THE ROOFTOP SENTENCE

Third person limited (Serna's eyes)Ironfang rooftop, two days after everyone heard the heartbeats"You SOLD it." Serna had the healer by the hair, dragging her up the stairs toward the roof access. "You sold information about the twins.""I didn't—I was just TALKING, I didn't think—" The healer's name was Maris or Maren or something, Serna couldn't remember and didn't care."Talking to who?" Serna kicked the roof door open, pulled Maris through. Wind hit them hard, cold enough to sting."Just—just some of Tarian's old officers, they wanted to KNOW if the Sleepers were—" Maris tried to dig her heels in but Serna kept dragging."And you TOLD them." Serna's voice came out flat. "Told them about the pregnancy, about the twins being alive.""They already KNEW, everyone knows after—after you played the heartbeats for the whole fortress." Maris was crying now, snot running into her mouth."They knew BEFORE that." Rhea appeared at the roof door with a piece of paper. "Found this in her quart

TRAITORS FALL

Third person limited (Serna's eyes)Ironfang rooftop, two days after everyone heard the heartbeats"Found this in her quarters." Rhea dropped a piece of parchment on the war table, ink still fresh enough to smudge.Serna picked it up, read it once, twice, brain not processing the words right. "She WROTE to them?""To Tarian's berserkers." Rhea's voice went flat. "Told them about the twins, how far along, when the guard rotations change.""Which healer?" Kaelin was already on her feet, knife in hand."Maris." Rhea said the name like spitting. "The one who helped stitch Lyra after the bond split."Serna's vision went red at the edges, everything narrowing down to that single name. "Where is she?""Supply room, organizing bandages like nothing HAPPENED." Rhea pushed away from the table. "Want me to—""No." Serna was already moving toward the door. "I got this."Down the hall, boots hitting stone too loud, people pressing against walls when they saw her face. Into the supply room where M

A YEAR OF WAITING

Third person limited (Serna's eyes)Ironfang infirmary, one year after the blood eclipse"It's been a YEAR." Kaelin stood in the doorway with three bottles of something that looked expensive, labels written in script Serna couldn't read. "One full year of them just laying there.""I know." Serna was wedged in her usual spot between the cots, hand on Lyra's belly where the twins were doing flips. "I can count days.""So we're drinking." Kaelin set the bottles on the medicine cabinet with three dull thuds. "We're drinking and we're—we're doing SOMETHING cause I can't just sit here sober on the anniversary of—"Her voice cracked apart and she stopped talking, just started opening bottles instead."What'd you bring?" Rhea appeared behind her, already reaching for one."Honey-mead from the deep cellars." Kaelin passed her a bottle. "The good stuff, aged twenty years, probably worth more than this whole wing.""Perfect." Rhea took a long pull, didn't even wince. "Let's drink expensive shit

THREE DAYS AFTER THE ANNIVERSARY

Three days after the anniversary"INCOMING." Someone screamed it from the roof, voice raw with panic.Serna looked up from where she was checking Lyra's stitches, saw the shadow arc across the sky. Boulder the size of a barrel, spinning lazy through the air."GET DOWN." She threw herself over Lyra's cot, felt the impact shake the whole building.Stone exploded somewhere above, chunks of ceiling crashing down. Dust filled the room, thick enough to choke on."They're using CATAPULTS." Kaelin was at the window, staring out. "Three of them, maybe four, positioned on the ridge.""How many berserkers?" Rhea appeared in the doorway already armed, blood on her knuckles from something."Fifty I can see." Kaelin pulled back from the window. "Probably more coming."Another boulder hit, this one closer. The whole infirmary shuddered, walls cracking."They're trying to breach the roof." Serna looked at the ceiling, at the fresh cracks spreading like spider webs. "Drop debris on us til we have to e

THE KICK THAT BROKE HER

Five days after the catapult assault"How the fuck does blood even—okay this is disgusting." Kaelin was yanking at the sheet under Lyra, half of it glued down with dried whatever. "When did anyone last—never mind I don't wanna know."Serna was slumped against the wall snoring like a drunk, bandage on her thigh soaked through again. Her head kept dropping forward then jerking back up."Idiot keeps walking on it." Kaelin finally ripped the sheet free, sent dust everywhere. "Like you can just ignore a spear hole through your leg."She grabbed a clean sheet, shook it out. Started trying to get it under Lyra without flipping her over like a corpse. "Alright gonna lift you just—just a bit here—"Lyra's belly MOVED.Not the flutter thing. HARD. Like someone inside swung a fist as hard as they could.Kaelin froze. "What the—"It happened again. Other side. THUMP against her hands."Holy shit—"Both at once and Lyra's whole stomach jumped, two separate bumps shoving out."Oh fuck—" Kaelin drop

BLOOD PRICE

Eight days after the twins kicked hard"They're executing prisoners." The scout was out of breath, hands shaking. "Blue Moon pack, in the square, they're—they're doing it PUBLIC."Serna looked up from where she was changing the bandage on her thigh, leg still a mess. "How many?""Started with two this morning." The scout swallowed hard. "Gonna do more tonight, they're calling it cleansing the curse blood or some shit—""How many prisoners TOTAL?" Serna cut him off."Maybe six? Seven? Hard to tell they're all chained together in this cart—""Where exactly?" Serna was already standing, testing weight on her bad leg. It held. Barely."Central square, near the old market. They got a platform set up, making a whole show of it—""Rhea." Serna looked at her in the corner. "How many can we take?""For a rescue?" Rhea stood up. "Maybe ten fighters if we're lucky. Most everyone's still recovering from the assault.""Ten's enough." Serna grabbed her knives, started strapping them on. "We go toni

TOO SOON

Eleven days after the night raid"Serna wake UP." Elira's voice came out all high and wrong.Serna jerked awake, neck stiff from sleeping against the wall. "What?""Her belly just—look at it—" Elira had both hands on Lyra's stomach.Serna crawled over, put her hand next to Elira's. The belly was hard as stone under her palm, tight and wrong."What the fuck is that?" "Contraction." Elira's face had gone white. "That's a contraction.""She's only seven months." Serna pressed harder. "Babies don't come at seven months.""Her body doesn't CARE—" Elira was already yanking drawers open, bottles crashing to the floor.The belly released, went soft again. Serna counted in her head. Got to forty-three before it went hard again."Shit." Elira dropped two bottles trying to open a third. "Shit shit SHIT—""How do we stop it?" Serna kept her palm flat on the belly."Herbs maybe, there's—fuck where is the raspberry leaf—" More bottles hitting the floor."ELIRA—""I'm TRYING—" Elira found something

THE TOMB

Four days after the contractions stopped"You can't come in." Serna stood in the infirmary doorway with both knives drawn, blocking Kaelin."What do you mean I can't come IN?" Kaelin had a tray of food, was staring at Serna like she'd grown horns. "I've been coming in twice a day for a YEAR—""Not anymore." Serna's voice came out flat. "Nobody comes in except Elira for medical checks.""Serna what the fuck—""Too many people." Serna shifted her grip on the knives. "Too many chances for something to go wrong. So nobody comes in.""I'm not NOBODY—" Kaelin's voice went sharp. "I've been sitting with them since this started—""And now you're done." Serna started closing the door. "Leave the food, I'll get it later.""SERNA—" Kaelin shoved her boot in the doorway. "You can't just lock everyone OUT—""I can and I am." Serna kicked her boot out, slammed the door. Dropped the bar across it."SERNA OPEN THIS DOOR—" Kaelin was pounding on it now.Serna turned away, walked back to the cots. Lyra

BLINK

Six days after they pulled Serna out"You're too skinny." Kaelin was trying to get Aziel to drink water, tilting his head back, dribbling it into his mouth. "I can feel your ribs through the blanket."Most of it ran down his chin. She wiped it with her sleeve, tried again."Lyra's doing better than you." Kaelin glanced across at the other cot where Serna was spooning broth into Lyra's mouth. "Well. Better's relative. She's swallowing more anyway."She got a few drops in. Aziel's throat worked, swallowed on reflex."There. See?" Kaelin set the cup down, adjusted his pillow. "Not that hard."His eyes opened.Kaelin stopped breathing. Just stopped completely.They were OPEN. Actually fucking open. Staring up at the ceiling or maybe through it or maybe at nothing but they were OPEN."Aziel?" Her voice came out like she'd been strangled. "Can you hear me?"Nothing. Eyes just staring. Not blinking. Not moving. Not seeing her even though she was right there."Aziel if you can hear me blink."
