Elena playful expression returned, although the tension around her eyes remained. "Both of us? You're becoming greedy, Scott."

"Would you prefer that I change my mind and take you first?"

She pressed her lips together, then shook her head. "No, thank you. I think I'll remain quiet for now."

"That would be a first," Kael muttered.

Elena elbowed him in the side. "Nobody asked you."

Scott turned his attention to the bracelet around Aurelius's wrist and pointed at it. "Remove that thing from the ki

  • Elena Faces Scott’s Wrath

    Elena stared at the magic circle, then at the man sitting beside Scott. Her throat tightened when she noticed the markings on his body. Broad tattoos covered parts of his skin, glowing yellow beneath his clothing and spreading across his arms in patterns that looked disturbingly familiar. She had seen those same markings before, on Sarah's body, and the sight brought back memories she would rather not revisit.It was a Founder.The realisation sent a wave of fear through her, and for a moment, she could not bring herself to move. She had entered this world expecting to find Scott trapped inside a memory, but now she was standing behind one of the very beings she had been trying to avoid. The man was powerful enough to restrain Scott with a magic formation, and Elena had no idea what he would do if he discovered her presence.Scott's eyes remained fixed on her.His lips moved silently, pleading with her to hurry, but he made no sound. He knew that if the Founder realized another person

  • Elena’s Dangerous Rescue

    'Dammit! How am I supposed to unlock this thing?"Elena glared at the snake bracelet coiled around her wrist, her frustration mounting as she tried again to pull it off. She had spent several minutes looking for a way to unlock the enchanted object but had failed each time. Even Scott's twin daggers, which she had taken from where he had left them, could not cut through the bracelet. She pressed one of the blades against the metal-like surface and applied more force, hoping to break it, but the dagger simply slid away without leaving even a scratch. "What the hell is this thing made of?" she muttered, lowering the weapon before examining the bracelet again.She twisted it, pulled at it, and even tried to force one of its narrow sections apart, but nothing worked. The bracelet gleamed in the light, snug around her wrist. Elena bit her lips; she looked over at Scott, still lying motionless on the bed. He had not regained consciousness, and sweat had begun to cover his face and neck, dam

  • Trapped in the Founders’ World 02

    "What..."His voice came out strained as he struggled to breathe. He kicked his legs, attempting to gain leverage, but the man holding him remained completely still. Scott tried to twist his body and break free, yet his opponent's grip tightened, forcing him to abandon the attempt before he damaged his own neck.Then he felt it.That aura.Scott's struggling slowed for a fraction of a second as recognition struck him. He had felt this same oppressive presence before, in the vision where he had encountered the strange cave men who looked at him as though he were nothing more than an object. He remembered their eyes, their terrifying strength, and the way they had referred to him with a single word.A host.The memory sent a chill through him.Slowly, Scott raised his eyes toward the person holding him. The man was taller than him, with a face that showed no surprise at having caught an intruder. His expression was calm, almost curious, as though he had discovered something unexpected b

  • Trapped in the Founders’ World

    Scott expected to see the world he knew on the other side of the golden door, perhaps another part of Aetherion or a place that looked like the world he had known before he became a summoner. But, as soon as he stepped through the door, he froze, gazing at a sight his brain had trouble processing. Nothing he had seen looked like Earth and the longer he looked, the more he realised he had come into a world that was unlike anything he had ever imagined.There was no blue sky stretching above him, no clouds drifting in the distance, and no familiar sun illuminating the land. Instead, there was an infinite sky of darkness, full of immense planets drifting in the distance. Some were so close that Scott could see their surfaces, with towering mountain ranges, deep valleys and swirling clouds surrounding them. Some were little more than glowing spheres scattered across the vastness, their different colours illuminating parts of the strange world below. One world was a deep red, another a pal

  • Beyond the Golden Door

    Scott.White's voice cut through his thoughts, sharp enough to pull his attention away from Elena.Remember that Ricard is going to return. After everything you've learned about him, do you really think he'll come back to congratulate you for defeating him?Scott's gaze lifted from Elena's body.He won't hesitate to use the people you love most to break you. Don't let her body deceive you into forgetting what's important.The words struck him harder than he expected. The heat clouding his thoughts began to fade as the image of Ricard returned to his mind, along with the danger that still hung over everyone he cared about. Ricard had lost, but Scott knew better than to assume that defeat meant the end of the threat. A man who had spent so long chasing power and immortality would not simply accept his failure and disappear.Scott's jaw tightened, and he immediately released Elena's neck before pushing himself away from her. He sat back, drawing a controlled breath as he forced his atten

  • Scott’s Moment of Weakness

    For a moment, Scott found himself unable to answer. Diana's question hung between them, and the look in her eyes made it clear that she was waiting for a response. He had expected her to argue with Elena, threaten her, or perhaps insist on staying in his chambers, but he had never expected her to ask him so directly whether he felt anything for her. His lips parted slightly, yet before he could form an answer, another voice interrupted the silence."Scott, Diana, Father is calling for you." Kol stood at the entrance, his gaze moving between them before settling on Diana. He then turned his head toward Derek. "You too, Derek. Father wants to see you as well."Diana barely seemed to hear him. Her eyes remained fixed on Scott's face, searching for the answer he had not yet given her. "I'll be there," she replied, but she made no move to leave. Scott looked at her, his expression unreadable, and she took a small step toward him as though she wanted to give him another chance to speak. "Sc
