Kael woke to still air and a gray light that had no sun. He lay on the cold ground, feeling the earth’s surface like smooth glass beneath his fingers. No pulse. No warmth.

His shards floated faintly around him, dim and trembling. He blinked hard, trying to remember, flame, screaming, darkness swallowing Everett, then silence.

Everett was gone. Kael sat up fast, heart pounding in his chest. “Everett?” His voice echoed, soft but sharp, through the empty trees. Nothing answered.

He pushed to his feet, swaying. His body felt too light, like something inside him had been scooped out and left hollow.

He looked down at his hands, glow faint, cracks running through his wrists. His power was fading. “Everett!” he shouted again, louder this time, desperate. His voice bounced back from the still forest.

He waited, then, faintly, from far away, he heard a sound. A soft crackle, fire. Kael’s head snapped toward it. “Everett?”

He ran. The trees were endless. Their silver leaves brushed against one

    Morning light poured over the valley like warm water. It caught the dew on every blade of grass, turning the hills silver and gold. The sky had the soft color of honey. Birds called in long, lazy notes, and the river below hummed as it bent around stone and tree.A figure stood at the edge of the high meadow, watching the sun rise. His hair, once pale, now carried faint silver threads that glimmered in the light. His cloak moved in the breeze, and the shards that circled him glowed gently like quiet stars.Kael had grown tall, no longer the boy who once trembled in the ruins of an old world. He had become the keeper of this one.He raised his hand slightly, palm open. From his skin a thin pulse of light drifted outward, invisible to most eyes. It passed through the grass, through the air, down into the soil. The world breathed in reply. The wind picked up. Flowers opened. Kael smiled faintly. “Good morning.”His voice was soft, almost shy. From behind him, soft footsteps approached

    The storm came slowly. It rolled across the new land in long, heavy waves, thick gray clouds bending the sky. Lightning flashed, low and gold, touching the fields with light before vanishing again. Kael stood in the middle of it, his shards spinning quietly around him. The wind pushed at his hair, his clothes, but he didn’t move. His glowing eyes were fixed on the horizon. Everything had changed since the flame broke.The rivers flowed again. The trees breathed again. Grass moved beneath the touch of wind. The world was alive, really alive, but raw, unstable, and uncertain.He felt it every time he took a step. The ground trembled like a heartbeat that hadn’t learned its rhythm yet.Kael looked down at his hands. The faint cracks from before had grown brighter, thin lines of light pulsing through his skin. He could feel the balance inside him now, the pulse of fire, the memory of shards, the rhythm of life itself.He wasn’t sure if it was a gift or a curse. “Everett…” he whispered

    The wind was quiet. Too quiet. It moved through the valley with soft whispers, bending the grass but carrying no sound, no insects, no birds, no heartbeat of the world. The sky was pale blue, washed out and perfect, stretching endlessly. Everett stood on a ridge overlooking the new world. His eyes scanned the horizon, watching rivers shimmer under the morning light. Everything looked alive, but it didn’t feel alive.He closed his eyes, letting his fingers brush over the air. He could sense the warmth of fire still flickering inside him, steady but thin, and beneath it, like a thread woven into his blood, he felt Kael.The bond wasn’t like before. It wasn’t pulling or pushing. It was just there, a quiet rhythm that hummed between their souls.Kael sat cross-legged on a rock nearby, the morning light glowing faintly on his skin. His hair caught every beam, shining like glass. His shards no longer floated wildly around him, they drifted slowly, lazy and weightless. He looked peaceful,

    The light faded slowly. It didn’t vanish all at once, it unraveled, curling like smoke in water. Pieces of the broken heart drifted upward, glowing faintly as they rose into the quiet. No more chains. No more voices. Just stillness.Everett stood in the center of the wreckage, his arms still wrapped around Kael. His body was shaking from exhaustion. His fire had gone soft, not gone, but tired, flickering low like the last ember in a forge.Kael’s glow was faint too, his shards floating lazily in the air, circling them like weary birds. The boy’s head rested against Everett’s chest. He was breathing. That was enough.For the first time in what felt like forever, there was no screaming. No pulling. No law whispering in their ears. Just quiet.Everett lifted his gaze. Above them, the ceiling of the heart had torn open, showing not sky, but an endless field of stars. He had almost forgotten what stars looked like. They shimmered faintly, blinking in and out as if testing whether they s
