When I walked out of the doctor's office with my test results, the hospital's advertisement screen played the scene of Brandon proposing to me. Under a dazzling starry sky, deep blue fireworks lit up the night. He wore a white suit and kneeled in a rose garden, opening a box with a diamond ring inside. The scene was so beautiful that it looked like something straight out of a romance drama. I overheard some patients' family members chatting with a nurse. "I'm really so jealous of Ms. Pace.

"I don't understand. Why did Aiden reject me? Why did the prophecy—" "Not all prophecies speak truth my child." Her voice wrapped around me like a shield,warm and terrible. "Some speak choice."

They just flowed from the tips of my finger to the rest of my body like they were a part of me. I raised my trembling hands,and the flames rose with them. "What is this?"I breathed.

When my eyes snapped open, everything had changed. The battlefield, the chaos, the enemies… It all looked distant, like it was fading into another world. I looked down at our joined hands. They were no longer normal. A silver flame—bright, glass-like, and terrifyingly beautiful was burning between our fingers. It crackled with raw supernatural heat. In the next heartbeat, the silver fire surged upward. It raced up our arms like lightning, wrapping around us completely and within seconds, Jasmine and I were swallowed in a towering blaze of silver light.

"It’s turning… She’s rejected!" The Priest of the High Flame fell to his knees, his staff clattering to the marble. His eyes were wide and fixed on the swirling red flames.
