through the Bio-Ships, attempting to rewrite the crew's DNA into a blank slate. "They’re trying to 'Bleach' us!" Lucas shouted, his arm vibrating with a high-frequency lunar-chime. "They’re hitting us with 'Zero-State' radiation! The ship’s pulse is slowing down!" Audrey closed her eyes, sinking deeper into the neural-helm. "Give them the 'Soot.' Give them the 'Steam.' Don't let the ship be silent. We are the 'Static' in their silence."

Eryx roared, his prehistoric fur bristling as the first Mute-Bomb detonated a mile away. Suddenly, I felt a section of the Southern pack go dark. Then the East. The "Noise" was being cut off by a Wall of Artificial Silence. The corporate world saw the Global Awakening as a "Security Threat to Asset Stability," and they were moving to Quarantine the Miracle. "They want the silence?" I growled, my violet-silver eyes turning into two bleeding cracks of crimson starlight. "Then let’s give them the Loudest Silence they’ve ever heard." I didn't fight the Jammers. I Overloaded them.

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.

“We wait until they breach the cloud layer. When you see the whites of their engines, you fire everything we have. We are not aiming for a kill; we are aiming for a distraction.” ​I turned to the horizon. The Fallow, usually a vibrant, emerald sea, had gone dark. The leaves were curled tight, the bioluminescence extinguished as if the forest itself were holding its breath. But beneath the silence, I could feel a vibration.

A distant rumble shook the heavens. The crack above the city widened slightly. Everyone looked up. The darkness beyond reality was moving. Watching. Waiting. The First Silence. Nova felt it immediately. Not fear. Not anger. Curiosity. The First Silence was observing. Learning. Like it always had. The Third Silence noticed too. His expression hardened. "He's here." The First Memory nodded. "Yes." The city grew brighter. Silver light flooded the horizon. Then the world became quiet. Perfectly quiet. Every sound vanished.
