Mia’s POVThe valley held its breath.Thousands of stone eyes stared back at us.Not empty.Not lifeless.Watching.Judging.Waiting.A cold wind swept through the ruins, carrying with it the scent of rain, old stone, and something far older—something that reminded me of forgotten prayers whispered beneath a full moon.No one moved.Not me.Not Ava.Not Brin.Not even the Shadow King.The towering figure seated upon the cracked throne slowly rose to his feet.Stone crumbled from his shoulders and shattered against the ground.Each fragment seemed to carry centuries of silence with it.His movements were slow.Deliberate.As though time itself had to remember how to flow around him.His armor was unlike anything I had ever seen.Black metal woven with silver veins.Moonlight danced across its surface while shadows curled around the edges like living smoke.A broken crown rested upon his head.One side gleamed with silver.The other was consumed by darkness.Two halves.One whole.Just

Mia’s POVThe doors closed behind us with a thunderous boom.The sound echoed through the darkness until it faded into a silence so complete that I could hear my own heartbeat.One.Two.Three.Then…Nothing.I turned instinctively toward the entrance.The massive stone doors were gone.Not closed.Gone.Only an endless wall of black stone remained.Ava frowned.“That’s… not concerning at all.”Brin walked over and knocked on the wall with the hilt of one of his blades.Solid.“I was really hoping we’d be able to run if things got ugly.”Ava folded her arms.“You’ve been hoping to run since we entered this valley.”“I call it strategic survival.”“You call everything strategic survival.”“I’ve survived, haven’t I?”Despite everything happening outside, a small laugh escaped me.It was strange.No matter how dark things became, Ava and Brin somehow found a way to remind me that we were still alive.Kael, however, wasn’t listening.His eyes scanned every corner of the chamber.His body

Mia’s POVThe girl smiled.My smile.Only colder.Crueler.As though every ounce of kindness had been carved away, leaving behind someone who looked exactly like me… but had never known hope.She stepped out of the obsidian mirror.The surface behind her rippled once before becoming perfectly still.She wore the same clothes I did.The same silver-and-black mark glowed on her wrist.The same scar rested beneath her chin.Even the strand of hair that refused to stay behind my ear was there.It was like staring into my own reflection.Except…She wasn’t breathing.I could hear my heartbeat.I could hear hers.But her chest never rose.Never fell.The Keeper of Echoes moved beside me.“Do not mistake her for your enemy.”I didn’t take my eyes off the girl.“Then what is she?”The Keeper answered quietly.“The part of you you’ve never allowed yourself to become.”The girl laughed.“That’s one way of putting it.”She folded her arms.“I prefer to think of myself as the honest version.”I f

Mia’s POVThe First Guardian’s wings stretched across the chamber.They weren’t feathered.They were made of moonlight itself.Every movement sent thousands of glowing silver fragments drifting through the air like falling stars. Wherever they landed, the black stone floor bloomed with ancient runes that pulsed with life before fading once more.I couldn’t look away.The wolf was enormous.Far larger than the Guardian Beast who had led us to the Valley.Its silver fur flowed like liquid beneath the moonlight, streaked with strands of black that shimmered like the night sky. Six magnificent wings arched behind it, each bearing scars that looked as old as the world itself.It was beautiful.And impossibly ancient.Its gaze settled on me.Not with hostility.With… curiosity.“So.”Its voice filled every corner of the chamber.“You carry the Heart.”I swallowed.“I do.”“And yet…”Its enormous head lowered slightly.“…you smell of shadow.”I glanced down at the mark on my wrist.The silve

Mia’s POVThe roar came again.This time, the entire Hall shook.Dust fell from the ceiling.Ancient stones cracked beneath our feet.The Crown of Eclipse burned against my forehead, its silver and black light pulsing in time with my heartbeat.Kael tightened his grip around my hand.“Mia…”“I know.”“No.”His eyes remained fixed on the chamber doors.“You don’t.”Another roar thundered through the Hall.The sound wasn’t coming from the doorway.It was coming from everywhere.From the walls.From beneath the floor.From inside the darkness itself.The Keeper of Echoes rose slowly.Her face had gone pale.“The seal…”The First Guardian turned toward her.“How long?”She closed her eyes.“Not long.”The Guardian’s jaw tightened.“Then the final seal has failed.”My heart dropped.“You said the Devourer was coming.”The Guardian looked at me.“It has arrived.”A deep crack split the floor.Black energy poured through it.Kael pulled me backward.The Betrayer didn’t move.He simply watche
