Global Security Council
The emergency lift screeched upward, metal groaning as it surged toward the snow-veiled surface. Behind them, fire chased shadows along the shaft, each explosion closer, louder, as if the mountain itself was rejecting the sins buried beneath it.Aurelia pressed her back to the wall of the lift, panting, one hand gripping her side. Blood seeped between her fingers, but her eyes never left the slumped figure in Miley’s lap.“Hold on… just hold on, okay?”Miley whispered to Julius. “We are almost out of here.”He didn’t respond, but his skin still glowed faintly, like embers refusing to die. Sweat trickled down his temples, and every so often his limbs twitched, residual aftershocks of the forced reawakening.“Come on…” she begged again, brushing hair off his forehead. “Don’t go somewhere I can’t follow you, please. I still have a life I want to live with you…”Aurelia tore her eyes away, staring upward. The exit loomed above them, a circular hatch, rimmed with rust and snowmelt. Just
Firebreak
Inside the flagship light of the containment chamber, Julius’s body spasmed, locked between unnatural power and synthetic paralysis. But in his mind, there was another war raging on. A war that was far worse.He saw himself standing in the middle of a burning city, while ash fell like snow around him. As far as the eye could see, skyscrapers collapsed in silence. Smoke curled upward like mourning veils, and civilians screamed in a language he didn’t understand. He looked around in confusion, but he could barely understand anything that was going on. He looked down at his own hands, which were partially mechanized, and covered in silver armour. But what caught him off guard was how monstrous they were… all his limbs were dripping with blood.“This is what you were made for.”The voice echoed across his skull, like a cold reminder. The Winter Lily director, who was long dead… he was standing in front of him, his face hollow and eyes glowing red in the hallucination.Julius roared
Breach
The missile streaked past the Wraith’s left rotor in a breathless flash, narrowly missing them by a miracle and a pilot’s instinct. The shockwave buckled one of the stabilizers, throwing the chopper into a spin. Inside, Miley’s world tilted, her body slamming against the restraint harness, the metal hull vibrating like thunder in her skull.“Brace!” The pilot roared.Moments later, the Wraith clipped a ridge and then descended hard, crunching through pine branches before skidding across the snow-covered slope. It finally slammed to a stop near the edge of a frozen ravine, steam hissing from the ruptured engine.Miley coughed against her elbow, unbuckled her seatbelt with trembling fingers, and reached for her sidearm.“Report!” She barked over the ringing in her ears.“I’m fine,” Aurelia groaned, already pulling herself upright and checking the condition of her gear. A streak of blood lined her temple, but she was standing, alert and focused.The pilot slumped forward, barely cons
Bloody Coordinates
The morning has a grey streak across the sky as Miley stepped into the Duke of Glamorgan’s study, feeling like she was holding herself together with much difficulty. She didn't even flinch to stop or explain why she was there. Instead her spine was made of steel. She was standing confidently, looking like the true heiress of the Duke. Aurelia was walking in step with her, her lips pressed into a thin line. In her life, she had seen way too many wars, but this trail was the most difficult one of her life. Duke Morgan looked up from his desk, brows drawn, with his own worries and exhaustion buried under layers of nobility and responsibility. “You found something.”Aurelia stepped forward before Miley could speak. “He’s alive. We have triangulated the frequency, and the signal is bouncing through shielded terrain. It has military grade shielding, so clearly, they have no shortage of funds.”The Duke frowned. “That would put him in one of the old Black Zones. Off-grid territories.
Smoke and Steel
The first thing Julius registered was pain, not the sharp, immediate kind, but the slow, grinding ache of restraint. His limbs were numb, suspended above cold ground by metallic bindings that hissed faintly with hydraulic tension. The room was dim, pulsing with low blue lights, sterile and humming with hidden machines. He couldn’t move, couldn’t speak. Even his eyes fluttered as if underwater.A voice cut through the haze, clinical, male, cold.“Subject 17’s neural activity has stabilized at 82%. Begin Reawakening Protocol calibration.”Another voice replied with sterile precision. “DNA mesh has been extracted. Cross-referencing sample compatibility with Cryo Batch: Theta-Zero through Theta-Nine.”Julius tried to lift his head, to speak, to rage—but his body disobeyed. He was a mind trapped in meat and metal. A caged ghost.“I told you.”The male voice said, approaching the suspended frame, “Lily’s Fang was always the key. His physiology’s regenerative matrix outperformed all prior
Static and Silence
Julius couldn’t move.He was aware… barely, of a humming sound above him. Fluorescent lights buzzed in an unseen ceiling. Something cold pressed into his spine. His limbs, his chest, even his jaw felt like they had been filled with wet cement.Where am I?His mind floated like a loose wire. He tried to blink, but he felt nothing. He tried to speak, but his tongue was heavy and immovable like stone.A machine clicked, and the whirr of hydraulics followed. He could hear some fading voices before he lost control and fell into a pit of darkness. Julius drifted in and out of consciousness like a man caught between frozen tides. Everything around him right now was like a vacuum: completely soundless, scentless, and even lightless. His body felt foreign, too heavy to belong to him. His thoughts tried to surface, but they got tangled, like static in a storm.Where am I?The question echoed in his mind before he felt the familiar dizziness again. This time, he woke up to harsh fluorescenc
