The Mongolian steppes stretched under a sky heavy with storm clouds, the Ash Veil base—a fortified yurt complex buried beneath a rocky outcrop—its steel glinting through wind-whipped grass. Ruoxi crouched behind a boulder, her breath sharp in the biting cold, her arm scar a faint sting beneath her thermal gear. The phoenix tattoo pulsed—heart-driven, balanced, the pact's vow—"choice, sacrifice, heart to bind"—alive after Iceland's fire. Mei's hand steadied hers, the girl's phoenix tattoo radiant, her guardian spark a fierce flame. Einar flanked her, his tattoo vibrant, his spark honed. Hana stood close, her lotus relic glowing, her spark steady. Ana, the youngest, clung to Ruoxi, her faint tattoo sparking, courage growing. The book's golden hum and Wei's phoenix claw relic rested in her pack, anchors for a legacy of keepers, driven by the pact's call to guard life.
