CHAPTER 104
Chapter 104The war room was hidden deep beneath the Duskborne estate. The air was heavy in the cave, and silence reigned. Days had passed after the raid on the royal archive and the disastrous journey into the void. News had spread that the Lord Regent had vanished but Kael was here hiding in the dark. He stood by the massive wooden table, staring calmly at the large map of the kingdom spread out across it. He was clad in his eerie black robe and his hands were folded in meditation. He was numb and pain had enveloped him completely. The failure in the void was a heavy red stamp on his pride and it was driving him crazy. His brain processed faster than any scholar could but he still had no headway.Elira stood by the corner and tapped her feet endlessly. Her green eyes were scanning the map but she saw nothing useful. She was pumped up and ready to strike but they had no specific target. The western marshes were vast and covered in thick fog. Gamora was using the void magic to hide th
CHAPTER 103
The grand hall was a mess of broken glass and ruined marble. The odd smell hit him first as Kael lay on the cold floor. It was the smell of ash and what was left of his pride. He was numb and pain has enveloped him completely. His violent violet eyes stared blankly at the ceiling. The terrifying stillness that promised death hung heavily in the room. He remembered the void and the evil shadows that tore his men apart. The memory was a heavy red stamp on his mind. He had led them to their executions without trials. The rage that was eating him up had cooled into a bitter regret. He had the grit to do whatever it takes but grit was not enough against the abyss.Elira sat beside him on the ruined floor. She was breathing heavily and her hands were shaking badly. She looked at the empty space where the vortex had been. The shadows here were ancient and hiding but they offered no comfort now. She remembered the fangs tearing through muscle and skin as the guards were devoured. Fear burned
CHAPTER 102
Far away from the capital, in the desolate silence of the western marshes, the air was thick with the smell of stagnant water and decay. The fog hung low to the ground, swirling around the ankles of the three figures trudging through the mud.King Aldric walked with his head down, his boots sinking deep into the muck with every step. He was exhausted. He was numb and pain had enveloped him, sinking deep into his bones. He carried the sack with the crown, but it felt heavier now, like a burden of lead rather than gold.Queen Seraphine stumbled beside him, holding onto his arm for support. Her dress was ruined, torn by thorns and stained with mud. She looked nothing like a queen. She looked like a beggar, heavily laden with guilt and fear."How much further?" Seraphine whispered, her voice faint and breaking. "My feet... I cannot feel them anymore."Gamora walked ahead of them, the black robes gliding over the mud as if the sorcerer weighed nothing at all. The green orbs in Gamora’s han
CHAPTER 101
The monsters of the void were relentless, their shadowy forms swirling around the small protective circle of light like a pack of wolves waiting for a fire to die out. Kael moved close to Cassidy, his hand gripping her shoulder with a bruising force. He could feel the tremors racking her body, the sheer exhaustion that threatened to collapse her knees with every step she took."Do not falter," Kael whispered, his voice harsh and heavy with the fear he refused to show. "If that light flickers, we are dead. Do you understand me, Healer? Dead."Cassidy sobbed, a wretched sound that was swallowed instantly by the oppressive silence of the void. "I'm trying," she gasped, her face pale and slick with sweat. "It drains me... it feels like it's taking my life.""Then give it your life," Elira snapped from the other side, her dagger held out uselessly against the encroaching darkness. "Better to give it to the light than to have it ripped out by those things."Elira was terrified. She had alwa
CHAPTER 100
The massive vortex of swirling darkness stood in the centre of the ruined grand hall like a hungry mouth waiting to be fed. The air in the room was heavy and thick with the suffocating scent of ancient magic and the terrifying stillness that promised death to anyone who dared to step closer. Kael stood before the tear in reality, his black robes whipping violently around him as the void pulled at his very soul. He was numb and pain had enveloped him but it was a cold pain that fueled his power and drove his dark ambitions. His violent violet eyes were burning with a strange energy as he stared into the darkness, his brain processing faster than any scholar could.He remembered the fangs tearing through his muscle and skin on that cursed altar. He remembered the betrayal of the people who had celebrated with gold and spat on his grave. Those memories were the heavy stamp on his heart, a constant reminder of why he had the grit to do whatever it takes to bring an absolute apocalypse
CHAPTER 99
Kael remained in a deep, unnatural trance, his body standing before the throne like a statue carved from mountain stone. The shadows here were ancient, twisting around his black robes like snakes, waiting for a master to command them to strike. Inside his mind, the world of the living had vanished. He was numb and pain had enveloped him, but it was a cold pain that fueled his power and drove his dark ambitions. He was no longer breathing the heavy air, he was breathing the void itself, just as he was found.He remembered the fangs tearing through his muscle and skin and how he had died on the altar. That memory was the heavy red stamp on his soul, the anchor that kept him from drifting away into the absolute silence of the dark magic. His brain processing faster than any scholar could, he began to peel back the layers of the masking spell Gamora had woven across the kingdom. He wasn't looking for a physical trail of breadcrumbs, he was looking for the resonance of the thirty thousa
