Recap of the Previous Chapter
The storm above the Tower revealed its hunger, twisting into a colossal eye that seemed to watch Jemil and his wives from beyond the veil of reality. Alvara stood firm with her blade, Mira invoked the ocean to steady their ground, Lura howled against the raging winds, and Yura's sly wit kept the creeping terror at bay. Yet even their combined strength felt small compared to the intelligence peering from the storm.
And then, from the spiral of lightning and shadow, a reflection stepped forth. A figure that was not simply an enemy, but something impossibly tied to Jemil himself. With every breath of thunder, the Tower whispered: This is the trial you cannot escape.
