Dawn of the eclipse
Vaeloric gripped the edge of the stadium roof tightly that the concrete cracked under his fingers. The dark veins on his neck and jaw were throbbing in time with the gates heartbeat. Dawn was just minutes away. The sky had turned a angrier red like an open wound ready to spill its blood."Come on " Vaeloric muttered through clenched teeth. "Just hold on."Elara stood behind him her hands pressed against his back pouring all her energy into the fight against the mark. Sweat was running down her face. "Its fighting me harder now. Ninety-six percent. Vaeloric, if it hits one hundred percent..."Vaeloric cut her off. His voice was rougher than he meant it to be. He turned to catch her eyes. "You know what happens " he said. "You should be downstairs with the others. If this goes wrong I do not want you near me."Elara shook her head stubborn. "I am not leaving you Vaeloric. You are still the man who pulled strangers out of burning buildings. I saw those memories when I healed you. Do not
Blood Calls to Blood
Vaeloric woke up choking on his blood. The black veins had crawled into his throat at night squeezing like a living wire. He rolled off the cot in the war room and slammed his fist on the floor cracking the tile."Breathe " he gasped to himself. "Still human. Still in control."The Matriarch laughed softly in his mind. *Liar.*Elara burst through the door without knocking healing light already glowing in her hands. Mira followed behind a suppressor cuff in hand. "It spiked again " Elara said, dropping to her knees beside him. "Hold still."He grabbed her wrist before she could touch him. "How "" Sixty-eight to seventy-four percent in four hours " Mira answered for her. "Your blood is making it worse. We need to move on the gate today not in three days."Vaeloric pushed himself up ignoring the pain in his veins. He snapped on the suppressor cuff. Cool relief spread,. It felt weaker than before. "Then we move. Wake everyone. Lira on point with the fire teams. Kael stays chained to me.
Veins of Crimson Doubt
Vaeloric stood over Elara his bone blade pressed against her throat. The war room was a mess it smelled like smoke and blood and sweat. Elara was on her knees her eyes were red from crying. She looked determined.Vaeloric said "Talk" in a voice. "You let Lira out of her cell you gave her back her sword. Why did you do that?"Elara swallowed the blade moved a little when she did. "I saw what was happening to you Vaeloric. I saw the veins under your skin like worms. The Sovereigns told me to save the people who can still be saved."Vaeloric laughed it was a bitter sound. "Save them by giving my place to cultists and traitors? Look around see what is happening."The room was a mess there were broken windows, blood on the carpet and broken furniture. Outside Vaelorics people were working they were quiet they were piling up bodies. The people who were still alive looked empty like they had given up.Elaras voice was shaking. "You used Lira like an animal you made her do what you wanted. Is
Shadows in the Bloodline
Vaeloric slammed Lira against the wall of the holding room. The chains were loud in the light. "You said we had nine days until the first Sovereign arrives. Start talking. I will hurt you right now."Lira smiled, her lip bleeding. Her face was sweaty and covered in ash. Her eyes still had that cold fire. "You think chaining me up makes you safe? The mark is already inside you Thane. I can smell it."Elara stood by the door her arms crossed. She looked like she wanted to help Lira to shut her up. "This is pointless. She will say anything to hurt you."Vaeloric told Elara to be quiet. He put his hand on Liras forehead. Took some of her memories. He saw pictures of hidden altars and people in robes chanting under moons. He also saw a face that made his stomach drop. It was Kael, standing beside Doctor Crowe in a lab coat laughing.Vaeloric pulled fast. "Kael was not just working for Crowe. He was working with him from the beginning."Lira laughed quietly. "It took you enough. Crowe does
The Gate That Whispered Back
Vaeloric kicked open the maintenance door and looked down the stairs into the darkness. "Lights " he said.Kael turned on a flashlight he had found. The light was not very strong. Only made a small hole in the darkness. "This feels wrong. The Matriarch is pushing you hard " Kael said.Vaeloric started down the stairs anyway. He made a suit of bone armor to protect himself. Every step he took made a noise. Kael, Elara and four of Vaelorics guards followed him. They had left Lira chained upstairs with some guards to watch her. Vaeloric did not trust her because she was being too quiet.The air downstairs was cold and damp. It smelled like stone and something sharp like the smell you get just before lightning strikes.Elaras voice was shaking a little. "People are still scared upstairs. Some want to leave. Others say you are no better than the cults."Vaeloric said, "Let them talk. Talking does not make armies."They reached the bottom of the stairs. A big room opened up in front of them
Stadium of Ash and Flame
Vaeloric raised his hand. The column stopped moving. "There is an ambush ahead. Three snipers are on the overpass."Kael dropped to one knee beside him. Looked through some binoculars they found in a wrecked police car. "Are you sure? I do not see them."Vaeloric said "Remember what the last rifleman saw" and that was it.Before Kael could say anything a shot was fired. The bullet hit the bone titans shoulder. Vaelorics people ran to hide behind burned-out cars and fallen streetlights.Vaeloric said "Fire "His marksmen. Three people from the night before. Lifted their rifles and started shooting. One sniper. Fell from the overpass.Liras voice came from the walls two blocks away. "Thane you brought your people to my place? That is nice."Vaeloric stepped out into the open. Some bone armor formed on his shoulders and chest. "This stadium belongs to the dead now Voss.. You will get hurt."Lira laughed. "You talk big for someone hiding behind people.. Take it if you can."Elara moved up
