Starfania stirred, the cold, uneven ground pressing against her side. The rough texture sent a sharp wave of discomfort through her body. She tried to roll, searching for something softer—but before she could, a sudden thud jolted her fully awake. Her midnight eye flew open. Confusion washed over her as she realized she wasn't on forest ground anymore. She had fallen out of bed. Disoriented, she pushed herself upright, one hand brushing against a dust-coated stone floor. The dim light barely reached the corners of the cramped space. As her vision adjusted, her pulse began to race. Metal bars. Thick iron bars enclosed her.

Her stomach twisted violently. She was in a jail cell. Panic clawed at her chest as she stumbled to her feet, rubbing at her sternum as if she could physically press the fear away. Her mind raced, desperately trying to piece together what had happened. The last thing she remembered was sitting beside Atlas, whispering beneath the stars...and then sleep. A groan sounded behind her. She spun around, heart leaping—then sagged in relief when she saw Aeron pushing himself off the ground, his face etched with the same confusion she felt.
" What happened?" He muttered, his voice thick with grogginess.
" Good to see you too, Aeron," Starfania said hoarsely. " And I was hoping you could tell me."
She swallowed hard, scanning the cell again. Stone walls. Rusted hinges. A single flickering torch outside the bars. Then Aeron froze. His eyes widened in sudden horror.
" Violet!" he shouted, panic rippling through his voice. " Where is she? Where's my sister?!"
He sprang to his feet, gripping the bars and scanning every shadow beyond them, his fear raw and unmistakable.
" I'm here." The familiar voice made Starfania whirl around. Relief flooded her chest as she spotted Violet huddled in the far corner of the cell. She looked pale, her knees drawn to her chest—but her eyes were steady.
" I...I'm okay," Violet said, though her voice trembled.
Aeron rushed to her side, barely noticing the bars separating them as he crouched in front of her.
" What happened?" he demanded, searching her face and arms. " Are you hurt?"
" No, just scared," Violet replied softly. She glanced around the cell, her voice dropping. " They took us by surprise."
That was when another realization hit Starfania like ice.
" Hey—" she said carefully, dread creeping into her tone, " not to add to the list of problems, but...where are Atlas and Drogo?"
Aeron's expression darkened.
" I don't know," he admitted quietly. " They were there—and then they weren't."
Violet's eyes widened. " What if something happened to them? We can't leave without them."
" We won't," Aeron said firmly, though worry threaded his voice. " First, we figure out where we are. Then we figure out how we got separated."
