    “You asked the Revenant to take your light,” he said quietly, “so Rory could live.”Silence fell like a drop into endless darkness.“I would never give up my humanity.”“You didn’t lose your humanity.” Lucien’s tone was steady, cruel in its honesty. “You surrendered your goodness.”The cold shook my spine. “Stop.”“You carved yourself open. You let evil in. You made the monster.”“No.”

    Kael rose to his feet, his hands shaking.“Then I’ll find her,” he said, voice breaking. “Even if she no longer remembers me.”Lucien’s eyes darkened. “You don’t understand. When you find her again… she won’t just be Rory.”The ground beneath them trembled soft, steady, regular.A beating.But not human.“My reflection smiled when I didn’t.”My mirror smiled when I didn’t.

    Her breathing quickened. “Then what do we do?”I looked at her, truly looked. The girl who once hated me.
