The Root Stirs

The earth beneath Tan screamed.

Roots older than kingdoms twisted and cracked in the dark. Rivers of molten stone pulsed like veins. In the heart of the abyss, Cellok stirred, the sacred root where all Liroids were born, where shadows breathed, and where gods once knelt.

Here, deep beyond mortal reach, the Queen of Shadows waited.

Evilside sat upon a throne woven from the veins of the earth, her form both woman and storm. Shadows rippled from her fingertips, her hair drifting like black smoke across the void. Her eyes, two mirrors of endless night, were fixed upon the pulsing light that had begun to rise from the deepest roots.

The glow was pale gold, steady, patient, older than the dark itself.

A voice came from within it, soft yet echoing through eternity.

“Evilside… did you think I would sleep forever?”

Evilside rose slowly. “You were buried by the choice of the gods. The age of light ended when your kind betrayed the balance.”

He had the nerve to invade her sanctum using Cirax. Ta

  • THE DEVOURER BREAKS — DRAGON AND FRY AT FULL FURY

    The Devourer was no longer fighting; it was surviving.Fry slammed its molten body into the massive beast, melting its armor-like hide.Dragon leapt from Fry’s back, using the monster’s horns as footholds, flipping mid-air, and driving a flaming spear into the Devourer’s spine.The monster shrieked, a sound that split mountains.Fry’s tail wrapped around the Devourer’s jaw, forcing its maw open.Dragon landed beside his beast, holding the Devourer’s head down.“Come on, Fry. LUNCH.”Fry inhaled, the air burned, then exhaled a column of molten crimson flame.The Devourer thrashed, bones liquefying, claws melting, entire limbs dropping off like sand.Dragon wiped his cheek with the back of his hand, breathing hard.“Snake better be winning his fight. If he dies before I gloat, I’ll resurrect him just to slap him.”SNAKE VS. VERATH — THE END OF A SHADEVerath staggered, its body collapsing into black shards of smoke.Snake’s blades dripped with glowing venom.His serpent spirit wrapped a

  • THE DEVOURER.

    Back. Alive. Hungry.The same monster that once nearly killed Snake centuries ago.The war shifted instantly.SNAKE’S COMMAND TURNS SAVAGESnake stood, sword glowing with poison.His voice carried across the entire field.“Hunting Dogs…RELEASE.DIVINE LIROIDS, HOLD UNTIL MY SIGNAL.WARRIORS, FALL BACK TO THE SERPENT WALL.ASSASSINS, FLANK THE SHADE.And Dragon…The Devourer is yours until I come.”Dragon grinned like a beast reborn.“Finally.”He leaped toward the monster that had once nearly ended Snake’s life.And the battlefield exploded anew.TAN PREPARES TO DESCENDDeep in the molten heart of Mogro Palace, the air trembled.The black pillars cracked, dripping molten gold.The walls pulsed with fury.Tan sat on his throne, a throne carved from the bones of gods long dead, breathing like a storm trapped in human shape.His skin flickered between molten and shadow, veins glowing like lava rivers.His eyes were pits of red flame.Aliya knelt far from him, trembling.Trina stood at hi

  • SNAKE — THE COMMANDER AWAKENS

    Snake stepped out of the armory wearing his serpent armor, the legendary suit the world had not seen in centuries. The black scales shimmered with molten silver, crawling with runes of venom and prophecy. Every liroid present felt their breath tighten.He no longer looked like the quiet, brooding serpent.He looked like war.When he climbed the stone platform, the entire valley fell silent.Snake lifted his voice, not loud, but cutting through the air like a blade.“I know many of you think I am not worthy to command you.”A ripple spread across the army, thousands strong.Snake continued, lips twitching with a dark humor:“Yes… You’re right.I am younger than most of you, and I’ll admit…I bite my tongue before spitting a command at Irinrod.”Laughter rolled through the camp, and even Irinrod smirked.Then Snake’s tone dropped, deep and raw.“But I must say this…I am truly sorry.My mistake… brought us here.”Silence again.Snake’s voice cracked, once.“All I ask is that you fight…

  • TRINA’S PRIVATE CRISIS — THE COLLAPSE OF A MISSION

    Trina sat alone in the dim corridors of Mogro’s palace, the smell of burnt incense thick around her.Her hands shook.She knew Snake better than anyone.She had lived in his home, his bed, his shadow, his silence; she had learned every scar on his body, every nuance in his gaze.And she knew one absolute truth:He will kill me.He loved me once, but now that Shiver is dead…Snake will not hesitate.When the messenger raven brought word that Evilside had declared him Commander of the Liroids for the War of Tan, Trina’s stomach dropped.Snake with grief was deadly.Snake with purpose was unstoppable.Snake with both?Tan is mad to think anyone can stand against that.Yet Tan ordered her to strike him.She couldn’t decide which fate was worse:Being killed by Snake’s hand, or living forever cursed under Tan’s.Her mother, Aliya, whispered to her in the night:“You have a choice to make, my daughter.Obedience…or survival.”Trina felt the walls close in.THE WAR COUNCIL — SNAKE’S CLAIM AN

  • THE DESCENT OF THE GODS — THE VALLEY OF CELLOK SHAKES

    The ground of Cellok trembled as beams of gold, blue, red, and silver light tore open the horizon.The Old Gods descended.Any other race would have fallen to their knees.But the Liroids…They only glanced up.Then went back to what they were doing.It was so typical of the Liroids that even the gods exchanged looks.Cion, Cirax’s son and husband to Love Liroid, daughter of Blood, stepped forward and bowed politely.“Welcome,” he said, as if greeting travellers on market day.Artes, god of fertile lands, grunted.“It is so like the Liroids to see us as nothing.”Before he finished, Carnage, Rage’s niece and daughter of Chaos, strode up, waving at Moon, the god of night and day.“Welcome, Father-in-law. Your face is one I am actually glad to see today.”Moon smiled.“I am happy to be of help.”Blood Liroid bowed to Cirax, but Armageddon, son-in-law of Ilia and brother to Rage’s line, scoffed loudly.“It is so like the Old Gods to come down from their fancy palaces only when it suits t

  • TRINA’S BREAKING POINT — WHEN SHE REALIZES SNAKE IS COMING FOR HER

    The torches in Tan’s harem flickered violently, though no wind touched them.The air felt heavier, like the moment before a storm breaks.Trina sat on the cold marble floor, her hands shaking.For the first time in centuries, she could not mask the fear clawing at her chest.She whispered, voice cracked:“He’s coming… Mama… he’s really coming for me.”Her mother, Aliya, knelt beside her and cupped her face gently.“Everyone has burdens to carry, my child,” Aliya murmured.“And yours… yours is the love you found in the wrong heart.”Trina pressed her forehead to her knees and sobbed silently.“I loved him… I loved him, and I ruined him.I ruined everything.”Aliya stroked her hair.“And now you pay the price for Tan’s ambitions, not your own.”Trina lifted her head, eyes swollen, haunted, hollow.“He won’t forgive me this time…Snake… he will kill me.”Aliya swallowed hard.“Then run. Escape before Tan uses you again.”But Trina shook her head violently.“I cannot run. Tan will find me
