Nine enormous symbols appeared above the city. Eight were dark. One glowed brightly. The man looked at Elara.

"Anything else?" "No." I signed my name on the first copy, then the second, and pushed both across the table. He signed them without theatrics, folded one neatly, and slid it into the envelope Franklin had left. "That's yours to keep," he said. I tucked it into my bag. For a moment, neither of us spoke; the city outside the window was still mostly asleep, and the quiet pressed in around us like something alive. "So," I said, breaking it, "what happens now?"

“We’ll protect her together.” Maika exhaled, her heart pinching. Carl nodded. “Then it’s settled,” Maika said gently. “The announcement will be made within the week.” And as the cold wind howled outside, the four of them sat silently in the glass room—each bearing the weight of a future too dangerous to take lightly. ---- The Grand Hall of the High Council, Citadel of Elaris The Council of Nine sat in their usual circle—hooded, ageless, and cold-eyed.

The book was under the possession of the keepers, they have nine artifacts, sealed, hidden, and protected by each channel of the keepers. He has known this information back when he was a member of the organization, it was thought to them. There are nine Seals attached to each artifact, once broken all of the upper tiers of the keepers (Their officers and highest-ranking officials) will be notified by the assigned protectors of each Seal.

I asked again, accentuating the last 3 words clearly. He handed me the letter where I could see the back of it. A golden stamped wax seal held the envelope closed.

The lords in the north are moving their coin, but we need the Seal. The State Seal. Without it, the orders to open the border gates are just scrap paper." "The Seal?"

" Lucy shot me a disapproving look at once. Then she softened her voice and coaxed Steven for quite a while before finally hanging up. She suppressed the impatience in her tone and said, "Zack, do you think I don't know you? You can't live without me. That kind of threat doesn't scare me at all. Enough, okay? I don't have time to argue with you. Let's get this over with. Don't keep Steve waiting." The moment Lucy dismissed me, the last trace of reluctance in my heart disappeared. I handed the documents to the clerk. After checking them, the clerk issued our ninth divorce certificate to Lucy and me. At the end, she chuckled and said.
