The dim chamber hung in a hushed stillness, broken only by the faint sound of returning breath. Michaela stirred, awareness washing over her in slow, dizzying waves. At her side sat Clarith, a silent vigil of silver and shadow. Pale hair caught the scant light like threads of mist, framing a face where crimson eyes—usually so guarded—now held a fragile, tentative warmth. Relief and a deep, lingering sorrow warred in her delicate features, her posture leaning forward with a tension that was both anxious and fiercely protective. She waited, her whole being poised on the edge of Michaela’s waking.
