The cradle pulsed.Not with light. Not with movement. But with something older—like memory curling inside a breath. The sanctum where Elira had been born no longer sat still. It breathed. Stones shifted without touch. Shadows blinked without source. Beneath the surface of the earth, something vast had awakened—and it was listening.Zara leaned heavily against the arched window, her healing robe damp with sweat. Days had passed since the Hollow Eye fell. Since fire and blood gave birth to a child who did not cry, but watched. Now the girl slept in a woven nest of starlight thread, guarded by runes etched in ruby and silver. Yet Zara could feel it—the shifting hum beneath her bones. Something had broken. Or been born.She clutched her abdomen, not from pain, but because something echoed there. Not contraction. Not ache. A pull—as if the cradle was singing to her womb, to the same spark that once carried the girl now cradled in flame.“She dreams with her eyes open,” Ruby whispered behin

The mirror shattered with a whisper.Not a crash. Not a scream. Just a soft, breathless exhale—as though time itself sighed through the glass.Zara stood frozen, bare feet rooted to the cracked marble. She hadn't meant to touch it. The mirror had sat untouched for decades in the southern sanctum, framed by the bones of old wolf-queens and the sigils of vanished bloodlines. No reflection had lived inside it since her mother's death. But now, as the final shard fell to the floor, the silver within rippled.And something stepped out.Not someone.Someones.Zara gasped.They moved in a spiral. Not physical bodies, but echoes—like oil on water, like dreams half-remembered. Each one bore her face. Or versions of it. A warrior queen cloaked in antlers. A peacekeeper crowned in feathers. A girl no older than Elira, cradling a sword taller than herself. And then, one more—a woman cloaked in starlight, her eyes twin embers."These are your echoes," came a voice. Not hers. Not quite.Zara turned

The crib was empty.Zara’s breath caught in her throat as she stood frozen in the nursery. The moon-thread cradle rocked slightly, as if Elira had only just left. No sign of intrusion. No broken wards. Just stillness and a faint scent of lavender and smoke.Kael burst in behind her, eyes already glowing. "Where is she?"Zara didn’t answer. She couldn’t. Her mind was reaching beyond the walls, past the Vale, past the physical—searching for a thread, a spark, anything that felt like her daughter.Ruby entered last, sword sheathed but tense. Her gaze swept the room once, then locked onto the spiral of ash beneath the cradle."She drew something before she left," Ruby said quietly.Zara dropped to her knees. The ash wasn’t random. It was a perfect spiral, each loop pulsing faintly with leftover energy. Stars shimmered in the ash—constellations that didn’t belong to any known sky."She didn’t vanish," Zara whispered. "She walked."Six months had passed since Elira’s birth. She shouldn’t ha

It began with a howl that wasn't a howl.The sound split the sky at dawn—not carried by wind, not born of throat or fang, but from the very seams of the world. It echoed across the cliffs of the Vale, silver and strange, weaving through clouds like a warning or a song. Zara rose from her seat before she even realized she’d moved. Elira, already awake, was perched at the window ledge, eyes glowing softly.“They’re here,” the child whispered, voice calm as starlight. “The things I dreamed.”The air shimmered as the first one emerged.A wolf. But not like any born of fur or fang. This creature was shaped from constellations—its hide stitched from stars, breath curling with cosmic frost. It walked through solid wall and moonlight alike, silent and vast, and bowed its head toward Elira before bounding off into the woods.Zara felt Ruby beside her, sword half-drawn, and Kael’s energy thrumming in the next breath, ready to shift. But Elira raised her hand.“No,” she said gently. “Not all are

The moon had cracked.It hung in the sky like a wounded eye—bleeding light instead of shadow, fractured along lines that mirrored the marks burned into Elira’s wrist. The Vale, once still and silver in the nighttime, now thrummed with the slow pulse of war magic. It moved through the trees. It clung to the stones. And at its center, beneath the heart of the broken sky, Zara stood alone.Across from her, the Hollow Eye had taken shape once more—not just the cult, not just its followers, but the being they served. He had a face now. And a name.Rael Orien. Once a general of the old world. Now void-touched, reborn through broken prophecy and hollow flame. His armor was made of bone and screaming shadow. His presence felt like gravity reversed—like falling upward into something that had no sky, no end.“Zara Vale,” he said, voice like cracking ice across a lake about to break. “Step aside. The child is not yours to keep. She is a convergence. Let her open the Hollow fully. Let the old god
