Shattered trust

Jace Caldwell’s scar burned as Mara, the first Marked, lunged, her rune-etched dagger glinting in the shadow city’s plaza, aimed at his throat.

The Shroud’s maw yawned wider, red tendrils spiraling from the spire’s veined face, its eyes blazing like twin furnaces. Lena Voss stood rigid, the new Obsidian Heart in her hands, her voice cold—“I lied”—as she betrayed Jace, her eyes hard, not the woman Ethan loved. Aria, the young Marked girl, cowered, clutching the fourth Heart’s shards, her red eyes flickering with terror.

The sixth Heart pulsed weakly at Jace’s feet, its glow dim, syncing with his scar. Ethan’s scream echoed in his skull: Jace! His heart was a tangle of grief, rage, and betrayal—Ethan’s ash, Lena’s knife, Mara’s red eyes.

The air stung with the tang of molten stone and something bitter, like regret soaked in ash.Jace’s scar flared, time slowing—his body dodged, Mara’s dagger grazing his cheek, blood beading, then vanishing as the scar healed, sluggish, raw. “Mara, sto

Key To The Void
Jace Caldwell’s scar burned, a jagged pulse searing his chest as NexTech’s neon-lit city quaked, the void-core—a massive, living machine etched with the company’s logo—pulsing like a heart on the brink of rupture. His mirror-self stood before it, eyes black, scar blazing, clutching a silver Obsidian Heart, its pulse a low thrum, like a storm trapped in steel. The mirror’s voice, a twisted echo of Jace’s, declared: “You’re not the sacrifice. You’re the key.” Lena Voss—merged with her mirror-self, eyes flickering between human and white, scar pulsing—stood nearby, her voice a haunting blend: “I’m the pulse.” Aria, the young Marked girl, screamed, her gold Heart flaring in her trembling hands, its wild pulse cracking the ground like a star fracturing. Ethan’s form flickered, half-ash, wired to the core, his black eyes faint, his rasps barely human. The air reeked of molten steel and something acrid, like loyalty burned to cinders. Jace’s Glock trembled, his heart a snarl of grief, ra
Pulse Of The Void
Jace Caldwell’s scar burned, a jagged pulse ripping through his chest as NexTech’s neon-lit city quaked, the void-core—a massive, living machine etched with the company’s logo—pulsing like a heart ready to burst. The mirror-Lena stood before it, eyes white, scar blazing, her voice a twisted echo of Lena’s: “You’re not the pulse. I am.” Aria screamed, her small hands clutching a gold Obsidian Heart, its wild pulse cracking the ground, like a star fracturing under pressure. Ethan lay wired to the core, his black eyes flickering, a silver Heart embedded in his chest, his faint rasps barely human. Lena—the real Lena—gripped Jace’s arm, her eyes human, tears carving paths through blood-streaked grime, her redemption hanging by a thread. Azrael, the Void’s architect, loomed nearby, his void-black eyes glinting, the white Heart in his hand pulsing like a dying bone. The air reeked of molten steel and something sour, like loyalty charred to ash. Jace’s Glock trembled, his heart a snarl of
Born Of The Void
Jace Caldwell’s scar burned, a jagged pulse tearing through his chest as NexTech’s neon-lit city trembled, the void-core—a massive, living machine etched with the company’s logo—pulsing like a heart on the verge of bursting. The new man stood before it, eyes void-black, scar blazing, clutching a white Obsidian Heart, its pulse a low thrum, like a storm trapped in bone. His voice, like a bell in a void, echoed: “The Void’s heart is born, and it’s all of you.” Ethan stood nearby, unwired, black eyes flickering, a gold Heart pulsing in his hand, his face haunted, not the brother Jace knew. Lena Voss gripped Jace’s arm, her eyes human, tears cutting through blood-streaked grime, her voice raw from her fleeting redemption. Aria, the young Marked girl, cowered behind a shattered spire, her red eyes streaming, clutching the fourth Heart’s shards. The air reeked of molten steel and something bitter, like trust charred to ash. Jace’s Glock trembled, his heart a snarl of grief, rage, and fe
The Sacrifice's Edge
Jace Caldwell’s scar burned, a jagged pulse ripping through his chest as NexTech’s neon-lit city trembled, the void-core—a massive machine, its surface etched with the company’s logo—pulsing like a diseased heart. Ethan lay wired to it, alive, his black eyes flickering, a silver Obsidian Heart embedded in his chest, its pulse a low thrum, like a storm trapped in iron. The white-eyed woman stood before the core, her scar blazing, holding a blacker-than-night Heart, her voice like a storm breaking: “You’re the sacrifice, Caldwell.” Lena Voss gripped Jace’s arm, her eyes human, tears cutting through blood-streaked grime, her betrayal still raw despite her whispered apologies. Aria, the young Marked girl, cowered behind a shattered spire, her red eyes streaming, clutching the fourth Heart’s shards. The air stung with the reek of molten steel and something acrid, like hope charred to ash. Jace’s Glock trembled, his heart a tangle of grief, rage, and doubt—Ethan’s wired form, Lena’s shak
The Mirror Of The Void
Jace Caldwell’s scar burned, a jagged pulse searing his chest as NexTech’s neon-lit city trembled, the void-core—a massive, pulsing machine etched with the company’s logo—roaring at its heart. His mirror-self stood before it, eyes black, scar blazing, voice a twisted echo of his own: “You’re not the heart. I am.” Ethan’s ash lingered under Jace’s nails, his brother’s final scream—The Void’s in you—clawing at his mind. Aria, the young Marked girl, screamed, a gold Obsidian Heart forming in her trembling hands, its pulse wild, like a star fracturing. Lena Voss gripped Jace’s arm, her eyes human again, tears cutting through blood-streaked grime, her rune-etched dagger discarded but her betrayal still raw. Selene lay slumped, her final Heart dim, blood pooling from her scar. Victor Kane’s void-black form—face splitting, eyes multiplying—loomed, his laughter a chorus of shadows. The air stung with the reek of molten steel and something sour, like betrayal baked into bone. Jace’s Glock
The Heart Of Void
Jace Caldwell’s scar burned, a jagged pulse tearing through his chest as the shadow city’s plaza vanished, the portal’s red light spitting him into a real city—NexTech’s gleaming metropolis, all steel spires and neon veins, pulsing like the Obsidian Hearts. Ethan stood before him, unchained, his black eyes glinting, clutching a new Heart blacker than night, its pulse a low thrum, like a storm trapped in stone. Victor Kane loomed, his face splitting, void-black eyes multiplying, his voice a chorus of shadows: “The Void’s awake, and you’re its heart.” Lena Voss staggered beside Jace, her eyes human again, tears cutting through blood, her rune-etched dagger trembling in her hand, the new Heart’s glow dim. Aria, the young Marked girl, clung to a shattered pillar, her red eyes streaming, the fourth Heart’s shards scattered at her feet. Selene lay slumped, her final Heart pulsing weakly, blood pooling from her scar. The air reeked of ozone and something rancid, like dreams burned to ash
