The Enemy of My Enemy
Night swallowed the land whole.The place Varik led them to was not marked on any map, because it had been erased from every divine record ever written. Even the air felt wrong there, heavy and distorted, like reality itself didn’t quite agree on its shape.Tharos felt it the moment they crossed the invisible threshold.The world bent.The sound was dulled. Color faded. The sky above fractured into overlapping layers, stars misaligned like broken teeth. Ancient ruins jutted from the ground at impossible angles, half-phased into stone and shadow.Lyra slowed, hand on her blade. “This place hates being real.”Varik stood ahead of them, cloak unmoving despite the wind. He hadn’t looked back once since opening the rift that led them here.“That’s because it isn’t,” Varik said calmly. “Not fully.”Tharos stopped walking.“So this is it,” he said. “Your secret hole in reality.”Varik finally turned.His expression was hard, no mockery, no amusement. Only calculation.“This is where gods com
The Hunt Begins
The gods moved that same night.Tharos felt it before he saw it.The Ember Peaks were quiet behind them now, fading into jagged silhouettes against a bruised sky. Ash drifted on the wind like dying embers. Lyra walked a step ahead, scanning the terrain, alert but limping slightly from the strain Varik’s magic had left behind.Then Tharos’s spine went rigid.He stopped walking.Lyra turned instantly. “What is it?”“They’ve found me.”The air changed.Not wind. Not pressure.Judgment.The sky darkened unnaturally, clouds rolling in fast, thick, swirling in a perfect circular formation. Lightning flashed, not white or blue, but pale gold, branching like cracks in glass.Lyra swore under her breath. “That’s not a storm.”“No,” Tharos said quietly. “That’s a summons.”The first spear hit the ground less than ten paces from them.It slammed into the earth with enough force to crater stone, divine sigils igniting across its shaft. A second followed. Then a third.They weren’t aimed to kill.
What the Gods Took
The mountain screamed.Not in sound, but in pressure.Tharos felt it the moment his foot touched the cracked stone path winding up the Ember Peaks. The air here was thick, heavy, like the world itself was pressing down on his spine, daring him to keep climbing.His vision swam.Gold flickered at the edges again.Lyra noticed immediately.“Hey,” she said, grabbing his arm. “Slow down.”“I can’t,” Tharos muttered. “If I stop moving, I start thinking.”“And if you keep moving, you start burning.”He didn’t answer.They climbed in silence for a while. The ground beneath them glowed faintly red through fractures in the rock, heat breathing up from deep below. The Peaks weren’t just mountains, they were wounds. Old battle scars left behind when gods fought gods and the world lost.Tharos staggered.Lyra caught him before he fell.“Tharos.”He blinked at her, confusion flashing through his eyes.“Why… why do you keep doing that?” he asked.Her chest tightened. “Doing what?”“Saving me.”The
The Price of Power
Tharos did not sleep.His body lay still by the fire, eyes closed, breath steady enough to fool anyone watching, but inside his mind, the world was burning.He stood alone in a vast, empty plain of black glass. The sky above was split with fractures of gold light, like a shattered mirror barely holding together. Every step he took sent cracks racing outward beneath his feet.This place felt familiar.Too familiar.“You’re here earlier than expected,” a voice said.Tharos turned.A figure stood several paces away, tall, cloaked in flickering flame and shadow. Its face was blurred, shifting constantly, as if reality couldn’t decide what it should look like.“I didn’t come here willingly,” Tharos said.The figure chuckled. “None of us ever do.”Tharos flexed his right hand.The gauntlet was gone.In its place was his bare arm, scarred, glowing faintly from within, veins traced with dull gold.“What did you take from me?” Tharos demanded.The figure tilted its head. “You already know.”Th
When God's Begin to Bleed
The gauntlet did not cool.Tharos noticed it first when they were miles away from the Ember Peaks and the air should have been growing colder. The metal still burned faintly against his skin, not painfully but hungrily. Like it was tasting the world through him.Lyra kept glancing at his arm.“You’re radiating heat,” she said finally. “Actual heat.”“I know.”“Can you turn it off?”He flexed his fingers again. Gold light leaked through the seams of the gauntlet, pulsing in rhythm with his heartbeat. He tried to suppress it the way he had learned to suppress everything else.The gauntlet ignored him.“No,” he said. “I'm awake now.”That should’ve scared him more than it did.They had barely made camp when the sky changed.Not clouds. Not the weather.Pressure.The stars dimmed, as if something massive had passed between the world and the heavens. The air thickened until breathing felt like pushing through water.Lyra reached for her blades. “That’s not Varik.”“No,” Tharos said quietly
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
