Gold lettering had long since faded, but one sentence remained etched across the front: My secret thoughts. I couldn't see the Authors name though. Just the title. “Is that a diary?” I whispered. “Looks like it.” "Belonging to who?" I asked but Ingrid shook her head.

The house is quiet. Too quiet. Everyone is gathered around the dining table, books spread everywhere like a paper explosion. But the only sound is the soft rustle of pages as I open the book I found in my room, the one Liam gave me a few days ago and I somehow forgot existed. The prophecy book. My hands shake as I flip to the page that tugged at me the moment I touched it. The page that feels like it’s been waiting for me. The ink glows faintly, silver and blue, like it recognizes me. I swallow hard and read aloud.

I don't want things to get awkward between us again". "It won't", I mumbled and then started kissing him again. I pushed him to the bed and got on top of him, I slowly took off his shirt and took my time to admire his tattoos. "You got new ink", I stated obviously.

The Child Grows POV: Nya (Narrated Epistle with Interwoven Scenes) Somewhere Beyond Time—The Ink Between Ages A warm quill glides across aged parchment. The ink does not smear—it pulses faintly, the color of volcanic gold, shifting between hues like a living ember. The hand that holds the quill is steady. Deliberate. Young, yet ancient.
