EliseThe messenger's words hung in the torchlit courtyard like a blade suspended mid-fall, and for a long moment nobody moved. I felt the cold work its way up from my stomach before my mind had even finished processing what had been said. Converging. Not simply failing in separate places, the way the Eastern Reaches and the Frostbound Reaches had failed — but drawing together, deliberately, toward something.I looked at Alaric first, the way I always did now when the ground shifted beneath me, and found him already watching me, his jaw tight, his eyes carrying the particular grief of a man who had hoped, only minutes before, that the worst of this endless night might finally be behind us."Converging where," he asked the messenger, keeping his voice steady though I could feel, through the bond still humming faint and constant between us, how much that steadiness cost him.The messenger swallowed hard, clearly reluctant to be the one carrying an answer nobody in that courtyard wanted
