171 - A Reality He Wished He Never Found About VI
Adams laughed bitterly. “I understand now,” he said.Everyone fell silent.His eyes never left Elizabeth.“Lucas didn’t just appear in my life,” Adams continued. “He and you are together. You conspired with each other to create me and he was the first that was meant to abandon me and plant the sense and pain of being fatherless in my life.”“While he was absent, you would claim to love me and then gradually turn your back against me, waiting to see who I'll break, disrupt and die. You had no hope that I'll survive. All the stories he said about being in love with you were lies. Even my ability to view history and the past were all liesss. They were plans made by you both in order to control my mind.”Elizabeth did not interrupt.“If you hadn’t ordered it, Lucas would never have surfaced. I won't have gotten to bid on sky enterprises. You planned everything. Right! I am one of your most favored experiments that turned out very successful” Adams swallowed.“Julius is evil yet you didn'
170 - The Truth V
Elizabeth watched Adams come apart and did not flinch.Adams’ breathing was uneven, his shoulders tight with years of swallowed pain, but none of it moved her.Not a blink. Not a tremor. It was as if she were observing a storm she had long ago calculated.“You are too entitled,” she said calmly.The words sliced through the air.Adams looked up, disbelief flashing through his tears.“What…?”“You were not meant to live a small life, Adams,” Elizabeth continued, her tone measured, almost instructional.“And small lives require comfort. You were never entitled to that.”Elizabeth’s gaze never left him.“You were meant to “become”. And becoming is not gentle.”Adams shook his head slowly.“You watched me suffer and this is your excuse?”“No,” she replied. “This is your explanation. Grow up according to your preposition.”The word struck him wrong.“Preposition?”“What does that even mean?” he demanded.Elizabeth did not answer. Instead, she lifted one hand.“Bring me a chair.”The comman
169 - A Damage That Lives With Him IV
The castle settled onto the Central Field without a sound.As the doors opened, the air outside felt different. They stepped out.Waiting for them were thousands of people, arranged in vast, deliberate arcs around the field. Every one of them dark-skinned, their features varied yet unified by bearing alone, upright, composed, and watchful.Their garments were not ceremonial excess like the Convergence performers’, but elegant and restrained, woven with symbols that showed faintly in rhythm with the city itself.Erica slowed unconsciously. “They’re all just… watching.”“They are witnessing,” Ogodo corrected. “This is not a performance.”A path opened through the crowd without a word being spoken. At its end stood a woman.She wore no crown, yet authority radiated from her as tangibly as gravity. Her hair was silvered at the temples, her posture relaxed but unyielding, eyes sharp with intelligence and warmth held in careful balance.When she stepped forward, the people inclined their he
168 - Visitors From Beyond The Veil III
The wave of null slowed before it reached the castle.It washed across the Central Field like a held breath, cold but controlled, stripping nothing permanent, breaking no anchors. The castle flickered once more… then stabilized, its white glow reasserting itself with quiet defiance.Baxter exhaled sharply. “So… are we about to die or, ”“No,” Ogodo said, almost amused. “Nothing will happen.”She folded her hands behind her back, watching the sky as though this were a familiar sport. “This is not war in your sense. It is a ritual conflict. A game of dominance.”Below them, the panic dissolved into something else… Anticipation. Platforms around the field lit up with cascading sigils. Probability grids flared into existence. Entire sections of the city began projecting shifting numbers, odds recalculating in real time.Lorenzo frowned. “Are those… wagers?”“Yes,” Ogodo replied. “Some people gamble big. Prestige. Resources. Future favors. Even territories.” She glanced at the Star-Eater,
167 - The Convergence II
Ogodo led them deeper into Kogi, the streets subtly rearranged themselves, pathways widening, lights softening, colors shifting into warm, iridescent hues. Towers bent ever so slightly, like elegant giants bowing in acknowledgment. Soft harmonic tones rippled through the air, a melodic resonance that seemed tuned to their heartbeats.“Are the buildings… reacting to us?” Erica whispered.“Yes,” Ogodo replied serenely. “Kogi recognizes distinction. The city adjusts itself to honor guests of high value.”Before any of them could respond, a procession emerged from the central boulevard. Figures clad in flowing, luminescent garments approached, men and women adorned with crystalline threads that pulsed gently with light. Floating drones hovered above them, projecting delicate symbols that shimmered like constellations.One stepped forward and bowed deeply.“Honored Ones,” the figure said, voice layered with a soft echo, “Kogi welcomes you.”With a graceful wave of his hand, garments mat
166 - An Adventure In Kogi Country I
The landscape gradually opened into a vast expanse, and before them stood a city that seemed torn from a dream.Towering skyscrapers of shimmering glass and metal spiraled into the sky, their surfaces alive with light, holograms flickering like distant stars.Roads floated above the ground, lined with vehicles that glided silently, leaving trails of luminescent energy in their wake. The air vibrated faintly, as if the city itself was alive and breathing.“This… this is insane,” Baxter muttered, eyes wide as he stumbled slightly on the smooth ground. “I’ve never seen anything like it.”“Insane doesn’t even begin to cover it,” Lorenzo added, brushing ash off his shoulders while craning his neck.“It’s… advanced. Way more advanced than anything back home.”A figure appeared suddenly, walking toward them from a path lined with gleaming towers. She was human, tall, and black, her posture confident yet welcoming. Her eyes held a quiet curiosity, scanning them as she approached.“Greetings,
