The temple floor bit into my knees, my breath ragged as I crawled toward the altar. My pendant—my mother’s last gift—was gone. Wanda stood above me, its chain coiled around her wrist like a serpent. "No one will believe you," she sneered, her eyes gleaming with stolen light. "You’re nothing here."

I reached for the runes, my fingers trembling. The air crackled, but the temple didn’t respond. I wasn’t worthy anymore. Or so I thought.

Then the doors exploded open. Armored boots echoed, and a shadow loomed—Prince Kael, his sword drawn, his gaze locked on Wanda. "You dare defile this sanctum?"

Wanda fled, vanishing into the catacombs. The prince turned to me, lifting me gently. "Who are you?"

I wanted to say my name, but fear choked me. If Wanda had taken my place, speaking could be a death sentence.
