The air around them split with pressure, like the world itself was caught between their wills. “Still pretending to be a sun, young mistress?” Celeste’s voice dripped with venomous mirth. She lifted her hand, and a column of void fire surged upward, black at the core and ringed with sickly blue. “You burn bright, but you always burn out. Like you always do. Admit it, Victoria.. You need me.” Victoria’s lips curled into a snarl. “You talk too much.”

Celeste’s point of view I could not keep my eyes open and kept nodding off. I leaned my head up on the seatbelt. My mom was talking about what we should do for the rest of the day. “Mom I’m not sure I have to pick up my last pay check and go get the last few things for boot camp.” Kryptonite by three doors down was playing on the radio and I was just about to fall back asleep. “ Oh my God Celeste!!! Brace yourself!!” My mother screamed.

Screaming in panic, she was thrown into the boiling liquid, and the phoenix flew away, unable to continue to see what was happening. She flees for a long time, finding no place where Gary could be, until in the distance she sees what looks like a small castle. When she manages to approach, she looks for all the open windows, looking and looking for Lucifron's fireheart, until after some time, she sees a figure sitting at the window looking at the stars.

“Gregor, they will think you’re crazy if you say it. I mean, seriously think about it. WE are the ones created from star dust. The ones to seed a planet from another, and it took thousands of years for that to happen. Every time we kiss, the sky lights up with a show delivered by the heavens itself. The fact it is also my birthday is just another random fact to throw in there. It is a truly crazy story, and no one would believe you if you said it.” “I am crazy, though.” He said. “At least the entire world got a show on your birthday.” “And so did I.,” she replied. “A pretty good one at that. A nice birthday present from things which at least remembered what today was.” “Oh, you think?” he as

Celeste woke to the smell of smoke. The smoke was not the soft one that circulated the cottage hearth. This was thick, black, and acrid, like metal burning. Celeste shot up, her instincts kicking in before her brain did. She crossed to the window. The sky was red. It wasn't dawn. This was a fierce red glow from the pack's gate, like something was burning and the sound she had mistaken in her sleep for wind was not wind at all.

“She has survived longer than expected.” I wanted to shrink away, but my body betrayed me. My lips parted, my chest rose as though my very lungs belonged to her command. Celeste stepped forward, her perfume blooming around me, jasmine, smoke, and copper. Fingers tipped with crimson lacquer lifted my chin. "Look at me, girl."

The flames died down as if realizing containment. Smoke billowed, but the bonfire splintered, then fell, leaving only scattered embers and ash in the hushed clearing. It was silent. I stood alone among charred wood and broken stone. 💫

I knew this was not the time for that, I just knew. Yet, my shame still sat heavy inside of me. My brain chased its thoughts around in circles, and I was just beginning to feel the heaviness in my eyes. The pain, fear, and everything combined began to blur into darkness, and I fell asleep. Celeste’s POV The fire crackled low in Callister's room. I sat on the edge of her velvet chaise, legs crossed, with a glass of wine in one hand. The air still carried traces of blood and injured pride.

I lunged for her, but Liam held me back. ​“Nora, the doors are closing!” ​“She’s one of them, Liam! She’s my daughter too!” ​“I was never meant for the Earth, Sister,” Celeste whispered. “I was the bridge. And the bridge is finished.” ​She pulled the lever. The life-pod hissed and detached, launched into the void by the final breath of the freighter’s engines. ​Through the small window of the pod, I watched the freighter become a streak of fire across the sky. And in the center of that fire, a tiny, violet light flickered once, then went out.
