The Road That Burns
The road north was dead.No birds.No insects.Not even the wind dared to stay long.Tharos felt it in his bones before he saw it, the land ahead was scorched, old burn marks cracking the soil like scars that never healed. This wasn’t fresh destruction. This was the kind of damage left by gods who didn’t care what they stepped on.Lyra slowed her pace beside him, boots crunching against blackened gravel. “We’re close,” she said quietly.Tharos nodded. His head still throbbed, a dull pressure behind his eyes that never fully went away anymore. Every time he closed them, flashes tried to claw their way in, firestorms, screaming armies, a blade sinking into divine flesh.He kept walking.The Ember Peaks rose ahead like broken teeth against the sky. Jagged mountains split by rivers of glowing magma, heat waves warping the air above them. Smoke curled from deep within the stone, drifting upward like the land itself was breathing.Something inside Tharos stirred.Not memory.Instinct.His b
When god's Start Running
The mountain was screaming.Not cracking. Not rumbling.Screaming.The Ember Peaks shook as golden fire tore through the chamber, ripping cracks into stone that had survived centuries of heat and war. Magma surged up the walls like living veins, reacting to Tharos’s power as if the mountain itself recognized him.Lyra barely managed to stay on her feet.“Tharos!” she shouted over the roar. “You’re losing control!”He was on his knees, one hand slammed into the stone floor, the other reaching toward the floating crown without fully meaning to. His body shook violently, veins blazing gold and red beneath his skin like molten cracks.The crown hovered inches from his fingers.Calling him.Begging him.Varik’s whisper slithered through the fire again, calm and pleased.“Yes… take it. Finish what they started.”Lyra snarled, spinning toward the darkness. “Shut the hell up!”The flame-formed woman—his mother—stepped between Tharos and the crown. For the first time, her form flickered, weake
The Ember Peaks Don't Forgive
The Ember Peaks rose from the earth like broken teeth.Jagged mountains split the horizon, their tips glowing faint red even under the gray sky. Smoke leaked from cracks in the stone, slow and steady, like the land itself was breathing heat. The air burned the lungs with every breath.Lyra stopped at the edge of the ridge, boots scraping against black rock.“Yeah,” she muttered. “This place hates visitors.”Tharos stood beside her, eyes fixed on the peaks. The moment he set foot on the scorched ground, something inside him stirred. Not rage. Not pain.Recognition.His pulse matched the deep rumble under the stone. The heat didn’t bother him. If anything, it felt familiar.Too familiar.“This is where it happened,” he said quietly.Lyra glanced at him. “What happened?”He didn’t answer right away. His jaw tightened.“I don’t know yet,” he said. “But my blood remembers.”They moved forward.Each step into the Ember Peaks felt heavier, like the land itself was testing them. Ash drifted i
Ash and Blood
The mountain screamed.Not metaphorically. Not poetically.It screamed like something alive was being torn open.Tharos ran.Lyra ran beside him, breath ragged, boots slipping on loose stone as the cavern behind them shook itself apart. Chunks of obsidian fell from the ceiling, smashing into the ground with explosive force. Red light poured through the widening cracks like blood from a wound that wouldn’t close.“Don’t stop!” Tharos shouted.“I’m not—!” Lyra gasped, stumbling as the ground lurched sideways.Tharos caught her arm and hauled her forward without slowing. Heat slammed into their backs, the air thick and burning, every breath tasting like ash and iron.Behind them, Azeron’s prison was failing.The sarcophagus split further with a sound like the world breaking in half. A deep, furious presence rolled outward, pressing against Tharos’s spine, against his skull, against his soul.Not words.Emotion.Rage.Loss.Endless hunger.Tharos’s vision blurred. His steps faltered for
The Mountain That Breathes
The forest thinned as Tharos and Lyra pushed north, the trees gradually giving way to jagged cliffs that clawed at the sky. Wind howled between stone pillars like an ancient beast in pain, carrying with it the metallic scent of ash.The world felt wrong.Too still.Too heavy.Tharos could sense it, something was watching them, far beyond human eyes.The Ember Peaks loomed ahead, massive, violent. Their summits glowed faintly red even at night, as if magma pulsed beneath the rock like blood in a vein.Lyra slowed, her breath forming small clouds in the freezing air.“This place feels… hostile.”Tharos scanned the cliffs. “It should. We’re getting close.”“To what?”He didn’t answer, not yet.Because the truth gnawed at him, with every step toward the mountains, that dormant power inside him twisted tighter, like a beast pacing its cage.Lyra noticed his silence but didn’t push.They climbed a narrow pathway carved into the cliffside. Stones shifted beneath their boots. Far below, darkn
The Voice in the Ash
The forest swallowed the last echo of their footsteps as Tharos and Lyra pushed deeper into the northern wilds. The air grew colder, sharper, like the land itself was holding its breath. Needle-thin branches clawed overhead, blotting out the final scraps of dusk.Tharos slowed.Something inside him shifted.A memory, no, not a memory, a wound, cracked open beneath his ribs.A whisper slid through his skull like a heated blade.“Awaken, Heir of Ash.”Tharos staggered. His breath catched, turning to frost in the air. Lyra turned sharply.“Tharos? What’s wrong?”He didn’t answer. Couldn’t. His heart slammed against his chest like it was trying to escape.The voice grew louder. Heavy. Ancient.“You wander half-born…Power locked…Truth sealed…”Tharos’s knees hit the forest floor.His vision ruptured into red light.Lyra lunged toward him. “Tharos!”But the ground itself reacted first, shuddering, cracking, pulsing with a deep tremor that rolled outward like something buried miles beneat
