The sedan jolted down a dirt track. Smoke from cooking fires tangled with the scent of fever and despair. A mother knelt in the dust, cradling a boy no older than five. Purple lesions bloomed across his neck. His breath hitched—a fragile bird trapped in a cage of bone. Evola.

The fire spread quickly, and I felt the painful burns on my skin. The heavy smoke was also stinging my eyes and making me choke. I wanted to run, but I was still chained up, and there was nowhere I could go. Was I finally going to die this time? But maybe it was for the best.

I had been standing in the blazing sun for what felt like an eternity, and it seemed like the sun was trying to cook me alive.

“Who knew the trump card of the Sun had such an impactful terror. Their wealth is immeasurable, much more so than ours!” Spout said with a smile. After a few days' work, the Khan had looted everything they could from the Sun. Spout sat on the Khan throne, and smiled brightly at his subjects. “Indeed! After our little insurrection, our clan had risen far beyond what was once thought possible!” a leader said. “Now, we have both Skyfall and the mayor having our backs, who’d dare try anything against us?” another chipped in.

Thousands of Solar Wolves circled a vast ritual site carved into the earth itself—a colossal sun sigil glowing molten yellow. Their howls blended into a chilling chant, vibrating the very stones beneath her paws. “They’re nearly done,” Selene whispered beside her, her white fur stained with soot and streaks of blood. “If they succeed in summoning Solis fully, this world will burn.”

I collapsed onto the moss: my energy spent: my skin steaming with the remnant heat. Ignis watched me with a stunned, unblinking awe.
