617. The Destined Heiress
In a different realm ruled by the lapping waves of an infinite and turbulent sea, Priscilla climbed out of a narrow breathing hole and emerged onto the sandy shores of an ancient cave with moss-lined walls.She had been dropped straight into the sea and swum for nearly an hour to finally reach dry land. Her clothes were drenched, her hair soaking wet and tangled in seaweed, but the fire of vengeance kept her going.Priscilla snapped a glowstick and used its bright green glow to navigate the narrow underwater cave.A sloping path skirted by stalactite formations and a sheer rocky edge led upward. It was nearly a 100-foot drop on the left, while the walls on the right were covered in slimy moss and barely offered any grip.Finding this obscure cave in the middle of the ocean had been a daunting task, but Priscilla had proved herself more than capable.However, now that she had reached the cave, she felt a strange power emanating from deep within.Priscilla headed up the steep climb, gui
616. Flames of the Righteous
Shivering and shaking, Xander staggered back with chattering teeth and pale cheeks that had sunk into sullen depressions.Even though he had finally been freed from his icy prison, the chill was still cutting through his flesh like a knife.“The restless old lion still wanders the worlds beyond, seeking his lost glory even though he is toothless and weak,” Kiimil rasped, regarding the cloaked stranger with a condescending gaze that seemed especially reserved for him. “All you can do is vex me. But I am beyond your powers.”“Yet you are not beyond his,” the cloaked man replied, turning to look at Xander. “The prophecy was never about me. I am only here to guide the hand of the last prince.”Rubbing his hands together, Xander warmed himself and finally stopped shivering. And as he glanced at the cloaked figure, he realized it was the same man who had saved him all those years ago from the massacre at the research facility in Zarturia.“You were there that night. You carried me in your a
615. Kiimil: The Lord of Decay
The robed one rose above the snow-covered landscape and flicked his wrist, hurling a dozen dagger-like icicles straight at Xander.Xander touched his phoenix ring and crossed his arms in front of his face.A shield of light encased him within a sphere of warmth, instantly melting the icicles before they could reach him.“The lost relic of the Primal Phoenix. How very clever! But it won’t save you from your fate,” the robed one rasped. “I am Kiimil, the Lord of Death and Decay, and you are destined to wither amidst the snow!”Kiimil flew higher and unleashed another barrage of icicles at Xander.“Give in to winter’s embrace!”But Xander held on, conjuring all his mental strength to focus on the relic and fortify his shield.The icicles shattered, showering him with snow.“My turn now!”Xander pulled out a polymer crossbow from inside his suit and fired a steel-tipped bolt at the robed figure hovering overhead.Kiimil took the blow head-on without even trying to dodge it.The projectile
614. Winter’s Embrace
Braving the icy winds which would have frozen any other human, Xander pushed forward, trudging through the knee-high snow.Neither the keen sting of the numbing cold air nor the snow dragging him down was enough to hold him back.“I am coming for you. The people of Zarturia deserve justice!”Fighting his way through the blizzard, Xander pressed on, driven by an insatiable desire for revenge.It was vengeance burning in his heart, fueling him to forget everything around him.The nameless one watched from the blurry whiteness, hoping to see Xander perish in the snowstorm, but instead, the boy from Zarturia burned like an undying flame, cutting through the snowy landscape with mad determination.“The royal blood runs warm through your veins. But this isn’t Zarturia, my Prince. This is the realm of eternal winter. The domain of death and decay!”“I have already died once. I am not afraid of climbing my way out of the grave a second time!” Xander rasped, gritting his teeth. “If you’re real
613. The Flipside
Leaving their familiar world behind, Xander and Priscilla stepped under the archway and entered the smoky rift.The next steps that they took sent them flying across a space of nebulous nothingness, blurring everything around them.Red lightning crackled around them as the winds wailed in their faces.They fell through the interdimensional crack and were sucked into the parallel plane on the other side.After a hellish fall that seemed to have lasted several hours, Xander and Priscilla crashed into a field of red dandelions.Xander was the first to get up and reach for his sister.“Priscilla, are you alright? Give me your hand.”Priscilla pulled herself up, grabbing onto her brother’s hand.“I am fine. Just can’t stop my heart from racing.”As she looked around, however, the sea of red flowers took her breath away.Above them, stretched a fiery red sky with two scarlet moons staring at the land below.“What kind of place is this?” Priscilla asked, her voice shaky and her hands sweaty
612. Doorway of Doom
Xander and Priscilla followed the markings on the wall, and the golden crosses carved into the pillars guided them to the back door, which led to a narrow garden path flanked by shriveled hedges.The chapel stood on the other side, overgrown with dark red vines and cobwebs.As soon as Xander set foot upon the marble steps, his whole body shuddered, and he felt a powerful vibration run down his spine.Even Priscilla felt a tremor within as she sensed a strange energy coming from inside the chapel.Xander pushed the old wooden doors open and stepped inside, taking measured and cautious steps.The chapel had been abandoned almost 20 years ago, but there was still the scent of incense in the air, and the golden cross stood at the far end, untouched by the damage and decay around it.“This is it, sister. The end of the road,” Xander remarked as he walked up to the granite altar and pulled the vines away. “You can still turn back if you want. Ashari will bring the chopper back and pick you
