The world was no longer made of ice, bone, or blood. It was made of sound—a singular, vibrating note that resonated from the core of the earth to the furthest reaches of the stars.
At the center of the Bridge of Bones, the Trinity had become a supernova. I felt my physical form dissolving, the boundaries between my skin and the air vanishing as Lucien's white-hot fire and Kaelen's obsidian shadow spiraled into my Hallowed light. We were no longer three individuals; we were the three facets of a broken god finally coming back together.
Through the bond, I felt them. I felt Lucien's fierce, protective rage—the fire that had been forged in the pits of the Forsaken. I felt Kaelen's deep, soul-shattering love—a love that had survived possession and madness to find its way home. And they felt me. They felt the "wolfless" girl's resilience, the quiet strength that had turned a victim into a sovereign.
