More of them poured out of the tree line the moment we thought we'd found a rhythm, at least a dozen fresh constructs joining the fray, and I felt the stretched, slowed quality of Chrono-Predatory phasing start to strain against how many threats it needed to track at once.

SageI found the ledger tucked inside Dominic's desk drawer three days later, not because I was looking for it, but because I'd gone searching for a pen and found something else entirely.It wasn't the financial ledger he'd already shown me. This was different, a logistics document, coded in a shorthand I didn't immediately recognize, dense with names and dates and troop designations that meant nothing to me on their surface.I should have left it alone. I didn't."Dominic," I called, flipping through the pages with growing unease. "What is this?"He appear

Sage.More of them poured out of the tree line the moment we thought we'd found a rhythm, at least a dozen fresh constructs joining the fray, and I felt the stretched, slowed quality of Chrono-Predatory phasing start to strain against how many threats it needed to track at once."There's too many," I called to Dominic, ducking under a swiping bone claw and driving my palm into a Bone-Singer's ribcage, shattering it from the inside with a burst of Source-laced force. "We need to fall back to a chokepoint.""There's a ravine, thirty yards east," he shouted back, parrying two attacks at once with brutal, economical precision. "Narrow enough to limit how many can reach us simultaneously."

Sage.The Council's response came within the hour, terse and grudging, immunity granted "pending further review"…which felt less like victory and more like a door propped open rather than fully unlocked, but I'd take it.I didn't get more than twenty minutes to feel relieved before the alarm sounded."Border breach," Nessa said, bursting into the recovery room where I was still monitoring Corin's post-treatment vitals. "Eastern perimeter. Multiple hostiles, unknown type, moving fast toward the settlement line.""How many casualties so far.""Three re

Sage.The Council Leader's heir was seventeen, pale and thin in a way that had nothing to do with youth and everything to do with weeks of failing treatment, and the moment I looked at him with the Twilight rising, I understood exactly why standard protocols hadn't touched whatever was eating him alive."His name is Corin," said the attending physician, a nervous man who clearly hadn't expected to be handing his patient over to the woman the Council was actively trying to prosecute. "We've tried everything in the standard formulary. Nothing's slowed the progression.""That's because it's not a standard infection." I studied the threading pattern beneath his skin, the same parasitic web I'd first seen in Marcus weeks ago, except denser here, more advanced, wound so tightly through his nervous system that it had started interfering with basic motor function. "This is late-stage Rift-plague mutation. The same thing I've been treating in dozens of other patients.""The Council didn't disc

Sage.The young man's name was Teo, and he screamed twice before his throat gave out and the sound turned into something rawer, wordless, a keening that filled the trauma bay and didn't stop."Almost there," I said, though I had no real way of knowing that, my hand still closed around the frayed golden filament, working it back through the ragged tear with a patience I didn't feel. "Stay with me.""Sage, his blood pressure's dropping," Kessler warned."I know."I found the second thread, thinner than the first, nearly dissolved entirely, and wove it careful

Sage."You're not answering the actual question," I said. "Why my clinic. Why now, with everything else happening."Aurora tilted her head, studying me with an unsettling patience. "Chaos is nourishing, Dr. Winters. Fear, hope, desperation, all of it tangled together in one building, that's a feast most places can't offer. I didn't choose Dr. Halden randomly. I chose this Sanctuary because it's the most emotionally saturated place in the territory right now.""So you're just here to feed. Nothing more.""Nothing more," she agreed, though something in the careful precision of the phrase made me doubt it."I don't believe you."Her smile sharpened slightly. "You don't have to believe me. You just have to decide what you're going to do about my presence, which, I suspect, is the actual question keeping you standing so rigidly in this doorway."She wasn't wrong. I felt the weight of the decision pressing on me, call security, risk whatever chaos an actual confrontation might cause in a bu
