Watching. Waiting. We reached the northern ridge on the fifth day. The air turned dry and hot, even though snow still clung to the rocks. It shouldn’t have been possible — heat and frost in the same breath — but as we climbed the last hill, the answer appeared before us. The Ember Plains. A vast expanse of cracked earth stretched beyond the horizon, glowing faintly with veins of molten light beneath the surface. Waves of heat shimmered through the air, but above it, dark clouds churned like a stor

The more she learned, the worse it seemed. “It is elegant,” she admitted one night. “Whoever created this knew exactly what they were doing. They wanted to erase us without killing us.” Three months later, half a million people were infected. Then Ember caught the plague. She woke one morning confused and frightened. “Who am I?” she asked the attendants. “You are Ember. Leader of Sanctuary.” “I do not remember that.” The attendants tried explaining her life, her achievements, her beliefs. But Ember looked at them with suspicion.

She takes a deep breath, “I heard a loud, resonant crack, followed by a big splash. The three eldest are in the water. They come up and make it to the shore, but they are soaked through, and we younger ones have no idea what to do. Netty and Emmy try to rub them warm, but they’re so cold. They got tired, and I didn’t know that you have to stay awake, so we let them rest. We stayed with them, but one by one they slipped away until we were sitting there with three corpses.”

They are led to the throne room where the queen of the witches sits. A woman steps forward and approaches the group. “Hello Rex, welcome back and who are they? So I can introduce them to the queen? " asks the woman. “I am Hector. Nice to meet you,” says Hector. “I am Ash. Lovely to meet you,.” says Ash. “I am Ruby, beautiful dress, .” says Ruby. The woman smiles and steps back. “My queen: Rex, Hector, Ash and Ruby from Ember City,” says the woman. The queen motions them forward. Hector and Rex come forward. Ash and Ruby stay back a few feet. All bow lightly out of respect for the queen.

She yawned, stretching her tired hands. Her phone beeped, and she reached into her pocket, smiling at the caller ID. “Emily?” she called, feeling warmth despite the odd feelings she had earlier. Her sadness disappeared in no time. “It’s late already, probably 4 pm,” she said, stopping in her tracks. “You found a place already?” “Yes,” Emily replied from across the call. “Your dad is with me. California seemed perfect to start a new life. We saw an apartment that you will like.”

Chapter 14 A Mother's Journey Three months later.. Rose and Alma arrive on the bus into the Historic city of New Orleans. The air is sweet with a hint of magic the city is known for. They gather their bags and wave down a taxi to their rooms, which the tribal elders had booked in advance.

Emerson. Emerson’s head was smashed up against the window of her moms SUV as the air conditioner blasted her long white blonde hair around in her face. She caught herself wondering why it was so hot when the summers in this town were supposedly mild, or so said the weather when she looked it up before the move.

They’d been driving all day from their previous home in Southern California.

And the Mer were moving to intercept the enemy, not to attack the town. He decided to take the information back to the Emissary so that her meeting could be cut short and she could seek shelter. As he rose again above the cloud cover, he saw a flicker of flame. It was far away but he knew and immediately changed direction. He could see from Ember’s flight pattern that she was exhausted. Her wings and hair looked dull, extinguished, and her face pale. Her clothing was ragged, and the exposed skin was bruised and scraped, and unhealed. He caught her to him as soon as he could, and she sobbed as she gripped his neck. There was something strapped across her body that was lumpy between them.

Elian and Eltan murmured, and I nodded. It was goodbye to my family, and hopefully, the beginning of a new one with me and Ember. ___ Ember Corbin My whole body was aching, and my eyelids were too heavy for me to open. I tried to move but stopped when I felt a sharp pain in my stomach. I tried to open my eyes, and this time... I succeeded. The first thing that welcomed me was a golden evening ray from outside. Where am I? I looked at my right and left sides but found no one. It wasn’t shocking to me because I had no one to be there by my side. Whom was I expecting? Maybe I expected too much from Lance.
