Of course, you can share the credit."

“But we sealed the only crypt in Bellford.” Dr. Harcourt smiled thinly. “The Ember Circle was never confined to one locale. These cells awaited the one who could rekindle the true flame and it seems they think it is you.” He handed them a small metal talisman stamped with the entwined sun and moon symbol. “Bear this. It may grant passage or draw unwanted attention.” Alexander studied the talisman. “If they mean to bind us to their old oaths” “—we refuse,” Isabelle finished, voice steady. “But we cannot ignore this.” She folded the fragments carefully. “Prepare for a journey.

The constellations above blinked out, one by one, until only a single spiral remained, a burning gold against the void.

“Then listen to me. Trust me. I promised you revenge, but in return, you have to help me.” I nodded again. He held my shoulders firmly, then lay me down. “Dim.” The sensors in the room obeyed his instructions.
