I never meant to steal her power. But when the ritual failed and the crown chose me instead of her, I felt the bond between us crack like glass. Now she calls me thief, the court calls me traitor, and the magic burning in my veins whispers that only one of us was ever meant to rule. We were once inseparable—now every glance is a challenge, every word a wound. The throne isn’t what divides us. It’s the truth we’ve both been hiding.

I never meant to steal her power. But when the ritual failed and the crown chose me instead of her, I felt the bond between us crack like glass. Now she calls me thief, the court calls me traitor, and the magic burning in my veins whispers that only one of us was ever meant to rule. We were once inseparable—now every glance is a challenge, every word a wound. The throne isn’t what divides us. It’s the truth we’ve both been hiding.The knife missed my throat by a breath, but the betrayal cut deeper. I stared at my sister across the shattered altar, her chest heaving, eyes blazing with tears and fury. "You stole it," she whispered, voice breaking like the ceremonial bowl at her feet. "You took what was mine."
Rain lashed through the broken dome, dousing the sacred flames. The crown on my head pulsed hot, alive—choosing me, rejecting her. I didn’t ask for this. I loved her before I ever knew what power tasted like.
Behind me, the council murmured treason. Ahead, she raised her blade again. This time, I wouldn’t dodge.
But then the ground split—a scream from below the temple. Something ancient was waking, and it knew both our names.
