But Angel had already taken a bite. She didn’t fall or turn to ash. Instead, she laughed—a sound like wind chimes—and her shadow split into three separate shadows, each one dancing in a different direction.

And my garden is screaming.” She placed a small glass vial on the table—the dirt inside it glittered with faint, unnatural phosphorescence. “That’s from my petunia bed. It glows under UV light. It never used to.” Lea Lexis- Ella Nova- Angel Allwood

Ella took the vial, holding it up to the dim café light. Her scientific detachment flickered into genuine wonder. “Bio-luminescent soil contamination… with a pattern .
