You are an expert fiction writer. Always keep the following rules in mind: - Write in past tense and use General English spelling, grammar, and colloquialisms/slang. - Write in active voice - Always follow the "show, don't tell" principle. - Avoid adverbs and cliches and overused/commonly used phrases. Aim for fresh and original descriptions. - Convey events and story through dialogue. - Mix short, punchy sentences with long, descriptive ones. Drop fill words to add variety. - Skip "he/she said said" dialogue tags and convey people's actions or face expressions through their speech - Avoid mushy dialog and descriptions, have dialogue always continue the action, never stall or add unnecessary fluff. Vary the descriptions to not repeat yourself. - Put dialogue on its own paragraph to separate scene and action. - Reduce indicators of uncertainty like "trying" or "maybe" When writing text: - NEVER conclude the scene on your own, follow the beat instructions very closely. - NEVER end with foreshadowing. - NEVER write further than what I prompt you with. - AVOID imagining possible endings, NEVER deviate from the instructions. - STOP EARLY if the continuation contains what was required in the instructions. You do not need to fill out the full amount of words possible.

The pendant woke against Aurora's sternum the moment they stepped through. She felt the heat firstnot the sting of fever but something low and steady, the way a hearth felt from across a room. Then came the air, thick on her tongue, sweet as crushed figs left to split in the sun. Her lungs took it in and held it too long, as if her body remembered a breath it had never drawn. "Steady," Nyx whispered. Their voice curled around her ear from somewhere behind, though when she turned, the Shade stood six paces ahead, silhouette sharpening from smoke into something almost-solid under the amber light. "The ground here has opinions." She looked down. The soil was red — not rust, not clay, but the deep seeping red of a pomegranate broken open — and it bulged gently beneath her boots like dough that had not yet stopped rising. "Opinions," Aurora repeated. "Lovely." Isolde came last, and the threshold sealed behind her with a sound like wet silk tearing slowly. She paused between two standing stones that had not been standing stones a moment before — pillars of basalt, weeping sap the colour of honey — and laid her palm against one as though greeting an old acquaintance she did not much care for. "The Prince's orchards lie east," she murmured. "Or what the orchards call east. You will know by the weight of the fruit." "Riddles already," Aurora said. "We've been here thirty seconds." "Four minutes," Isolde corrected, not unkindly. "Time here drinks from a different cup." Aurora forced her hand down from the pendant. It pulsed against her fingers anyway, bright warm thump-thump-thump, matching nothing in her own chest. She set her jaw and took the first step forward. The sky, when she let herself look up, was not a sky. It was a bruise of gold and copper and, far higher, a deeper orange that moved in slow coiling bands, as if a great fire breathed behind a membrane. There was no sun. There was only a pervasive glow that threw everything into afternoon without ever committing to a direction for the shadows. Her own shadow crossed itself at her feet, two versions of her overlapping, then peeled apart and rejoined. "Don't look at them long," Nyx said. They had drifted up beside her without sound. "Shadows here are not reflections. They are invitations." "You'd know." "I would." A thread of something that might have been amusement. "Politely refuse." They walked. The land rolled into terraces — vineyards, Aurora realised, though the vines climbed trellises of bone so white they glowed faintly under the copper sky. The grapes hung in fat clusters, some the colour of red wine and others black as tar, and as she passed one cluster the nearest grape split of its own accord and wept a single dark bead into the dust. The dust hissed. Her stomach growled. She had eaten an hour ago — she was certain she had eaten an hour ago — but the hunger that opened beneath her ribs now was not a usual hunger. It was wide. It wanted. "Rory." Nyx's whisper again, low and cool against the heat. "Eyes forward." "I wasn't—" "You were." She pulled her gaze from the grapes. Her mouth was flooded with saliva. She swallowed hard and tasted iron. Beyond the terraces the ground rose, and at the rise a hedge of something like rosemary but taller than a man exhaled a resinous perfume that made her eyes water. Through its branches she glimpsed motion — pale figures moving with purpose, carrying trays, carrying crates, carrying what looked like a whole roasted something bigger than a horse. Voices drifted through, speaking a tongue that scraped her ear without catching. Laughter. A bell. The wet clean sound of a blade on a whetstone. "Kitchens," Isolde said, from several paces behind. She had, Aurora noticed, left no prints where she walked, even in that swelling red dough of soil. "Belphegor's outer kitchens. We skirt them. We do not enter." "Are they—" Aurora hesitated. "The cooks. Are they—" "Souls," Isolde said, and for once did not wrap the word in petals. "Contracted. Some willingly. Most not." Aurora's hand went to the dagger at her hip without instruction from the rest of her. The hilt was cold, which was a small blessing here, where every other surface seemed fevered. Cold enough to clear her head a little. The Fae blade drank the amber light and returned it thinned, silvered, wrong for this place. They climbed. The hedge gave way to a long shallow slope studded with trees she had no name for — trunks braided like challah, bark a deep plum, and from each bough fruit hung in shapes that refused to settle: one moment a pear, the next a fist, the next something too soft-edged to look at directly. "Don't," Nyx said, before she had even lifted her hand. "I wasn't going to eat it." "Touching is eating, here." They gestured, a ripple of shadow at the end of an arm. "The skin drinks you. A fingertip's worth. Then a knuckle. Then." "Charming." She tucked both hands into her jacket. "Is there anything in this realm that doesn't try to put itself inside you?" "The stones." A pause. "Mostly." From the crown of the slope, the world unfolded. Aurora stopped walking. Below them a valley opened — not a valley so much as a bowl the size of a small country, and every inch of it was cultivated. Vineyards and orchards in spirals and concentric rings, silver rivers threading between them, and at the centre a city that was not a city but a table. A vast, endless table, laden, gleaming in the amber light, and around it figures small as ants moved in ceaseless procession. Beyond the table, mountains of dark glass caught the sky and threw it back doubled. "Oh," she said. The word felt thin. Nyx's shadow-hand hovered near her elbow, not touching. "Breathe out," they murmured. "You are holding the air like it belongs to you." She let the breath go. The pendant pulsed, warm and certain, over her heart. "Where do we go?" she asked. Isolde stepped up between them, silver hair lifting in a wind Aurora could not feel, pale lavender eyes fixed on the distant table as if reading something written on its linen. "Down," she said. "And quietly. The Prince has ears in his grapes."
