And in the back of her mind, Nyxara whispers. Not in warning. In grim satisfaction: They’re starting to understand.

A healer named Vessa—one of the elders who had resisted Elara’s rise—stepped into the flame circle. She raised her hand toward Aryn. “Child, come back,” she whispered. Aryn didn’t move but the flame pulsed. And Vessa’s body stopped. Mid-breath. Eyes wide.

She channeled her inner energy into Arya Santanu's body by placing her palms on his chest. Slowly, Dewi's pure energy began to penetrate and spread to Arya's body.

The energy, aura and form of Arya Santanu's subconscious were dominated by the color dark red. A pool of blood appeared on the surface of the floor that Dewi Sari Kencana stepped on.
