Below, Silver Eyes collapsed fully.
Her sight was gone.
Darkness consumed her vision completely.
Then—
Light returned.
But not the same silver as before.
Ancient symbols rotated within her irises.
Memories not her own flooded in.
She saw the birth of the Lords.
The forging of Azrath's chains.
The creation of the Devourer bloodline.
And herself.
"You are not merely an observer," a distant voice echoed within her.
"You are the Counterweight."
She gasped.
Her power had never been foresight.
It was equilibrium.
Above, the eclipse pulsed again.
Silver Eyes rose slowly.
If Kaito was the Key—
She was the Lock.
And the balance had finally awakened.
