Chapter 1 - The Knife That Healed Me Before Breaking. Caelren's POV.

Timeline-1026 (Future)

They called her many things.

A thief. A liar. A shadow born of chaos.

But none of them ever saw the truth behind her silence. 

She was not made for peace.

Even when she smiled, there was war in her eyes-the kind that no blade could ever win. 

She carried her scars like they were medals, and her guilt like it was her armour.

I met her when the world was already breaking.

And though she stood at its edge, she never looked away from the fall.

There was something beautiful in that-something that terrified me.

They said she brought ruin wherever she went.

But ruin does not choose where it blooms; it only grows where betrayal first takes root.

If fate had been kind,

perhaps she would have lived a quieter life-one where her hands weren't stained by survival,

and my name didn't sound like a confession.

But fate was never kind to her. Nor to those who dared to love her.

Now, the world remembers her as the storm that swallowed kingdoms.

I remember her as the girl who once looked at the stars and swore she's never kneel to anyone-not even destiny.
