The Ones Who Didn't Burn
History remembers the ones who burned. It forgot the ones who didn’t. The Ones Who Didn't Burn A reckoning told by Wren of the Ashroot Circle. They tried to burn us. They drowned our daughters, buried our names, salted the earth where we bled. And still, we lived. I’ve fought monsters older than stone. Helped Viktor drive back the Drowned Gods with nothing but will, blood, and the bones of the women they thought they’d erased. We won the war. We bought peace. But peace is brittle. Mortals look at us like smoke they can’t clear. People whisper behind closed doors. And some of my sisters? They never stopped smoldering. Now a new fire’s catching. It starts with a symbol carved deep, and an oath that was never truly broken. We’ve learned to live beside those who once hunted us, but we haven’t forgotten. And when the past claws its way out of the ashes, we’ll show them: We are not the witches who burned. We are the ones who didn’t.
