Intro. The demon awoke not from fire, but from silence. When Arelia entered the abandoned weather station on the salt plateau, she didn't hear anything at first—no howling of the wind, no cracking of the metal. The world seemed to hold its breath. In the middle of the room was a circle of fine, black sand, drawn so precisely that it looked unnatural. Arelia didn't know why she touched him. Maybe because the circle was warm. Perhaps because her own heart had been beating cold for years.
