Chapter 144: The Thread of the Weaver's Ending
Kaelen and Lira face the price demanded by the hollow: the thread of the weaver's ending. The First Weaver's voice reveals that Kaelen must become a living bridge between worlds, a sacrifice that would separate him from Lira forever. But the child weaver returns with a third path, offering a reunion that requires both to give up who they are.
