THE LAST DAY OF TOMORROW
<p>Chapter One — The Last Goodbye</p><p>The city was burning.</p><p>Not metaphorically.</p><p>Actually burning.</p><p>Buildings that had stood for hundreds of years were collapsing beneath the red glow of the artificial moon. Flying vehicles fell from the sky like dead birds. Magical barriers flickered above the streets before disappearing completely.</p><p>And somehow, in the middle of all of it, Nia was smiling.</p><p>She stood on the roof of an abandoned train station, blood running down the side of her face.</p><p>Across from her stood Elias.</p><p>Her best friend.</p><p>Her enemy.</p><p>Maybe both.</p><p>“You really did it,” he whispered.</p><p>Nia looked at the device in her hand.</p><p>The Chrono Core.</p><p>The machine capable of sending one message backward through time.</p><p>Not a person.</p><p>Not an army.</p><p>Just a message.</p><p>One chance to change everything.</p><p>Elias stepped closer.</p><p>“If you send that message, you won't remember any of this.”</p><p>“I know.”</p><p>“You won't remember me.”</p><p>Nia's smile disappeared.</p><p>“I know.”</p><p>“You might not even survive long enough to see whether it worked.”</p><p>She looked toward the burning city.</p><p>“Then I guess I'll never know.”</p><p>Elias looked heartbroken.</p><p>“Why are you doing this?”</p><p>Nia pressed her hand against the Chrono Core.</p><p>“Because tomorrow shouldn't look like this.”</p><p>The machine began to glow.</p><p>Elias grabbed her wrist.</p><p>“Nia.”</p><p>She looked at him one last time.</p><p>“I'm sorry.”</p><p>The machine activated.</p><p>A blinding white light swallowed the city.</p><p>And the last thing Nia heard before everything disappeared was Elias screaming her name.</p>
