CHAPTER 95
Far away from the freezing North, the air was thick and heavy inside the forgotten ruins of the western dry lands. The shadows here were ancient and twisting around the broken pillars like snakes, waiting for a master to command them to strike. But Gamora was not a master of these shadows, the sorcerer was a merchant of the void, and right now, the void was the only thing keeping the royal family alive.King Aldric sat on a stone block, his crown of gold replaced by dirt and sweat. He was numb and pain had enveloped him, the reality of his fallen kingdom finally crashed down on his shoulders. He was breathing heavily, his hands shaking badly as he stared at the floor. The decoy had worked, but the terror of the close call was still fresh and suffocating.Queen Seraphine paced the small, ruined courtyard, her heels clicking nervously on the stone. Her elegance was completely gone, replaced by a frantic and pained fear. Fear enveloped her and shook her soul, leaving her heavily laden
CHAPTER 94
The air in the mountain was heavy and thick with a suffocating silence that was far from peaceful. Kael moved with the grace and power of a predator, his black robe sweeping over the floor as he studied the carvings with an intense, burning curiosity. He was numb and pain had enveloped him, but his mind was sharp, processing the magical signatures of the void faster than any scholar could. He could feel the pulse of the mountain, but something was off, the vibrations felt unusual like a drum without a specific rhythm.A soft smile crossed his lips as he reached out to touch a particular marking on the wall. It felt like blood, that foul scent filled the air, but as his fingers made contact, the stone shifted softly. It wasn't a physical movement, but a shift in the layout and framework of reality itself. The shadows here were old and hiding, but they suddenly began to hiss, retreating from his touch as if he carried a plague they couldn't endure."Kael, the energy is shifting," Eli
CHAPTER 93
The guards slept peacefully in the past, forgetting that the shadow and devil they had made now walked among them. While men slept, the enemy attacked and Kael was pumped up and ready to strike. The night was freezing and the air was heavy in the North, carrying a terrifying stillness that promised death. Kael Duskborne rode his dark horse, leading the shadow guards through the thick, unforgiving forest. He was numb and pain had enveloped him, but it was a cold pain that fueled his power and drove his dark ambitions. He remembered the fangs tearing through his muscle and sinew, and how he had died on the altar. Now, he was the warlord, the Prince of Shadows, and he was here to claim everything they had stolen from him.The odd smell hit him first. It was not the smell of the trees or the snow that crunched beneath his horse's hooves. It was an old pain, heavy with angst and disgust, that dated back centuries. He could feel it with his magic and beneath it was something else. It fe
CHAPTER 92
The heavy air in the grand hall was thick with the power of a coming storm. Kael stood by the massive balcony, his black robe flowing in the cold wind that swept through the capital. Below him, the city of Thornhaven was a sea of flickering lanterns and long shadows, but his mind was far away, buried in the dark corners of the continent. He was quiet, his brain processing the sudden wall he had hit faster than any scholar could. He had the crown, he had the throne, but the two people who had turned his life into a nightmare were still breathing, hidden behind a veil of magic that he couldn't pierce.The odd smell hit him again.It wasn't blood or the smell of ancient magic this time. It was something deeper, a void-like essence that felt like cold ice against his soul. He knew of course that shadow magic always carried a strange aura even when it was old and unknown, but this was different. It was a masking spell that didn't just hide, it erased. It was a work of art made of darkne
CHAPTER 91
The grand hall was quiet once again, but the silence did not bring peace to Kael. He sat on the throne, his fingers drumming rhythmically against the cold metal. The violet flames that usually danced around his shoulders were low, flickering like a dying candle in a heavy wind. He was quiet but his brain was processing the sudden wall he had hit faster than any scholar could. He had sent his magic out again, a wide network of shadow energy meant to drag the King and Queen out of their hole, but he had come back with nothing but empty air.He was utterly confused. The shadow magic he wielded was a force of nature, a gift from the void itself, and yet something was pushing it back. It wasn't just a masking spell, it felt more like a door had been slammed in his face by someone who knew exactly how to lock it.Elira walked over to the throne, her green eyes scanning his face carefully. She noticed the way his jaw was clenched and how his eyes lacked their usual deadly spark. She stoppe
CHAPTER 90
The room was still cold and heavy with the smell of magic. Gamora stood at the centre of the circle that was scribbled into the stone floor. The sorcerer did not move a single muscle, but the green orbs shone softly from Gamora's hands. The odd smell hit the King again, it was pain Kael carried from thousands of shadows that dated back centuries. He could feel it with his magic and beneath it was something else. It felt like blood, that foul scent filled the air of their hiding place. He knew of course that shadow magic always carried a strange aura even when it was old and unknown. And somehow, it felt like its presence was here, apart from the ones he knew.Queen Seraphine walked over to the King, her heels clicking nervously on the stone floor and disrupting the peace of the room. She looked at him, her eyes devoid of any warmth. She was tired, her elegance had faded away and replaced by the look of a mother who was watching her kingdom dying slowly. But she was proud now. She
