Chapter 58
"I didn’t tell him… but he didn’t need me to talk..." Elizabeth’s voice came in a trembling whisper. Her hand trembling as she held the hot coffee, the heat doing nothing to calm the cold in her bones. Fear was etched into every corner of her face."He forced his way into my mind... for it's location." She clutched the blanket wrapped around her like armor. "The vault is protected by barriers, no supernatural should be able to pass… So he hypnotized me—used my body to bypass the barrier and bring the box to him."Her eyes met Palmer’s and then swept across the room. “When he entered my head… I felt like I was inside his, too. But Damien...he wasn’t there. There was Just… darkness.”"No..." Sarah shook her head violently. "Damien has to be in there. Somewhere. There must be a way to bring him back." She turned to Palmer, eyes wet and desperate. "You’ll save him, right? Please tell me you will."Palmer’s gaze met hers, and for a moment, his silence was heavier than any answer. He clench
Chapter 57
Father Orion stood in the cathedral, facing the immaculate statue of the Hero. The sunlight, fractured by the stained-glass windows, cast vibrant, broken patterns across the cold concrete floor. He seemed lost in deep thought, an unsettling premonition hanging heavy in the air. The cathedral's bell began to toll, its deep, mournful clang vibrating through the very stone, a somber prelude to the disquiet Father Orion felt. It was as if the ancient building itself wept.Vasquez and Garghat were already seated at the table. Suddenly, the cathedral's massive door swung open with a loud creak, and measured footsteps approached. "Why have you summoned us on such short notice, your Grace?" Gorion's voice echoed through the cavernous space."I'm sorry for calling out to you all on such short notice. As you might already know, it is a dread emergency," Father Orion replied, his voice grave."Are you retiring your position as Grand Elder already? It's not that time of the year yet, is it?" Va
Chapter 56
In the heart of a thick forest, isolated from the rest of the world, stood a castle that looked like a menacing fortress. Its very essence exuded dread, the forest around it standing eerily quiet. On the front gate, boldly etched, was the name 'D'Angelo'. A sonic boom shattered the quiet. Dust erupted across the courtyard as Damien descended like a meteor, cracking the stone beneath his feet. Pulsing shadows wrapped his body, crimson veins glowing as the markings across his face deepened like scars carved by darkness. Santiago stood outside, dressed in a thick, elegant black suit, as if he had been awaiting his arrival. "Took you long enough. I was beginning to doubt," he said, adjusting the cufflinks of his suit. "Finding my liege is a piece of cake," Damien's voice came in, soft as usual, as he strode towards the mansion. "Good. Now hand over the boxes that you got so we can proceed." Santiago stopped him, his usual Spanish accent evident in his calm tone. Damien glanced

Palmer hoisted Valen onto his back and carried him out of the ruined vault. The sight that greeted them in the yard was chaos— everyone was on the ground, writhing in pain.."Neither of them was the real Valen," Kael gasped, clutching his abdomen."He had us checkmated before we could move a piece," Palmer replied, carefully setting Valen down. "He was thinking three steps ahead... aimed for the orb while avoiding unnecessary fights.""How did he know where to look immediately? That box has the entity's energy sealed; he couldn't have located it that easily," Max said."He must've gotten the orb's location from Damien's memory," Valen replied, already pushing himself up, his face set.Sarah, already pale with dread, gasped. "Doesn't that mean he knows where the Black Orb is as well?""No. If he really tampered with Damien's memory to get the location of the first one, then he won't know where the Black Orb is," Valen asserted, his voice firm and confident. "I hid that box myself. He s
Chapter 54
The tension within the Montgomery estate remained a suffocating presence. Damien writhed on the floor, still groaning in excruciating pain as the ominous dark lines continued their relentless spread across his body. Everyone frantically worked to hold him down, desperate to keep him conscious. His eyes flickered open, each time glowing with an unsettling crimson light."His eyes are glowing? His eyes are glowing! Why are his eyes glowing!?" Sarah shrieked, her voice close to breaking."Hey kid, don't give in to him! Keep your eyes open. Don't snooze..." Fenris urged, his voice firm, leaning over Damien."I'm trying... He's... forcing them... Closed..." Damien gasped, his words strained through agony."Damien? Damien, listen to me..." Fenris pressed. "What do you see? What does he look like?"Damien struggled, fighting against the overwhelming force. "... I can't really... Make out his face, but... his eyes are glowing... Just like... Palmer's."Palmer's head snapped up, a cold dread s

"I wished you'd just cease to exist." The woman's voice, ragged and raw, sliced through the air like a rusty blade. Her dark hair, matted and unkempt, clung to her face as she grabbed the little boy's hair, her fingers digging into his scalp, and flung him against the wall of their squalid home.He landed with a thud, his small body crumpling, but his face remained terrifyingly blank. He made no sound, only scraped his nails on the wooden floor as if searching for purchase in the world.She looked as tattered and unkept as her words, barely hanging on to life herself. Stepping forward, she kicked him hard on the head. "Could you just get out of our lives already?""Hey, hey..." A hulking man, clearly drunk, swayed into the room, a cigarette dangling from his lips and a pistol clutched in his hand. "If you really don't wanna see him forever, why don't you just kill him?""We've done that several times, remember," she retorted, covering her mouth as if to stifle a retch. "But he just ke
