Flame. Nora stepped closer, firelight flickering along the letters as if the stone itself remembered her. Caelum’s growl was low, wary. Lucien’s lips curved, crimson still at the corner of his mouth. I laid my hand against the runes, ready to test them, when the Concord Sigil at our feet flared to life, burning brighter than it had since I drew it. The arch pulsed in answer. The stone didn’t want strength. It didn’t want a victor. It wanted us. Together.

1. The Summoning Stone Awakens The sky over the capital dimmed before dawn. Not with clouds. With omens. Ava was in the Hall of Prophecies when the Summoning Stone—buried since the beginning of the Trials—cracked open. Mareth gasped. “It’s not supposed to do that unless—” The floor beneath them pulsed. From within the shattered relic, a sigil glowed. Not one Ava recognized. Not wolf. Not witch.

Seraphina, summoning a vision of the guardians' past trials and their unwavering commitment to the Nexus, projected it towards the Guardian of the Skies, hoping to convey their sincerity. The creature, seemingly understanding, let out another hum, this time accompanied by a series of intricate aerial maneuvers, drawing patterns in the sky. Orion's voice once again echoed, "It's the Sigil of Trust, an ancient emblem. Recreate it, and the Guardian shall let you pass." The guardians, pooling their abilities, began to trace the sigil, their combined energies weaving the intricate design. As they completed it, the massive stone door of Veridia began to resonate, slowly creaking open.

The Ursa did not understand their universe’s Paths, so he could not detect the sigil James had left behind. The sigil functioned like a camera and was good for surveillance. As long as the sigil was not removed, James could easily monitor the situation within the stone chamber. James left the stone chamber, walked out of the formation, and immediately headed to Mount Fox. As suddenly as James appeared, he returned as fast as a gust of wind.

Sephora glanced at him in bewilderment. Ambrose almost laughed at her perplexed expression, and roughly explained, "I can speed up the erosion of the rock." He quickly changed the subject, instantly switching to the task at hand. Everything depended on what they did next. "Now, I must create the new Veil-Stones - but in order for them to work, you must leash them to your power and your will." Ambrose spoke sternly, making sure Sephora understood the importance of these next few steps. "Do it wrong, and the stones will drain you like they are doing for Ravyn in the Mortal world. Understand?"

" Ceres (quietly): "Then I'm not the one. Xavier is." Lady Ilven (watching her closely): "Are you so sure?" The tension hung heavy. Then Ilven reached into her satchel and retrieved a sigil—the same crimson stone she'd handed to Ceres days ago. It glowed, flickering like a heartbeat. Lady Ilven: "Place it into the seal. Just below the dragon's eye." Ceres (reluctantly): "What if it doesn't work?"

Soul jars. My fingers stopped on a page titled Ritual of Unbinding. “Yes,” I whispered. Thane returned carrying an old box. “I found the sigils. The ones we used during the War of Fire.” “Those still work?” “They should. They’re older than the Council.”

Kael caught her instantly, his arms wrapping around her as the sigil throbbed painfully. Above them— in the dark sky of the Forgotten Realm— two eyes opened. Massive. Silver-black. Staring straight at Selene. And a whisper crawled through the earth: “Little moon… Return what is mine.” Selene screamed— —and the sigil split open with a flash of silver light. --- The sigil on Selene’s chest split open in a flash of silver-black light. She screamed. Her back arched violently, her body folding into Kael’s arms as her magic exploded outward in wild, blinding waves.

By the time Silvain arrived at a run with Lyra and four fighters behind him, Marina was on the seventh stone. "Report," Silvain said. "Two signal devices. Second stone and fifth. The others are clean." She pulled her hands back from the seventh stone and stood. "They've been here for weeks. Placed before we arrived, which means someone knew the Sacred Grove was where survivors would come. Someone told Obsidian." The silence that followed had a sharp edge to it. "Can you remove them," Silvain said. "Yes. But the moment I do, the signal breaks and he knows we found them. Right now he thinks we don't know they're here." She met Silvain's eyes. "We can use that."

The Sigil of the Tower. Not painted. Not worn. Branded into his soul. A living seal—undeniable, ancient, and forbidden to falsify. The registrar took a step back. The crystal tome lit up on its own, humming in response to the sigil. “...Tower sigil confirmed.” The two magi lowered their staves, eyes averted in silent reverence. Behind him, the whispers surged. “Is that really—?” “He bears the Tower's mark directly...” “The Tower doesn’t give their sigil unless—”
