“You seek answers. But are you prepared to bear the weight of truth?” Damian’s hand hovered near the knife at his belt. “She can handle it.” The Keeper chuckled, the sound dry as dust. “We shall see.” He raised one hand, and the book on the altar flipped open on its own. The moment my eyes landed on the words, a sharp pain pierced my mind. Images flooded my vision—a past long buried. --- A Vision of the Past I saw a city, its towers gleaming beneath twin moons. Not of this world—something older, something lost.

Its face was hidden beneath a hood, but when it spoke, its voice was layered - one moment male, the next female, the next something inhuman. "You have come at last." A shiver crawled down Nicola’s spine. "Who are you?" The figure lifted its head just enough for her to see the glint of silver eyes beneath the hood. "I am the Keeper of the Lost," it said. "The guardian of what was stolen. And you… are the one who seeks the truth." Nicola’s breath caught. Elias stepped forward. "She has come to understand what lies ahead." The Keeper tilted its head, as if studying her. Then it gestured to the altar. "Then she must remember."

Bring Edwin back and have him take over the throne. Killing Kieran's father was easy. I knew he was never going to suspect me. The door open slightly disturbing me. " What is it?" I asked " It is Alpha Kieran." she said moving closer. " What about him?" " He seems he is injured and might be at the brink of death." she replied That was enough to get my attention. " No! He can't die now." I snapped, throwing the book I was holding into the glass in front of me.

The city that had vanished when the roads broke. The city that apparently now contained mysterious underground lights and moving buildings. Excellent. Normal. Completely reasonable. Corin watched the glow quietly. His lantern staff resting against one shoulder. Mira stood beside him. Two Watchkeepers. Two survivors. Two people who had spent centuries keeping faith with roads that no longer existed. The sight made my chest ache. In a good way. A hopeful way. A story way. The best kind. Noah closed another journal. A disturbing milestone. "How far is it?"

The world waited. The sky remained fractured. Reality trembled. And at the center of the ancient seal, Nova stood surrounded by silver and golden light. The City of Lost Possibilities had fully awakened. Its countless towers shone like stars. Its streets pulsed with ancient power. Its frozen citizens watched silently from every corner. Waiting. Witnessing. Remembering. Before her stood the Third Silence. The embodiment of endings. The destroyer of possibilities. The being who had once terrified existence itself.

Hold her tight. And in the darkness, surrounded by the city that's trying to destroy us, I finally stop running. Because the woman I was supposed to destroy is the only woman I want to build something with. And that's a truth worth dying for. End of Chapter 100

I said. “Alessia,” Lucia added. “Promise me something.” “What?” “Don’t go home alone if it’s late and please be careful, the city is filled with bad people.” The call ended. I lowered my phone just as a black car rolled slowly past the curb. Tinted windows. The same car. It slowed. Paused. Then drove off. My heart pounded violently, just like it had the night before.

After my sister-in-law Lydia had my brother Caleb's kidney removed and spent three years draining his blood, he escaped back to our hometown barely alive. He lay on a bed at the clinic, holding my hand tight as he said, "Noah, don't go after them. You can't afford to cross Lydia's family." Three days later, he died in my arms. I buried him on the hillside behind the town, under the old oak tree he had loved to climb as a child. On the seventh day after I buried him, a black Maybach stopped at the edge of town. Lydia got out with a frail man who looked like he could fall over at any time. She stood outside my house's door and looked at me. "Noah, where's your brother? Tell him to come o

The page revealed the man’s mark. A wolf beneath three waves. Shigure dropped to one knee. “The first king.” Raiken seized the book. “How?” The glass cut his palm. Blood touched the page. New words appeared. THE RESTORED KING REQUIRES THE LAST QUEEN’S LIFE. The archive doors slammed shut. Every broken crown turned toward me.
