Rain And Petals Eavesdrop Novels & Stories

​The rain in Crestview didn’t just fall; it punished. It was a cold, rhythmic assault that turned the city’s soot-stained streets into a labyrinth of grey slush.

Lady Elira Rain lashes my face like needles as I claw my way up the final embankment, mud slick beneath my palms. My lungs burn—not from exhaustion, but from the sheer relief of it. Open air. Sky.

He didn’t check the thermal signatures of the treeline. He simply walked to the center of the clearing, tilted his head back, and let the rain—the soft, persistent drizzle of the Northwest—fall onto his face. "It doesn't feel like data," he said, his voice a low vibration that seemed to harmonize with the wind. "In the penthouse, the rain on the glass was just a sound. Here... it’s a weight. It’s cold. It’s here."

It was as if the very air had changed. But Petal was nowhere near Elysium Haven or the temple. She stood in the flower garden, staring out at the cliff, the soft sound of the river cascading below filling the quiet night.

After that, Jace returned to his room. Rain had looked around for the door panels leading to the garden but couldn't find them. Just as she was about to give up and return to the dressing room, Rain saw pieces of flower petals blowing in the wind. There is a fragrant aroma that tickles her nostrils.

My only option was to ask everyone around us, but when every single person gave a different answer, I already knew the truth.
