Her gaze lifted and she saw Ignatius moving through the small courtyard. He was heading in her direction, taking long purposeful strides, but there was something in his eyes that was weary and drawn, and it at once caught her attention. She had not set eyes on him for a long while, and his sudden arrival raised her interest.The boys' chatter quieted as they spotted him, and Krishna caught their eye, nodding gently to allow them to return to work. They knew who Ignatius was the former Luna, the now great one who had walked beside her during the darkest of the plagues and wars. But now he was just another piece of Brunschière, another lost spirit searching for purpose in the destruction that was their world.When Ignatius finally stood before her, there was a silence. His usual authoritative demeanor was subdued somewhat, and Krishna couldn't help but smile, a teasing glint in her eyes."Where have you been, Ignatius?" she said, her voice light and playful. "We need you here, you know.

Miyal's eyes burned from the poison of Ignatius's words, but they were not sufficient to shatter him. Not yet. Miyal did not know what it was about Ignatius's calm, measured voice that unsettled him. It was not that Ignatius was wrong. He was right, and Miyal had been denying, even avoiding, it for too long.But would he just release Krishna? Let her slip through his fingers and not try to grab hold of her one last time? Not let her know that he had transformed, that he was no longer the same man, that he had changed?Ignatius, Miyal's voice was harsh, but his will remained unbroken, "I know you think you see. But you don't. Krishna's different from the others. I won't I can't let her go like that. Not when there's hope."."Chasing ghosts will not save the Citadel, Miyal." Ignatius's voice was stern, but there was sorrow to it, as if he mourned something lost too. "You can't bring someone back to something they've left behind."The two men stood silently, the weight of the city's brok

Miyal stood at the border of the garden, the last remnants of the sun disappearing behind the horizon. The sky, once a blazing orange, was now gradually draining into a dark indigo, reflecting the tempest that brewed within him. The garden was burgeoning, but it wasn't yet enough. Not nearly enough. The shoots that Krishna had sown were lanky, just like the hope he held on to—barely clinging, but fiercely alive.He couldn't let go. Not of the Citadel, and definitely not of Krishna.Even if she had rejected him, even if she had discovered someone new in Ignatius, he would never give in. He couldn't, he told himself, his hand shaking as it brushed against the feeble shoots of leaves that sprouted from the ground. Not after all of this.The void he experienced every time Krishna moved further out of reach from him was crushing. Each step she had taken towards Ignatius had been another kick to his heart, but it wasn't the hurt alone that propelled him now. It was the belief that he could

Miyal remained frozen, his gaze fixed on the shadow where Ignatius had vanished. The biting wind pushed against him, an unspoken reminder that the world went on while his heart remained stuck in time. The last words of Ignatius resonated in his mind, cutting and absolute, but they could not eliminate the hurt. They could not forget Krishna.He was aware that he needed to move forward. The Citadel required it. The people required him to be the leader they once thought he was. He needed to lay aside the specters of the past of Krishna, of the Citadel before the plague and look to the future.As the wind grew stronger, causing him to shiver, Miyal felt an overwhelming reality solidify in his chest.How could he forget Krishna when every nook of this compound was riddled with memories of her?Everything seemed haunted in the garden, in the city streets, in the council chambers by her presence. Krishna's laughter, her voice, the way she had always believed in him and them, despite everythi

Miyal stood still, the force of his own mind bearing down on him as the icy wind murmured through the skeletal limbs of the garden. The garden of vibrant beauty, now stained with the black ash of Perfera's rule, was an extension of his own soul. There was life here, indeed, but it was weak, tentative. Like him.He'd come back to this place time and again, seeking some indication that the world his world was not quite as irrevocably shattered as it seemed. He'd failed Krishna. Failed the Citadel. But this garden, this emblem of renewal she'd attempted to coax to life, continued to draw him in.The moon was low in the sky, its chill light throwing long shadows across the ground. His breathing was shallow as he looked down at the ground beneath his feet. He had sown the seeds, but they were nothing but feeble shoots, fighting to live in the ash. He couldn't help but think the same of himself. How did it come to this?Miyal closed his eyes, the load of his regrets bearing down on him. He

The days ran into one another. Time passed in the Citadel, but Miyal felt every passing moment stretching, as if his bones were imprisoned in an unyielding grip. There was no room for him to catch his breath, no release from the burden of being Alpha. The council, where once he used to sit and strategize with fellow visionaries, now came across as a court of vultures, all of whom were waiting for him to crash. He could sense their gaze, laden with judgment and anticipation, perpetually upon him.The Citadel was different. Its citizens, damaged by the plague, tormented by the memory of Perfera's cruel domination, were still recovering—but with doubts. Doubts about him. Doubts about the future. And why not? He'd let them down. He'd let Krishna down.Miyal's every move was burdened with that knowledge. In the council hallways, he struggled to maintain a steady voice as he went through the motions of leadership. Ancient plans needed to be reworked, new commands needed to be given, and the
