Chapter 359

• Sofia and Enrico had stepped up, their hands steady as they guided the newly-turned Fae through the wall’s shimmering threshold. Every few minutes, another burst of blinding light exploded, leaving afterimages that danced in our vision, as more Fae emerged, their presence filling the air with both urgency and promise.
• I found my gaze drifting to Leonardo, standing amidst a group of warriors, some familiar faces from days past. Dante stood by his side, ever watchful, his silence more telling than words. Then, from the western corridor, a flash of midnight hair and dark attire slipped into view—Delfino, High Lord of the Night Court, moving with the grace of someone who'd endured and emerged stronger.
• Delfino was the only one to have undergone a transformation for the better since our harrowing battle. His once gaunt form, a silent testament to his sister’s cruelty, had filled out, muscles now sculpting a frame that spoke of recovery and power. He approached Leonardo and Dante, nodding to the warriors who bowed in deference.
