Kaelor’s POV
The moment Lyssara began speaking prophecy—
the entire bond destabilized.
Not violently.
Perfectly.
Like a lock finally turning the right direction.
Kaelor felt it instantly.
The pressure in the cabin shifted from resistance to alignment.
And that terrified him.
Because resistance could still be fought.
Alignment meant something was beginning to agree.
“Aurenya,” he said sharply, “you need to interrupt her connection now.”
Aurenya looked barely able to breathe. “How?”
Before Kaelor could answer—
Lyssara spoke again through the bond.
“The first shield breaks…”
Rhydan’s expression darkened immediately.
Outside the cabin, the presence smiled wider.
And somewhere miles away—
Arinya screamed.
Not in fear.
In pain.
Aurenya doubled over instantly with a cry.
