2025-02-22 16:19:59The Sky Burns
Titan erupted into war.
Above the frozen wasteland, Guardian warships rained fire from the heavens, their cannons tearing through the icy terrain. Below, the Forsaken screamed in unison—a haunting, inhuman battle cry.
Jace ran.
He sprinted through the ruins, the battlefield collapsing around him. Shattered ice and molten debris rained from the sky, the very ground beneath his feet cracking from the impact of orbital strikes.
But none of it mattered.
Not the Guardians. Not the Forsaken.
Only Kiera.
He had lost her.
The moment she rose into the air, silver light crackling around her body, he knew. She wasn’t Kiera anymore.
She was something else.
And now?
She was leading the Forsaken against the Guardians.
The war had returned.
Jace’s comms crackled. “Jace, do you copy?”
It was Commander Vale. A Guardian officer. The one who had given him the signal to call for reinforcements.
Jace didn’t answer.
Vale’s voice turned sharp. “Do you have a visual on the target?”
Jace stopped running. He turned and looked up.
There she was.
Kiera, floating above the battlefield, surrounded by an army of nightmares.
Her silver eyes burned like fire. Her veins pulsed with an energy he didn’t recognize.
She wasn’t human.
She had never been.
Jace gritted his teeth. “Yeah. I see her.”
A pause.
Then Vale’s voice came through, cold as steel.
“Then take her down.”

Kiera Awakens
She could feel everything.
The pull of the Forsaken. The fire of the Guardians.
The rage of a war that never truly ended.
Kiera hovered in the sky, watching Titan burn below her. She could hear every scream. See every movement. Every death.
And she knew—this was what she was meant to be.
A leader. A weapon.
A god.
The Forsaken below moved as one, obeying her instinctively. She could feel their loyalty. Their devotion.
But there was one presence that didn’t belong.
Jace.
Her silver eyes snapped downward, locking onto him.
He had betrayed her.
He had called the Guardians.
And now?
He was standing there, rifle raised, staring at her like she was a monster.
Kiera’s veins burned.
Something deep inside her snapped.
And for the first time, she spoke—not with her voice, but with something else.
Something deeper. Something ancient.
“You should have run, Jace.”
Then she struck.

The Attack
Jace barely dived aside before a shockwave of silver energy slammed into the ground where he had been standing. Ice and debris exploded into the air.
Kiera just tried to kill him.
No hesitation. No doubt.
Jace hit the ground hard, gasping for air. His mind raced.
This wasn’t Kiera.
Not the one he knew.
Not the one he—
A shadow loomed over him.
He rolled just in time to avoid another Forsaken slashing at him with a blade of liquid metal.
Jace fired point-blank—the pulse rounds tearing through the creature’s chest.
But it didn’t die.
The Forsaken twisted its body unnaturally, reforming instantly.
Jace swore.
No time to think. No time to hesitate.
He needed to reach the Guardian base.
If they could regroup, they could still take her down.
---
The Guardians Strike Back
Above Titan, the Guardian fleet adjusted formation.
They weren’t retreating.
They were preparing something big.
Jace’s comm crackled again. “This is Commander Vale—charging the Trinity Cannon. All units clear the target zone.”
Jace’s stomach dropped.
The Trinity Cannon.
A planet-killer weapon.
They weren’t here to capture Kiera.
They were here to wipe Titan off the map.
Jace ran faster. “Vale, you need to stop—”
“Negative.” Vale’s voice was firm. “The Forsaken must be eradicated. And if Kiera dies with them—so be it.”
Jace’s hands clenched into fists.
They were going to kill her.
He had betrayed her once.
He wasn’t going to do it again.
Jace turned back toward the battlefield.
He wasn’t running anymore.
He was going back for her.
---
Kiera’s Wrath
In the skies above, Kiera felt the Guardians’ weapon charging.
They were going to destroy Titan.
Her people. Her home.
No.
She lifted her hands, and the Forsaken moved as one.
The Guardians would not win this time.
With a single command, the sky turned black.
Hundreds of Forsaken leapt into the air, colliding with Guardian warships like living missiles. The ships detonated on impact, torn apart by creatures that could not be killed.
Kiera raised her hand toward the Trinity Cannon—
And closed her fist.
The cannon shattered into pieces.
The Guardians had lost.
---
Jace’s Last Stand
Jace arrived too late.
The Guardian fleet was in ruins. Titan belonged to the Forsaken now.
And standing at the heart of the battlefield—
Was Kiera.
Not the woman he had known.
Not the woman he had loved.
Something else.
She turned toward him, silver eyes burning.
Jace raised his weapon. One last time.
“Kiera…” His voice shook.
She stared at him for a long time.
Then—she smiled.
Not with warmth.
Not with kindness.
With victory.
“Run, Jace.”
Jace clenched his jaw. “Not without you.”
Her smile faded. “Then you’ll die with them.”
The Forsaken surrounded him.
Jace’s pulse pounded.
This was it.
His last stand.
---
The Final Twist
Then—
A new voice echoed across Titan.
Not Forsaken. Not Guardian.
Something else.
Something far worse.
“You are all children playing in a war that does not belong to you.”
The sky split open.
A shadow descended from the stars.
And Kiera—for the first time—felt something she hadn’t felt since awakening.
Fear.

CHAPTER 25: THE RISING STORM
The battlefield was still.For the first time since Titan had turned into a warzone, there was no gunfire. No screams. No destruction.Only silence.The Forsaken stood in perfect formation, their silver eyes locked on Kiera. They had once knelt in fear before the entity. But now? They were waiting for her command.Kiera barely felt them. Her focus was elsewhere.She turned to Jace.He was still kneeling in the frost-covered ruins, staring at his hands. His fingers curled, his veins glowing with a new light.Not silver.Not gold.Something else.Something undiscovered.Kiera swallowed hard. “Jace?”He looked up at her.For a moment, she thought she saw fear in his expression.Not fear of her.Fear of himself.---Jace’s AwakeningJace exhaled sharply. His breath came out in a visible mist, even though his body temperature should have prevented that.His senses were too sharp. He could hear the ice cracking beneath Titan’s surface, feel the tremors before they even happened. His vision
CHAPTER 24: THE UNMAKING
The Moment the Universe StoppedThe battlefield was silent.Titan, a planet that had just been torn apart by war, stood frozen in time. The Forsaken no longer moved, their bodies locked in place like statues of living darkness.Jace lay on the ground, barely breathing, his veins turning black, his body twisting into something unnatural.And in the center of it all, Kiera stood alone.Before her, the entity loomed, its form shifting like a black hole given shape. It was beyond words, beyond description—a thing that was never meant to be seen.It had broken the Forsaken.It had rewritten Jace.And now?It had turned its attention to her.Kiera’s hands shook as she knelt beside Jace. His pulse was weak, his breath ragged. The black veins creeping up his skin pulsed, as if something inside him was trying to consume him.“Jace?” Her voice was barely a whisper.His eyes flickered open—but they weren’t his eyes anymore.They were silver.Just like hers.Kiera’s chest tightened.No.No, no, n
CHAPTER 23: THE VOICE FROM THE VOID
The Sky Cracks OpenThe war should have been over.The Guardians were gone. The Forsaken stood victorious on the ruins of Titan.And Kiera?She was finally where she belonged.But then the sky tore itself apart.A soundless rupture split the atmosphere, like the universe itself was screaming without a voice.And something descended.Not a ship.Not an army.Something else.Kiera felt it before she saw it.A pressure.A weight that crushed against her very existence.She had thought she was powerful. She had thought the Forsaken were the dominant force now.But this?This was beyond power.The Forsaken army—her army—staggered back, their silver eyes flickering. Some of them collapsed where they stood, clawing at their heads. Their bodies convulsed.Even the most monstrous among them—creatures that had survived planetary annihilation—were afraid.Kiera’s breath caught in her throat.She didn’t understand.What could possibly make the Forsaken afraid?Then it arrived.And for the first t

CHAPTER 21: THE FORGOTTEN WAR
The Throne RoomThe air felt heavy, thick with a pressure Kiera had never known before.She was still on her knees, struggling to breathe, her mind fractured by the truth.The woman—her reflection—stood above her, silent, waiting. The creatures around them didn’t move. Rows of them stood in the shadows, their silver eyes locked on her.Waiting.For her.Not as a prisoner.Not as an enemy.As their leader.Jace’s grip on his weapon tightened. “Kiera, get up.”She forced herself to move, her entire body shaking.She looked at Jace, and in his eyes, she saw something she had never seen before.Fear.Not fear of the creatures.Fear of her.Kiera swallowed hard. “Jace, I—”He took a step back.“Tell me it’s not true,” he whispered.She couldn’t.Because it was.She wasn’t human.She never had been.And Jace knew it now.---The ChoiceKiera turned back to her reflection—the woman who had once been her.“What… what am I?” Kiera’s voice was raw.The woman smiled. “You already know the answer
CHAPTER 20: THE TRUTH BENEATH THE ICE
The Storm OutsideThe walls of the ship shuddered as something slammed against the exterior.Kiera and Jace barely had a second to react before the ship’s emergency alarms screamed to life.“HULL INTEGRITY COMPROMISED.”“EXTERNAL BREACH DETECTED.”Jace spun to the console, his face pale. “They’re trying to break in.”Kiera’s heart pounded.Outside, the creatures were waiting.Not attacking. Not clawing at the hull like mindless animals.Waiting.Kiera felt it.A cold, gnawing sensation in the back of her skull.They were waiting for her.Jace grabbed a rifle, his voice tight. “We can’t stay here.”Kiera barely heard him. Her skin was burning again. The veins in her arms pulsed with silver light.Something inside her was waking up.She clutched the edge of the console, breathing fast.Then—A whisper.Not in her ears.Inside her mind.“Come home.”Her vision blurred—She wasn’t in the ship anymore.For a split second, she saw something else—a massive chamber beneath Titan’s surface, fi
