Chapter 10: The God of Ruin
Glassy air seemed to shimmer.She stepped back, her heart racing, as Riven's reflection began to move of its own accord.It turned toward them, its features identical to his… except the eyes.Whereas Riven's were storm gray and alive, this version's glowed with pure, devouring void.“Who” Lyra began, but her voice caught.The shadow spoke first, and its tone was calm, yet heavy with an old, terrible authority.“I am what he buried.”Riven's hands clenched. "No," he said quietly. "You're what they made me bury."The shadow smiled, slow and cruel. "And what are you now, Riven? A broken god masquerading as human? You traded ruin for weakness.The plain around them pulsed. The Vein reacted to their confrontation, lines of molten gold cut across the ground. Lyra could feel it: their energies colliding and distorting reality itself.“Riven, stop,” she whispered. “It’s feeding on both of you.”He didn't move. His gaze was fixed on his other self. "If I don't kill him, he'll destroy everythin
Chapter 9: The Veins of Dawn
The world was silent once more.Too quiet.The mirrored realm was gone replaced by endless twilight, where dawn and night bled together in soft waves of color. The stars pulsed like living hearts above, their light weaving slowly across the horizon.Riven sat amidst the stillness, holding Lyra close. Her pulse flickered faintly against his chest fragile but steady, like a song only he could hear.Her hair was silvery white now, and it shimmered in his arms as if catching light from another world.“You shouldn’t have done that,” he whispered, his voice hoarse. “You nearly burned yourself away.”Her eyes fluttered open, soft and luminous and tired."You would have done the same for me," she murmured.He smiled faintly, brushing his thumb along her jaw. “I already did.”The heavens declare His righteousness, And all the peoples have seen His glory.They had lain down to rest amidst the ruins of the Dusk Realm, bits of shattered mirror glowing like constellations around them. The silence
Chapter 8: The God Beneath the Sky
There was no air.No sound.Only the slow heartbeat of the universe.Riven drifted in darkness. He wasn't falling not exactly. He was unmade, scattered across light and shadow, his thoughts fragments of something ancient.The last thing he remembered was Lyra's voice her scream breaking through the collapsing world.“I didn’t save the world for it, I saved it for you.”That voice lingered, pulling at what little remained of him.He opened his eyes.Above, there was no sky whatsoever, but rather an expanse of black glass, billowing with constellations that blinked in and out of existence. Beneath him, the ground was ash cracked, trembling with faint veins of red and silver light.He was standing in the Underrealm of the Gods, the place where fallen divinities go once their faith fades.And yet, the place seemed to breathe with his own pulse.Riven looked down. His hands were streaked with shifting veins of light one red, one silver. The two halves of the god still fought within him.Th
Chapter 7: The City Without Stars
The world began again in silence.No thunder. No divine fire. Only the soft hum of a city waking to morning.Lyra opened her eyes under a sky colored like pale smoke. For a moment, she did not even know her own name. The world around her pulsed faintly, as if it too were still learning to breathe: towers gleaming with rainwater, streets shimmering in the light that was not sunlight.She sat up slowly. Her head throbbed. Her palms were streaked with faint silver dust that sparkled, then faded as she blinked.A voice drifted faintly through her mind-deep, familiar, fading with every heartbeat."Follow the light of the next eclipse."Her breath caught. “Who?”But the voice was gone.The city felt too quiet.People moved around her, laughing, talking, living, but something about them seemed hollow, like echoes trapped inside their own reflections. Every window mirrored her face at odd angles; every shadow seemed to flicker when she turned away.She tried to shake it off and wandered throu
Chapter 6: The God in the Dark
The light from the Second Eclipse had scorched the horizon.The air shook as if the heavens were screaming.When the light finally dimmed, the world was wrong.The stars were gone. The moon was stationary, lodged in the sky at its midpoint, neither full nor broken.And Riven Kael was no more.She stood at the very center of the ruins, where the Vein was pulsating faintly under her feet, alive with the residue of divine blood. With every heartbeat, a rumble as of thunder echoed in her ears."Riven." she whispered. Her voice cracked. "Where are you?"No answer. Only the whisper of the wind, and the faint hum of energy that felt almost… conscious.She dropped to her knees. Her fingers brushed against the surface of the glowing fissure, and instantly a flood of visions filled her mind: temples burning, gods screaming, a man with silver eyes falling into endless darkness.She gasped and jerkily withdrew her hand.“He’s trapped…” she whispered. “Inside the Vein.”A shadow stirred behind her
Chapter 5: The God in the Mirror
Darkness.Not the kind that blinds, the kind that listens.Riven floated in a great, endless void, where the light moved like liquid and sound echoed like memory. His body felt weightless, suspended in a place untouched by time.Stars exhaled around him when he tried to breathe; the void answered when he tried to speak.You finally return.The voice was everywhere, in the air, the stars, even his own heartbeat. Deep, ancient, familiar.Riven turned slowly. "Who are you?"A figure stepped out of the darkness: tall, cloaked in twilight, eyes glowing like dying suns. His face looked almost human, save that his skin was covered in faint cracks, out of which light seeped, like molten gold.You know who I am, said the being. You've heard me whisper in every heartbeat; you've felt my anger in every breath.Riven’s pulse quickened. “The God of Dusk.”The figure smiled faintly. “Dusk… They named me that after they betrayed me. But before that, I was simply Elarion.”Riven frowned. “You destroy
