Chapter 128

• Chapter 128: The Human Amongst Them
• A heavy silence hangs over the wreckage, oppressive and thick like a burial shroud. Dust still dances in the air, countless microscopic particles suspended in time, glowing faintly under the silver fingers of the full moon that stretch across the devastation. And in the middle of it all, Eleanor stands like a flame refusing to flicker out—small yet unmistakably bright against the backdrop of destruction.
• Everyone is watching her now—Serena's mother, the only mortal in this war-torn circle of supernatural power. Her jaw is tight, muscles visibly clenching beneath her skin; her eyes burning with an outrage that cuts deeper than any magic ever could. The pulse at her throat beats rapidly, betraying the adrenaline coursing through her veins, yet her stance remains unwaveringly steady.
