The next morning, I arrived at coalition headquarters to find River waiting in one of the magical research labs. He was a quiet man in his forties with the same silver hair and shifting eyes as Iris, and he had proven to be incredibly skilled at magical analysis.

"Mary, thank you for coming," he said, gesturing me over to a workbench covered in vials and magical instruments. "I have been studying the curse that attacked Chris, and I found something disturbing."

    We reached a door marked "Primary Research Director" and Damon checked for alarms before opening it. Inside was an office that looked more like a command center. Maps covered the walls showing coalition territories, photographs of me were pinned to a bulletin board with notes about my abilities and weaknesses, research papers detailed every healing technique I had ever used.And sitting behind the desk, calmly waiting for us, was Dr. Rachel Torres.She looked exactly as I remembered from Westbrook City Hospital. Middle aged, dark hair pulled back in a neat bun, kind eyes behind wire-rimmed glasses. Except now I could see what I had missed before, the calculation in those eyes, the way she studied me like I was a particularly interesting specimen."Hello Mary," she said pleasantly, like we had just run into each other at the hospital. "I was wondering when you would find this place. You are earlier than I expected actually, I thought I had another week at least.""You knew we would fin

    The night before the assault, I found myself standing in the healing center's main surgical suite, running my hands over the equipment I had used to save so many lives. The room was empty and quiet, lit only by the emergency lighting that cast everything in a dim blue glow. I should have been sleeping, resting before tomorrow's mission, but my mind would not stop racing with questions about Dr. Torres and what we might find at the laboratory.I heard footsteps behind me and turned to find my mother standing in the doorway, she was wrapped in a thick robe and holding two cups of tea."I figured you would not be sleeping either," she said, offering me one of the cups. "The night before a big operation always feels impossible to get through.""How did you handle it?" I asked, taking the tea gratefully. "During your twenty years with The Covenant, when you knew you would be sent on missions the next day, how did you quiet your mind enough to rest?"She was quiet for a long moment, her exp

    We spent another hour observing the facility, noting security patterns and possible entry points. Iris continued to sense the dark magic emanating from underground, and she reported at least three separate sources of curse energy."They are not just researching one curse," she said, her expression troubled. "They are developing multiple weapons. This is a full-scale dark magic laboratory."As we were preparing to leave and report back to Theodore, something unexpected happened. A vehicle pulled up to the facility's main entrance, and I watched through the binoculars as someone got out.Someone I recognized."That is impossible," I breathed, unable to believe what I was seeing."What is impossible?" Owen asked, taking the binoculars from me."That person getting out of the vehicle. I know her, she was a healer at Westbrook City Hospital when I was an intern. Her name is Dr. Rachel Torres, and I thought she retired six months ago."Owen studied the woman through the binoculars and then

    "I think I found them."Damon burst into my office at the healing center three days after River's revelation about the curse timeline, his expression was excited in a way I rarely saw from the usually controlled tactical expert. I looked up from the patient chart I was reviewing, and I felt my heart start racing with anticipation."Found who?" I asked, though I already knew what he meant."The research team creating the adaptive curses. Or at least, I found where they are operating from." He spread a map across my desk, pointing to a location deep in the mountains about two hundred miles from coalition territory. "There is an old mining facility here that was abandoned sixty years ago. According to public records, it has been empty ever since. But three weeks ago, I noticed unusual power consumption in the area.""Someone turned the electricity back on?""Exactly, and they are using a lot of it. More than you would expect for squatters or people just sheltering in an abandoned buildin

    The next morning, I arrived at coalition headquarters to find River waiting in one of the magical research labs. He was a quiet man in his forties with the same silver hair and shifting eyes as Iris, and he had proven to be incredibly skilled at magical analysis."Mary, thank you for coming," he said, gesturing me over to a workbench covered in vials and magical instruments. "I have been studying the curse that attacked Chris, and I found something disturbing.""More disturbing than an adaptive curse designed to kill teenagers?" I asked, only half joking."Yes, actually. Look at this." He held up a vial containing a small sample of the curse residue, it glowed with that same ugly purple light I remembered from Chris's arm. "This curse was not created recently. The magical signature suggests it is at least six months old, possibly older.""Six months?" That did not make sense. "But the attacks only started a few weeks ago.""Exactly. Which means someone has been developing these curses

    "We have identified three more curse attacks in the past week, all targeting young supernatural beings in remote locations."Lucas stood at the front of the war room two weeks after Chris's attack, pointing at red marks on the regional map. Each mark represented a curse victim, and the pattern was becoming clearer. Someone was testing their adaptive curses on isolated targets who would not have immediate access to advanced healing."Are the victims surviving?" I asked, though I already knew the answer from Lucas's grim expression."One survived because a local witch managed to slow the curse long enough to get them to a major healing center. The other two died before help arrived, the curses were too aggressive and spread too fast. Both victims were teenagers, both were alone when attacked, and both reported being near old ruins or abandoned buildings before they felt the initial injury."Three victims. Two dead. And we were no closer to identifying who was behind the attacks."The cu
