[HAVEN'S POV - TOMORROW NIGHT]
The divinity shard burned in my palm.
Hidden.
Wrapped in cloth.
But present.
Keeping me Haven.
Keeping Omega Servant at bay.
Twenty-four hours had passed since the Unmasked meeting.
Twenty-four hours of fighting the draining.
Of holding onto my real name.
Of preparing for this.
The Priest who'd given me the shard had also given me something else.
A second mask.
Priest symbol.
Fake.
Created by the rebellion.
Made to overlay my Omega Servant mark.
"It won't fool enforcers up close." He'd warned. "But from distance, in dim light, you'll look like Priest-Fourteen assigned to Moon Court duties."
The Moon Court.
Central district.
Where the moon-core was housed.
Where Luna's divinity fragment powered the entire Sanctuary.
Where only highest authority could enter.
Priests.
High Judges.
Alphas of certain rank.
Not Omega Servants.
Never Omega Servants.
So I wore the fake Priest mask.
