ROMAN
I couldn’t sit still.
I had tried–at first. I tried to lie back on the bed and stare at the ceiling like I usually did when my thoughts got too loud, like somehow doing nothing would force everything to settle on its own. It didn’t work.
It only made it worse.
So I got up.
And then I sat again.
And then I stood.
And now I was pacing.
Back and forth, across the same stretch of space, like if I walked it enough times, somethin in my head would finally make sense.
It didn’t.
It just kept circling.
The dream. Her voice… No–the voice.
That chant.

The way it had sounded at first–strange, distant, like something I wasn’t meant to hear, let alone understand. And yet…
I did.
That was the part that was driving me insane.
I stopped mid–step, dragging a hand down my face as I exhaled slowly.
How?
How did that even happen?
I didn’t even know I remembered anything like that until it slipped out of me during breakfast.
It wasn’t just that I heard it. Anyone could hear something in a dream and forget it the
<Chapter 377
moment they woke up. That wasn’t what this was.
I remembered it.
Clear enough to repeat.
Clear enough to understand.
That was scary.

I turned again, pacing in the opposite direction now, my jaw tightening slightly as I tried to piece it together.
I let out a quiet breath, my steps slowing just slightly as the image came back into my mind.
Luna Faye was in my dream.
My chest tightened faintly, but I didn’t stop there. I didn’t let myself stay on that part.
Because that wasn’t the only time I had seen her.
The difference was that she was the one saving me then… not me struggling to save her and failing.
That thought settled differently.
I stopped walking completely now, my brows pulling together slightly as I tried to hold onto it.
I exhaled slowly, my gaze dropping to the floor as I tried to recall it more clearly.
I had been… lost.
That was the only way to describe it.
It hadn’t felt like a normal dream. It had felt like I was stuck somewhere- I was drowning.
And then-
She appeared, clear, bright, steady in a way that didn’t feel like it belonged in that darkness.
Wait!
I straightened slowly, my thoughts shifting back to the dream from last night.
Light.
The word echoed in my head again.
“Blood… of the light.”

I stilled completely.
The room felt quieter somehow.
Like everything had pulled back just enough for that one thought to settle properly.
My mind moved again.
My jaw tightened slightly as the image came back.
The stone… her body lying there-
And even then-
There had been something about her that didn’t match the rest of it.
Something that stood out.
I inhaled slowly.
She had been glowing.
Light.
Again.
The word settled harder.
“Blood of the light.”

My gaze lifted toward the door.
