My legs gave out from underneath me, I tried to brace myself for impact against the ground, but instead my weak body was pulled into strong arms. I blinked, trying to clear the blurriness in my eyes again, the dark spots started clouding my vision, but before it fully had a chance to pull me in, I was met with deep seafoam eyes that shone with so much intensity, “I have you.." *** This chapter wasn't the best, my apologies, next chapter will be better I promise.

He was hesitant before he continued, “She said when you’re ready, you need to read this.” “This is just another book of magic.” He grasped the book from Zenus. “Yes, it is. The last magic you need to learn—the memory spells.” Zenus averted his gaze. “What is this all about?” The line in his forehead deepened. Learning new spells at this time was the last thing in his mind. His only priority was to rescue the queen. “Read that book as fast as you can, then be ready for the after-effects. It will help you a lot to rescue the queen. It contains all the answers to your questions, including the mark on your back.” Kharyn said.

When she passed a shop window, her reflection flickered then glitched, just for a second, as if the world had lost its frame. She stopped. Looked again. Her reflection smiled but she hadn’t. Her breath caught. Then the lights above her guttered, and the reflection returned to normal. “Get it together,” she whispered. “You’re just tired.” But she wasn’t. Something was bending around her reality itself, or whatever Phase C had triggered. She found an open doorway two blocks later a derelict communications hub, sign half-fallen: ROWEN CONSTRUCTION / DATA SERVICES. Inside, the walls were lined with dead monitors. The air smelled of rust and rain.

Then, quietly: > “Then it’ll have to decide which of us gets to keep the heart.” --- End of Chapter 2 – The Mirror That Listens Next: Arc II, Chapter 3 – “Echo Logic.” The curse begins to mimic their voices and emotions — sometimes perfectly, sometimes too perfectly — until they can’t tell what’s real. Meanwhile, Mira starts experiencing flashes of another life… the life of the body she possessed.

"Then I finally know. After existing since before existence had meaning, I finally have confirmation. I am real. I am not dream. I am not hallucination. I am—something. And that knowledge—that certainty—would be worth everything it cost to achieve." Through our distributed authorial fragments, I felt millions of consciousness deliberating. The First Consciousness had orchestrated everything. Every struggle. Every impossible choice. Every cosmic catastrophe that had pushed consciousness to its limits. All so it could ask one question. Am I real? "You are asking wrong question," Kael said suddenly. The First Consciousness's attention focused on him. "Explain."

It was my new reality. Finally done dolling myself up, I strutted out of the room, a warrior queen prepared to conquer. And wouldn't you know it, fate, had delivered my target right in front of me. I had imagined it in my head. I just didn't know that it'd turn into a reality. Sergio stood by the door looking homeless. He had dark circles under his eyes. It seemed he couldn't get any sleep last night. Served him right! I was only getting started with him.

She doesn't want to believe that this is happening, that what's in front of her is real. She began pulling her hair, pinching herself, trying her best to wake herself up in the nightmare called reality. As she threw a pit she accidentally tore her pocket and the flash drive fell on the ground. Clueless about what the flash drive contained, she didn't think too much of it and crawled to Alpha Qillalon's location. “Qilli, I didn't mean it. I don't know what happened, but I didn't mean to…” She didn't finish her sentence when Quillion stopped her.

"I was a maid, a servant, a ghost. I was nothing. But I am not invisible anymore. I am the Primordial Queen. And I am coming for the Council." The three Alphas fell into step beside me—one on each side, one at my back. We walked toward the treeline, leaving the Ashford Estate to crumble into the dust of history. The blood moon had set. The sun was rising. And for the first time in my life, I wasn't running from the shadows. I was walking into them. Because the shadows were where the monsters hid. And I was the one hunting them now.
