It began with an eerie, oppressive silence. Not the kind that wrapped around her as a comfort, but rather a heavy stillness that seemed to observe her every move. Autumn stood at the precipice of the graveyard, sprawling behind the aged Mirabella Estate, her dark hair fluttering gently in the unseen breeze. With her eyes shut tight, she lifted her palms toward the heavens, feeling the crisp air fill her lungs rhythmically. The cool metal of her pendant rested against her chest, a steady weight of familiarity, while The Book of the Veilwalker lay open on an ancient stone altar before her. Its pages fluttered erratically, stirred by a wind that felt wrong, alien, as if it siphoned whispers fro

“ Meara!” The whispers started again, soft but notable. I tensed, my eyes snapping open. I scanned the field, but there was no one in sight. The sound seemed to come from the tree itself, from the rustling of its leaves. I pressed my palms against the rough bark and closed my eyes, focusing on the whispers. " Come... find... me..." The words were faint but distinct. My heart raced. Was I losing my mind, or was there something more to these whispers? I stood up, brushing the dirt off my jeans, and took a few steps back. The whispers grew louder, more insistent.

When I saw the happy smile on Mom's face, I suddenly felt myself becoming lighter. I gently caressed her smiling, happy face, and I silently gave her my best wishes.

The only thing left of them was the scent of pine, musk on my skin, and the dull ache between my legs. I wrapped myself in a heavy wool blanket and sat by the fire, my body still humming from their touch. I couldn't sleep. My mind was racing. To distract myself, I picked up the silver-bound book they had left on the table. I turned the thin, yellowed pages until I reached a chapter titled "The Moon-Silence."

‘Lunaris. Cassian picked up one ring, sliding it onto my trembling finger, his thumb lingering on my hand. “For every lifetime,” he whispered softly. I took the other ring and slipped it onto his finger, smiling through tears. “And every moon that follows.” Then Grandpa Velen slipped a hand inside his coat and pulled out a mid-sized old leather book. The moment he opened it, the surrounding chatter faded until only the soft crackle of lantern flames remained. Cassian’s hand found mine, warm and steady, grounding me. I curled my fingers around his, feeling his pulse thrum through our joined hands.

Crystal's POV The silence in the room did not break all at once, it settled slowly, the open book on the table seemed heavier than it should have been, in meaning, and even though I could not read the symbols clearly. I drew in a breath and straightened slightly, forcing my thoughts back. “So what exactly is happening to me,” I asked, my voice firm I needed to hear something that made sense of everything I had been feeling.

"An Author has joined the Silence." The lighthouse door slowly opened on its own. Darkness poured out like smoke. Then... a calm voice drifted across the empty shore.

The other Wednesday had become the day the book arrived. Ernest made coffee. He brought Don a cup. They sat in silence. The fire was not lit—it was morning, the fire would be lit in the evening. The kitchen was cold in the way kitchens in February were cold, the cold that came through the stone floor and the old windows and the walls that had been standing for centuries.
