Lyssia Moves
That night, Lyssia entered the castle.
Not by force.
By invitation.
> "You're here to serve?" a noble asked.
> "I'm here to watch."
> "Watch what?"
She smiled.
> "Him. Break."
She carried a letter.
Sealed in Aevum's crest.
And a dagger made of regretstone — a metal that feeds on Echoborne magic.

Aelira's Mutation Spreads
In her room, Aelira collapsed.
Ravian found her shaking, glyphs covering her chest, jaw clenched.
> "Help me."
> "What's happening?"
> "I think… I'm not just mutating."
> "Then what?"
> "I think I'm turning into the key that unlocks him."

> "You want answers?" he asked.

Lyssia Durn.
Ireina Sol.
Each one crossed out — in blood ink.
> "This is your past. And if you don't master it… it becomes your future."
I touched the wall.
It screamed.

Then vanished.
I opened it.
Only one line inside:
> "You promised me forever. Then you burned the world."
