Chapter 91: The City That Opened Its Eyes

The river ran uphill.It climbed the white stone terraces in a slow, impossible current, defying gravity as though the world had forgotten which way water was supposed to fall. Seven drops hung above the black ledge on the far shore. One by one, they turned black as ink, trembled in midair, and fell back into the river.The water shuddered.Then lights began appearing behind the windows of the white towers.One window.Ten.A hundred.They weren't flames. They were lamps being lit, floor by floor, in houses that had been dead for centuries.Maelin seized my sleeve."We need to move. Now."But I barely heard her.Figures were emerging from the archways and narrow streets. Hundreds of them. A woman carrying a wicker basket. An old man standing outside a bakery. A boy holding the hand of a smaller child. Some wore coarse homespun clothing, while others were dressed in embroidered silks that had gone out of fashion long before my grandmother was born.None of them cast shadows.They stood

Chapter 92: My Grandmother’s Lie

Maelin led us through Velmora without touching anything.The city’s white streets curved between towers that should have been beautiful. Water climbed through channels beside the road, flowing upward toward a sky that did not move. Figures stood outside homes and shops, frozen inside memories of ordinary lives.

The figure stepped into the street.It wore Caleb’s face, but nothing else about it belonged to him. Its eyes were empty—smooth black, without silver or reflection—and its steps were too precise, each foot placed exactly where the frozen stones seemed to expect it.A dark line circled its throat like a chain.Caleb moved in front of me. “Everyone stay back.”The echo stopped beneath a dead lantern. Its mouth curved into Caleb’s familiar smile, made cruel by the empty eyes.“You still believe the mark makes you the Keeper,” it said.Caleb’s hand tightened around his blade. “What are you?”“The shape the Gate remembers.” The echo tilted its head. “Not your twin. Not a living man. A memory given form when you touched the threshold.”My gaze snapped to Caleb’s bare hand. The blue mark glowed faintly beneath his skin.Maelin stepped between the echo and the rest of us. “It cannot cross the city’s outer boundary. If it reaches the living world, the Gate will recognize every Keeper descendan
