WoG Chapter 67

Chapter Sixty-Seven: Ghost Home

Kinesee dreams of wandering Endelêun’s lit, sourceless tunnels, seeing faceless portraits and descending a spiral stair to a starry expanse with a wall depicting a red and white lion—Sol and Rin—battling, the white lion asking who she is, sleeping in its bed. Awakening to a ghostly woman echoing the phrase in canonic Silone, Kinesee is startled but unharmed, joined by Meliu, Sîu, Harlik, and Budôê. Meliu confirms the ghost’s words match her dream, suggesting divine or ghostly intervention, possibly from Rin. Compelled to retrace her dream’s path, Kinesee leads the group through the fortress, finding a hidden trapdoor behind a wall knot, descending to tunnels and a spiral stair. The destination, unlike her starry dream, is a chamber with a detailed wooden table carving of Endelêun, embedded with gems like red latcu, and bookcases. Alu discovers a locked tome, which Meliu’s Codex of Sol key opens, revealing an unencrypted original Codex. Meliu deduces Endelêun is the Silone’s ancestral home, Ulrikt’s wars guiding them back after centuries, a revelation that infuriates Kinesee for the lives lost, including her family’s. Rejecting the codex and its implications, she storms out, questioning if Rin orchestrated the dream, her anger and grief clashing with the newfound heritage, leaving her purpose and the ghosts’ motives unresolved.
