Asha stared at the golden-haired woman.“You used my first life to create him?”The woman nodded, tears falling freely.“I was desperate. Your brother had been rejected, your first reflection had been separated, and the worlds I wanted to create were beginning to collapse. I believed I could preserve everything if I created someone who could remember every possibility.”Elyara looked horrified.“You used your own grandchild as the foundation for another being?”“I thought I could control what I created.”The First Witness laughed.“And you did. For a while.”His stolen names began circling his body again.“I was born with her memories, her fears and her longing. I remembered every version of Asha that never existed. I knew every world that had been abandoned. I could feel every life that had been erased.”Asha looked at him.“So you were created from my memories?”“From the part of you that feared being forgotten.”The First Witness stepped closer.“You wanted a world where everyone c

“Do not make the same mistake twice, child.”The Root’s warning echoed inside Asha’s mind.Lyra struggled against the black thread wrapped around her throat. Her hands clawed at the darkness while Karl fought to reach her.“Asha!” Lyra managed to gasp.The First Witness tightened his grip.“Choose!”Asha stood frozen.The First Witness pointed toward Karl, whose body was hanging over the opening in the floor. Damon held his brother’s wrist, but the darkness was pulling them both downward.“Save your mother, and the brothers fall. Save the brothers, and your mother dies.”Asha’s hands trembled.“No.”The First Witness smiled.“Still refusing to choose? That is how your first world ended.”The silver-eyed Root pulsed beneath her feet.Remember what you promised.Asha closed her eyes.She remembered the first world. The golden-eyed boy. The silver-haired girl. The endless darkness. She remembered standing between two people she loved while the world demanded that she sacrifice one.And s

Every heartbeat stopped.Karl’s chest became completely still. Damon collapsed against the silver staircase, while Lyra reached for Asha and found that even her own breath had vanished.The golden-haired woman stared at the little boy.“Please,” she whispered. “Don’t do this.”The child tilted his head.“Why?”His voice was gentle, almost innocent.“You taught me that everything could stop if I wanted it to.”The woman slowly descended one step.“I was wrong to teach you that.”The boy smiled.“You said I was special.”“You were.”“You said I could hear the Root.”“You could.”“You said you loved me.”The woman began crying.“I did. I still do.”The child’s smile disappeared.“Then why did you kill me?”The question echoed through the staircase.Asha looked at the golden-haired woman.“What happened to him?”The woman couldn’t answer.Elyara stepped forward, but the boy raised one finger.She froze.“Don’t come closer.”Vaelith watched him carefully.“He isn’t stopping time,” she said

The black crown pulsed above the stranger’s head.The little boy stood motionless, staring at the figure that had emerged from the darkness.“You’re not my brother,” he whispered.The stranger tilted his head.“That’s what you want to believe.”“You were born from my anger.”“And you were born from Mother’s fear. Does that make you any less real?”The question silenced him.Asha tightened her grip on Karl’s hand.“Both of you are real. But neither of you has to become what someone else made you.”The crowned figure laughed.“You speak as though you understand. You were given a life. A name. A family. I was created from a feeling nobody wanted to keep.”“Then stop letting that feeling control you,” Asha replied.His expression darkened.“You sound just like her.”He pointed at the golden-haired woman.She stepped forward, tears running down her face.“I should have protected you both.”“You should have loved us,” he answered.“I did.”“No. You loved what we could become. You were frigh

The ground split beneath Avaron’s feet.A sound like a thousand doors opening filled the chamber. The golden object shattered in his hand, releasing a wave of light that swept through the staircase.Karl fell forward.Lyra caught him.“Karl! Look at me!”His eyes opened, but his four heartbeats were no longer synchronized. One beat sounded deep and steady. Another trembled. The third pulsed with silver light.The fourth was silent.“Something is wrong,” Damon said, struggling against the chains.Karl gripped Lyra’s hand.“I can hear something beneath us.”Asha turned toward the little boy.“Is it connected to you?”He shook his head.“No. It’s connected to him.”He pointed at Avaron.The stranger had stopped smiling. His attention was fixed on the enormous crack beneath the staircase.“Impossible,” he whispered.Vaelith approached him.“What did you awaken?”Avaron backed away.“Nothing. It should have remained asleep.”Elyara’s expression darkened.“You knew something was buried bene
