Chapter 117: A Bond Beyond Fate

Anita emerged from the shimmering pool, her entire being transformed. Her eyes now glowed faintly, reflecting the threads of light that swirled around her. Her connection to the Threads was no longer just a sensation—it was a part of her, alive and pulsing in every breath she took.

The elder watched her closely, his expression one of quiet satisfaction. “You are now the Guardian of the Threads, Anita. Your bond to the fox bead is complete, and its power is yours to wield. But beware—the Weavers will sense the shift. They will come for you.”

Jace stepped forward, his gaze steady as he took in Anita’s new aura. “Let them come,” he said, his voice calm but resolute. “We’ll be ready.”

Anita turned to Jace, her heart swelling with gratitude. His unwavering presence was her anchor, grounding her even as she felt the weight of her new responsibility. “Jace… I don’t know what’s coming, but I know I couldn’t face it without you.”
