Chapter 107
The sun rose over the academy ruins. Its light spilled across shattered walls, broken towers, and scorched earth. Yet even with the dawn, the brightest thing in the courtyard was not the sun.It was the flame mark burned into the stone. It pulsed faintly, gold light rising and falling like a heartbeat.The survivors gathered around it, whispering among themselves. Some bowed their heads in prayer. Others touched the stone carefully, as if afraid it might vanish.Norra sat beside the mark, her hands pressed against it. Her hair was tangled, her clothes torn, but her eyes burned fiercely with determination.She hadn’t left the mark since the night Aurora vanished into fire. When the younger students asked her why, she always gave the same answer. “Because she’s still here. I can feel her.”Her words spread quickly. The children began to sit near the mark with her, some whispering Aurora’s name, others humming softly like a song.Every time the mark glowed brighter, Norra’s heart leapt.
Chapter 106
The courtyard was silent. The fire had gone, leaving only smoke curling through the broken air. The ground was cracked, the walls scorched, the academy bells silent at last.At the center of it all, burned deep into the stone, was the mark: the shape of a flame. Norra stared at it, her chest heaving, her tears falling freely. She fell to her knees, pressing her hands to the mark as though she could pull Aurora back through it. Her voice broke in a whisper. “You can’t be gone… you can’t…”Around her, the students gathered slowly, their faces pale and hollow. No one spoke. Some were crying quietly, others just staring at the mark in stunned silence. One boy whispered shakily, “She… she saved us.”A girl beside him wept, clutching her arms. “But she’s gone. She’s really gone.”Their voices spread like ripples, sorrow echoing across the courtyard. John stood a few steps away, his silver eyes fixed on the mark. His jaw was tight, his fists clenched, his body trembling with something he c

The sky split open. From the heavens above the academy, a column of fire descended, vast and bright, tearing through the clouds like the birth of a new sun.Students and teachers staggered back, shielding their eyes. Some cried out in awe, others in terror.Norra stood frozen in the courtyard, her eyes wide, her hands trembling. The warmth pressed against her skin like a tide. Her voice broke in a whisper. “Aurora.”The fire struck the ground in the center of the academy courtyard. The earth cracked, stones shattered, and light spilled across every wall.When the blaze faded, something stood in its heart. It was Aurora, yet not the Aurora they remembered.Her body glowed faintly, her skin traced with lines of light. Her hair burned like fire, flowing endlessly down her back. Her eyes blazed gold, brighter than the sun. Every step she took left sparks on the ground.The students gasped, fear and awe mingling. Some fell to their knees, whispering prayers. Others staggered back, clutchi
Chapter 104
The sky above the academy cracked open. For days, the air had been heavy with shadow, mirrors blooming across the walls, whispers filling every hallway, but now, in one single moment, everything broke.The mirrors shattered, raining silver dust. The shadows screamed, twisting like smoke, then vanished into the air. The earth trembled, the heavens shook, and then, silence.Norra fell to her knees in the courtyard, her hands pressed over her chest. She gasped as the heavy pressure that had been crushing her soul for weeks suddenly lifted.The watchers who had been bound to the glass collapsed, their bodies falling limp. Some wept. Some stared blankly at the sky. Aurora’s name passed through their lips like a prayer.Norra’s heart pounded as she looked up at the sky. It was burning, not with shadow, but with light, golden fire spilling from a crack that stretched across the horizon. Her throat closed. She whispered, trembling. “Aurora… what have you done?”John rushed to her side, his fa
Chapter 103
The void was splitting apart. Shadows poured like rivers from Vazquez’s broken wings. Souls screamed as they were dragged into his chest, their voices filling the air with endless terror. The ground cracked beneath Aurora’s feet, flames and smoke tearing through every corner of the Root.Aurora clung to Mason’s hand, her fire blazing wildly, her tears streaming into the light. Her chest heaved with every breath, her whole body shaking. This was it. There was no more time.Vazquez loomed above them, his form no longer human. He had become a storm of claws, wings, and silver eyes, his laughter shaking the collapsing void.“Choose, Keeper!” his voice thundered. “Burn the Root and destroy everything you swore to protect… or fail, and let me devour them all!”Aurora pressed her free hand to her chest. The voices of the souls screamed inside her, begging, pleading. “Do not end us! Keeper, find another way! We are still alive!”Her heart broke under the weight of it. She had carried them fo

The void shook with fire. Aurora stood tall again, her flames rising brighter than ever. Beside her, Mason’s form had returned, not faint, not broken, but whole. His silver eyes no longer glowed with shadow, but with light. His hand was warm in hers, steady, real.Aurora’s chest ached with relief. Tears streaked down her face, mixing with blood and ash. She whispered his name again, as if afraid he might vanish. “Mason…”He smiled faintly, his voice calm, grounding her like it always had. “I’m here.”Her grip tightened around his hand. “You, you came back.”Mason’s eyes softened. “I never left. You carried me, Aurora. You carried all of us.”The sparks swirled around them, glowing brighter, filling the void with light. The souls whispered faintly, their voices no longer screams, but songs.Aurora’s heart lifted. For the first time in what felt like forever, she wasn’t alone.Vazquez staggered back, his broken form twisting with rage. Cracks split wider across his chest, smoke pouring
