The tremor rolled through the ground beneath their feet - subtle at first, then building in intensity. Ash jumped and scattered across cracked stone.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VHqzMfZDr
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnU2amNvuW
Cel's body locked tight. His heart hammered against his ribs as memory crashed through him with visceral clarity - the ground collapsing, darkness swallowing the crimson sky, concentric rows of teeth snapping shut.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoi6OX8bxSp
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WcHln9PeH
Another tremor. Stronger.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNY2CcZ8g8
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsCby34WzR
The earth began to crack perhaps twenty steps ahead, spiderwebbing outward from a central point. Dust billowed upward in thick clouds as stone split apart with grinding protest.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGEM0fUGaN
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvdM1fEp42
Something vast pushed through.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIJI82qJvW
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyznvaoQzt
The maw emerged first - that circular opening ringed with teeth, each one taller as a man. The massive body followed, segments of obsidian-black armor catching the dim light as it rose higher. And higher.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mvsRPpVh8
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRklABojUz9
The creature towered above them, its body still mostly buried, but what showed was enough to block out a significant portion of the sky.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXDOwyTqei
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXQKIDucgI
Cel stumbled backward before his consciousness caught up. His left hand moved on pure instinct, reaching for Silent Moon.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZbGN7DQfW
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJJ6f0ekz0
Moonlight threaded through the air as the chokutō materialized in his grip. Four crescents ignited along its length, casting pale radiance across the gray wasteland.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCIqEGFBte
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ptl0dBAVc
His breathing came shallow and rapid. Every muscle coiled tight, ready to run, to fight, to do anything except stand helpless before the thing that had nearly killed him.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVlwNoJI0z
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoJbtJW5bw
He glanced sideways at Raven.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7j0EtP1bOm
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTU6WUW2oz5
He stood perfectly still. His posture was relaxed - weight evenly distributed, arms loose at his sides. Those crimson eyes fixed on the massive predator without fear, without tension, without any reaction at all.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaJtirbEFp
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oLqv1Ba0h
Like he was watching clouds drift past.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgdno1Nfvb
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCzhqYEWW8
Seconds crawled by.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5JjSuYLTJ
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8HMYZHMBt
The worm remained motionless above them, its eyeless head tilted slightly as if sensing their presence through the vibrations they created.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnxeUjiIVG
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXQeVKGjej
Cel's grip on Silent Moon tightened until his knuckles went white. His legs trembled with the urge to bolt.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBwzOe5hDL
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlSFRaTF7y
But the creature didn't move.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fvnlIOIJA
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRevAJVmqf
Didn't attack.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22oJ8FOjE7
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgNZ8Ohe7X
Just... waited.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOwa6XhfE2
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRvvMrIweX
Cel's gaze tracked upward, following the segmented body to that circular maw. The teeth caught the light in jagged patterns—53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZBSoCY7UT
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZ6GQLCLgc
His breath stopped.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcamlG0NxJg
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTdeq1MTmF
A gap.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28F18Yc5HM
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAwhRXlD2N
Right there, along the outer ring. A section where teeth should have been but weren't. The space was unmistakable - too wide, too deliberate.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuifRyZOzkX
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwd0HEVEntL
The same gap he'd carved with his own hands while trapped in its throat.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI842KQAt9l
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimxsWi9Glp
This was the same creature. The one that had swallowed him whole, that he'd escaped from through desperate violence and impossible luck.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytrfUdiivY
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzq6WInJBV
But the worm made no aggressive motion. Its massive form simply loomed over them, segments shifting slightly as it maintained its balance.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiK0rfYCFBs
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4q600tabD
Time stretched.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0PptMxNR5
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdAoRwGqzI
Then, with the same grinding deliberation it had used to emerge, the creature began to sink.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfnKbx6wTJ
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjyT5qIlaT
Stone closed around its body as it descended back into the earth. The segments disappeared one by one until it vanished completely.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp126cPlgtu
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dIxkwlDRV
The cracks sealed behind it like water closing over a dropped stone.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaYYURKJUF
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yTA2xnYwE
Silence crashed down.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIj8VCKCaUJ
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeCH69sUCS
Cel stood there, blade raised, chest heaving. His eyes remained locked on the spot where the creature had been, half-expecting it to erupt again at any moment.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyKQmqmoSk
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2hKk2pOMW
"It's gone," Raven said quietly.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSTAONATkD
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwRcphTjzC
Cel didn't lower Silent Moon. Couldn't. His entire body was locked tight with fear that refused to dissipate simply because the immediate threat had vanished.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rhaWIiqlM
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSmtvI7YQ9
"Celvian." Firmer this time.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCPFspelPE
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZItlqjlFR
The sound of his name cut through the paralysis. Cel's breathing gradually slowed, and he forced himself to lower Silent Moon, though his hand remained tense around the hilt.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9qyrKD1VU
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOinbizIdKf
Raven was already walking forward, resuming their previous pace as if nothing had happened. As if they hadn't just stood before something that could have devoured them both without effort.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDP3KZwBoO
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtUbEPSxiH
Cel stared at the young man's retreating back, then at the sealed ground where the worm had vanished. His mind churned, trying to make sense of what he'd witnessed.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJ2XHHmfll
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOh3fHJVLa0
The very same creature that had swallowed him whole had simply retreated now.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkocMQmHS24
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Oq0i9eUPH
Why?53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2AyUSCzMd
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7E1zK4x3y
He dismissed Silent Moon with a thought, watching the blade dissolve into moonlight threads. Then he hurried to catch up with Raven, his boots crunching against ash-covered stone.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWctI2McIy
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsEZoZzm9J
They walked in silence again. Cel's mind refused to let the question go, circling it from every angle.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAQn60SyOC
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5o3NktNmv
The worm hunted through vibrations. Both he and Raven had been walking, creating the exact signals that should have triggered an attack. Yet the creature had done nothing.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KjGWKeYSj
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJebZeHYK8Z
Was it because of Raven's presence? Something about the Cursed that drove rift-creatures away?53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoqtN0Oxaj
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjTexQWuWh
The thought sparked something in Cel's mind. If that were true - if the corruption of the Cursed somehow deterred these creatures - then they'd be invaluable. Humanity could use them to protect settlements, to hold defensive lines, to close rifts.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRssX1mSJIh
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWWoJcnyYs
But that didn't happen. The Cursed were exiled, hunted, killed by the very people who could benefit most from their existence.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJD4hbkpah
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdCdLUNapC
Which meant... what? That his theory was wrong? Or that humanity was too consumed by fear and revulsion to recognize the value even when it could save lives?53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjt51n0jENx
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DSeNG6PkB
Both seemed equally possible.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtN8gFAke8
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYM9oV5M437
Cel's gaze tracked to Raven's back. The young man walked with the same confident stride, no hesitation in his movements despite the predator that had just loomed over them.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxj98r6deX
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaW6gBbo3ye
Like he'd done this countless times before.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUXByfLkRr
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTIHrCv1CI
The pieces didn't fit together cleanly. Raven had said nothing would attack them with absolute certainty. The worm had proven him right. But the why remained elusive, wrapped in whatever dark knowledge came with being Cursed.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJkFofWDLO
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4hGHgMf4o
Hours bled together in gray monotony. The wasteland stretched endlessly before them - ash, cracked earth, scattered obsidian stones jutting at irregular angles. The crimson sky remained unchanged, offering no measure of time's passage beyond the steady throb of his wounds.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyHuR7QR9h
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsmFgCluEZ
The mountain crept closer with painful slowness. What had seemed within reach from a distance revealed itself as leagues away, the perspective warped by the Ashlands' endless flatness.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeDlMt6RM5
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Kgi1juDRs
They walked without pause.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjs4fLCX6S
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFjTr0BlJy
No creatures emerged. No tremors shook the ground. Just silence, ash and the crunch of their boots in a steady rhythm.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0Tb0MBYCd
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOMaXWWbdM
Stone walls cut across the horizon. Ruins. 53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBFDKqb7oy
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6yfBdqXQG
The structure was larger than the one they'd left behind. Stone walls rose perhaps twice his height in places, though gaps and collapsed sections showed where time had claimed its due. An archway gaped like a missing tooth, leading into shadowed interior spaces that promised shelter from the exposed wasteland.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRu2niRUPPy
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEpiF7kdmb
Raven approached without hesitation, his boots crunching through debris scattered around the entrance. Cel followed, scanning the broken walls for movement, for any sign they weren't alone.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6mljjlZWB
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjm8gGNDoX
Nothing stirred.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAz3mBw2mZ
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZCDAeuy0A
Inside, the ruins opened into what might have once been a courtyard. Columns jutted at odd angles, some still supporting fragments of a ceiling that cast irregular shadows across the ash-covered floor.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcu7VDMlhNx
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQt19nmeR1
Raven moved to the far wall and settled against it with practiced ease, his posture relaxing slightly.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Js1M0jYpX
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6pDABYwoy
Cel remained standing, his gaze tracking across the broken space. The light filtering through gaps in the ceiling had shifted to a deeper red now. Night was approaching.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfndmlwlxG
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PM1swmta5
"I'll take first watch," Cel said.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyLZAsAWed
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJ3qYKSB2V
Raven's eyes opened, fixing on him with quiet assessment.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZdoNGaHoU
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1xlVpN3pc
"You slept earlier. I didn't." Cel gestured toward the entrance. "It's only fair."53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3jKzYBgsJ
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvmKEa3YzK
Raven studied him for a moment, then gave a slight nod.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRyeRVKW7W
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8VmWAza5y
"Wake me if anything happens."53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfvB0wQCxs
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgr61I6BDi
"I will."53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3z17UFB1s
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8ZYvOejcH
Raven's eyes closed, his breathing evening out with the speed of someone who'd learned to sleep anywhere, anytime. Within minutes, the steady rise and fall of his chest suggested he'd slipped into actual rest rather than mere waiting.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBQfaygy2f
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9oIg4SMqS
Cel moved to position himself near the archway where he could see both the interior space and the wasteland beyond. He settled into a crouch, back against cold stone, and let his eyes adjust to the deepening shadows.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhui8eZ2Pn
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡregjemYd2g
The silence pressed in around him, broken only by the whisper of settling ash and Raven's quiet breathing.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbx1tzjtF95
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTgrb5mav9
Time crawled.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21FqpCHUiI
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpd5sP5d8t
Cel's thoughts drifted despite his best efforts to stay alert. The worm. The way it had risen before them and simply... left. Raven's absolute certainty that they were safe despite all logic.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qpXWuB7hQ
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2TEAgLWxq
The pieces refused to form a complete picture.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQphqkgiyF
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡji0hxfXw45
A sound broke his thoughts.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsBNuC7iFd
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGregUIgYxB
Soft. Indistinct. Coming from where Raven lay.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ457sL1zmEl
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4DGab7JHN
Cel's attention sharpened, his hand moving instinctively toward where Silent Moon could manifest.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMvxLtlxQP
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSZl7dtLQx
But no threat emerged. Just Raven, shifting slightly against the wall, his face twisted in something that might have been pain.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNstwZPVWGJ
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdtu3SSeO6
"...shouldn't have..." The words came barely audible, slurred with sleep. "...not my..."53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQbiWzUjtl
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzM420wQKH
Cel remained still, watching.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hfoagG7Ix
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgc82BbbeN
Raven's breathing quickened. His hands curled into fists at his sides.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9oFbq0IMP
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwK9qZBcr4X
"...please..." Quieter now, broken. "...don't..."53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4iHUog00m
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvq323DBoBz
The raw anguish in that single word made Cel's chest tighten. Whatever nightmare held Raven, it was pulling him deep.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQGIz2l884
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2N6sWXBfA
Then Raven went quiet again, the moment passing as quickly as it had come. His breathing evened, though tension remained in his shoulders.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPUxmaJFbe
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUbuqbMN1T
Cel looked away, fixing his gaze back on the entrance. Whatever demons haunted Raven's sleep were his own. Witnessing them felt like trespassing on something private, sacred in its pain. Cel's own nightmares had taught him that much - the vulnerability of being dragged back to your worst moments, powerless to stop it. No one deserved an audience for that.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxiTxqNIF0
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIPc37cFoH
More time passed. The crimson light filtering through gaps dimmed, and something else replaced it - moonlight. The change rippled through Cel's body as Lunar Vigor awoke.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeMbEE2umt
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvluIW8ddD
Movement made him glance back.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYaR1DHAIH
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1Xfcpn7Ku
Raven's body had gone rigid. His breathing came in sharp gasps now, hands clawing at nothing.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQRfFCyljI
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QEvUuLX9c
"Why—" Louder this time, urgent. "No—can’t—"53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbU9mOF8el
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgXTvUv6p6
His eyes snapped open.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehRCJt4Cjq
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbd2tzifTx4
For a heartbeat, Raven stared at nothing, chest heaving. His crimson eyes held something raw and terrible - not quite panic, but close. The look of someone who'd been somewhere they never wanted to return.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqULCdDnKS
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdg1989bpZ
Then awareness filtered back. His gaze found Cel watching him, and something shuttered behind those red irises. The vulnerability vanished, replaced by that familiar neutrality.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNJMZYN9hQ
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5ksUvntRJ
Neither of them spoke.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJg5JcIjosF
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrmfyQsEmZ
Raven pushed himself upright slowly, one hand dragging across his face. When he dropped it, his expression was carefully blank.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0YOtUHYvs
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQd3vU2EK2
"Your turn," he said, voice rough.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoRBFGXHn5
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMnkOkBm2w
Cel nodded and rose, his joints protesting the movement after hours of stillness. He moved to where Raven had been, settling against the wall that still held residual warmth.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAKETBzNxq
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjX5rOlltH
Raven took up position near the entrance without another word, his back to Cel as he surveyed the wasteland beyond.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yuOkSBo5Z
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDItbROmFP
Cel closed his eyes, but sleep felt distant. His mind churned with too many questions, too many observations that refused to form complete thoughts.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDflEeHdZh
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GQSsqYEmk
The Cursed. Raven's certainty. The worm's behavior. The nightmare that plagued him.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUhhI5Pgbm
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pNdq8fhGr
All of it connected somehow. He was certain of that. But the pattern remained hidden, obscured by gaps in understanding he couldn't bridge alone.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0x7dbVMn4
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡez6vhkAIX4
Selina would know.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziFb5S7CWt
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYVeAAcMRl
The thought arrived with sudden clarity. She was a Divine Oracle - the highest authority beneath the gods themselves. If anyone could explain what being Cursed truly meant, what it did to a person beyond the physical mark, it would be her.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyO7NhPftnI
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsGYxR1XEE
Cel reached inward, toward the space that existed within him.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLfjMwmckj
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0nvfX5qY2
The world shifted, reality bending as his consciousness slipped from the physical realm.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIA6vRV6Uuq
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0jdxsOVFz
The cracked earth of his soul's landscape materialized beneath him. Mist swirled in gentle currents. And there, standing as if she'd been waiting, was Selina.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsPQGJxG3H
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RiiEyxBez
Her white robes caught the moonlight streaming from above. Below the silver mask, her lips curved in that familiar, serene smile.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNf9kBCufWM
