Ch-121
Nathan sat motionless on the edge of the cot, fingers laced tightly as Harper paced the safehouse room. The aftershock of the dream battle with Volkov still rang through his skull like distant thunder.Each time he reached for his memories… those precise locations, hidden codenames, fragments of Syndicate strategy, they slipped through his fingers like smoke.But there were deeper truths they hadn’t yet lost.Miko stood near the far wall, her brow furrowed, breath shallow. She hadn’t spoken since Nathan awoke screaming. Her eyes were distant, clouded, locked in some invisible current of clairvoyant thought.Nathan finally rose and crossed to her side. “Miko?” he asked gently.She didn’t blink. “There’s a place. A cold place. Far below the surface. Machines… humming. Children’s voices, but muted, like echoes trapped in ice.”Nathan exchanged a glance with Harper, who had stopped mid-step.Miko’s voice dropped. “There’s a boy. Alone. Sleeping. Not… normal. He’s not just alive. He’s a fa

Nathan’s boots echoed through the rain-slick alleys of Neo-Tokyo as he left the crumbling media tower behind, his breath steaming in the cold. Sirens wailed in the distance, but inside his mind, something deeper howled. The threads of memories still buzzed in his skull: names, crimes, locations… too many to hold at once. He pressed a hand to his temple, trying to focus, but a sudden tremor ran through his spine. Then darkness seized him. He fell, not in body, but in mind! Dragged down through a crack in reality itself, the Dominion ring on his hand blazing white before vanishing into a void. When he opened his eyes again, he stood in a battlefield of impossible geometry—floating ruins, shifting terrain, lightning flashing in a sky of fractured glass. His breath fogged in a cold that wasn’t real. He knew this place. The dreamscape. Volkov was waiting. The former Syndicate tactician stood at the far edge of a shattered bridge suspended in nothingness. His coat flapped in windles
Ch-119
Nathan left the safehouse just before dawn, slipping through back alleys and service tunnels until he emerged across from the towering glass headquarters of Orion Media Group. Floodlights cut through the lingering night mist, glinting off the giant screens broadcasting the network’s hourly headlines: Nathan Hale branded a traitor, a murderer, a terrorist bent on tearing civilization apart.He felt Harper’s voice crackle in his earpiece. “You sure about this?”Nathan’s eyes narrowed. “They’ve poisoned every mind in the world against us. That ends today.”He crossed the street, pulling his hood lower over his face. Security clustered at the main entrance, but Nathan didn’t slow. He reached out with his mind instead, brushing past the tangled surface thoughts of the guards—fatigue, annoyance, the drumming echo of orders to watch for him. With a nudge of mental pressure, he turned their focus elsewhere, slipping through the doors unseen.Inside, the lobby gleamed with polished marble and

Nathan sat in the safehouse’s darkened comms room, eyes locked on the cluster of monitors in front of him. The glow painted harsh lines across his face, sweat glistening on his temple despite the chill of the concrete walls.He could already hear the Syndicate announcer’s voice on the feed, echoing through global airwaves with perfect, poisonous calm: “This is a reminder. There is no sanctuary. No hero. Only Syndicate law.”On the screen, the whistleblower knelt on a raised dais beneath stark floodlights. Their face was bruised, blood caked along one cheek. Nathan recognized them,Daniel Kwan, the journalist who had leaked Syndicate documents showing child trafficking rings in Jakarta.They’d gone underground after the leak. Nathan had tried to get to him first, but Syndicate hunters had been faster.A hush fell over the Syndicate feed as a masked figure stepped forward behind Daniel, holding a long, curved blade. Nathan felt bile rise in his throat.Not this time, he thought.Harper’s
Ch-117
Nathan guided Miko into the temple’s inner sanctum, his hand steady on her shoulder though he felt her trembling beneath his palm. The room was dim, lit only by a ring of lanterns hanging from the high beams, their soft orange glow reflecting off polished wooden floors. Incense coiled lazily through the air, mixing with the faint rustle of bamboo outside.In the center of the chamber, resting atop a low altar, lay the Ring of Vision. It gleamed silver under the lantern light, its etched symbols shifting like water when Miko’s gaze met them.She swallowed, voice barely a whisper. “This is it… the path my grandfather kept hidden.”Nathan studied the ring warily. He could feel its power, completely different from the Dominion ring’s sharp hunger. This one felt older, coiled, as if waiting for someone strong enough to endure what it showed.“You don’t have to do this now,” he murmured, searching her face.“I do,” she breathed. “If the ring shows what comes… I need to see it.”She reached
Ch-116
Nathan helped Miko into the temple’s inner sanctum, the faint light of paper lanterns throwing long shadows across the polished wooden floor. The old monk who had led them here slipped away without a word, leaving only the hush of prayer bells echoing in the courtyard beyond.In the center of the room rested the Ring of Vision, nestled in a small wooden box on a cushion of crimson silk. Miko’s breath shuddered in her throat as she stepped closer.“You don’t have to rush this,” Nathan said quietly, laying a hand on her shoulder.She shook her head, eyes glistening. “If this ring shows the path ahead… then I need to know. I can’t run from what’s coming.”Her fingers hovered over the silver band, etched with delicate symbols that seemed to swirl beneath her gaze. She swallowed hard, then touched it.The world shattered.A jagged scream tore from Miko’s lips as blinding light flared behind her eyes. The temple vanished, replaced by a kaleidoscope of visions: fire swallowing skyscrapers, S
