After Kael Draven left, Garth Caiden and Ella Conway didn’t linger either.They moved quickly, leaving the Flame Forest behind, intent on heading straight to Flame City. Everything they had gathered needed to be transported back to the Draven Clan in Emberfall Town—there was no time to waste.But just as they stepped out of the forest, two familiar figures appeared: Tyrian Hexley and Cassian Hexley. The moment their eyes met, a chill ran through the air. Garth Caiden and Ella Conway immediately sensed the raw power radiating off these two, and their faces hardened.“Well, this is unexpected,” one of the Hexley brothers sneered. “We didn’t get to see Kael Draven, but at least we get to see you. In the end… it’s the same.”“As elders of the Blood Sea Sect, don’t you care about being laughed at for acting like this?” Garth Caiden shot back.“Laughed at us?”Tyrian Hexley and Cassian Hexley erupted into laughter—low, mocking, and dripping with contempt.

The enormous valley felt almost dreamlike—the fog softened jagged cliffs and ancient trees into shapes that seemed

Zeric Jasper, Kael Draven, and Jack Holden slipped into the quiet pavilion and settled around the stone table. A soft breeze brushed past the carved beams overhead, but Jack Holden didn’t even glance up—his mind was already racing.“Brother Jasper, Brother Draven,” he blurted, leaning in, “what exactly happened back there?”He genuinely couldn’t wrap his head around it. Four days. Just four. And in that short window, Kael Draven had blasted through realm after realm until he hit mid–Human King. It sounded like something out of a story, not something a real person could do.Zeric Jasper laughed lightly and gave him the rundown. By the end, Jack Holden just sat there, exhaling hard, still trying to calm himself.He knew Zeric Jasper well—knew exactly what it meant if he was willing to lend out the Purple Thunder Stone. That thing had cost him years of fighting, grinding, and nearly dying for. If he gave it to Kael Draven without hesitation, then he clearly saw something in him.Still, J
