Zeke's POV
Motherno, the Midnight Queenhad split her power between us at birth. Fire to Sienna. Memory to me. But she never expected what would happen when those powers reunited.
As the ritual magic flowed through my veins, I felt a bridge form between our thoughts. Suddenly, I could feel Sienna's anger burning through me. I could see through her eyes as she stared at our mother with hate.
"She's awake," I whispered, though my lips didn't move.
The Queen smiled down at my physical body. "Perfect. The memories are unlocking."
If only she knew what was really happening.
Through our new link, I sent Sienna imageseverything I'd learned about the Midnight Syndicate, the Celestial Gate, the trapped god waiting beyond.
"Zeke?" Sienna's voice repeated in my mind, shocked and confused. "How are you in my head?"
"The ritual," I answered quietly. "It connected us. Listen carefully. Mother plans to sacrifice us both to open the gate completely."
