The Chancellor’s gaze settled fully on Kendrick.

“Please,” he said, his tone controlled but firm, “explain this gift to us.”

Every eye in the hall snapped toward Kendrick.

The silence that followed was heavy—expectant, dangerous, suffocating. It pressed against his chest like a weight. Whispers hovered at the edges, waiting to explode.

Kendrick stood there, hands loosely at his sides, suddenly uncertain.

The truth was painfully simple.

He didn’t know what the gift truly was.

He had never opened

    The Truth About AureliaSainz stared at Elyon as blood slowly ran from the corner of his mouth. For the first time since they had encountered him, he no longer looked untouchable. His clothes were torn, his face was pale, and one hand was pressed against a deep wound across his chest.Aurelia stood between them.She was no longer the tiny baby Sainz had been carrying only moments ago. She looked like a young woman in her early twenties, with long silver hair flowing around her shoulders and emerald eyes that carried a sadness far older than her face.Sainz could barely speak."Aurelia."The young woman turned toward her."Mother."Sainz's heart tightened."Is this really you?"Aurelia nodded."Yes.""But you're a baby.""I am.""Then how are you standing here?"Aurelia smiled sadly."Because this isn't the present."Sainz looked around the ruined world."Then what is it?""The past."Elyon slowly stood upright."Don't listen to her."Aurelia looked at him."You've been saying that fo

    The Last DoorThe scream beyond creation lasted only a few seconds, but its echo traveled through every world. The golden book trembled in the empty chamber, and the blank page on its final chapter began glowing with a strange silver light.Sainz stared at the closed book."What was that?"The First Mother's voice answered from somewhere beyond the white chamber."Fear."Avarion frowned."Whose fear?""The fear of the one who believed the ending belonged to him."The book opened again.This time, the pages turned by themselves.Faster.Faster.Until they stopped at a page containing a single sentence.THE ENDING CANNOT BE WRITTEN WHILE THE AUTHOR REMAINS.Sainz stared at it."Who is the author?"The First Mother did not answer.Grandfather slowly stepped forward."I think I know."Everyone looked at him.He pointed toward the book."The Original."Sainz shook her head."No."Grandfather looked at her."Why?""Because the Original said it was leaving.""It did.""Then why would it stil

    The Final Chapter BeginsThe words echoed through every world.The child has chosen.For a moment, nothing happened. The Garden remained quiet, its flowers glowing beneath the restored sky while Aurelia slept peacefully in Sainz's arms. Yet beyond the Garden, across countless universes, ancient beings lifted their heads at exactly the same time.Kings stopped speaking.Architects stopped creating.Warriors lowered their weapons.Children woke from their sleep without knowing why.Everywhere, people felt the same strange sensation.Something had changed.Sainz stood beneath the Tree of Tomorrow and watched the golden leaf disappear into Aurelia's tiny hand. The leaf did not burn or dissolve. Instead, it became a small golden mark over the child's heart.Grandfather stared at it."That's impossible."Kendrick sighed."You really need a new word."Grandfather ignored him."The mark has never existed before."Chronos stepped closer."Then perhaps it isn't part of the Garden."Grandfather

    The Ones Who RememberThe Garden remained completely silent after Aurelia spoke. The ancient voice that had come from the tiny child was gone, leaving only the soft sound of the wind moving through the flowers. Her eyes slowly returned to their normal emerald color, and she looked around innocently as though she had no idea what had just happened.Sainz held her closer."Aurelia?"The baby smiled and reached toward her mother's face."Ma."Sainz swallowed hard.It was the same child.The same tiny hands.The same innocent smile.Yet everyone had heard that other voice.Avarion looked toward Grandfather."What did she mean?"Grandfather did not answer."Grandfather."He finally looked at them."I don't know."Kendrick sighed."Of course."But this time nobody laughed.Chronos was staring at the Tree of Tomorrow."The golden leaf is still there."Sainz followed his gaze.The leaf continued glowing above them."What does it mean?"Chronos stepped closer."I've studied the Tree of Tomorr

    The Child Beneath the TreeThe tiny golden seed remained hidden beneath the roots of the Tree of Tomorrow long after Sainz and the others had left the Garden's heart. The Garden had returned to its former beauty, perhaps even becoming brighter than it had ever been, but something about the small seed was different from everything surrounding it. It did not glow like the other seeds. It carried no visible mark, no name, and no memory. Yet every time the Garden's heart beat, the seed answered with a faint pulse of its own.Boom.The seed glowed.Boom.The seed moved.Then, with the third heartbeat, a tiny crack appeared across its golden surface.Far away, Sainz suddenly stopped walking.Avarion noticed immediately."What happened?"She turned toward the Garden behind them."I don't know."Grandfather looked back as well.His smile disappeared."What is it?"Sainz placed a hand against her chest."I felt something."Ren frowned."Something dangerous?"She shook her head."No.""Somethi

    The Choice That Created ItselfSainz remained completely still as the emerald light slowly faded around her. The place where the First Sainz had stood was now empty, yet Sainz could still feel her presence inside the Garden's heartbeat. It was not a voice or a memory anymore. It was something deeper, something that felt like a part of her had finally returned home.Everyone was staring at her.Avarion was the first to move. He walked toward her and gently took her hand."Whatever that thing says, you are still you."Sainz looked at him."But what if I don't even know what I am?""Then we'll figure it out."His answer was immediate."You don't have to understand your entire existence today."Ren nodded."He's right."Star smiled."We've followed you through worse."Kendrick sighed."Much worse."Lyra laughed softly."And somehow we're still alive."The little girl stepped closer and held Sainz's other hand."You saved me."Sainz looked down at her."That doesn't make me special.""It
