Chapter 88. Ashes in the Dark
Jonah floated in nothing. No fire. No ground. No sky. Just silence. His body felt heavy, as if it were turning to stone. His claws no longer burned. His wings were gone. Even the glow in his eyes had dimmed. He could barely tell if he was breathing.For a moment, he thought, maybe this was it. Maybe he had burned too much. Maybe he had finally given everything.The silence pressed down on him, thick and suffocating. Then, faintly, a whisper came. “Jonah.”His eyes opened weakly. The voice was soft, small, trembling, but real. Kevin. Jonah tried to speak, but only a rasp left his throat. “Kid…”A glow flickered in the dark ahead. Small. Fragile. Golden. Kevin’s glow. The boy’s soul floated there, chained by faint strands of shadow still clinging to him. His eyes were wide with fear, but filled with determination. “Jonah… you can’t stop now. You have to come back. Please.”Jonah’s chest clenched. He wanted to move toward him, but his body was frozen. His fire was gone. “I… I can’t,” J
Chapter 89. Vessel of Fire
Jonah opened his eyes, but it wasn’t the world he remembered. The void was gone. The shadows were gone. Even Kevin’s glow was gone. He stood in a place that looked like fire turned inside out, dark flames licking the ground, golden sparks falling from a sky that wasn’t real. His own body glowed faintly, but cracks spread across his skin, leaking smoke instead of light. For a moment, Jonah thought he was dead, then the voice came. “You are not dead. Not yet. You are mine now.”Jonah staggered, clutching his chest. The wound where the tendril had struck still burned, the shadow coiling inside him like a living thing. He gritted his teeth, snarling into the dark. “Get out of me.”The Hive laughed, its voice echoing from everywhere. “Out? Foolish fire. I am not inside you. You are inside me.”Jonah’s claws sparked weakly, golden fire sputtering at his fingertips. His body trembled, his strength nearly gone. But his golden eyes burned fierce. “I beat you. Kevin and I broke your seed.”“
Chapter 90. Between Fire and Shadow
Kevin’s eyes snapped open. He wasn’t in the void anymore. He wasn’t chained. He was lying on broken stone, breathing hard, his small body trembling. The real world pressed around him, the ruined chamber, the air thick with smoke, the ground cracked from the battle, and Jonah.Kevin’s breath hitched. Jonah’s body lay beside him, shaking violently. Golden fire blazed from one side of him, while red corruption writhed across the other. His claws glowed half-gold, half-black. His wings twisted, one made of light, the other dripping shadow like tar.Kevin crawled to him, tears already running down his face. “Jonah! Please, wake up!”Jonah’s body arched, his mouth opening in a silent scream. Fire and shadow burst from him in violent waves, scorching the ground. Kevin shielded his face, crying harder. “Don’t leave me! Don’t let it take you!”Behind him, voices gasped. Lisa stumbled into view, her clothes torn, her face streaked with blood and dirt. Her eyes widened in horror. “Dear God…”
Chapter 91. The Ashes of Fire
The world was burning. The chamber shook as fire and shadow exploded together, throwing debris across the ground. The blast sent the survivors tumbling back, some screaming as their weapons clattered. Smoke filled the air, choking and heavy, while the floor cracked beneath the weight of power.Kevin held on. He didn’t let go even when Jonah’s body convulsed. He didn’t let go even when golden fire scorched his hands or when shadow clawed at his skin. His small arms wrapped tight around Jonah’s chest, and his tears soaked into the man’s broken shirt. “Don’t leave me,” Kevin whispered again and again. “Don’t leave me…”The fire raged louder, swallowing his voice. Lisa stumbled forward, shielding her eyes from the light. “Kevin! Get back!”But Kevin shook his head, his voice breaking. “No! If I let go, he’ll be gone!”Lisa froze. For a second, she almost reached for him. But the heat burned her hand back, and fear twisted in her chest. She could see Jonah’s body, splitting apart, one s
Chapter 92. The Thing Beneath the Ruins
The ground shook harder. Kevin gasped as the stone floor cracked wide beneath them, dust rising in choking clouds. He clung tighter to Jonah’s arm, his small body trembling. Jonah lay weak, his golden eye barely open, his crimson one flickering like a dying flame. Lisa scrambled to her feet, her eyes wide. “Everyone back! Move!”The survivors scattered, pressing against the broken walls. Their boots scraped across the stone, weapons raised with shaking hands.Another rumble came, deeper this time, rolling through their bones. The sound wasn’t just in the ground, it was in the air, in their chests, in their teeth. It was the sound of something vast and ancient.Kevin shook Jonah’s arm desperately. “Jonah, wake up! Please! Something’s coming!”Jonah groaned faintly, his lips parting. His voice was hoarse, almost broken. “Stay… back…”The crack in the ground widened. Red light bled through, pulsing like a heartbeat. Heat rolled out, scorching their skin. Then came the sound, wet, slith
Chapter 93. The Weight of
The smoke had not cleared. Ash still hung in the air, falling like black snow across the broken chamber. The red light from below was gone, smothered by Jonah’s fire, but the heat still lingered, heavy and choking. The survivors stood frozen, their eyes fixed on the man at the center. Jonah.He was on his knees, his chest heaving, smoke rising from his claws. Kevin clung to his side, his small body shaking but unyielding. Lisa stood a few steps away, her gun lowered, her eyes wide and wet. Everyone waited for him to move. At last, Jonah lifted his head. One eye glowed gold. The other burned crimson.The survivors gasped. Fear rippled through them. A man muttered under his breath, “He’s not human anymore…”Jonah’s lips moved. His voice was hoarse, broken. “Still… me.” But even as he said it, a whisper crawled from his throat, dark and sharp. “No… he is mine.”Kevin’s eyes widened, tears filling them. “No! Don’t say that! He’s not yours!”Jonah clutched his chest, his claws digging i
Chapter 94. A Hit at His Back
The ruins groaned. The walls cracked, dust raining from the ceiling as stone shifted above them. The floor trembled with each shake, as if the Hive’s fall had broken the very bones of the earth. The survivors stood frozen, staring at Jonah.He stood unsteady in the center, one wing blazing gold, the other dripping black fire. His claws burned with both light and shadow. His golden eye flickered weakly, his crimson one glowing stronger in the smoke. Lisa’s chest rose and fell with quick breaths. She wanted to run to him. She wanted to pull Kevin back, but she stood still, caught between fear and faith.The survivors whispered harshly. “We can’t take him with us. He’s dangerous! He’ll kill us all in our sleep!”Kevin spun on them, his small body trembling, his voice breaking but fierce. “Stop saying that! He saved you! He saved all of us!”The man who had spoken the loudest spat on the ground. “He’s not Jonah anymore. He’s half monster.”Kevin’s face turned red with fury. “He’s my fa
Chapter 95. Vessel of Fire
The chamber was silent. Silent, except for the crackle of shadow fire spreading from Jonah’s body, burning black and red across the broken stone. The smoke swirled thick, choking the air. The survivors froze, staring at him with pale faces.Jonah stood tall in the center, his wings spread wide, one completely black now, dripping fire like blood. His claws burned crimson. His golden eye was gone. Only red light glared from his face.And Kevin was still in his arms, small and trembling, refusing to let go. Lisa’s throat tightened. “Jonah…”The voice that came from his mouth was not his own. It was deeper, sharper, crawling with venom.“He is no longer Jonah. He is mine.”Kevin shook his head violently, his tears falling. “No! He’s still Jonah! You’re lying!”The crimson eye turned down at him. For a heartbeat, the red glow softened, just slightly. Then it flared again.The survivors raised their weapons. Their hands shook, but their eyes were hard. Derek shouted, his voice cracking. “Wh
Chapter 96. The Line That Cannot Break
The chamber trembled with fire. Jonah’s claws were raised high, dripping black and red flame. His wings spread wide, one shadow, one broken. His crimson eyes burned hotter than ever, the gold all but gone. The roar in his throat was not human, it was the Hive’s.The survivors screamed, ducking behind stone. Derek shouted, “He’s going to kill us all!”Lisa’s hands shook on her weapon. She wanted to fire. She wanted to save the boy. But her heart screamed against it.And Kevin stood in front of Jonah, his small arms spread wide, tears running down his face. “Do it, Jonah!” he cried, his voice cracking. “If you have to hit someone, hit me! But don’t become him!”Jonah froze. The Hive’s voice snarled inside him. “Strike. End the boy. End your weakness. Then you will be free.”Jonah’s claws shook violently. His chest burned. His breath came ragged. His crimson eye blazed.Kevin’s voice broke again, desperate. “I know you! You’re not a monster! You’re Jonah! You’re mine!”The chamber went
Chapter 97. The Half-Born Monster
The air was heavy with smoke and the bitter stink of burnt flesh. The battlefield was quiet for the first time in hours, but it was not peaceful. It was the kind of silence that follows when people are too shocked to speak, and in the middle of that silence was Jonah.He was on his knees, his body bent forward, trembling as if torn by invisible claws. His skin glowed in patches, light and shadow fighting for space across him. Golden fire burned along his arms and shoulders, but in the same places, black veins swelled and spread like roots of rot. One half of his face looked human, weary, alive. The other half twisted, cheekbone sharp, jaw longer, his eye a deep red slit glowing like a predator. Everyone stared. No one dared move.Kevin was the only one who rushed forward. The boy flung his arms around Jonah, even as Jonah’s form shifted under his hands. His claws dug into the dirt, inches away from Kevin’s legs, but the child held on anyway. “Jonah! Please don’t go! Please stay wi
