CHAPTER 12: FLORENCE UNDER FIRE
The Council chamber became a storm of screaming and broken stone. Yeshua and Jessica crashed down from the ventilation shaft, landing hard on the polished floor. Yeshua’s eyes went straight to Florence. She stood frozen, staring at Vesta, or rather, at the Watcher that now wore Vesta's body like a glove.The Watcher-Vesta moved with chilling speed. Her silver eyes glowed in the dim red emergency light. She walked past the scattered councilors, past the terrified UN guards who didn't know whether to shoot their own leader. Her path was clear. Her target was Florence."You exposed a small rot," Watcher-Vesta's voice hissed, a layered sound that made the air itself vibrate. "But the true corruption, the true weakness, lies in hearts like yours. Hearts that pretend to be light, but are filled with pride and ambition."Florence stumbled back, her mind reeling. The words hit her, twisting old wounds. Pride. Ambition. These were the very things that had driven her, had made her powerful,
CHAPTER 11: THE COUNCIL FRACTURES
The air inside the Dominion Tower’s highest chamber felt thick, heavy with unspoken words and sharp with suspicion. This was where the Council met, a circle of six powerful figures meant to guide the balance between Heaven’s light and the world’s shadows. Today, however, no light seemed to pierce the room's polished obsidian walls. Only shadows stretched long and uneasy.Half the Council wanted Yeshua Yael locked away. The other half saw him as a sign, a prophet, maybe even a savior. This deep split was the Watcher’s victory, turning the very guardians of faith against each other.Yeshua and Jessica moved through the Tower’s hidden service tunnels like ghosts. The air was cold and smelled of damp concrete and old electricity. Pipes snaked overhead, dripping. Yeshua’s boots made soft, rhythmic sounds on the grimy floor. He felt the weight of his calling, the faint, warm glow on his chest where the five Seals pulsed beneath his shirt. Each beat was a reminder of the vast, ancient p
CHAPTER 10: SEALED BUT NOT SILENT
The safe house was a blur of frantic preparation. Jessica, a whirlwind of efficiency, barked orders into her comm-bead, mobilizing what remained of her loyal Dominion Hunter cadres. Florence, her lawyer's mind already dissecting the political landscape, typed furiously on her laptop, analyzing Council protocols and potential allegiances. Yeshua, however, sat in a quiet corner, trying to make sense of the new world stirring within him.The fifth glyph, the one embodying the Breath of the Deep, burned steadily on his chest. It was a swirling pattern of water and light, interwoven with the four preceding marks, forming a complex constellation of divine covenants. It pulsed with a constant, rhythmic thrum, a silent song from the abyss he had anchored. But with this deeper connection to the sea came something else: dreams.He’d barely slept since emerging from the ocean, his nights plagued by vivid, disorienting visions. They weren't just dreams; they were communications, riddles whisp
CHAPTER 9: AFTER THE DEEP BREATH
The world didn't just reel from the glowing sea phenomenon; it convulsed. The calming of the oceans, the retraction of the ominous violet light, the whispers carried on the tide—all of it had left an indelible mark on the collective consciousness. Dominion City, usually a bastion of cynical detachment, found itself grappling with the undeniable reality of the impossible.Scientists, their faces pale and drawn, appeared on every news channel, clutching their data and offering frantic, increasingly outlandish theories. "Deep-sea bioluminescence!" one professor stammered, his eyes wide with barely suppressed terror, even as satellite images clearly showed entire swaths of the ocean glowing with an intelligent, pulsing light. "Unprecedented seismic activity affecting electromagnetic fields!" another offered, as if a tremor could make the ocean sing. The global scientific community was in disarray, its carefully constructed rationalizations crumbling before a miracle too vast to ignore
CHAPTER 8, THE FIFTH SIGN
The sea had never been quiet, but that morning it moved like something thinking. Waves rose and fell with the rhythm of a sleeping heart, each pulse glowing faintly beneath the surface. From the cliff above, Yeshua watched the light spread until the entire bay shimmered like molten glass.Florence stood a few paces behind him, coat snapping in the wind. “They say the water’s been glowing since dawn,” she said. “Fishermen are afraid to go out. The Council calls it chemical runoff.”“And you?”“I call it the next Sign.”He turned. The gold in his eyes had dimmed to amber, but it still caught the sun. “It feels different,” he said. “The first four were warnings. This one feels like a choice.”A gull screamed overhead and the air shifted, warm one second, icy the next. Jessica approached from the ridge, spear slung across her back, her coat torn at one shoulder. “Satellite feeds just died,” she said. “All of them. Something under the water is blocking transmission.”“Something?” Florence
CHAPTER 7, THE GATHERING STORM 2
The light pulsed once, then fractured the floor. A thunderous crack split the nave; marble buckled and gave way to a shaft of blinding radiance that poured upward from the depths below.The guards staggered back. One fell to his knees, sobbing. Leah’s staff clattered to the floor, its carvings blazing with symbols that hadn’t glowed since the first Dominion age.“Beneath the altar,” she breathed. “It was never just stone.”The radiance thinned, revealing a spiral staircase descending into the earth, each step carved with runes older than any tongue still spoken. A whisper slid through the air, too soft for the soldiers but clear to Yeshua alone. “Come down, Heir. The Covenant waits.”He moved toward the stairs. Jessica grabbed his sleeve. “You don’t know what’s down there.”“I think I do,” he said. “And it’s calling me.”Florence stepped beside him. “Then you’re not going alone.”Leah nodded once, eyes shining with something between pride and dread. “Go, both of you. The rest of us w
