with the smell of old blood, rot, and magic so disgusting that it appeared to have permeated every stone in the hall. Great halls once filled with victory, now closed around me like a grave. Blackened windows permitted only the thinnest flashes of light, and thus the room was darkened as if the very sun itself were fearful of what had occurred to this building.Perfera was at the head of the council chamber, her presence overwhelming, yet savage, as she looked out upon the shaking nobles who stood before her. Previously proud and potent, these men and women now huddled behind her in fear. Her authority was the burden she laid on them like the shadow that had appeared to drain from their own hearts. No one dared to oppose her because she had called upon the blood magic that had ravaged their world.Her own icy eyes turned to Miyal, standing like a statue. His proud figure, hollow shell of the war leader who had command
