The silver mark on my collarbone began to glow so bright that the bone-masked man had to shield his eyes. "You think you know magic?" I hissed. "You’ve been playing with shadows. I am the Weaver of Light." I slammed my hands together. A wave of pure, golden energy exploded from my palms. It hit Leo and the masked man like a physical wall. They were thrown backward across the hall, crashing into the stone pillars. I didn't wait to see if they got up. I dropped to my knees beside Alaric. "Alaric, listen to me." I grabbed his hand. It was cold and grey. "I’m going to give you everything. Every bit of light I have. Don't you dare die on me."

If he just reached a little further, if he just claimed it— He could break the beast completely. He could bend it. Dominate it. But then— Sienna’s voice cut through the storm raging in his mind. “Elior, let go.” He almost didn’t hear her. Almost. Her hand closed around his wrist. A grounding force. A reminder of who he was. Not a conqueror. Not a tyrant. With a sharp breath, Elior released his grip. The chains flickered and dissolved. The Hollow Stalker shuddered one final time before its massive form collapsed, its body melting into the earth in a swirl of black mist.

She saw an entire civilization that was simply trying to survive a cosmic winter. "Join us," a thousand voices sang in her mind. "The Bridge is open. You are the final piece of the Exodus Path (the escape route for the Architect race). Bring us to your world, and the Void will have nothing to eat but the empty stars behind us." "Elara! Fight it!" Kazimir’s voice broke through the hallucination. She felt his hand—large, warm, and real—grab her shoulder. He was shaking her, his own suit sparking as the Void’s Static Discharge (the release of built-up electrical energy) tried to fry his systems.

The forest opens into a clearing, the stars shimmering silver along the path, and I pray this time it will be different. The wind grows colder as we delve deeper into the woods. Leaves rustle overhead, carrying wisps of smoke from the burning palace. The air is thick with ash and sorrow. I can still see the faint orange glow far behind us, lingering like the dying eyes of a creature that won't close. Martha stays silent, her arms clasped tight around me, each breath trembling against my back. I sense her heartbeat—steady yet strained—as she carefully leads the horse across a narrow stone bridge; the stream beneath glimmers like liquid glass.

“Is the difference between the poor and rich still large in your kingdom?” Silence fell yet again, the King of Darkness leaning back in his chair, as I saw the humor shining in his dark eyes. Earthlian seethed from across from him, his blatant anger making his face red. It almost thrilled me to see him like that, to see him being lectured by someone. Even if I had only been in a room with him for less than an hour, something told me—maybe a gut feeling—that he wasn’t a nice person. “You’re saying that there isn’t a difference in yours?” Nicolais said, his eyes locking on Atlasnien, as he rode in on his white horse to save Earthlian.

The wolf let out a painful howl, then began to growl, eyeing me hatefully. - I will leave you alone if you'll get out of our forest. This is not your territory, and you can't kill innocent people. As you can see, sorceresses who defend life live here, it's dangerous area for you.- I said boldly, much more confident after I made this shield, although didn't really know how. I hadn't learned doing anything like that, but figured it must have been some sort of sorceresses defense mechanism or something like that.

Not until she reached the river bend where the Moonwell waited, its water black as memory and reflective as regret. Elijah’s sanctuary lay hidden there an underground vault beneath the waterfall where the world above still half believed in daylight. Sarah set the scroll on the ancient lectern, the carved wolves etched into wood and stone glowing faintly with magic she no longer understood. She took a moment, pressing a hand to her chest. The bloodstone pulsed, hard and unforgiving. John’s image flashed too: his gold‑veined skin, the crown cracked but still alive, his gaze determined even when darkness clawed at his soul.

“So, she is part demon? One of Dante’s sprogs that slipped through the net?” “No,” Lucas leaned forward to rest his elbows on his knees as a weary sigh escaped him. “Atlas and Amos don’t have wolf spirits remember? Chloe does; Hecate.” “Hecate? What kind of name is that?” “It’s the name of a Greek goddess. As far as we can tell, only the Wolfe line has a wolven spirit with a Greek name. Even Sierra and Alvaro don’t have them. So, how come she has one?” Lucas raised an eyebrow, hazel eyes darkening as the questions piled up. “I think we need to make a call.”

Dozens of cloaked hunters, blades drawn, crossbows gleaming with runes. At their head stood Grand Magestress Eloria, her staff blazing with celestial fire. “Step away, Kael,” she called. “That relic belongs to none. Touch it, and you awaken what even the gods refused to face.” Kael’s fingers hovered above the book. He didn’t turn. “Then maybe it’s time the gods faced him again.” Eloria’s eyes narrowed. “So be it.” She thrust her staff forward. A bolt of white flame exploded across the ridge.

As she drew closer to the little cabin in the woods, thoughts of what she had just done dissipated. Tension mounted, contrasting the usually picturesque imagery of the cabin next to the stables and her father’s workshop at the edge of the City of Pearl. There was only fear and drea
