Chapter 153
The Light Without Color
Kaelen and the woman face the being of colorless light tearing the sky beyond the boundary.

“It is the first,” the woman beside him said. Her voice was steady, but her hand trembled against his. “Before the first weaver, before the loom, before the thread was drawn from the void—there was this. It was the breath that stirred the silence. It was the question that had no answer.”
