The hidden flame

Kai’s POVMy fingers tightened around the scrolls.The parchment crinkled slightly under my grip as I stared at the harsh words inked across them. Words no daughter should ever receive from a father. And yet… there they were. Cold commands. Threats. A mission. A demand to act.A betrayal.I turned to Serena, who stood watching me like a cat that had just dropped a dead bird at my feet—proud and expectant.“Where did you get these?” I asked again, slower this time.She shrugged, far too casual. “Does it matter?”“It does to me.”She tilted her head. “Fine. I stole them.”My eyes narrowed.“I took them from her chamber,” she said smoothly. “After she left. They were there, just waiting. Maybe she forgot them, or maybe someone else brought them there for her. Who knows?”“You realize that’s a punishable offense.”“I’m sure you’ll think of something clever,” she replied, not the least bit afraid. “But maybe we should focus less on the theft and more on the content, Kai.”I hated the way s

The cloaked world

Mira’s POVFive days.It had been five long, winding days since I left Blackwood.Five days of rocky paths, forested silence, and a growing pulse in my chest that guided me onward like a string tugging softly at my soul.I hadn’t seen a single bandit, nor had I been hunted by any wild beasts—not that I didn’t expect them.

Mira’s POVThe moment I stepped across the threshold of the manor, I felt it—the pulse of magic beneath my feet. It wasn’t violent or overwhelming. It was subtle, almost calming. Like the house itself was breathing.The three women who had brought me here moved ahead without speaking. I followed them into a wide parlour draped in deep forest greens and silver-stitched curtains. Soft lanterns floated midair, casting warm light across bookshelves, cauldrons, and what looked like potted herbs glowing faintly from within.Two more women were waiting inside.They looked up as I entered, smiles spreading on both their faces.“Welcome,” said the elder of the two, her silver hair braided down her back like a vine. “We’ve waited so long for this day.”I nodded politely. My heart was still pounding from everything I’d just experienced outside—the shadows, the magic, the guards, the illusion of the hidden manor. I felt like I’d stepped into a dream. One I wasn’t sure I wanted to stay in.One of
