Chapter 26: The Weaving of Truths

Scene 1: Fractured Whispers

Ellara’s breath fogged in the cool air as she stood before the Weaving Spire, a structure that had not existed a day before. Its presence was a paradox—an edifice woven from both memory and future possibility.

The stone at her throat pulsed, sensing the fractures in reality that still remained. Though the worlds were merging, not all had accepted the change. Some places still clung to the old order, resisting the call of unity.

Kael’s voice was low, almost reverent. “The Spire is a thread point—one of the places where the past and future meet in raw form.” His staff hummed, tracing unseen ley lines in the air.

Elder Moira appeared beside them, her body stabilizing with difficulty. “Not all beings wish to be remembered,” she warned. “Some have thrived in the fractures, in the forgotten. And they will fight to keep their existence separate.”
