@Seravora The climb was brutal. Midway, Roxanne found Aisle and Percy, both covered in blood. Aisle was stitching Percy’s leg with shaking hands, her wound bleeding freely. Roxanne stepped in, but— “Use mine. Save yours,” Aisle snapped. “He needs me. Go.” Roxanne didn’t argue. She moved.

@wearetalvora “The Core is stable, Josiah. But your sovereignty… has ended.” Seravora lowered her gaze and closed her eyes. “𝙄 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙩𝙚𝙘𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙢… 𝙞𝙣 𝙢𝙮 𝙤𝙬𝙣 𝙬𝙖𝙮. 𝙒𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙤𝙧 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪, 𝙅𝙤𝙨𝙞𝙖𝙝.”

@Seravora The shot struck the saboteur's left knee joint, crippling his movement. He collapsed onto the rocky ground, armor sparking. But even injured, he dragged himself toward the steaming vents of Emberveil’s edge. Before Theodore could secure the pendant— 𝗕𝗢𝗢𝗠!

@Seravora It was Percival, arriving to assist Roxelana. The shot struck his knee joint, dropping him hard into the snow now stained red. Behind him, Aisle cried out, rushing to his side. Ignoring the danger, Aisle held Percival tightly, trying to stop the bleeding amid the freezing storm.

@Seravora Suddenly, a small explosion echoed from the ventilation shafts. Someone had successfully sabotaged the reserve flow. The crystal lights in the western hall went completely dark. The temperature across the realm began to drop rapidly.
