Chapter 111 - The gathering storm of memory
The world felt quieter after Ashveil’s destruction, yet the silence was unnatural like the hush before thunder splits the sky. Kael and Selene moved through a stretch of blackened forest, the trees twisted and half burned, their branches humming faintly with dormant aura.For hours, neither spoke. Only the rhythmic crunch of ash underfoot accompanied them.Finally, Selene broke the silence. “You felt it too, didn’t you? The Dominion wasn’t attacking. It was awakening.”Kael nodded slowly, eyes reflecting the faint silver glow from the shard. “Each time I fight using the shard’s resonance, it sends a pulse across the lattice. It’s like… ringing a bell the world hasn’t heard in centuries.”Selene frowned. “And what happens when it finally answers back?”Kael stopped walking. The question lingered in the air like smoke.“I don’t know,” he admitted. “But I think something or someone is already trying to reach me.”He raised his hand, letting the shard hover slightly above his palm. The ai
chapter 112 - The March toward the Ardent Peaks
The northern sky had begun to bleed light. Streaks of violet lightning rolled across the horizon, silent but ceaseless, and beneath that electric canopy, Kael and Selene moved through a wasteland that no map had ever dared to name.Each step crunched over frost-laced stone. The air was thinner here, each breath dragging through lungs like smoke and iron. Every few miles, the remnants of old Dominion pylons jutted from the ground black monoliths etched with symbols that pulsed faintly as Kael passed.Selene noticed it before he did.“They react to you.”Kael slowed, glancing at the glyphs flickering in response to his presence. “They’re recognizing the shard’s frequency,” he murmured. “Or… mine.”She frowned. “Feels like we’re walking through the Dominion’s bloodstream.”Kael almost smiled at that. “Maybe we are.”By midday, the terrain began to rise rolling plains giving way to sheer cliffs veined with streaks of luminous ore. In the distance, the Ardent Peaks towered against the heav
chapter 113 - The Veins of Heaven
The climb began before dawn.Kael and Selene ascended the final stretch of the Ardent Peaks, hands raw from gripping stone that hummed faintly beneath their touch. Lightning slithered across the mountainside like veins of living light, branching through the cliffs in patterns too precise to be natural. Each pulse synchronized faintly with Kael’s heartbeat.“The whole mountain’s alive,” Selene murmured. Her voice was quiet but steady, breath clouding the cold air.Kael nodded. “These aren’t just storms. The Dominion’s current runs through here, the last unbroken artery.”They pressed upward through a canyon of jagged pillars. The air vibrated with energy so dense it blurred the edges of sound. When the first thunder cracked overhead, the echo didn’t fade, it lingered, repeating like a word trying to form itself. Return… Vessel…Selene winced. “It’s talking again.”“It’s not talking,” Kael said, his eyes narrowing. “It’s remembering.”They reached a ledge overlooking a vast valley carv
chapter 114- The crown that remembers
The wind that met them beyond the Veins tasted of dust and metal. The storm had quieted, but its echo still pulsed faintly in Kael’s ears, a rhythm that didn’t belong to this world. Every step down the blackened slope felt heavier than the last.Selene kept a pace beside him, eyes flicking to the mark at his wrist. It no longer glowed, but the skin there was pale and taut, like something inside had gone still.“Still breathing?” she asked.“Barely.”He tried to sound like himself, but the voice that came out was flat. The silence left by the Dominion’s whisper felt almost too quiet as if the absence itself had weight.They reached a cluster of stone arches near the valley’s edge. The pillars were cracked but humming faintly, alive with a residual resonance. Selene crouched, tracing the sigils carved into the foundation.“This wasn’t part of the Veins,” she murmured. “It’s older. Look, the script predates Dominion latticework.”Kael tilted his head. In the dim light, the carvings curve
chapter 115 - The price of echoes
The first light of dawn stretched across the shattered ridge like a blade drawn from its sheath.Kael and Selene trudged through the dust, their silhouettes long and wavering, framed by the red sun rising over the ruins of the Veins.Neither spoke for a while. The world was too raw for words.Selene adjusted her cloak against the wind. “You didn’t say what it showed you,” she said finally.Kael’s steps slowed, boots crunching softly on grit. “A memory,” he said. “But not mine.”“Valen’s?”He nodded once. “His last moments. He wasn’t trying to conquer the Dominion… he was trying to contain it.”Selene frowned. “That doesn’t make sense. The archives call him the Betrayer.”Kael looked out over the horizon, where the air still shimmered faintly, remnants of the storm they’d escaped. “Maybe history doesn’t remember what sacrifice looks like.”The wind carried silence between them again, a silence that felt heavi
chapter 116 - The shadows that remember
The wind outside the Hollow Sanctuary was unnaturally still.No echoes, no birds, no whispers of life, just silence that pressed against the skin like a warning.Kael and Selene moved through the darkened corridors with quiet, deliberate steps. The walls pulsed faintly, alive with veins of light, soft threads weaving through the stone like glowing roots.Selene brushed her hand along one wall, her fingertips tracing the vibration. “It’s reacting to you again,” she murmured.Kael said nothing. He could feel it, the faint pull beneath his ribs, the rhythm of something ancient aligning itself to his heartbeat. Every step deeper into the Sanctuary made that resonance stronger.He could hear it now, faint whispers, like layered voices overlapping time.Fragments of language, thought, grief.Not words he understood, but feelings that bled into his mind.“Kael…”“You walk where the Warden fell…”“Eidryn remembers…”H
chapter 117 - Echoes beneath the skin
The Hollow Sanctuary had grown restless.By the time Kael and Selene reached the upper antechamber, the air itself felt alive, every breath humming with static, every wall faintly breathing light. The glyphs etched across the stone had begun to move, rearranging themselves into new shapes, as though rewriting their own history.Selene pressed a palm against one wall. “It’s shifting again. These markings weren’t here before.”Kael stared at the flowing script, fragments of the Dominion’s language laced with symbols he didn’t recognize. “It’s rewriting itself to mirror my resonance,” he said quietly. “Like it’s… trying to understand what I’ve become.”“Or trying to decide if it should destroy you,” Selene muttered.He didn’t argue.They stopped near a collapsed hallway where moonlight spilled through a broken skylight. The light caught the aura threads running along Kael’s arm, silver turning faintly crimson, like two heartbeats clashing beneath his skin.Selene noticed. “It’s getting w
chapter 118 - The storm that remembers
The wind howled through the valley like a wounded animal.Kael stood at the mouth of the Hollow Sanctuary, staring across the plains where the storm churned dark and violent. Lightning spidered through the clouds, carving brief, brutal lines of silver. In the distance, shadows moved, rows of Dominion skiffs and armored soldiers advancing in eerie silence.Ardyn had come.Selene tightened the strap on her gauntlet. “We can’t outrun that.”“We don’t,” Kael said. His voice was steady, but his pulse was wild. “The Sanctuary’s alive. It won’t let them in easily.”“Won’t let us out either,” she countered.Kael almost smiled. “Then we fight inside its bones.”By the time the first wave of Dominion scouts reached the ridge, the Sanctuary had already begun to shift.Walls of light rose from the ground, weaving themselves into translucent barriers that pulsed with faint memory voices.The air grew heavy, distorted, every sound echoing twice, like the world had started remembering itself.Selene
Chapter 119 - The clash of inheritance
The storm had a pulse.Kael could feel it under his skin, each crack of thunder syncing with the rhythm of his heart. Lightning clawed across the sky, washing the Hollow Sanctuary in flashes of violent white. The ancient stones shimmered, every carved symbol igniting as though recognizing what was about to happen.Selene stood a few paces behind, her cloak snapping in the wind. Her eyes darted between the two men, Kael, breath uneven but defiant, and Ardyn, calm and terrible, the storm bending subtly toward him. The air itself felt brittle, like glass under pressure.Ardyn’s boots struck the wet ground softly as he advanced, each step resonating through the valley. His golden aura shimmered like molten glass, controlled, poised, predatory. “You shouldn’t exist,” he said. His tone wasn’t anger, it was statement, simple and final. “The Core was never meant to split.”Kael’s blade tilted slightly toward the ground, faint trails of silver aura burning
chapter 120 - echoes in the collapse
The world had not stopped trembling.Stone dust rained from the ceiling as the Hollow Sanctuary convulsed, its foundation groaning under the weight of the unleashed Dominion power. Every sigil, every rune on the walls pulsed erratically alive, panicked, as if the ancient structure itself feared what it had just witnessed.Kael knelt in the center of the ruin, his breath ragged, steam rising from his skin. The silver light that once wrapped his aura now flickered white, unstable, trembling like a candle flame about to die.Selene pressed her palm against his back, feeling the tremor beneath his skin. “Kael, can you hear me?”No answer, only the sound of his uneven breathing.She gritted her teeth and shook him harder. “Kael!”His eyes snapped open. For a moment, they were not his eyes at all. Pure white, reflecting nothing.Then the light receded, leaving exhaustion and pain in its wake. He coughed hard, blood splattering
