She held it out for me. I walked over and took it. Opened the first page. The writing looked ancient, older than anything the Elder archives had. The kind of script someone uses when they need to write everything they know into a space much too small. I read the first line. Everything, clearing, dawn, first wolves, Vael’s people, Rhydian at my shoulder, it all went unearthly quiet. I read it again. “Rhydian,” I said. He leaned in over my shoulder. I heard his breath catch.

She turned to me, her voice softening. “Ma’am, do you need any help?” Following her gaze, I looked down at my clothes. Blood from my nose had dripped onto them. It looked like a mess. I nodded, raising a hand to wipe the blood away. Then I turned around and followed a server to the lounge.

No sound. Only the red moon above. A perfect, bleeding eye in the sky. The pendant pulsed once, then burned hot against my chest. The Veil was opening. The world blurred I fell. My body dissolved, scattered like ash, until I wasn’t sure what I was. Then solid ground. I gasped as I hit it hard, I was in the Veil. The trees twisted toward the sky like they were trying to escape. The stars blinked. Shadows moved on their own, whispering fragments of names, some mine. Some not.

“Enjoy your temporary victory, Vanes. Because the real story has only just begun.” She stepped out into the dark night, beneath the light drizzle that had begun to fall. She didn’t know where she was going, but one thing was certain—she had Clarisa, and she had a talent that Dewangga could never take away from her. In the distance, the headlights of a luxury car approached, and Serena knew—Haris Nasution would never let his greatest rival fall so easily. “Mom, where are we going?” Clarisa asked, tightening her grip.

"Time is money for us. You know what happens when you cross me." Alfred's face flushed a deep crimson. He knew all too well the dire consequences.
