Chapter 97
Light rippled across the broken city. It started as a pulse from the central tower, the same tower where Everett and Kael had vanished. The light spread outward in perfect waves, touching rooftops, bridges, and every silent street. Machines paused mid-motion. The sky itself seemed to hum, then came the voice.[System reboot successful.][Core synchronization complete.]People across the city stopped what they were doing. The citizens, dressed in pale gray uniforms and wearing thin silver bands across their temples, all turned their heads toward the sound. Their eyes flickered faintly blue, waiting for the next command, but none came. For the first time in twenty years, the system spoke… and then stayed silent.In the tower’s core chamber, the merged figure of Everett and Kael stood still among the fading light. Two minds. One body. One heartbeat.Everett opened his eyes first. They glowed faint gold, reflecting the light from the shattered sphere. “We did it,” he whispered.Kael’s v

The night deepened over the shining city. Clouds drifted slowly and silver above the towers, and the faint hum of machines filled the air like endless whispering.Everett moved through the rooftops, quiet and careful. His cloak was torn, his steps light. The system’s faint interface hovered beside him, showing a map of light lines, every street, every patrol path, every drone.He had one goal: reach the tower at the center. The City Heart. That was where the network pulsed strongest. That was where Kael’s faint voice had come from.He landed silently on the next rooftop, crouching beside an air vent. Through it, he could see a long corridor below, white walls, guards with glowing visors, lines of data sliding down the surface like water.He touched his wrist. “System, scan route.”[Scan complete.]Optimal path located: Core elevator, Access Gate C-9.Warning: heavy monitoring detected.“Noted,” Everett whispered.He leapt from the edge, landing in the shadow of the next structure. E

Morning light poured over the valley like warm water. It caught the dew on every blade of grass, turning the hills silver and gold. The sky had the soft color of honey. Birds called in long, lazy notes, and the river below hummed as it bent around stone and tree.A figure stood at the edge of the high meadow, watching the sun rise. His hair, once pale, now carried faint silver threads that glimmered in the light. His cloak moved in the breeze, and the shards that circled him glowed gently like quiet stars.Kael had grown tall, no longer the boy who once trembled in the ruins of an old world. He had become the keeper of this one.He raised his hand slightly, palm open. From his skin a thin pulse of light drifted outward, invisible to most eyes. It passed through the grass, through the air, down into the soil. The world breathed in reply. The wind picked up. Flowers opened. Kael smiled faintly. “Good morning.”His voice was soft, almost shy. From behind him, soft footsteps approached

Chapter 93
The storm came slowly. It rolled across the new land in long, heavy waves, thick gray clouds bending the sky. Lightning flashed, low and gold, touching the fields with light before vanishing again. Kael stood in the middle of it, his shards spinning quietly around him. The wind pushed at his hair, his clothes, but he didn’t move. His glowing eyes were fixed on the horizon. Everything had changed since the flame broke.The rivers flowed again. The trees breathed again. Grass moved beneath the touch of wind. The world was alive, really alive, but raw, unstable, and uncertain.He felt it every time he took a step. The ground trembled like a heartbeat that hadn’t learned its rhythm yet.Kael looked down at his hands. The faint cracks from before had grown brighter, thin lines of light pulsing through his skin. He could feel the balance inside him now, the pulse of fire, the memory of shards, the rhythm of life itself.He wasn’t sure if it was a gift or a curse. “Everett…” he whispered
Chapter 92
Kael woke to still air and a gray light that had no sun. He lay on the cold ground, feeling the earth’s surface like smooth glass beneath his fingers. No pulse. No warmth.His shards floated faintly around him, dim and trembling. He blinked hard, trying to remember, flame, screaming, darkness swallowing Everett, then silence.Everett was gone. Kael sat up fast, heart pounding in his chest. “Everett?” His voice echoed, soft but sharp, through the empty trees. Nothing answered.He pushed to his feet, swaying. His body felt too light, like something inside him had been scooped out and left hollow. He looked down at his hands, glow faint, cracks running through his wrists. His power was fading. “Everett!” he shouted again, louder this time, desperate. His voice bounced back from the still forest.He waited, then, faintly, from far away, he heard a sound. A soft crackle, fire. Kael’s head snapped toward it. “Everett?”He ran. The trees were endless. Their silver leaves brushed against one
