And Seventeen, limp in the corner, his hands chained in silver cuffs. “No,” she whispered, running to him. His eyes fluttered open. “Didn’t think… you’d come…” “I never stopped,” she said, breaking the cuffs with a snarl. The moment her fingers touched his, his body convulsed. Another signal. Another trigger. The Circle was trying to reclaim him. But this time, she was ready.

And I was starting to understand why. Their hair was either red or dark - ALL of them! - and their eyes were equally dark. I, on the other hand, could have survived the Holocaust. My hair was light like the sun, and my eyes were a blue, almost gray color that made me stick out like a sore thumb in this group.

Thank the gods for 80s power ballads. "We're never gonna make you cry," Tag continued. "We're never gonna say goodbye," I said the next line. And we're certainly never gonna tell a lie and hurt you, Thane finished the chorus. Hols looked up at Tag and me, a small smile on her face. "That was beautiful. You must have been practicing for a long time to make it rhyme even." She brushed a hand over her eye, caught the stray tears that had escaped at our untuned song.

“Pay close attention, though, for there will be…consequences for those who do not land in the Top.” Orion sighs again and lifts his head, taking a single step forward as eighteen circles appear before him – nine golden. And nine black.

She glanced at the others. Each bore the mark. Liseth bore the Eye of Time. Rian’s was a twin-bladed crescent. Jayden’s, the broken tree. Each symbol pulsed faintly, like a heartbeat. Seraphine knelt beside her, voice tight with awe and fear. “We’re… connected. I can feel you. All of you.” Orin nodded. “We’ve become a Circle.” Jayden muttered, “A Circle of fools, maybe.” “No,” Orin said, his voice calm, powerful. “The First Flame only answers those willing to give. We gave. Now it binds us, not just in power, but in purpose.”

"You only remember making a promise to me, yet you don't remember how many days and nights I spent holding on to that promise." Joseph clutched the hairpin, his hand trembling. "I can. I can remember it all." In a panic, he held the hairpin out toward me, almost touching my hair. "Let me put this on you, okay? Just like we used to…" I stepped back and avoided his hand.

The caravan laid out the cloth, fragments stitched hastily into a patchwork. Lanterns glowed even in daylight, a signal of witness. Sophia stepped into the center. “Today we test whether truth can be woven from fracture. Eris wants us to scatter. We choose to circle.” The chants began, hesitant at first, then overlapping.
