A strange scent filled the air—cold, ancient, not of wolf or human. Then the whisper came—clear, soft, chilling. “The Moon’s Flame... the world will burn or bow for you...” Crystal stumbled back. The figure did not move. The whisper brushed her ear again, curling around her mind like smoke. “Soon, little flame. Soon you will choose... light or ruin"

I poured the circle of salt and oil. Then I lit the fire. It didn’t start gently. No delicate flicker, no struggling smoke. It roared—alive before the match even reached the earth.

Not normal flame, silver, alive, wrapping my hands like liquid light. It burned without heat, shimmered without smoke. It wasn’t me controlling it, it was as if it recognized the danger and acted on its own. The rogue screamed, stumbling back as the silver fire lashed out, grazing his chest.

Mason finished him with a brutal kick.
