— You’re something else entirely. A woman slid into the seat across from him. Her hair was short, her eyes sharp. — You’re thinking of joining her. — she said. — I’m thinking of surviving. — Dario replied. — She’s dangerous. — So was silence. The woman handed him a phone. — Then call this number. But know this — once you’re in, there’s no going back. Dario took the phone, his fingers lingering. — Maybe that’s the point. — Back in Geneva, Amaro was pacing.

12:08 AM — Sector D, Lanterncross Silhouette Path The evening here did not drop in shadow—it settled in stages of golden light. Lanterns fashioned from the hulks of old signal casings dangled on wire arches, low enough that they swayed gently with the wind, and cast revolving silhouettes against the way. Elira moved slowly under them, her hand running along the rim of a worn orange casing. It had once been a danger beacon. Now, it shone gold with tranquil intent. One of the maintenance men walked by her, nodding, carrying a pouch of substitute bulbs. "Some of these have been used in the old relay towers. Before the rewiring." "And now?" she inquired. "They're still warnings," the worker answ

in colors that rippled like oil in water, emerald, sapphire, obsidian, and stormcloud silver. Their upper halves retained a human likeness but were touched by the ocean, luminous skin that sometimes shimmered like wet moonlight, long dark hair threaded with kelp and pearls, and eyes too bright, too deep, reflecting your worst fears or darkest desires. They could shift, unlike traditional merfolk, walking on land for a time, though their true power came from the water. On land, they were tall and ethereal, their limbs long and elegant, their movements unnaturally fluid. But the longer they stayed away from the sea, the more it cost them, cracking skin, burning thirst, the call of the tide be

Clean enough to not look like I was unraveling, even if I was. I ran a hand through my wet hair, grabbed my keys, wallet, and phone, and locked up behind me like nothing was falling apart. The parking lot was quiet. Overcast sky. That strange gray light before a storm. A breeze moved through, cool and damp, carrying the scent of rain that hadn’t started yet. Everything felt off. Like the world was holding its breath. I walked toward the car, scrolling to her name. Pressed call. No connection. Frowned and tried again. The line didn’t even ring—just a dead click before silence.

"Her immune system is weakening. The Siren's Affliction will progress faster. You must be more vigilant. Remove all hard surfaces from your home." Liam's eyes grew wet. "I understand." The doctor's words only solidified his decision. The moment the door closed, he called his assistant. "Get Isla enrolled at the Institut Alpin in Switzerland. Money is no object. Handle her transfer and enrollment immediately." He turned to a dazed Elara and pulled her into a gentle hug. "It's alright, my little siren. She'll be gone. You'll never have to see her again." Elara looked up, a strange emptiness in her gaze. "Good."

Xander whirls around, his eyes wild with dread. Xander shouting: “Aria!” I look down, and my heart stops. The siren’s hand is reaching up from the sea, her grip like ice, drawing me under. “Xander! Assist!” With his sword poised, he charges at me, but the water rises and blocks his way. As I feel myself being pulled more and farther into the icy abyss, the siren's laughter reverberates all around me. "Aria, you can't get away from me," she whispered in my ear. “I will always have you.”

"Silkgaze is one of the main ingredients to the Whisperbloom antidote, but without the other ingredients it has a terrible side effect. When a victim of Whisperbloom poison smells or comes in contact with Silkgaze, said victim would become weakened and incapacitated. Which is why you ended up collapsing." "Can you cure it?" I asked, knowing she was telling the truth. It made sense with what had happened to me; my sudden weakness, my collapse, my injuries. "I've spent the last two days trying to negate the Silkgaze's side effects, but it's hard without all the ingredients," she answered.

The air inside was cool and filled with the scent of damp earth. “ Where are we?” I asked eager. “ This is the gateway to the magical realm, to Valtor.” Merilla went to sit in front of the wall, and to my amazement, all the symbols started to glow like her eyes. The earth began to shake, and the stone wall started to part, revealing a bright light. Merilla stepped into the light. " Meara, are you coming?" Her voice echoed in my mind. I wanted to move, but I was frozen in place. The brightness was overwhelming, making me hesitate.

Chapter 17 The Siren hums once more, the sound resonating throughout the room. Her eyes are locked on to Liam, whose face contorts with pain. “Stop this!” I yelled. “Strangle him.” Liam moves towards Marcus, wrapping his hands around his throat. “I said stop!” I charge at the Siren, yet she backhands me, sending me flying across the room. Subsequently, she appears to direct the Siren´s call at me. Her eyes widen in surprise, as it doesn´t appear to have any effect on me.
