"I said the air tastes weird... It tastes like bacon… and anger."

Some failures leave a mark you can never wash clean. They sit raw inside your marrow, forcing a choice: grow strong enough to carry the weight of everything you couldn't protect, or let it suffocate you.

Passage 00: Transition is officially live, kicking off the next leg of our story with a gripping, multi-perspective look at the immediate shockwaves following The Incident. The mountain has fallen, the dust has barely settled, and every surviving player on the board is waking up to a world that will never be the same.

What Awaits You in Passage 00:

• Hale Skyne: Trapped in a nightmare loop of his worst mistakes, Hale snaps awake to a body he barely recognizes and a landscape burned to ash. The physical scars are real, but the message left behind on the ceiling might carry an even heavier burden.

• Tryp & Kimya: Miles away from the ruin, thirteen-year-old Tryp tries to hold onto the light by babysitting eight-year-old Kimya. But when a playful game of tag turns into a display of untamed, dangerous Willpower magic, a strange sensory bleed on the wind hints that the world just shifted on its axis.

• Timaar Daark: Cool, pot-fueled, and unbothered by the chaos—until he isn't. Timaar just wants to fry up some bacon and crash, but even his laid-back nonchalance can't hide the mounting tension between old allies and new threats.

• Cornelius Graham: Deep within his private compound, the leader of the Hall of Saints is unraveling. Eternally trapped in the body of a fifteen-year-old boy, wearing the grand robes of Death, Graham finds himself haunted by a cold, mocking voice in his skull—and a terrifying realization that his absolute control is slipping.

  
  

The board is set, the lingering energy of battle still hangs thick in the sky, and the battle lines are quietly redrawing themselves in the dark.

Will Hale find the answers left in soot and ash? Can Graham hold onto his sanity before the Saints collapse from within?

There's only one way to find out.
