I began hesitantly, " what exactly is a spirit animal for? I mean, why do we have them?" Merilla stopped and turned to face me with a warm smile. " A spirit animal is more than just a companion, Meara. When someone is born with elemental powers, the Moon Goddess grants them a spirit animal as a lifelong partner. This animal is there to guide them, to help them stay on the right path. As the person’s elemental powers grow and evolve, so does their spirit animal. It changes form, becoming a new animal that better represents the person’s personality and their connection to their element at that point in their life."

Méah panicked. "Méah, you were not supposed to live. You only live because of the three spirits that used to inhabit your body. It was the reason why you become the heir of destruction because you managed to restore your own spirit, giving you four pulses. When my former master, Draea become a prisoner of the black crystal, Purple Smoke, she found you as a perfect puppet and took advantage of my friends' powers," Jidah sadly said. "No! I'm not going anywhere! I want to live! I want to be with Keir!" Méah refused as she stepped away from Jidah.

She’s probably never had macaroni and cheese with cut-up hotdogs in them. The sound of Vivian and Bernadette fade away – the door opens and closes, and I’m left in silence. Alone. Finally. But I don’t feel like crying any more. I don’t feel like hiding. Suddenly, I’m bitter. I feel the bitterness and anger eat away at my humiliation, hardening my skin. People like me are just ants for her to squish. For her to hold a magnifying glass and say “oh, how cute” as she burns us to death.

the spirit explains calmly. I press my hands to either side of my face. She’s been working with Atari? “I’m so confused…” “I would touch Kastriv and he would go into some strange state that would allow Atari to infiltrate his mind,” she explains. I close my eyes, the information hitting me square in the chest. Kastriv and I couldn’t think about why the spirit was reaching out to him…now it makes sense, although that reality is more disturbing than I thought. “You’ve got to be kidding me,” I growl, pacing back and forth.

“God of heaven!! Unto whom the Spirits of the righteous are made perfect, you gave us the order to raise altars unto you in this citadel; come Oh King!! Come and unveil, expose the satanic vessels you promised to make known their assignments in this citadel, Come!! Come!! Come!!! Jesus Come!!” Soon, shouts and falling were the order, the prayer warriors were immediately carrying them to the front of the chapel prefect. He lays his hands on them and prays for them. Suddenly at a time, there was a strong repulsion from one of them, and not just repulsion, the chapel prefect was shoved down by the huge boy. Much attention was not given to the two until a thick loud voice was heard and everywher

“We move in small steps. We build anchors. We teach watchers. We use the mirror as a tool, not as a temptation.” Ugarh put a hand on my shoulder. “Then keep at it. Do not let greatness rush you. Let patience hold your hand.” I nodded. His words felt like a steady hand on the wheel of a ship. That evening we received a message. A woman who had led a small circle of spirit worshipers in the east had been captured and she spoke of a name — Adolfa. She said Adolfa appeared to her in a dream and taught her a song that could pull a child into silence.

Caelthorn stood between the cradle and the stolen wolves, half-merged and shaking, his golden eyes fixed on the darkness unfolding beside Maelor’s light. The ancient spirit rose higher, shaped like a feathered crown, a wolf skull, and a child’s shadow all twisted into one old hunger. It pressed itself toward Maelor’s tiny glow, trying to wrap around the cry before the baby could understand that the sound belonged to him. “No,” I whispered, placing both burned hands on the cradle edge while the black feathers sliced the air around my wrists. “This cry is his breath, not your doorway.” The spirit turned toward me, and the nursery filled with a cold thought that did not need a mouth to speak.

Pieces of the circle broke apart as the runes still glowed faintly with the energy of the trap that had nearly swallowed Sol seconds earlier. Sol grabbed my arm immediately, his grip strong and grounding. Spirit energy flared faintly around him, shimmering like heat rising from sun-baked stone. “Everyone close,” he said quickly. “I’m taking us out.” The air around him began to ripple as the Spirit Realm responded to his call. “No!” My voice cut through the chaos. Everyone froze. Sol turned toward me immediately. There were no questions in his eyes. Just trust. “There are kids here,” I said.
