It is forbidden—older than wolves, older than kingdoms, older than memory itself. Veydris does not grant power. It consumes. It strips away the soul, devours the body, and leaves nothing but a vessel of rot and hunger. He may seem unstoppable now, but his life is burning away like a candle thrown into fire. A year, perhaps two—and when that flame dies, there will be nothing left of him but ash.”

creating a sanitized path for the Architects' ultimate judge. Silas Blackwood stood his ground, his gold-veined wolf form simmering with a intensity that pushed back the white light. He felt the "Primary Rejection" rising in his chest—the memory of the girl he had once called a "Thistle." He saw the "Ugly Truth" of her current state: she was a "Vessel of Compliance," a version of the mate that had been "Optimized" to remove the "Narrative Friction" of his own love.

“Clara wasn’t just his child. She was his other perfect creation. Your union was to be the final, elegant merge. Your rejection of that design… it was the one exception his worldview could not process. It broke him.” The picture was complete, a mind shattered by grief, rebuilt around a dogma of control, now violently enforcing that dogma on the world that had dared to deviate. This was a holy war, and they were the heretics. The Counter-Offensive Begins, The Quartet split into focused, parallel processes.

Professor Merriweather announced, “The safest methods are to use potions or spells. If the witch is strong enough, they’ll require neither. However, that opens a door of complications. Should your intentions not be clear, should they be skewed by emotion or outside forces, it’ll alter the effect of said enchantment. Of course, it’ll wear off in time. Although, objects repeatedly enchanted can sometimes take on a life of their own. Much like this text book.” As if to prove her point, the text book circled the head of the nearest student before slamming down on the desk. “Grumpy little thing, isn’t it?” Professor Merriweather tutted, her hands on her slender hips.

But the discord within me, the festering resentment that marred my understanding, threatened to disrupt the harmony I needed to foster. In moments of quiet reflection, I found myself torn between the love and admiration I held for Mommy C and the disdain that lingered, a residue of disappointment in her decisions. I knew, deep down, that she had made choices with the best intentions, yet the bitterness within me struggled to reconcile with the logic of the supernatural world.

However, when it was time for the marking ceremony to begin, Arnold—who should already have gotten on stage—decided to cancel it again at the last minute. I hurried over to take his hand in mine, but he flung me away. "The poison in Erna's hands has spread," he said. "She's in dire condition, and I must have a witch look over her. "Today's not the right time for the ceremony, so let's cancel this time. I won't leave at the last minute next time," he promised. Without hesitation, he turned away and helped Erna into a car. We'd been together for six years, and this was the 66th time he'd canceled our marking ceremony.

Cleanses minor curses and low-level mental contaminations. Is this a minor curse? Or a low-level contamination? There’s no time to debate. I uncork it and let three drops fall onto my tongue. They taste of nothing. Of static. The effect isn’t dramatic. The ravenous, mind-eating fire doesn’t vanish. It recedes. It pulls back from the edges of my mind, shrinking back into a manageable, gnawing ache in my stomach. The dizzying compulsion to eat the grass, the wood, the wall… fades.

But my core, drained from the Cloud Spire explosion and absorbing the Air Seal, had been vulnerable to the subtle, airborne venom.

And I am about to ruin it all. I lean against the cool stone, closing my eyes. This weakness of mine—it isn’t a casual preference. It’s a deep, humming current that has run beneath the surface of my life for as long as I can remember. It’s in the way my breath catches at the sight of a certain careless smile on a face still learning its angles. It’s in the vibrant, unjaded energy that radiates from young men who still believe the world is theirs to reshape. It’s not about beauty, not entirely. It’s about possibility.
