But from the little I've gotten out of it, there's something called El Sombra, something that involves more than the Ivano family. I couldn't hold back my reaction. I've heard of El Sombra. The shadow. It was one of the two deepest part of the mafia underworld. A frown settled on my lips, as I leaned back into my seat.

“I’m sorry, Father, but I don’t—” “It’s no matter, Bramato,” he said, the words slicing whatever she might say into silence. He turned to her. “Our wrongs catch up to us in the end. The memories becoming as real as you, as me.” He took a step, pulling close. “Our minds obsessed with creating those worst bits of our past. Digging up long-dead corpses. Those bodies we bury deep, hoping they rot, while knowing they will again rise.” Closer now, she caught his breath, wincing at its surprising stench. Saw the dust, the dirt, coating him from the smudged tips of his black shoes to the errant strands of dark hair teasing his brow.

It was a diffuse feeling, difficult to pinpoint, but it gnawed at her like a psychic parasite.

The legends spoke of their eradication millennia ago, but could they have returned?

The skulls grin, their hollow eyes glowing like embers in the darkness, jaws unhinged as if caught in an eternal silent scream. Rotting floorboards splintered underfoot, barbed wire and thorns erupting with every step—nature itself conspiring to shackle me. Mariposas negras swarm in a dizzying cyclone, their wings shimmering with the same twin-skull pattern. A living kaleidoscope of death, slicing my arms like razors as I stagger forward. “Papi’s home, mijo.” Esteban’s voice slithers from the shadows. A caress of velvet laced with venom—a sound that promises pain wrapped in affection.

Leave her there, and I collapse. And then there was Sombra’s deal. A deal forged in desperation, in blood. I had promised them results, leverage, betrayal. One slip, one broken word, and it wouldn’t just be Hector’s hand around my throat. It would be the entire cartel, every gunman, every enforcer, every shadow they owned, closing in on me.

It was as if she had known Andrei, his essence, for a lifetime. In that sacred moment, the barriers of their individual histories dissolved, replaced by a shared understanding of their intertwined souls. Sabrina's eyes flickered with recognition, as fragmented memories, like fragments of a long-forgotten tale, emerged from the depths of her being. She could almost taste the bittersweet echoes of past encounters, the echoes of love and loss that seemed to merge with her present reality.

“…You’re joking.” Chaos shook his head. “No.” Sol sighed quietly. “They’re not.” Pamela rubbed her temples. “Fantastic.” Chaos gestured toward the silent figures around us. “These are the occupants of the Void.” “They are shadows of their former selves.” Sol frowned. “Former selves?” Chaos nodded. “Everything lost eventually finds its way here.” His voice carried strange reverence now. “Lost memories.” “Broken dreams.” “Artifacts forgotten by time.” “And sometimes…” His gaze moved across the silent figures surrounding us.

Fountains flowed upward as often as they flowed down, shaped by will as much as gravity, and the air carried the faint scent of ozone and flowering vines. Selene walked slightly ahead, listening as Briar spoke of what she had seen beyond the walls — the forests of Aether, the temples hidden in the Wilds, the slow unlearning of fear. Elora added pieces of their journey where it mattered, her voice steady as she spoke of rites and shadows and the cost of surviving both. When the Umbra were mentioned, Selene stopped. “The Umbra are gone,” she said sharply. “They were destroyed generations ago.” “They’re back,” Elora replied, meeting her gaze. “And they’re moving.”

Tears streamed down her face as she reflected on her life's journey thus far.
