I asked, as though I know all his cars. "There. "He pointed to a blue-black Buggati La Voiture Noire. "That Bugatti La Voiture Noire?" I asked to be sure. He snapped at the question, he moved to the car, and opened it for me, quietly, I hopped in. He sat down and started the ignition. This isn't a dream, just like marriage, it's real. "What are you thinking of?" His question of which interrupts my thoughts.

“You would be Thaelen Gulgane.” “Talen Gawaine, at present,” he corrected, amused by her use of the name. “Sigrid has been speaking my secrets.” “Writing,” the priestess replied. “Sigrid prefers to write, and her letters are astonishingly beautiful, true works of art.” “Hmm,” he chuckled. “Yes, she spent considerable time developing her handwriting over the centuries. She believes that literacy is true sign of refinement.” “She is very refined then,” the women stepped to her door, indicating for him to follow her into the elegant hallway. Sage and beeswax greeted him within the cool interior.

It's a sigil. “No,” I whispered, dropping down beside her. “Not this, and not now.” “What the hell is that?” Adrian hissed, eyes wide. Audrey gasped, her back arching. “It’s burning…oh my god, it’s—” The glow spread, curling across her chest in jagged lines, forming something ancient, something I’d only seen once, carved into hunter steel. The sigil of the Catalyst. Adrian swore under his breath, stumbling back. I grabbed her, holding her against me even though the heat scorched my hands.

“I never saw his face. He wore the sigil. That was all.” Elowen froze. “What sigil?” The spy fumbled at their collar with shaking fingers and produced a small disc, no larger than a coin. They dropped it to the floor. Elowen’s breath caught. He knew that symbol. It was carved deep and clean, lines intersecting in a shape that mirrored the arch from the eastern wildlands. The forgotten seal. The mark was tied to soul shaping, not guiding. It was very old magic. “You should not have this,” Elowen whispered.

Thinking if he should explain everything or leave out some pieces of information. “What I can tell you now is that this Sigil does belong to this Academy, a long time ago. It was removed from the official houses for selection since the criteria to be selected is very stringent that out of a million students who came over the years of recruitment, not more than 10 people got into this house.”

She felt them hum within her veins. “This place,” Kaelen said finally, guiding his horse to a halt. “Do you feel it?” Serenya slid from her saddle, boots sinking into the dew-soaked grass. Her heart thudded. The stars above seemed to bend, their light funneling toward a ridge. She stepped closer, her breath catching. There, carved into the stone face of the ridge, was a sigil—an eclipse encircled by stars. The very mark she had seen on her wrist since childhood.

The liquid burns as it enters my bloodstream—not painful exactly, but deeply uncomfortable, like ice and fire mixing in my veins. Then she places her hand on my lower abdomen, and I feel warmth spreading beneath her palm. "The sigil is forming," she murmurs. "Hold still." The warmth becomes heat, then pressure, then a strange tingling sensation that makes me want to squirm away. But I hold still. After what feels like an eternity but is probably only thirty seconds, she pulls her hand back. "Done. The sigil is in place." I look down to see a faint silver mark just below my navel—intricate, beautiful, like Celtic knotwork mixed with moon phases.

THE ARCHITECT XENIA'S POV The sigil appeared to belong on my table.Even after hours of exposure to the warm chamber air, it remains cold, sharp, and black. A triangle enclosing a circle. No letters. Not a mark. Only a sign. However, it was crucial. Before vanishing into the woods, Jarin had handed it to me.I'm not sorry. No supplication for pity. Just a heads up: "You're not finished yet." He was correct.
