Starfania drew in a breath, her fingers curling in Atlas's scales. The world narrowed to the steady rise and fall of his chest, the quiet certainty in his eyes. She was right there—on the edge of the choice that would change everything. Then—Whk—thunk. Pain flared across her side, sharp and searing. Starfania gasped as an arrow grazed her, tearing through fabric and skin alike. She staggered back, eyes snapping wide—not at her own blood, but at what followed. Behind her, one of Cesar's guards crumpled to the ground, an arrow buried deep in his throat. She staggered back, eyes snapping wide—not at her own blood, but at what followed.

Behind her, one of Cesar's guards crumpled to the ground, an arrow buried deep in his throat. Dead. For a heartbeat, the world froze. Violet screamed from Drogo's back. Aeron's voice cracked. " Starfania—!"
Starfania's mind reeled. That wasn't us. She turned just in time to catch the glint of movement above—someone already melting back into the shadows, bow lowered. The Castle Keeper. Horror punched the air from her lungs.
" They're trying to kill me," she whispered—and worse, they made it look like she was responsible. Shouts erupted. Cesar's guards surged forward, fury blazing in their eyes. " Assassin!"
" Don't let her escape!"
Starfania didn't hesitate. She spun, locking eyes with Atlas, and sliced her hand through the air.
" Fly," she ordered urgently. " Highest roof. I'll meet you there."
Atlas hesitated for only a fraction of a second—then launched skyward, vanishing into the night. Aeron and Violet stared in horror as Starfania turned and ran, blood staining her sleeves.
" Star—!" Violet cried, clutching Drogo's scales. Starfania bolted through the streets as chaos exploded behind her. Cesar's guards poured in from every direction now, horns blaring, torches flaring. She vaulted over crates, slammed through narrow passageways, scrambled up ladders and stone ledges, her breath burning in her chest. Above it all, unseen, the Castle Keeper's guards repositioned—silent, patient.
She won't make it, one thought coldly. Starfania climbed—hands raw, lungs screaming—until she hauled herself onto the roof of the tallest building in the district. The city sprawled beneath her, fire and shadow tangled together. She turned. Three guards stepped forward, weapons raised, faces hard.
" Don't move!" One barked. " On your knees!"
Behind them, farther back, a fourth figure knelt at the edge of a nearby roof, bow drawn, arrow trained perfectly on her heart. The Castle Keeper's final answer. Starfania's chest heaved. She glanced at the edge of the roof—at the empty air beyond it.
No escape. For a moment, she closed her eyes. Mother. Bone. Her baby brother and now Atlas. Then she opened them—and ran.
" What are you—?!" A guard shouted. Starfania leapt. The guards rushed to the edge just as silence swallowed her falling form. Then—a thunderous rush of wind. Atlas shot up from below, wings snapping open like the night itself answering her calls. Starfania hit his back hard, arms locking around his neck as he surged skyward in one powerful motion. The archer froze. The shot was gone. Slowly, the Castle Keeper's guard lowered his bow. Too late. Above the rooftops, Violet and Aeron screamed with joy from Drogo's back.
