Shoulder to shoulder.Steel to ash.Names ready to be remembered or erased. The valley stretched vast and hollow, scarred by old bones that jutted from the soil like history that refused burial. Around them, dead trees stood upright, never felled, never broken.The sky churned without storm.The air pressed down, thick with something older than fear.

She focused on her screen, her vision blurring, the words meaningless. The chilling realization settled deep in her bones. This wasn't an ending. It was a beginning. And Jayden was just getting started.

The Bone Garden stretched before him, vast and impossible. Where the previous chamber had contained grief liquid and flowing, this one held death made solid. White structures erupted from black soil, forming patterns that hurt to perceive directly. Not simply bones, though human and animal remains certainly featured in the grotesque landscape. Rather, these were the skeletons of concepts, the calcified remains of ideas that had lived and died across eons.

"You need to focus." He shut his eyes, his chest rising and falling rapidly. His hands clenched into fists, the veins on his arms standing out as the change began to take hold. His bones started shifting beneath his skin, and I felt a familiar chill run down my spine. I hated feeling that moment when I shifted myself. On the other side, Linc's transformation had already begun. His body twisted, the crack of bones breaking and reforming echoing through the basement.

I murmur to the sky, unsure if I’m speaking to myself… or to him. The ocean answers only with silence. But somewhere, deep in my bones, I know this isn’t the end. It’s only the beginning.

The bones skittered along the floor of the cavern, gathering together as they came towards the raised area where we were standing. By the time they reached the base, two arms had formed and began crawling up the rock. The wind picked up, whistling and moaning eerily. Maurice and Claire were clinging to each other (any excuse), and everyone was cowering. As the only person standing by the edge, I saw what was coming, but I wasn’t really worried. The bones formed a skeletal body, but the body was not particularly intimidating. Mainly because of its size.

"Your bones are where they belong. Now stop thrashing like hooked fish." Zeyric slumped forward, resting his forehead against the cool wooden table as cold sweat dripped from his chin. "You said the bond is permanent. There has to be a way to dampen the trauma, or we won't last forty-eight hours against Malakor's enforcers."

Ever since I was young, I knew that my parents' work was unique. My father was a detective who had solved many major cases, while my mother was a forensic artist who was capable of finding clues from the victim's bones. Together, they solved numerous cases.
