The Divine in Bron
Arrival at BronBron shimmered under the pink-touched sky, its white towers glowing like bone polished by moonlight. Snake and Dragon rode through the gates in silence until they heard shouting.Pattern’s shouting.No, Pattern’s pleading.They turned a corner and found Glass Liroid pacing frantically in front of her manor, tearing through scrolls, jars, robes, and whatever else she could get her hands on. “Where is it?! Where is it?! Pattern I swear by the founder’s bones…”Pattern looked like he hadn’t slept in weeks. “Glass, please breathe…”“DO NOT TELL ME TO BREATHE!”Snake blinked.Dragon whispered: “She’s worse than usual.”Pattern saw them first and ran over as though salvation had arrived. “Oh, thank the gods…please help me. Please. She’s been like this since last night.”Glass whirled around and marched up to Snake. “WHY are you just standing there?!”“…I only just arrived.”“FIND IT.” “Find what?”Glass froze.Her eyes softened, only for a heartbeat, before she quickly turn
The Scroll and the Road of Shadows
Glass's Secret ScrollSnake had not gone far from Bron’s gates when the memory of Glass’s panic struck him again.She was never frantic, not like that.Never disordered. Never unfocused.Something was wrong.As they traveled with Flavor Liroid, Dragon finally asked:Dragon: “You keep glancing back. What’s wrong?”Snake: “Glass hid something. Pattern covered for her. And she was searching for a scroll.”Flavor, riding on a shimmering divine stag, perked up. “Oho? A scroll? What kind?”Snake shot him a look. “Do you know something?”Flavor tapped his lips. “I know everything, darling. Glass was hiding a prophecy scroll. One written by Xylem herself.”Both Snake and Dragon stopped their mounts. “A prophecy?”Flavor twirled his hair, pleased with the drama he’d dropped. “Mhm. A forbidden one. About a serpent child and the one who will try to steal him."Snake’s blood went cold, “Steal… who?”Flavor smiled. “Your son, of course.”Dragon whispered a curse.Flavor, “Glass saw the future. A s
Blood Eater and the Cry of the Cursed Child
Red at the BorderThe divine border between Bron and the Isle of Darkness shimmered like a silver blade.The moment Snake, Dragon, and Flavor approached, a tall figure stepped from the veil.Hair like flowing magma.Eyes glimmering with playful arrogance.Red Liroid, Flavor’s favorite son.He bowed lazily.Red: “Father, must you act like a woman? Mother prefers you normal.”Flavor shrieked dramatically.Flavor: “My dear Red, I am simply expressing fear. A mortal emotion I am TRYING to understand.”Red rolled his eyes. “Please don’t. Humans cry enough.”Dragon smirked. Snake didn’t. His jaw was locked, too alert, too ready.Red studied him and nodded. “You feel it too, Serpent?”Snake’s eyes darkened. “He’s here.”Flavor stiffened. “Tan?”Red’s eyes turned fully crimson. “Or one of his toys…on Liroid land.”The border wind shifted.The ground trembled.A whisper crawled across the air:“Serpent…”Snake’s fangs itched beneath his skin.Tan Sends an AbominationSince the border belonged
The Root of Eyela
Evilside’s Rage Shakes the RealmsAcross the heavens, every god paused.Across the underlands, every demon hid.Across mortal plains, storms changed direction.Because Evilside, Eyela awoke her wrath.The skies bled red.The rivers boiled.The great tree in Cellok trembled.And the entire world felt her voice, a scream woven through existence:“YOU AGAIN.”For the first time since Seyal’s death, the cosmos knew true terror.Centuries of Buried HorrorLong before Dendra, before Doom, before the Liroid clans were divided, Evilside had once hunted a creature older than gods.Lord Glen, a nobleman who had taken her by force in early Cellok, had vanished for a few years after his encounter with her.When she found him…His body was hollowed out.His ribcage had become a den.A crawling, shifting shadow fed on the bones of the dead,and when Seyal's spirit intervened,He died to protect her.Eyela buried the memory so deep that even the old gods forgot.But the presence she felt now matched
The Severing and the Gods of Kindraloy
FROST AND THE SEVERINGThe Isle of Darkness welcomed them with a cold wind and whispering stones.The moment Frost Liroid stepped onto the sacred grounds, the shadows bent toward him.Snake collapsed the instant his boots touched the obsidian floor.Frost grabbed him before he hit the ground. “Lay him on the altar. Now.”Dragon obeyed immediately, lifting Snake as though his bones were burning.Red and Flavor guarded the entrance, weapons ready, though nothing dared approach the domain of the divine-guild founder.Inside, Frost placed his palm over Snake’s chest.The air froze.A scream tore through Snake’s throat, not his own, not his child’s, but the curse-thread between them.Frost’s voice echoed like breaking ice: “I sever the bond of pain.Not the bond of blood.By Eyela’s decree.”A violent snap rang through the chamber.Snake jerked, body arching like lightning struck him.Then silence.Snake panting.Frost withdrew his hand, fingers trembling. “Now you can think again.Fight a
The Isle of Darkness: Arrival at the Divine Court
The sea was black that night.Not shadowed.Not dim.Black, as though someone had killed the sky and drowned its corpse beneath the waves.No stars.No moon.Only the whisper of the surf like dying prayers.The Isle of Darkness rose slowly from the void, cliffs ribbed with violet fire, the ancient veins of primordial power that only Evilside’s bloodline could tame. Towers jutted from the stone like the ribs of a fallen celestial titan. And above it all, drifting like a crown of ghosts, the faint song of the Divine Liroids shimmered across the air.Even Dragon, whose tongue rarely knew silence, stood wordless.A sound that old commanded it.Flavor touched Snake’s arm lightly, voice unusually gentle. “You need rest. This isle eats the weary.”He led them through the Gates of Carved Moonlight, pale doors that shimmered with runes older than Tan’s oldest conquest. The corridor beyond was lined with towering statues of the First Divine Liroids, faces impossibly beautiful, carved with preci
THE PRIVATE AUDIENCE: FLAVOR, SNAKE & DRAGON
Night in the Divine Court did not truly fall; it gathered.Shadows thickened like velvet.The pillars hummed with low, ancient resonance.The silver torches burned with cold fire, casting no warmth.Flavor dismissed the court with a lazy wave of his fingers. The concubines drifted away like scented phantoms, Forbidden vanished to torment Frost, and the hall quieted until only three remained:Flavor.Snake.Dragon.Flavor leaned back on his throne of interwoven light and dark.Flavor: “A message reached the Isle. A new student finished the Academy:Greed Liroid. He is to join my Divine Guild.”Dragon smirked immediately. “Greed? Another Liroid with one of our ridiculous names.”He elbowed Snake. “Careful, brother. Soon, someone will name their child Serpent Liroid and claim your title.”Snake gave him a flat, unimpressed stare. “I am the only serpent the Liroids need.”Dragon raised both hands in surrender. “If you say so. I’m merely saying history repeats itself…especially stupid name
GREED’S FIRST DAY: THE DIVINE DISASTER
The Isle of Darkness woke violently.Not with the usual chants of the priestesses, but with a BOOM so powerful it shook the moon-pools and rattled the obsidian towers.Dragon sat up in his chambers. “That better not be Dream.”Another explosion. “…It’s Dream.”Across the courtyard, Divine Guards sprinted in circles, smoke rising from the Hall of Discipline.Snake stepped out of his room, rubbing his temples. “It’s too early for this.”Frost, already in healer robes, waved a glowing staff. “GREED LIROID HAS ARRIVED!”Which explained everything.THE TRAINING ARENA: A COMPLETE WARZONEThe Divine Training Arena looked like a battlefield.Statues melted.A fountain screamed.Two divine apprentices were stuck to the ceiling by golden webbing.A tree was on fire, underwater.Dream stood in the middle, laughing like a madman. “I LIKE THIS BOY!”Greed Liroid, short, sharp-eyed, glowing with uncontrollable power, stood proudly on a shattered platform. “That was a warm-up. Do you want to see my
THE SERPENT WHO WORSHIPS A SERPENT
Serpent Liroid’s training began at dawn.And immediately went downhill.The boy followed Snake everywhere.Everywhere.If Snake walked, Serpent walked behind him.If Snake stopped, Serpent stopped.If Snake breathed, Serpent studied the rhythm like scripture.Dragon nearly died laughing. “He even copies how you fold your arms. Look!”Sure enough, the boy folded his arms in the same angle, same posture.Snake glared. “Stop copying me.”Serpent Liroid froze. “Yes, Master Snake! I will stop copying you!”Snake: “You just copied how I said that.”Serpent:“…oh.”Dream teleported onto a pillar above them. “He’s adorable. Can we keep him?”Snake: “NO.”THE HARSH TRAINING BEGINSSnake snapped his fingers.A training ground of obsidian towers rose from the earth.Snake: “Climb.”Serpent Liroid gulped. “It’s… It’s tall.”Snake: “Then climb faster.”Snake was merciless.He made the boy run, crawl, strike, dodge, hold his breath underwater, control his aura, and balance three blades on his forea
RAGE ARRIVES AND THE WHOLE ISLE TREMBLES
The Isle of Darkness was usually calm in the mornings.Not today.A rumbling boom echoed across the courtyard.Dragon froze mid-sword-swing.Snake turned sharply.Flavor’s concubines ducked behind pillars.Dream grinned like a demon. “Ah. She is here.”Rage stomped through the gates like a crimson thunderstorm.Hair flying.Eyes blazing.Aura crackling like a wrathful goddess.She pointed at Snake. “I want to see how you’re training these children I keep hearing about.”Snake blinked.Dragon groaned.DRAGON: A MAN WHO JUST REALIZED THE WORLD IS ENDINGDragon: “Rage… who’s with the children?”She shrugged. “Sky.”Dragon dropped his sword so fast it clanged across the marble. “SKY? As in… Cirax? As in…PASSION IS THERE!”Rage blinked innocently. “Well, yes. Passion likes him.”Snake choked. “SHE IS TWELVE!”Dragon started pacing like a madman. “Sky doesn’t know! Sky doesn’t THINK! He’s a Cirax! He smiles at people, and they fall in love!”Dream dropped from the ceiling to join in the ch
