Up at the very top, a single line beat like a heart. It wasn’t red or blue. It shone clear white—a diamond’s color. “Chapter 100,” Maya whispered, breathless. “But I can’t read the title. It’s too far.”

She can see Clara, who is watching everything and learning the behavior before the language. She can see Rosa's tenth bowl on the shelf. She can see the smooth ceiling.

Anyways, flower, I think it's time to call it a night." ********************************************************************************************* Rose

Zara felt the weight of the bloodroot’s light against her skin, as if it waited to judge the choice she had not yet made. When she emerged from the Hollow, dawn bled pale across the horizon. The mist had thinned, but the air carried a restless hum, like strings drawn tight before a storm. Maxim’s presence brushed her mind—warm, desperate, aching. Come back to me. Her throat closed. I’m coming, she answered silently. But the flower warned us. The eclipse will ask for more than strength. Far away, the first birds broke into song, their notes sharp against the heavy air.

Her mother had agreed to consider it, she shouldn’t harp on it, knowing when to stop was the best course of action. "My little girl has really grown up..." Her mother whispered in a resigned tone, pointing towards the basement stairs: "Go get me the basket over there for later when I trim the flowers. It's where we hang our things." Without suspecting her mother's words, Flora walked in that direction. Just as she reached the top of the stairs, a loud noise echoed from behind.

I tried to think of the ugliest things I could imagine. Then, as if on cue, Ralph stirred. Something had woken Cael. “Go check on him now,” I heard. “What’s wrong, Ralph?” I dashed out, my bed was empty. Heart hammering, I rushed for the door. That’s when I saw it: the plant Mum had cared for so long, now blooming. And the rain… pouring down in torrents. Rain. After twenty years of drought, rain. Could it be? The prophecy: “Flowers will bloom, the rain will fall at the wake of the chosen. The earth will be fertilized…”
