The Witch’s Inquiry

Nadia’s POVThe new Triarchy marks hummed on our skin, a constant, warm reminder of our unity. For three days, there was peace. We fell into our roles. Noah met with captains, his commands clear and fair. Neal charmed a visiting trade envoy, securing a better deal for our grain. I walked the gardens with Moonshade elders, listening to their stories, weaving our histories together.We were winning. Then, Maya began her tests.It started with Neal.He woke up screaming.I shot upright in bed. Noah was already on his feet, a knife in his hand. Neal was sitting, drenched in cold sweat, his eyes wide and wild, staring at nothing.“Neal! What is it?” I reached for him, but he flinched away from my touch.“Don’t,” he gasped, his voice raw. He scrambled out of bed, pacing the room, running his hands through his hair.“A dream?” Noah asked, his voice low, alert.“It wasn’t a dream,” Neal whispered. “It was real. I could smell it. Feel it.” He stopped, finally looking at me, his green eyes fill

The Forgotten Prophecy

Nadia’s POVThe mental wards worked. The nightmares stopped. The cold whispers faded. But the quiet felt worse. Maya was a scientist. She had poked us, noted our reactions, and withdrawn to her lab. What was she building?“We cannot just wait for her next move,” I said to Elias the next morning. We were in the quiet library, sunlight streaming on dusty books. “We need to understand what she sees when she looks at us. She called me a crucible. What does that mean?”Elias ran a hand over an old, leather-bound book. “Our histories are full of forgotten things. The Dawnfire line was old when the Whitemores were young. There are prophecies even I only know as whispers.”“We need more than whispers,” I said. “We need words.”So we began the dig. Elias pulled crumbling scrolls from sealed Dawnfire chests. I sent a request to Noah to open the deepest Whitemore vaults, the ones that held things older than their pack.For two days, we lived in dust and faded ink. My eyes burned. We found nothin

The Offer

Nadia’s POVThe knowledge of the prophecy and the Trial sat inside me like a live coal. It was all we talked about for days. Arguing in circles.“It’s too dangerous,” Noah would say, his face like granite. “We have no guide. No one living has done it. We could be walking into our own destruction.”“Staying as we are is also destruction,” Neal would fire back. “Just slower! Maya is going to keep picking at us until she finds a way in. This fusion… it’s the only door she can’t unlock.”I was trapped in the middle. The part of me that was still a scared girl, a reborn ghost, wanted to hide. The part that was my mother’s daughter, a Dawnfire, wanted to fight. But to fight meant risking the two hearts I loved most.I went to the one place I could think: the restored Hidden Spring. Elias was tending the flowers, the silver water glowing peacefully. I just sat by the edge, trailing my fingers in the warm light, trying to find an answer in its depths.“You look heavy, daughter,” Elias said so

The Strike at the Heart

Nadia's POVThree days passed after Maya's offer. Three days of waiting. Three days of watching shadows. Three days of holding my breath.Nothing came.No nightmares. No whispers. No strange gifts on the gate. The quiet was worse than the attacks. It felt like the silence before a wave crashes on the shore. You know it's coming. You just don't know when."We can't live like this," Neal said at breakfast. He pushed his eggs around his plate, not eating. "Waiting for her to punch. I'd rather she just punched.""Patience," Noah said, but his jaw was tight. He wasn't eating either.I was about to answer when a sharp, burning pain exploded behind my eyes.I dropped my fork. It clattered against the plate."Nadia?" Neal's hand was on my arm.The pain wasn't in my head. It was in my soul. A tearing, pulling sensation, like someone had grabbed a thread inside my chest and was yanking it out."It's… it's happening," I gasped. The silver marks on my arms flared bright, then dimmed, then flared
