Let Them Kneel (kaelani and Julian) novel Chapter 137

Chapter 137

“She bends the dreamscape already. Commands it. Not with fear or force… but with will.”

Another stepped closer, her voice reverent.

“She’s aligning faster than we imagined. She’s nearly mastered what takes others years.”

Their eyes turned to Draevyn.

“It’s time.”

Draevyn’s expression darkened. He shook his head once–sharp and final.

“No. She’s not ready.”

Kaelani looked between them, brows knitting.

“Ready for what?”

The Seers exchanged glances, their gazes weighty with unspoken meaning.

Finally, the third one answered, voice solemn.

“The Trial of Resonance.”

Kaelani blinked.

“What is that?”

Draevyn’s gaze flicked to the Seers.

“It’s the final test,” he said–more to them than to her. “And she’s nowhere near ready.”

The eldest Seer stepped forward, expression calm but resolute.

“You’re underestimating her,” she said quietly. “She is the chosen one. Every sign confirms it.”

“I’m not questioning the signs,” Draevyn replied, voice cool but edged. “I’m questioning the timing.”

“What does the test consist of?” Kaelani asked.

There was a brief silence. Then the second Seer answered:

“Teleportation.”

Kaelani shrugged. “So let me try it.”

Draevyn’s head snapped toward her, a rare crack of emotion in his voice.

“It’s not just teleportation.”

The third Seer stepped forward, her voice sure and soft.

“She will succeed. She is meant to.”

kaelani drew a breath, steadying herself.

“Then let me do it,” she said, turning to Draevyn now. “Please. Just let me try.”

Draevyn exhaled slowly, his jaw tightening as his eyes locked onto hers.

“All right,” he said, voice low and sharp. “You want to try it?”

He extended his hand.

“Very well.”

Kaelani hesitated, her breath catching. But she stepped forward, heart pounding, and slipped her hand into his.

Behind him, the three Seers moved in perfect silence. Each placed a hand on his shoulders.

Draevyn closed his eyes.

And then-

Everything vanished.

The chamber.

The dim lights around her.

Gone.

In the next blink, Kaelani was hit by a blinding rush of wind and light. The sun blazed against her face- unforgiving and stark. Her eyes squinted hard, watering instantly; she hadn’t seen daylight in what felt like forever.

Her stomach lurched.

She staggered, catching her balance, and looked down.

Miles below stretched the endless sprawl of Rio de Janeiro–glittering blue ocean on one side, mountains and green hills on the other.

Her breath caught.

They were standing on the outstretched arm of Christ the Redeemer.

Smooth stone beneath her boots. Nothing but sky around them.

And if she stepped forward–one inch too far–she would fall.

Kaelani blinked against the harsh sunlight, shielding her eyes before glancing around in disbelief.

“What the hell are we doing up here?”

Draevyn didn’t answer right away. His gaze was fixed on the open sky, the city far below them, the dizzying height.

Then, calmly, “This is where the Trial of Resonance is done.”

She turned to him sharply, the wind tugging at her clothes.

“What?” Her voice pitched higher with disbelief. “Am I supposed to teleport back to the Fae realm from here?”

Praevyn’s

‘s eyes shifted to hers.

“Close. You’re to jump” – he nodded to the edge “and teleport back to your exact standing point.”

Kaelani stared at him.
