I am not your pawn!” she proclaimed, raising her hands as a warm golden light erupted, pushing back against the darkness. The tree quaked, the ground beneath them rumbling as the whispers rose to a panic. “Foolish child!” the voices screeched, bitterness bleeding into their tone. “You will regret this defiance!” In that moment, the whispers recoiled, withdrawing into the veil, and the shimmering curtain writhed as if in agony.

The Orchard above groaned. The acolytes fell to their knees, clutching their throats as if hands of smoke strangled them. Mira screamed, though no sound carried beyond the chamber. The Bloodstone cracked. From its fracture seeped a light neither red nor black but something in-between—something like the color of pain made flesh.

As Bianca mounted the steps leading to her command vehicle, the wind carried something distant, an echo of laughter, faint and cold. Matteo froze. “Did you hear that?” Bianca turned slowly toward the sea. Through the thick mist, a crimson light pulsed beneath the waves. Rowena’s voice drifted faintly on the wind, twisted by the roar of the storm. “You can’t march against what’s already inside you, sister.” The crimson light spread, a pulse becoming a rhythm like a second heartbeat echoing the first. Bianca’s expression didn’t falter, but her knuckles whitened around the railing. “Then let it bleed,” she whispered.

My lazy stepbrother, Derek Lane, suddenly becomes the hardest-working person in the village. He cuts weeds, carries buckets of manure, and works the fields. Nothing seems too difficult for him. But while he works, cuts suddenly appear on my hands. The carrying pole rubs my shoulders raw. Even the soles of my feet split open. I have no idea what kind of dark magic he uses, but every injury he suffers is somehow transferred onto me. After spending an entire day laboring under the blazing sun, he remains full of energy.

“You must bind your new self. Bleed it into the earth. If the Moon has chosen you, she must accept you.” Elira took the blade without flinching. She drew it across her palm—clean and precise. The blood that spilled was not red. It shimmered silver. The earth drank it eagerly. And the grove answered. --- A beam of moonlight split the sky—thick, physical, like a pillar descending from the heavens. It struck the circle’s center, sending a wave of heat outward.
