Slapped
The city was warmer than Aurelia remembered. The streets pulsed with noise, cars gliding past light-struck windows, and the soft thrum of life that never stopped. But inside the penthouse overlooking the East Crown District, time had slowed down. Aurelia stood in the middle of the living room, one hand trailing the edge of a glass shelf as if trying to feel the texture of normalcy.Julius watched her from the doorway, his frame still carved by war but softened now by presence, by stillness. Miley stood at his side, her arm grazing his. Neither spoke, letting Aurelia breathe in silence.It had been two days since they burned the Citadel to the ground. Two days since the world learned the truth about Project Winter Lily. And two days since Aurelia had set foot in a world that hadn’t tried to cage or silence her.She had eaten little. Slept less. But every hour she lingered, she felt more human.“This sofa,” she said suddenly, running her fingers over the cushions, “I remember this fab
Fire in his Blood
The convoy left before dawn had a chance to over the horizon.Armored jeeps, camouflage-plated drones, and three silent aerial skiffs glided over the snowbanks like phantoms. Inside the lead vehicle, Julius sat beside Miley, strapped into the seat with his gaze fixed on the icy horizon. His jaw was set, his pulse steady… Aurelia sat in the vehicle behind, dressed in full field gear. Her face was thinner than it once was, but her eyes carried the same thunder Julius remembered from the video testimonies. She hadn’t spoken much this morning, saving her strength for what was coming.Today, they weren’t hunting shadows.They were bringing down the final citadel of Winter Lily: Facility Helix. The sealed subterranean cloning facility hidden beneath a hydroelectric dam, which was still heavily guarded. This was the root of the operation : the beginning, and the end. And today, they were going to end it when fire.---The assault began with a complete blackout of the sky.Drones deployed
Son of winter
Julius stood beneath a canopy of fractured stars, the cold night air slicing across his cheekbones like glass. The wind whispered through the pine trees, distant but sharp, as if the world itself held its breath. He didn’t flinch from it. Not anymore.Behind him, the safehouse pulsed with quiet energy. Aurelia was running logistics in a dim-lit room, firelight flickering across maps and surveillance feeds, while Miley was securing the last perimeter checks with her rifle slung low across her back. They had carved this base out of nothing, hidden deep in a mountainous ruin of an old listening station, a skeleton of Cold War paranoia reborn into rebellion.But even surrounded by survivors, by purpose and heat and plans, Julius felt the weight of it all settle again. The bounty had gone public. His face was broadcast on every channel, twisted by fear mongering politicians and mercenaries hungry for glory. Some called him a weapon, while others a messiah. All of them are wrong.He didn’
Fire and Ice
The elevator groaned as it carried them upward through layers of steel and stone, away from the Winter Citadel’s core. Julius kept one arm around Aurelia, steadying her frail frame as the world moved beneath their feet. Her breathing was slow, steady—but her eyes remained distant, locked somewhere between recognition and disbelief.She hadn’t said his name. In fact, she hadn't called him anything at all.The woman who once roared at a council to protect her child now stared at him like he was a shadow.Julius studied her features in the dim light of the lift—every line, every scar carved by decades of isolation. Her eyes still held that ferocity, but there was something fractured behind them now, something that hadn’t been there in the archive videos.The elevator clanked to a stop.They moved into a narrow corridor cut through rock, leading to an extraction point near the north ridge. Outside, the storm howled against the stone, but here it was still, cold, silent. They paused beneat
The Revenant Directive
The cold hit harder at altitude. Wind howled down the narrow spine of the Swiss Alps, slicing through thermal layers and making every breath feel like inhaling knives. Julius crouched behind a jagged outcrop of ice, scanning the tree line below through frost-glazed binoculars.“They’re tracking movement patterns, not signals,” Miley whispered beside him, her breath forming clouds that vanished instantly. “No drones. They’re using old-school predator logic.”He lowered the binoculars. “Because they’ve hunted something like me before.”From the valley floor, a ripple of radio static crackled. Julius adjusted his earpiece, narrowing the signal. The voice came through—a clipped male tone, cold and practiced.“Visual lost. Possible deviation west ridge. Reconfirm target: Lily’s Fang is alive. Authorization: Revenant Omega.”Miley’s head snapped toward him. “They just named you.”Julius didn’t move. “Lily’s Fang,” he echoed. “They’ve been waiting.”The Revenants—whispers of them had surface
The Awakening Protocol
Julius was sweating through his shirt by the time he hit the tree line. The morning frost cracked beneath his boots, but he didn’t feel cold—he felt electric, fevered. Every nerve was a live wire.He gripped his knees, breath ragged.Behind him, the safehouse lights flickered in the dawn fog. Miley was still inside, but he’d needed space. Or maybe distance. He didn’t know which.The headaches had started three days ago. Now they came with aftershocks—flashes of memory that weren’t memories. Training modules. Surgical tools. Blood pooled beneath steel.And voices.“Breathe, soldier.”“Subject’s vitals are spiking.”“Activate the cranial suppressor.”He blinked hard, trying to anchor himself to the now. But the tree trunk he leaned against dissolved into silver walls. His own hands looked younger, strapped down.Not real, he told himself. Not now.Then pain cracked through his skull like lightning.Julius dropped to one knee with a growl, palms clawing at the frostbitten earth. His visi
