Chapter 85 – The Shattered Dawn
At first, there was nothing. No sound. No weight. No pain. Just endless drifting, as though the universe itself had exhaled and forgotten to breathe again.Emily’s eyes fluttered open. Above her stretched not void, not white silence, but a sky fractured like glass shards of light and darkness shifting endlessly. The ground beneath her was soft, an endless field of ash glowing faintly gold.She tried to move. Agony roared through her body, every nerve shredded, every breath a knife. Blood stained her lips, but she forced her eyes wider.Her hand was clenched around something. Adrian. He lay beside her, chest rising shallowly, golden light leaking from his wounds. His face was pale, lips cracked, but alive. Barely.Emily dragged herself closer, pressing her forehead against his. Tears burned down her cheeks. “We made it… I don’t know how, but we made it.”His eyelids fluttered, and a faint sound escaped his throat. “…Emily…”Her heart nearly broke with relief. “I’m here.” He coughed, bl
Chapter 86 – The Fall Between Worlds
The chasm swallowed them whole. Emily’s scream tore into the void, her fingers locked desperately with Adrian’s. Around them, the fractured world disintegrated into shards of light and coils of shadow, raining down like broken stars.The wind howled not real wind, but the rush of existence collapsing inward. Their bodies tumbled helplessly, pulled deeper into the abyssal spiral.Adrian’s grip was unyielding, even as blood streamed from his arms and golden sparks bled through the cracks in his skin. His eyes locked onto hers, fierce and terrified all at once. “Don’t let go, Emily!”“I never will!” she cried, her voice breaking under the roar of the storm.The spiral twisted tighter, funneling them downward. At the bottom, two doors waited, one forged from blinding white fire, the other from endless black steel. Both pulsed violently, each one a maw waiting to consume.Emily’s stomach lurched as the pull intensified, each door dragging at their bodies with magnetic fury. Her skin bliste
Chapter 87 – The World That Shouldn’t Exist
The fall seemed endless. Emily’s lungs burned, her scream long since torn from her throat. The storm of colors around them bent and twisted, hues she had no names for bleeding into one another, searing her eyes until tears streamed down her face.Her hands clung to Adrian’s with iron desperation. His body flared with golden cracks, his skin splitting like porcelain under too much strain. Sparks of blood and light scattered into the storm as though the abyss itself was feeding on him.“Adrian!” she cried, pulling him closer as if sheer willpower could hold him together. His lips moved, broken and breathless. “…Don’t… let… go…”The colors thickened, condensing into walls of shifting light and shadow. The air pressed heavy, like they were plunging through liquid glass.Emily’s body screamed in pain, her veins on fire with the shards’ energy. She thought her bones might shatter but then, just as suddenly as it began, the fall ended. They hit ground with bone jarring force.Emily gasped, t
Chapter 88 – The Ashes of Light
Silence. For a heartbeat, the world was nothing but silence. Emily floated in the void, her body numb, her ears ringing with the echo of Adrian’s final scream.Her arms still stretched out, clutching at nothing but fragments of golden light that scattered through her fingers like ashes.“No…” Her voice cracked, raw and hollow. She grabbed desperately at the fading sparks, pressing them against her chest. “No, no, no don’t you dare disappear!”The Between was gone. The storm of fractured colors had collapsed into a blank, infinite expanse. There was no sky, no ground, no horizon. Just endless whiteness, blinding and empty.Emily’s knees buckled as her body sank into nothingness. Pain roared through her every wound from the battle, every shard embedded in her veins, every ounce of exhaustion. But none of it compared to the shattering weight in her chest.Adrian was gone. She didn’t know how long she stayed there, clutching light that no longer warmed her. Minutes. Hours. A lifetime. The
Chapter 89 – Shattered Truths
The impact ripped through Emily’s body like lightning. The false Adrian’s chest erupted in golden fire where her spear fragments sank, the flames spreading in jagged cracks across its ashen form.For a heartbeat, she thought she’d won, thought she had destroyed the abomination wearing his voice. But then the tendrils tightened.Her ribs groaned under the crushing grip. The false Adrian’s molten gold eyes blazed as it pulled her closer, its voice a sickening blend of Adrian’s warmth and something darker, hollow.“…You stabbed me, Emily. You stabbed him.”Her heart seized. She tried to rip the shards free, but they were locked in place, fused to its chest. Energy surged back through her arms, burning her veins with molten light.Emily screamed, collapsing to her knees as the figure leaned down, its cracked face inches from hers.“…Do you feel it? His light… fading with me?”Golden sparks scattered violently, flooding into Emily’s chest. Her mind fractured under the assault visions rippi
Chapter 90 – Twin Shadows
The abyss swallowed everything. Emily’s body spun weightlessly, her screams lost in the void. Fragments of Adrian’s light and ash spiraled around her, scattering like dying stars. Her hands clawed desperately at the darkness, reaching for the shape of him but all she felt was emptiness.Then, the world jolted. Her back slammed against something solid. She gasped, coughing violently as air seared her lungs.She staggered to her knees, finding herself on the surface of another impossible plain, this one black as obsidian, veins of molten gold glowing faintly beneath its skin.Above her stretched a fractured sky, torn between blinding light and devouring shadow. Each side warred against the other, crackling with thunder that shook the ground beneath her.And at the center of it all, Adrian. Emily froze, her chest constricting. Adrian hovered above the ground, but not as one. His body had split.On one side floated a figure of radiant gold, his features sharp, serene, untouchable. His gra
Chapter 91 – The Empty Space
The storm lingered long after the explosion had passed. Rivers of molten gold and veins of black fire bled into one another, hissing as they collided.The fractured plain lay in ruin, half of it scorched bright as dawn, the other half drowned in endless night. The sky above was no longer whole, it had shattered into shards of light and void, suspended like broken glass.And in the center of it all stood two figures. Adrian’s light. Adrian’s shadow. They stared at the empty space where Emily had been.For the first time since their separation, neither spoke. The golden half stood tall, but his eyes still molten suns flickered uneasily. His chest rose and fell, breath controlled but shallow, as if even perfection itself could feel a tremor of fear.The ashen half stumbled forward, his body cracked, leaking rivers of shadow with every step. His face twisted in anguish, voice breaking as he rasped, “…She’s gone. You killed her.”The golden half’s head snapped toward him. His tone remained
Chapter 92 – Into the Storm
The moment they let go, the world ceased to exist. The chasm’s pull tore through them like claws, ripping away fragments of light and shadow.The storm wasn’t just wind or gravity, it was memory, fear, regret, and rage all weaponized, crashing against them in relentless waves.The golden Adrian’s body fractured into burning threads, each strand of light dragging him toward dissolution.The shadow Adrian fared no better, his form splintering into shards of black glass, his edges bleeding into nothing. But through the chaos, both saw her. Emily.Suspended in the storm’s core, her body translucent, her essence unraveling with every surge. Her face twisted in agony, but her eyes half-golden, half-dark still reached for them.The storm clawed deeper. Images swarmed them: The orphanage fire. The dojo floor.The alley where Adrian first met Emily. The rooftop where she smiled at him, the first smile that wasn’t pity or cruelty.The golden half gritted his teeth, every image fueling his resol
Chapter 93 – The Mirror of One
Silence. The kind that isn’t peace but suffocation. Adrian opened his eyes or thought he did. He was lying flat on his back against a surface that wasn’t floor, stone, or sky. Just endless glass, black and gold, stretching infinitely outward.Above him loomed nothing. No stars, no storm. Just a dome of empty reflection.He sat up slowly, breath rattling in his chest. His body ached, but when he touched his arms, he felt… whole. No cracks of light, no bleeding shadow. His hands were his own scarred, human, trembling.But when he leaned forward, the glass beneath him rippled and showed his face. Two faces.On one side, his reflection glowed with golden perfection. On the other, it burned with shadow, eyes hollowed by rage. Both stared back at him with equal intensity.Adrian’s heart hammered. “No… it’s not over.”The reflections smiled. The glass rippled again, and the golden reflection stepped out, solid and breathing. His presence radiated warmth, his every movement calm, assured, fla
Chapter 94 – The Abyss of Memory
Darkness had no bottom. Emily fell through it like a raindrop sliding down endless glass. There was no rush of wind, no sensation of speed, only silence. The kind that crushed thought. The kind that devoured hope.Her body was weightless, dissolving. She tried to scream, but the sound vanished before it left her lips.Am I… gone?For a moment, she almost let herself drift. It would be easier. Just surrender. No more fear, no more blood, no more Adrian tearing himself apart.But then, a faint warmth brushed her fingertips. A memory. She was standing barefoot in the training yard. Adrian was there, bruised and panting, refusing to put down the wooden sword though his arms shook violently.“You’ll break yourself,” she had told him. His reply had been ragged but stubborn. “Then I’ll break until I’m strong enough to protect you.”The image shattered, scattering like glass, and Emily’s chest convulsed with sudden grief. “No,” she whispered into the abyss. “I can’t forget this. I won’t.”Her
