The Night I Returned
Chapter 1 The Night I ReturnedI never thought I would set foot in Ravenport again.Not after everything that happened.Not after the fire, the screams, and the silence that followed.But here I was, standing at the edge of the city, looking at the place that once held my whole life.My name is Leon Hawke, though most people out in the wider world call me something else now.The Crimson General.A title I never asked for. A title I earned in blood.The cold wind brushed against my face as I adjusted the hood of my cloak. Red cloth peeked out from the edges, the only reminder of what I had become, and what I had survived. My boots crushed the gravel under me as I took another step toward the city lights.I could feel my heart beating faster, not from fear, but from something I didn’t want to name. Something close to anger. Something close to pain.Ravenport looked almost peaceful from a distance—tall buildings, warm lights, cars moving like slow insects. But I knew this city better th

The Knock In The Dark
Chapter 2 The Knock in the DarkSeraphine stood beside me, her fingers gripping my sleeve tightly. I could feel her hand shaking, even though she tried to hold herself steady.“We shouldn’t be here,” she whispered.“I know,” I answered quietly.The deep voice came again, muffled by the door but still sharp enough to slice through the silence.“Crimson General. Open the door. We only want to talk.”Talk.That word meant nothing good in Ravenport.I stepped forward slowly and pressed a finger to my lips, telling Seraphine not to speak. She nodded, though her breathing was uneven.The man outside waited. Not moving. Not leaving.His patience worried me more than anger ever could.Then he knocked again—three times, slower than before.“Leon Hawke,” the voice said, “we know you’ve returned. The city shifts when you move. So please… open the door.”The way he said my full name sent a cold wave down my spine.He wasn’t guessing.He knew.Seraphine leaned closer to me and whispered, “They t

The Crimson Call
Chapter 3 The Crimson CallThe explosion rocked the building like a hammer against iron. Dust fell from the ceiling, and small cracks appeared along the walls. I grabbed Seraphine, pulling her close, shielding her with my body.“We need to move!” I shouted over the ringing in my ears. The metal rod I had leaned on earlier now felt useless. Not against them. Not tonight.Seraphine’s eyes were wide, fear shining in them like lamps in the dark. “Leon… they’re too strong. We can’t—”“Yes, we can,” I said firmly. “We have to. Follow me.”I pulled my hood down tight and scanned the hallway. The sound of running footsteps echoed. Whoever they were, they weren’t waiting to knock. They were coming to take everything.I didn’t need to guess who. Ravenport’s elite had finally sent someone to deal with me. The group that had haunted my past two years was real—and now, I was standing in their path again.I touched my pocket and pulled out my phone. The red cover felt heavy in my hand. I tapped a

The Vale
Chapter 4 The ValeThe streets of Ravenport had quieted after the first wave of attackers. But I knew better. Silence didn’t mean safety. Not here. Not tonight.I led Seraphine down a narrow street, our footsteps light but deliberate. Her hand was still in mine, trembling a little, but she didn’t let go.“Leon… do you think they’ll come again?” she asked, voice barely above a whisper.“They will,” I said. “And not just tonight. The Vale family knows we’re here. And they won’t wait long to act.”Her eyes widened. “They know you’re the Crimson General…”“Yes,” I replied. “And that’s exactly why we need a plan.”We ducked into a small café that had long been closed. Its glass windows were cracked, the door hanging loosely on its hinges. Perfect hiding spot, for now. I set Seraphine behind the counter and took a quick look outside. Shadows moved across the street, but I couldn’t see anything clearly.“Leon…” Seraphine’s voice shook slightly. “I don’t know how you do it. I’ve never seen a

Let's Begin
Chapter 5Let's BeginSeraphine and I returned to the temporary apartment. My body ached from the fights, but my mind refused rest. Every movement, every sound tonight had brought one truth closer to me—I was hunting my past as much as I was surviving the present.She sat on the edge of the small bed, her fingers intertwined, her eyes distant. I knew what she was thinking. She had held back more than she should. Tonight, I was going to pull the truth out of her, one word at a time.“Seraphine,” I said, my voice low, careful. “I need you to tell me everything. Now. About my parents… about who killed them.”She flinched slightly. “Leon… it’s not easy. You might not like what you hear.”“Try me,” I said. “I’ve survived worse than truth.”She took a deep breath and looked me directly in the eyes. “Two years ago… when your parents were killed… it wasn’t random.”I clenched my fists, my knuckles white. “Go on.”“They were betrayed,” she whispered. “By people they trusted. People who smiled

Crimson Vengeance
Chapter 6 Crimson VengeanceThe first light of dawn was barely touching the rooftops of Ravenport, but the city already felt alive with danger. The streets were silent for now, but I knew that would change. The Vale family and Vincent Korr were planning something. They had power, wealth, and deception on their side—but I had something they couldn’t measure.Crimson.I felt it surging in my veins, a fire that matched the rage in my heart. Every betrayal, every death, every secret Seraphine had revealed fueled me. Today, the Crimson General would make his mark.Seraphine stood beside me, watching the streets below from the broken window of our safehouse. Her eyes were sharp now, no longer just fearful. The events of last night had changed her. She had seen what I could do, and I could see the resolve in her.“Leon…” she whispered. “Are you sure about this? There’s no turning back now.”I turned to her, letting my eyes glow faint red in the dim morning light. “I’m sure. They killed my p

Strategy and Plans
Chapter 7 Strategy and Plans The Vale family, Vincent Korr, and the Heir wouldn’t wait. They were already planning their next move. I could feel it.I led us to a small abandoned warehouse on the edge of the district. Safe for now, but not for long. The Crimson energy hummed through me, a steady pulse reminding me that I wasn’t just any man. I was the Crimson General, and Ravenport would remember that today.We entered the warehouse, and I set down the rod. “We need a plan,” I said. “We can’t just charge in blindly. The Heir is powerful, and Korr is clever. Both will have traps, guards, and surprises.”Seraphine nodded, sitting on a crate. “So… what do we do?”I crouched next to her, letting the Crimson power settle in, sharpening my mind. “We gather information first. I need every detail about the Vale mansion—guards, entry points, hidden rooms. Anything Korr and the Heir use to manipulate the city.”She bit her lip. “I can do that. I’ve watched them for months. I know some route
