He was still stone-faced even while telling his own traumatizing story. “We were more than twenty and they took us high up in the mountains. Everyday, the Mahan killed one of us in a unique way. My nurse was left on top of a big bush full of thorns. Her clothes were caught deep within the thorns so when they called the lions, she couldn’t escape. My personal squire was fed to the wolves that swarmed the camp one night. The son of one of my king’s trusted friends was used as wood to the fire that burned the bodies of our guards. And my brother was left to die on the iced mountains—”

The sadness in her tone was heavy, matching the gloom of the ruins. I signaled the advance. If the outside looked neglected, the interior was a graveyard of memories. It was silent…..unnervingly so. How am I supposed to find the eldest woman in a ghost town? A heavy thud startled me. I spun around to see Novel sliding from Kitty’s back, hitting the dirt. I rushed to her side, my heart hammering against my ribs. I wanted to roar at the wolf, who at least had the grace to look guilty, but the sight of Novel’s pale, unconscious face silenced my anger.

"They're dead. You didn't give them peace; you gave them a cemetery and called it a city." The Original finally turned her head, her silver-rimmed irises locking onto my scarred face with a look of genuine pity. "You have such a narrow perspective, clone. You think the 'Grit' is a badge of honor. You think the hunger, the dirt, and the struggle made you real. But the 'Grit' was just a design flaw. An environmental contaminant that corrupted the 'Genesis' baseline when Elena first brought the 'Source' to the mainland."

Gritting my teeth, I shoved the buggy past the obstacle with everything I had. The fire was closing in; the wind felt like a giant arm pushing me, the air tasted burnt, heat pressing from every side. Hands gripping the wheel, foot hammering the gas, every bump screamed at me: this wasn’t a game. This was survival. Finally, up ahead, a slightly smoother, wider path appeared. A glimpse of escape. Mud splattered all over the buggy, my arms burned like lead, but the fawn in my arms was safe. It nudged my chest softly, and I exhaled a tiny, shaky breath.

Finally, Clara’s foot struck something solid. Not a wet metal rung, but a heavy, flat steel grating. "I'm down!" she called out, her voice echoing in a wider space. "Julian, I'm on a platform!" A second later, Julian’s boots hit the grating beside her. The moment his feet found the solid floor, his knees buckled. He didn't fall—his pride wouldn't allow it—but he slumped heavily against the rough concrete wall of the landing, his left hand clutching his shattered right arm close to his chest. His face was entirely devoid of color, his skin slick with a cold, shock-induced sweat.

We were halfway there. Griz hit the ground hard and rolled. I lost my grip and tumbled off his back and hit the snow violently, the blanket no longer on me. I stood shouted Griz’s name, running to him. He lowered himself and I leaped on to his back as he turned to face the guards that had boiled out of the jail and the castle.

"It’s a reminder. That even the things built for war can be turned into something that keeps people alive. We just have to be willing to ask." Alexander looked at the horizon, where the first hint of a winter sun was beginning to touch the jagged peaks of the East. The city was warm, the water was clear, and the grain was in the silos. They were still broken, still scarred, and still fighting a world that wanted them dead. But as the warmth spread through his limbs, Alexander Vance knew that they had earned another day. And in the Grit, another day was all that mattered.

I don't have clean words for the next part. I remember my mum’s hand crushed in mine, her voice in my ear, you were born fighting and so were they, go, go, my girl. I remember Grace on the other side, white as paper, holding my other hand and swearing under her breath like a sailor and not once letting go. I remember pain that stopped being pain and became a kind of work, the hardest work of my life, a thing my whole body had been built for and broken over and was finally, finally allowed to finish.

continued Evelina, “of course, came to us, but only to find out if anyone was offending us or maybe chatting something curious, but he preferred clean women, so don’t worry! I just didn’t have words, and I shut my mouth, not without effort swallowing what, in principle, could be, and even had already been proven by Alyosha, my older brother by father. “Grisha,” Evelina continued as if nothing had happened, “was a very kind boy. He fought, as I already told you, often, but he always said that it was on business. He also loved animals very much. He constantly dragged someone to us with the girls.
