Chapter 9
Chapter 9: The Third Bell
Theron reveals that the prophecy was always intended to end the kingdom, and both he and Kaelen are the instruments of that destruction. The third bell tolls, and the archive begins to collapse as the golden threads guide them toward a final confrontation with the Weaver.
The third bell tolled, a deep and resonant sound that seemed to come from everywhere at once. The walls of the archive shuddered, and dust rained from the ceiling. Kaelen felt the golden thread on his wrist tighten, pulling him forward, toward Theron.
"What do you mean, instruments of destruction?" Kaelen asked, his voice barely audible over the ringing of the bell.
Theron stepped closer, his golden thread pulsing in time with the bell. "The First Weaver didn't weave a prophecy to save Eldoria. She wove a curse—a slow unraveling designed to bring the kingdom to an end. The loom is failing because it was always meant to fail. We are the final threads, Kaelen. The ones that will complete the tapestry and seal the kingdom's fate."
