Seraphine POV
But there was only silence. No divine choir. No glowing light. No dramatic entrance. Just me. Kneeling there like an idiot talking to caffeine. But still…My chest felt heavy. Because I knew. They were listening. Novella. Maybe even the Under Realm. Watching. Waiting. Judging my life choices and chaotic life. So, I exhaled slowly.
Then I placed my hand over my chest and closed my eyes. And spoke. Not loudly. Not dramatically. Just honestly. "…Novella. Goddess?" The name felt strange on my tongue. Sacred. Dangerous and intimate. "You told me to find something familiar but unfamiliar." I swallowed. "You told me to return the thread of fate."
My fingers curled slightly. "But everything is broken." My voice dropped.
Silence answered me. But I continued. Because something inside me needed to say it. I needed to ask. "If you're listening…" My throat tightened. "…give me a clue."
