Leonardo said The puzzle pieces finally clicked together, Rowan didn’t just want a war, he was playing a game of monopoly and he is using his political leverage to the clear the board I leaned forward, placing my elbows on the table, the ruthless, predatory darkness entirely consuming my thoughts. “ We need to strike back, and I intend to hit Rowan where it hurts most” I said.

“Witness the end of balance. Witness the birth of something eternal.” The ground beneath me rose, lifting me high above the chasm as pillars of black stone erupted upward, forming a throne forged from the bones of the world itself. I sat upon it. King of ruin. King of what comes after. Far away, I felt Aria scream. I felt Kaelen’s rage explode outward, his power surging violently in response, clashing uselessly against the tide. Too late. Even if they stopped me now, the damage was done. The underworld was open.

They sipped from crystal goblets, murmured idle gossip, and smiled with empty eyes. This was not war. It was entertainment. At the far end, above all others, on a high black platform... the throne. Ragnar. He sat like a god carved from darkness. Blood-red silk draped over his broad shoulders. His crown glinted like polished death, a cruel band of jagged obsidian and bone. The throne itself was a grotesque monument, fashioned from twisted iron and broken swords, fragments of shields, and bones bleached white with time. He didn’t speak.

Her knees trembled. But she stayed upright. “You don’t get to default to destruction,” she said through clenched teeth. The system responded— Sharp. Immediate.

"But Liam isn't a prize to be traded back and forth. He is a man with a broken heart. He comes here because I don't ask him to be anyone else. I don't remind him of the person he used to be before his life turned into a lie." "He said he fell in love with a lie," I whispered. "He is hurting, Maya," Sarah said. She reached up and wiped a tear from my cheek. Her touch was so gentle it hurt. "And you are hurting too. But you cannot beg someone to love you. Love isn't something you can demand back because you are lonely." "I just want my family back," I said. "Family is built on trust," Sarah said softly. "Once that is gone, the house falls down.

Kael’s grip tightened around my hand instinctively. The Queen looked toward him gently. “So I destroyed the second throne before the Trial could finish.” Another memory erupted violently outward. The first ruler reaching desperately for her while the second throne shattered apart beneath silver moonlight. “Please,” he begged brokenly. “Do not do this.” The Queen cried openly while existence collapsed around them. “I would rather lose eternity than lose you.” Then she destroyed the throne.
