Chapter 200: The Threadbare Choice
A new figure steps from the silver path, offering Kaelen a final glimpse of the pattern's true cost. The child's golden thread pulls toward the new world, but the stranger reveals that Theron's call carries a thread of its own—one that will unravel if Kaelen does not return before the last echo fades. Kaelen must choose between the ordinary life he has never known and the unfinished story waiting in Eldoria, while the child's hand grows cold in his.
The figure stepped fully into the light, and Kaelen saw that it was neither man nor woman, but something older—a shape woven from silver threads and the memory of dawn. Its face was a tapestry of shifting expressions, each one a glimpse of a life that might have been. The child gasped and hid her face against Kaelen's chest, her golden thread flickering.
"You have done well, Kaelen of the unwanted prophecy," the figure said, its voice a chorus of echoes. "The pattern is complete, but the weaving is never finished. The new world awaits the child. The old world waits for you."
Kaelen felt the golden thread on his wrist pulse, warm and insistent. The silver path behind the figure shimmered, and he heard Theron's voice again, fainter now, as if carried across a great distance.
