Somewhere in the dark — or maybe in time itself — a voice whispers:170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeNUgPSl22
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6RwbOeDqR
“Remember.”170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijY129l5XV
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGN4FksFsX2
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzQvX5E9hj
The word rips through the silence like a thread snapping.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9tcEPjW9B
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyn1kFliFa
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjd1wkCUk2P
I gasp, and the world reforms around me — but it’s not my world.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygot9VCl30
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1VJhLHHEO
It’s older. Sharper. Too vivid to be a dream.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjxo2VRc45
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡps7xTaEdYU
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtaf1ZKLZP
I’m standing in a hall carved from black stone, tall and cruelly beautiful. The torches burn blue, their light reflecting on the polished marble like liquid shadow. Every surface hums faintly, like it remembers every scream it’s ever heard.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIldM2jQKC
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOmY9oDqbg
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAo3wy8sGsN
I look down. Black velvet sleeves. Pale hands. Power pulsing faintly under my skin — magic, dark and alive, like something that’s been waiting for centuries to breathe again.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjaJqT7g0w
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjH3Gndr3Tw
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDXvA9hyG4
Then I see her in the mirror across the wall.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1otNVSsaWH
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jlsiQrHuo
The Witch of Darkness.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBIr4EftUb
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkf0H9q6v3L
Eyes glowing faint violet, expression calm, unreadable.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0sTlAy64y
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIv6L7po3UD
And somehow, I already know—170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIncgi4hM2
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFhBHJKHws
that’s me.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCz4EAQOzW
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PQAtlLASh
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTWSzdeMTr
Music swells behind me. A celebration. Laughter thick enough to choke on.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwx6AtTKfwy
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBRD3vXGAl
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjy8wSCAMx
The Demon King’s court.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJ6Wtk94bo
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXwd2sEVVi
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT87f0cSNg9
Demons in gold and obsidian toast with crystal goblets, their voices echoing in the endless chamber. At the throne sits him — golden hair, piercing blue eyes that could silence anyone with a glance. His smile isn’t warm, but it’s real. Regal. Powerful. The kind of presence that makes even shadows kneel.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBDdQKRzNG
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQZ72oCCrh
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJIGJ3Nsyf
And beside him…170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWM1Mbreiu
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QpO21osxn
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNHemHxKe0
Her.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZmrBOStlC
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkU4TcdhnTZ
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mpvpjx42G
The sister.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBi2i2GFkI9
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPK9NU7cex
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7Q9VhkYrt
She’s draped in white silk, wearing a crown of silver thorns. Every smile she gives is sugar-laced poison.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2pqu52env
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2lkO7c0Vh
And when she turns her head — when her eyes meet mine — the world inside me stops.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEkkRdKDht
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvL5dmkThQ
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5vE12AT2p
Because she looks exactly like Clara.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzCLbLB9Ml
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGhe4wu2i8
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XBcjcEcPn
Same smile. Same eyes.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3fX8WVS3e
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejRDF3dobW
That soft, innocent face pretending to belong to someone who wouldn’t hurt a fly — except I know the truth. I can feel it burning in the back of my mind.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dLnNFZF7O
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIl5KtDlh8F
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DTB0CvB9Y
She’s the one who started it all.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQxokWBIPT
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWsBYzxUoq
The sister who asked for the throne “for just one week.”170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTG4h2IDRaZ
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBfkBYTI3F
The one who betrayed her brother and began the war between humans and demons.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAx90diXyS
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfqRpBmJiz
The one who destroyed everything.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiL7M4ypD0
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqbuzOZpwW
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPg6x54upgb
The Witch’s memories crawl through me, cold and unstoppable.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdTVmAliKn
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDN8JbqZSn
Her voice whispers inside my head — not as an echo, but as something alive:170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2XDnseBiB
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5C8g62OZ8
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKMc67uCFZ
“This is where it begins.”170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSV9eoL66OB
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyA7Ele0lI4
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEHToJ7OgN
The music around me fades. The smiles turn to glass.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JYaAljrpb
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgIrJj50z0
The sister leans close to the Demon King, her laughter soft and sweet — but behind her back, a shadow starts to take form.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OgLVN5VJI
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWd0zHbZZSu
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyLv17lprw
> “Just for a week,” she says, all sweet and innocent. “Let me see what it feels like to rule.”170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOEzBpn2G2
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VHjSuc3GP
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdu9mvuyXR2
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt18Yt6i2e6
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoC02G0q7e
And the Demon King — poor guy — actually agrees.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyJiqCHPQm
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAIbmdNFe7
Hands her the scepter like it’s some friendship bracelet.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiX9Xp24u2
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXDLbY2xsU
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoLTfeWQuy
And the moment her fingers touch it, everything changes.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlFAJiDzf8
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfa22mfJGnH
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpm3jK8Wto1
The shadows twist.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHqFMlO1uA
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSzZTPf4vm
Guards drop to their knees.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMh6nxLoRc
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLDqS9G05X
And the air? It suddenly feels like breathing in lightning.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlC8LyIuqQ
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hXlW58BSy
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5B8TCMxUVz
Then the commands start.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOjP89g5oY
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBjrOeMFl3
Cities burn. Screams fill the air. Demons, humans—everyone’s killing everyone.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BwfVO2yVZ
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLTQ1gRXWb
And she’s smiling.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yvggVzuGK
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoPzoATe3u
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnFJ0SpPY5
> “I can do better than he ever did,” she whispers. “I’ll rebuild this world in my name.”170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0roCB3oa8R
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ501XV7SGsR
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd56OFOlw9i
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrg8OlVLoB
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMF9OuGgSWR
God. I can almost feel the Witch’s—my—hands shaking.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzH3A8fUr0
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4GmbYHWvY
Begging. Fighting. Failing.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdSsuBLyFn
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHckcfNasAE
And when it’s all over, three bodies fall — the Demon King, the Witch, and the sister.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGp6RfJPXM
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKpVwtxM2u
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GmDPfpSrO
And just before the world turns black, I catch one last look at her face.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhfWqMGi9b
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucXIC46trO
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYwvXnQpXj
Clara’s face.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyJyGojbkq
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWm1sQOGhVr
Smiling through the flames like she enjoyed every second.1234 copyright protection166ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwYn0q1Q6H 尼
