Chapter 20: I’m Not Dead Yet
The blue words kept flashing rewards but he barely saw them at all. His focus was entirely on the next target. The next threat to eliminate.The vampire who'd thrown Seraphina against the wall tried to escape into the shadows and disappear.Aurelius was faster than shadows.He caught the vampire's ankle and dragged him back across the ground. The vampire clawed at the dirt desperately but couldn't break free from his grip."Wait," the vampire said with fear clear in his voice for the first time. "We can—"Aurelius stomped on his head hard.The vampire's skull cracked against stone with a wet crunch. He tried to heal using his regeneration, but Aurelius stomped again. And again. Until there was nothing left but pulp and bone fragments.[PERSONAL KILL CONFIRMED]The lead vampire watched her forces getting torn apart like paper and how Aurelius moved through demons like they were nothing but obstacles in his way.She was fast and experienced and had fought countless battles.But when she
Chapter 19: Take The Fairy Alive
The words flashed blue in Aurelius's vision with cold clinical precision. They measured his failure like a merchant counting losses in a ledger.Something cracked inside his chest at seeing those words. Not physical pain but something deeper than that.But he couldn't mourn or even process what happened because the fight was still raging around him.Seraphina appeared behind another vampire with deadly grace. Her daggers flashed as she cut across his back and neck in one smooth motion that should have killed him. Blood sprayed from the wounds and the vampire staggered forward from the impact.She looked amazing in that moment. Fast and deadly and perfectly trained. Every movement was economical and precise.The vampire turned to face her despite the blood running down his back. He was still smiling even with his flesh torn open."Impressive," he said in a voice that sounded genuinely appreciative.Then he moved faster than human eyes could track.He was so fast that Seraphina barely re
Chapter 18: Blood on the Border Road
The battle erupted across the narrow pass as the demons attacked from multiple directions at once.Aurelius's combat instincts took over immediately despite the chaos and his bleeding shoulder."Garrett, secure Lyanna!" he shouted while dodging another claw swipe. "Thomas, high ground! Roland and Bradley, left flank! Joseph and Philip, rear! Seraphina, shadows! William, keep James moving!"His knights moved instantly despite the shock of facing supernatural enemies. Training overrode fear as they formed a defensive half-circle around the broken wagon and the supplies they couldn't afford to lose.Thomas scrambled onto the tilted wagon frame and nocked an arrow with steady hands. Roland and Bradley raised their shields together and braced for impact. Garrett pulled Lyanna behind him while she shook with terror at the creatures surrounding them.Seraphina moved into the shadow of the rocks without a word, already planning her strikes.The three vampires stood back from the main fight and
Chapter 17: The Road To Shadows III
Enhanced reflexes let him move while the bandits were distracted. He threw his dagger with inhuman speed and accuracy. The blade buried itself in the leader's throat before the man could shout a warning. Blood sprayed across the fallen leaves as he dropped his crossbow and clutched his ruined neck gurgling as he fell. The other bandits panicked. Some tried to shoot while others dove for cover. Their wild shots went wide as Aurelius's knights attacked from multiple directions. Garrett's sword found a bandit's heart while Thomas strangled another with his bare hands. William limped forward on his wounded leg but still managed to drive his blade through an enemy's ribs. His enhanced speed let Aurelius dodge crossbow bolts that should have killed him. He moved like a ghost between the trees, his sword finding throats and hearts with perfect precision. The last bandit tried to grab Lyanna as a hostage. His dirty hands reached for her hair while he pressed a knife to her throat.
Chapter 16: The Road To Shadow II
Aurelius glanced at her surprised. "What's that supposed to mean?" "Nothing," Seraphina replied with false sweetness. "Just noting how much she adores you. Must be nice having someone look at you like you're perfect." The comment stung because it came out of nowhere. Aurelius frowned but kept walking. A few minutes later, when Lyanna stumbled again slightly on the uneven path, Aurelius steadied her with a hand on her arm. "Careful," he said. "So protective," Seraphina muttered under her breath. "Such a gentleman." "Is there a problem?" Aurelius finally asked as it was apparent, something was wrong somewhere. "Problem? Why would there be a problem?" Seraphina's smile was razor-sharp. "You saved the innocent fairy. You're the hero. Everyone thinks you're wonderful." The knights exchanged glances. They could feel the tension building but weren't sure why. "What's this really about?" Aurelius asked, stopping in the middle of the path. Seraphina stopped too, crossing her arms. "
Chapter 15: The Road to Shadows
The sun climbed higher while they packed their stolen wealth into rough sacks. Five hundred gold dragons made a heavy load even split between eight men. The enchanted weapons added more weight to their burdens. "We need rest before we move," Sir Garrett said. Dark circles shadowed his eyes from the sleepless night. "Half of us can barely stand." Aurelius looked at his knights. They'd been fighting and running for two straight days. Sir Thomas swayed on his feet despite the healing potion. Sir William's face was pale with exhaustion. "Two hours," he decided. "We sleep in shifts. Four men on watch, four resting." They found corners in the broken warehouse where they could lie down on moldy sacks and cracked wooden crates. It wasn't comfortable but it was better than falling over from exhaustion. Seraphina curled up near Lyanna like a protective sister. The fairy sat with her back against the wall, too afraid to sleep. Every little sound she heard made her jump. "It's safe," S
