The One
It wraps around Thalos’s foundation like silk over stone.
Valen steps forward. He says nothing. He never does at moments like this. His eyes meet mine, and that’s all we need. He ignites. Flames spill from his palms, licking the edge of the circle, racing along the carved runes like a fuse. The magic doesn’t burn but rather refines. It scorches away what’s broken, what’s weak, what would try to bend the barrier’s will. Valen’s fire is not meant to destroy, but to seal, to burn away the old world so a new one can rise in its place. The flames roar upward, dancing like wild serpents across the wind.
