Your skin feels fever-hot even in this cold tower. If the Veil of Stars is stirring those troubling dreams or making the magic press on you too heavily… I’m still right here. I trust you, Elara.

I won’t let anything come between us.”

The sky was a bleeding wound. The rift widened like a mouth pulling apart the heavens, vomiting darkness and static.

The world stood firm, its golden horizon glowing with the strength of their choices, its stone humming with Agnes’s song. The stars above no longer fell, their white light softened, woven into the sky like threads in a tapestry.
