Veil of Secrets
Two days had gone by, but the questions didn’t relent.
I couldn’t scrub the threads from my brain, the sequencing of Thornveil with Umbraen deathwork, the precision of bloodline locks, the intent. This wasn’t raw magic stitched together with scorched fingers. It had been theorized, tested, and rewritten. Iterated. And if the Interregnum had truly attempted to carve a new life from the hollow left by dragons, someone had to have known. Someone with the clearance to those levels of arcane theory. Someone who had been alive long enough to recall what wasn’t cataloged.
Professor Dana.
