Chapter 194

~Valerie’s POV~

Tiny flickers danced at the edge of the fissure like they had a mind of their own. They were barely there, but enough to make everyone stop.

The whole field went still.

Emerald froze mid-strike, her eyes locked on the glowing crack behind me. The enemy team pulled back slightly, everyone distancing themselves from the chaos on the ground, even the stoic instructors stood from their chairs on the sidelines.

My breathing was uneven now. Shaky. Not from exhaustion, but from the unfamiliar force surging through my limbs.

The warmth spread further, curling along my spine, making my fingertips tingle like static. I clenched my fists, trying to suppress it, but it was no use.

I stumbled back. My boots skidded against dry dirt, but my focus wasn’t in control anymore. My body burned, though not from fever but with something... waking up.

"What the—" Emerald stepped toward me, her face pale. "Valerie!"

I didn’t answer. I just couldn’t. The sound was louder now, pounding like a second heartbeat in my ears.

Another crack opened beneath my feet, wider this time. Glowing orange veins laced through the dirt, and smoke curled up in thin, ghostlike tendrils.

It wasn’t just heat. It was raw, dangerous, unfocused power.

I tried to step away, but my foot caught the edge of a raised stone outcrop near our flag. I lost balance and fell hard.

Pain exploded in the back of my skull the second my head collided with a stone. The sky spun, my eyes blurred as the heat surging within me began to fade.

The last thing I saw was the shimmer of heat rising from the earth, warping the field in waves. The firelight flickered like it was watching me.

Then suddenly, all I saw was black. The kind of darkness that didn’t just swallow sight, but thought.

Voices floated all around me, overlapping like the hum of a thousand winds whispering secrets at once.

They were muffled at first—strange, familiar, too many to decipher. My head felt light, as if I was drifting through the space between memories and dreams.

Then, slowly, everything else faded... until one voice rose above the rest. Clear. Warm. The one voice I had always longed to hear again for so many years.

"Oh stop it, Snow. I like it. Violet and Sapphire."

The rest of the world hushed. My chest tightened.

"We agreed on one name. How come you are giving her two more names?" my father replied, his tone a mix of amused exasperation and quiet affection.

"Isn’t it obvious?" she smiled, eyes locked on something or someone.

Me.

My heart clenched. I blinked slowly and realised where I was... or at least where my mind had taken me.

I was a baby.
