They explained that these were symbols of strength, loyalty, and unity. Then came the fire ritual. I knelt before the burning brazier. The flames licked the air, shifting color—from red to white to silver. "Speak to those who came before," the priestess said. I closed my eyes. Ancestors, Lycans of old... guide me. Give me the strength to love her well, to lead her kingdom with wisdom. Let me never take this bond for granted. A sudden warmth rushed through me, as if unseen hands rested on my shoulders.

"Of course." She left to get them. Grandmother sat back down beside me. Started packing herbs into a small bag. "Never forget what I taught you," she said quietly. "Wild sage for wounds. Tunise leaves for poison. Moonroot for—" "Fever. I know." I watched her work. "You're the only one who ever cared." "Your parents care. In their own broken way." She tied the bag closed. Pressed it into my hands. "But caring doesn't mean they know how to show it right."

The silence in the cavern felt heavier than the mountain above us. The hearth popped, dropping a hot red ember onto the hearthstone, but nobody moved. Kian’s hand was still planted on the back of my chair, his knuckles so pale the bone showed through his skin. "Say that again," Kian said, his voice dropping into a flat, terrifying whisper. Isolde didn't look at him. She reached into a small stoneware bowl beside the hearth, taking a pinch of dried sage and dropping it onto the hot coals.

the Priest intoned, his voice echoing off the high stone arches. Jordan took my hand, his grip like iron, and led me to the front. We stood before the Priest, who held a bowl of sacred moon-water and a bundle of dried sage. He began the ritual, waving the smoking sage around us in slow, rhythmic circles. The scent was thick and earthy, meant to cleanse our spirits before the final binding. He dipped his fingers into the silver bowl and flicked droplets onto our foreheads, murmuring an ancient tongue that made the hair on my arms stand up.

As if the Void itself had reached for me again—eager, patient, unrelenting. And I knew—I knew—before the vision even began that I would not be seeing my own memory. I stood—or perhaps she stood in a room that reeked of smoke and sage, where the fire in the hearth burned low but steady, its glow licking across stone walls carved with sigils I didn’t recognize but somehow felt. The air was heavy with the scent of herbs crushed in haste—lavender, pine, bitterroot—and with it, the metallic sting of blood not yet dried.

I needed to keep my mind clear. I crouched down and picked up the sage, as well as a box of matches that had been nestled in the grass beside it. I lit its end, and kept my mind clear as I waited for it to catch. Its pale green ends burned orange and red, and then I blew it out; I watched it turn cool and grey, the smoke rising as I began to waft it through the clear air.

Apparently the herb was excellent for dealing with wounds sustained by fire burns. When the two returned from their search after two days, they were greeted by the sight of the ruined city where the cultivators secluded themselves from the rest of the world. As far as their eyes could see, there were flames rising in the air. Uflyn and Orius rushed to their residence, only to find their master almost burned to a crisp. Great Sage Gotaz knew that he didn't have much time left, that's why he held on for dear life before he breathed his last breath. He had one final thing to share with his two most trusted subordinates.

The smoke that rose from the pyres wasn't black like the smoke of war. It was white, thick with the scent of cedar, sage, and rosemary. ‎ ‎We stood on the cliffs overlooking the ocean, a sacred burial ground that had been forbidden to Rogues for more than 60 years. Today, the gates were open. ‎ ‎Fifty pyres were stacked along the ridge. Fifty warriors who had paid the price for the Silver Sun. ‎ ‎But the pyre at the center was the highest.

Their deaths were a reminder of the dangers we faced, the enemies lurking in the shadows. When the names were finally done, the Pack Sage stepped forward, holding a torch. He approached the pyre slowly. He was the pack spiritualist, a loyal and dedicated servant of the Moon goddess. “We send you to the Moon Goddess,” he said, keeping his voice steady. “May your spirits find peace in her embrace, and may your sacrifice be honoured for all time.”
