Three days later, they reached Frostwatch.

The fortress sat atop a frozen ridge, its walls black with age, its towers scraping low clouds.

Nura had expected ruins broken gates, collapsed battlements, the skeletons of something once great.

But Frostwatch was intact. Waiting. As if it had known they were coming.

SYSTEM: FROSTWATCH FORTRESS — ANCIENT DEFENSIVE STRUCTURE

The gates groaned open as the army approached. Inside, the courtyard was large enough to hold twenty thousand soldiers.

  • Western Wastes

    The Western Wastes lived up to their name.Eight hundred miles of ash and bone. The ground was black and cracked, as if fire had scorched it centuries ago and nothing had grown since. The sky was gray, choked with smoke from distant volcanoes. And the air smelled of sulfur and something else something older. Something hungry.SYSTEM: WESTERN WASTES — ENTERED — TERRAIN: VOLCANIC ASH — TEMPERATURE: EXTREME HEAT — VOID VIPER TERRITORY: ACTIVE — THREAT LEVEL: HIGHLeo pulled his collar up against the ash. His new armor was heavy, but it kept the heat out. Frostbane hummed at his hip, the cold of the blade fighting the heat of the wastes.Behind him, the others struggled.Nura had wrapped cloth around her face to keep from breathing ash. Her mortal body was not made for this. Every step was a battle. Every breath was a prayer.SYSTEM: NURA — MORTAL STATUS — ENVIRONMENTAL STRESS: EXTREME — TIME TO EXHAUSTION: APPROXIMATELY 2 HOURSLira walked beside her, her gray skin almost invisible ag

    The darkness inside the third vault was different from the second.Where Frostwatch's vault had been cold and silent, this one was warm and humming as if the mountain itself was alive. As if it had been waiting for Leo to arrive.SYSTEM: VAULT 3 OF 12 — ENTERED — CONTENTS: BLOODLINE TECHNIQUE COMPLETE, CULTIVATION RESOURCE, ANCESTRAL ARMOR — GUARDIAN STATUS: FRIENDLYLeo walked forward slowly, Frostbane in his hand, his bloodline singing in his chest. The walls were carved with scenes he didn't recognize—battles, ceremonies, a woman with golden eyes standing before an army of shadows.His ancestor. The first Kaelen."You feel it too," Nura said behind him.Leo nodded. "She's here. Not alive, but... present. Watching."SYSTEM: FIRST KAELEN — SPIRITUAL RESIDUE DETECTED — COMMUNICATION POSSIBLE — PROBABILITY: 34%"Thirty-four percent chance I can talk to her," Leo said.Lira leaned against the wall, her gray skin pale, her breath shallow.

The sword blazed as it flew recognizing Kaelen blood, responding to Kaelen will.Leo caught it.SYSTEM: LEO KAELEN — FROSTBANE REGAINED — KAELEN'S RESOLVE REMAINING: 7 MINUTES 30 SECONDS — HEALTH: 43%He stood up.His ribs screamed. His blood burned. But he was standing."Nice try," he said. "But I'm not done yet."The white-haired woman's smile twitched. "You're broken. Bleeding. Dying.""I'm a Kaelen." Leo raised Frostbane. "We don't die easy."He attacked again.SYSTEM: COMBAT — LEO KAELEN VS BLOOD PHOENIX HUNTER LEADER — SECOND ENGAGEMENT — LEO HEALTH: 43% — ENEMY HEALTH: 98% — KAELEN'S RESOLVE REMAINING: 7 MINUTESThis time, he didn't try to overpower her.

  • Fifty Cultivators

    The Blood Phoenix army charged.Leo had two percent chance of survival. One hundred and fifty cultivators against seven. Levels ranging from sixty to one hundred twenty. And at their head, the white-haired woman with the fire sword and the smile that promised pain.SYSTEM: COMBAT INITIATED — BLOOD PHOENIX FORCES: 147 — ALLIED FORCES: 7 — ENGAGINGLeo didn't think.He moved.Frostbane blazed in his hand, gold light cutting through the red and gold armor of the first three cultivators. They fell not dead, but wounded. Disabled. He wasn't trying to kill. Not yet. Killing drew attention. Attention drew the white-haired woman.SYSTEM: LEO KAELEN — BLOODLINE ACTIVE — KAELEN'S RESOLVE: NOT YET ACTIVATED — CURRENT CASUALTIES: 3 BLOOD PHOENIX CULTIVATORS DISABLEDLira fought beside him like a demon.Her gray blades flashed in the snow, finding throats and joints and eyes. The corruption in her veins pulsed with every kill dormant but hungry, waiting for her to slip. She didn't slip. She co

  • Tunnel Collapse

    The ancient seer nodded. "The mountains are dangerous. Avalanches. Void remnants. But the Blood Phoenix patrols are lighter there. They don't expect anyone to be foolish enough to try.""Then we're foolish."They walked through the night.The mountain passes were worse than Leo expected. Narrow ledges above thousand-foot drops. Ice that cracked beneath their boots. Wind that screamed like dying things. Twice, Lira slipped and almost fell. Twice, Dawn Guard knights caught her.SYSTEM: TRAVEL PROGRESS — DISTANCE TRAVELED: 28 MILES — TIME ELAPSED: 8 HOURS — TERRAIN DIFFICULTY: EXTREME — TEAM FATIGUE: MODERATENura was struggling.Leo could see it in the way she leaned on her knife like a walking stick. In the way her breath came in short, ragged gasps. In the way her face had gone gray beneath the cold."We need to rest," he said."I'm fine.""You're lying."Nura stopped. Her chest heaved. Her eyesthose eyes that had commanded armies, that had faced down generals, that had stared in

    It was beautiful silver blade, gold hilt, with symbols etched into the steel that matched the ones on his skin. The moment his fingers touched it, the sword blazed with light.SYSTEM: FROSTBANE — BONDED TO LEO KAELEN — WEAPON LEVEL: 100 — CURRENT USER LEVEL: MORTAL — EFFECTIVENESS: REDUCED 90% UNTIL USER CULTIVATION INCREASES"I can barely use it," Leo said."Then you'll grow into it." Nura stood at the entrance, her knife still in her hand. "That's what cultivation is. Growing."Leo looked at the Heartstone. A small, pulsing crystal that held more power than he had ever seen.SYSTEM: HEARTSTONE — RESTORES CULTIVATION BASE — CURRENT USER: LEO KAELEN MORTAL — USAGE: RESTORES TO BRONZE STAGE 3 — WARNING: CAN ONLY BE USED ONCEBronze Stage 3. Everything he had sacrificed to save Nura. Returned in a single crystal."Take it," Nura said. "You need it more than I do.""This could restore your cultivation too. If you used it—""I'm mortal now.
