He quickly turned around and ran towards her. "Look out!" he shouted, but he knew the second he saw the ground beneath her turn black that she wouldn't be able to dodge in time. He quickly locked an arm around her and pulled her away just as a gusher of what looked like golden fire erupted where she had been standing.

My acquaintance asked whether I wished to attend the funeral, and I thought for a moment before I sent a modest sum for the funeral expenses. The past drifted away like smoke; I did not look back, nor did I wish to linger on it. Kenneth cooed and pointed at the windowsill, where a golden shaft of sunlight poured in, brilliant and infinite.

He had a small, golden key. "Well done," the man said. His voice was the most peaceful thing I had ever heard. "You’ve cleared the books. But you’ve also left the universe without a Banker. And someone has to keep the stars in the sky." He looked at Cian and Mina, who were standing at the edge of the rubble. "The Golden Blood is the new gold," the man said. "And I'm here to offer the children a job."

"The moment something promises that kind of reward, caution disappears. They stop seeing the danger and only see what they might gain." A bitter smile crossed his face. "To people like that, even the smallest chance is worth gambling everything." I couldn't help but laugh. The whole thing was as predictable as it was ridiculous. "If all they wanted was more power or a longer life," I said, "then they were chasing the wrong thing." I gave a small shake of my head. "The greatest opportunity was right in front of them, and they let it slip away. If they'd joined the expedition to the Stormspire Mountains back then, they might have found a divine fragment."

Each of us stood in our own corner, like two polite strangers sharing the same space. Outside, the city glowed brightly in the night. Only then did I truly feel that I had been given a second life. In this life, I only wanted one thing: to use the Falcone family’s resources to earn enough money to stand on my own and then walk away from all of this for good.

Bernard concluded. I looked around and saw excitement on everyone’s faces. This was a golden opportunity — the first of its kind — and I wanted it, too. Voughan was the pinnacle of the digital world, with the best talents and the finest equipment. Still, I tried not to get my hopes too high. Bernard might play favorites, and the Voughan office wouldn’t know if someone’s work records had been altered. This was an opportunity I had prayed for, and now it had come — but I wouldn’t go begging Bernard, as I knew others would.

“It’s for the wolves who make it possible for it to exist at all. For the people who truly keep the purpose of the gala in mind, and don’t see it as an opportunity to flaunt their wealth or affirm their status.” He was silent for a moment. His gaze remained on me, not judgemental, only attentive. “And do you think they’ll see it that way? Do you think they’ll still donate to the cause it’s meant for?” he asked softly. “I hope so,” I said. “If I do my job well — if everything fits — then maybe they will.” A faint smile appeared on his lips, without mockery. “Then I was wrong, and maybe you are the right wolf for this assignment.”
