    Summary

    The war had ended. Peace spread as the remnants of the RDA fled the Western Frontier, only leaving behind scraps of metal. Pandora began to heal, stitching the wounds of time closed with root and vine. Life moved forward. The Resistance turned its focus back to Ewya's world. Alma returned to her body. Ri'nela learned the weight of a tsahìk's voice. Teylan shaped metal into something meant to protect, rather than destroy.

    Yet, Tamtey did not find peace.

    Sleep brought memories of TAP that drove her from her bed night after night. Only the wind beneath unfamiliar stars eased the ache. She was rarely alone for long. So'lek always found her there. They shared the quiet until dawn, trading dreams and the horrors that kept them awake. Still, the forest trembled. Ewya's song wavered, strained by something distant - only drawing closer. Smoke stained the horizon. Thin and gray, whispering against the clouds.

    A flake of ash drifted down, landing on Tamtey's knee. So'lek brushed it away, pinching it until it vanished.

    "Ash..." he murmured.

    "And fire," Tamtey replied, her voice unwavering.

    The forest fell silent around them. Even the animals did not cry out.

    A new enemy was coming.
