"All right, but we should be careful. There's no telling what kind of dangers might be lurking in those ruins." Aric agreed, and they made their way cautiously into the depths of the ruins. The air was thick with dust and the musty smell of ancient stone, and the only light came from the flickering torches they carried. As they descended deeper into the ruins, they began to hear strange noises. A rustling in the shadows, a whisper on the wind. It was as if the very stones were alive and watching them. Despite their nerves, Aric and Kaida pressed on. They soon found themselves in a large chamber, the walls lined with glowing runes that pulsed with a faint, eerie light.

I needed to do something. So, I left through one of the old servant tunnels behind Hawthorne House, picking my way toward the cliffs near the ancient Aurelian chapel. Few students came out this far, even in daylight. It was condemned. Its foundation cracked with time and elemental magic, the trees around it warped and hollowed from the fires long extinguished. But it was a known scouting route. If Draven had slipped past the wards, this would be where he lingered. The frost nipped at my fingers as I stalked through the trees, the sky bruised violet beyond the horizon. Fog clung to the ground like a whispered threat. My boots were soundless on roots and ash-thin dirt. I didn’t make a sound.

Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-Two Aurelia's POV We moved deeper into the ruins, the darkness pressing in from all sides. Every corridor looked the same. Broken stone, crawling shadows, the faint drip of water echoing from somewhere ahead that we never seemed to reach no matter how far we walked. I kept my hand on my blade and my eyes forward. Torin came back from scouting ahead and fell into step beside Rylan. "Next stretch is clear," he said, keeping his voice low. "But it opens up about fifty paces out. Gives way for wider space."

I had spoken my wish aloud, my voice steady despite the storm raging in my heart. Now, standing in the dream, I felt the weight of that moment pressing down on me. The ruins seemed alive, their stones whispering secrets I wasn’t ready to hear. --- I approached the center of the ruins, the spot where the moonlight pooled like liquid silver. My heart pounded in my chest, the urgency growing with each step. "What am I searching for?" I murmured, my voice trembling. The air grew colder, the whispers of the ruins rising to a crescendo. And then, amidst the chaos, a single word cut through the noise.

“We're here.” With a thundering heart, Andrew nodded, his grip tightening on the shoulder bag he carried all the way from his home. As they approached the ruins, the structure seemed to grow in size. His son marched forward with outstretched hands as he searched for the entrance. A couple of minutes later he called out, finding it hidden under a huge rock—a manhole. “It's small,” Jean stated, inspecting its entrance. “We have to crawl inside.” Andrew swallowed his fear with a bob of his head and crouched with his heart leaping to his throat. With a grunt, he followed his son inside. Darkness swallowed them whole. With only their senses to guide, they proceeded.

I frowned. "A city?" "Older than humanity." I stopped walking. The old man continued forward. "The ruins extended for miles beneath the earth." Every instinct told me I wasn't going to like where this conversation was heading. "The deeper explorers traveled, the fewer returned." We reached the rear wall of the archive. Renn grabbed a lantern. His hands trembled. "Eventually they found a chamber." The scholar's eyes seemed distant. As though remembering something terrible. "Inside was a doorway."

Stones groaned beneath the keep. And from the heart of the ruins, something waited to be found. ---

If I have to make her understand myself… I will. I repeated those words to myself until I almost believed them. Then I walked toward the hidden room. The shattered biometric scanner had already been replaced. The new lock blinked blue as I pressed my thumb against it. The bookshelf slid aside. I stepped inside. The room looked different. The photographs were gone. The desk had been cleared too. Only the monitors remained. I walked over and looked at the largest screen. Drisana. She was pacing back and forth in the bedroom. Her lips were moving. She was talking to herself. I couldn’t hear what she was saying.

Drawing a deep breath, Amelia stepped forward once more, ready to embrace the enigma before her, every moment poised to unravel the web of destiny that awaited within the depths of the ruins.
