Just as I was about to turn my gaze away, I witness Asher's hands come up to swiftly snap the neck of our driver. I scream. As the body slumps against the bonnet, then to the ground, Asher looks over at me, placing his finger against his lips. In utter disbelief, I only watch him, as he walks toward me. "Beyond that line of trees is Time's territory, another immortal. The lands have been unoccupied for the thousands of years he has been missing. It will give us the perfect place to speak alone," Asher say calmly, as if he hadn't just ended someone's life right in front of me.

“Most people keep it short.” I hesitate. “…So I could just say…” I shrug. “‘I’m afraid of heights’?” Silence. Four pairs of eyes stare back at me. “What?” I ask. Rowan snorts so hard he nearly chokes on his drink. “You?” “I don’t know!” I throw my hands into the air. “People are afraid of heights!” “They are,” Seyla agrees, smiling. “But that’s not what the fire is asking for.” “The fire doesn’t want a fear,” Lyra says gently. “It wants THE fear.”

She would find Asher, and she would make sure he understood the full truth—no more lies, no more half-truths. *** Asher’s paws sank into the soft forest floor, the scent of pine and earth grounding him as he ran deeper into the woods. The cold air whipped past him, carrying away the anger and confusion that had threatened to consume him. His wolf had taken over completely, its primal instincts guiding his path and granting him a release his human side couldn’t find.

For a moment, it was just the two of us, tethered in the storm. Then another scream shattered it, and Asher surged forward, pulling me into the heart of the burning woods. The fire cracked overhead as branches gave way, showering sparks over us. Shadows darted in every direction, but most vanished before we could catch them. The guards tried to split and flank, but Asher snapped at them, his voice carrying through the smoke. “Stay tight! No scattering, not this time.” We moved as one, a unit walking through flame and shadow, but still I felt the prickle of unseen eyes.

The red earth of the arena seemed to dance with the fire’s glow. The High Chieftess stood amongst her people, as she was a leader among friends and not their superior. Around her stood the Grand Karainas, their copper armor glistening with the fire’s light. Scarlett recognized most of them, but some looked like they had been away from the village for a long, long time. Their opaque and brittle armor gave them away.

The red dot settles against my collarbone. Steady. Confident. I meet the hunter’s gaze without flinching. He expects fear. I give him stillness. Rowan’s breathing grows heavier beside me. He feels the shift. Feels the moment stretching too thin. He leans slightly closer, his voice rough and low near my ear. “Stay behind me.” Even now. Even dying. He commands. I almost smile. He does not understand that I am the only reason he is still standing. The hunters fire.

“A long time ago.” Lucian stepped beside her. “Then lock it again.” She gazed at him, anguish in her eyes. “I’m not sure I can.” The lock squatted close to the separatist, regarding her like a proud professor. “You can, Ashra. But you won’t. Because the fire is in you now, too. And the world up above… it is cold. It is dying. The fire must return.” Kael shouted, “At what cost?! ”

Hot enough to set paper aflame. He left scorching, smoking footprints on the floor with every step. Lily and Kael both took a step back. 【WARNING: S-Rank Boss, ‘The Ashen Revenant,’ has appeared. He was burned alive in a fire. He hates all living things. His ‘Flames of Retribution’ can burn even the soul to ash.】 But I smelled nothing. Felt no heat. To me, he just looked like some poor chimney sweep after a very, very bad day.

Then, they transformed. Two massive wolves snarled and lunged, brawling in the ashes. Ash and soot clouded the air as the wolves clashed, fangs bared, fury unleashed. They didn’t stop until they were completely spent. Finally, they collapsed apart, panting, scorched and scraped. Jones slumped down, face ashen, despair written in every line on his face.
