It’s what survived.”_ Franc’s sculptures were a testament to resilience and the beauty that can be found in brokenness.

As he cleaned the small cut with a tenderness that made Mandy’s chest ache, he spoke softly. "Listen, champ. Next time something breaks, you leave it. Don’t try to fix broken things.

Myra brushed her sleeve across her cheek. Holly gave her a soft nudge. "And me?" I added. "I lost my power. My magic keeps ghosting me. And the mate bond feels like a radio station that keeps losing signal." The bond beat....faint, like it heard me. "But fractured doesn't mean broken," I said. "It means we rebuild differently. Not with perfection. With honesty." Something in the room shifted. Not agreement.... but a willingness to listen.

“But some fractures cannot be fully repaired. We can manage them, contain them, but one spark could ignite the entire structure. And we must be ready.” Outside, the fog swirled through the towers, the valley beneath hidden beneath a blanket of gray. Inside, the fortress was quiet, but every stone, every shadow, every corner seemed aware that fractures were forming and that one misstep could be the spark that ignited them all.
