114 - I Hate Tomb Raiding
Sora followed. Sprinting. The sand trying to slow her down. The heat making her lungs burn.They reached the entrance. Sixty seconds left. Harrison threw the rope inside. Anchored it. Started descending.Sora followed. Forty seconds. Down into darkness. Into cool air. Into stone that hadn't seen sunlight in millennia.Twenty seconds. They were inside. Deep enough. Safe.The entrance sealed. Stone grinding. Light disappearing. Darkness complete.Then their lights turned on. LED. Bright. Showing them where they were.A tunnel. Carved. Perfect. Leading down. Hieroglyphics everywhere. Gold inlaid. Beautiful. Terrifying."We're committed now," Harrison said. "No turning back. The entrance won't open again for twenty-four hours. We're here until we find the Solar Heart or die trying.""Cheerful," Sora said. But she wasn't scared. Was she? No. Excited maybe. Nervous definitely. But not scared. This was what she'd trained for. What Mr. Vale had prepared her for. "Let's move. Carefully. Watch
113 - Egypt—Valley of Kings
Fourteen hours earlier. Cairo International Airport.Sora stepped off the plane into heat that made Iceland look like paradise. Dry. Oppressive. The kind that made breathing feel like work."This is disgusting," she said. Pulling off her jacket immediately. "How do people live here?""It's winter," Harrison said. Walking past her. Unbothered. "This is the cool season. Summer gets much worse.""Cool season. Right. Because ninety degrees is totally cool." Sora followed him through the airport. Busy. Chaotic. Very different from Iceland's minimalism. "Remind me why I agreed to Egypt again?""Because someone had to. And you're the CEO. Leadership means doing the hard jobs." Harrison checked his tablet. "Car's waiting. We head straight for the Valley of the Kings. No delays. No tourism. Just the mission."They collected their bags. Went through customs. Everything smooth. Everything arranged. Titan's connections worked everywhere. Even Egypt.The car was waiting. Black SUV. Air conditioned
112 - The End's Beginning
Magnus's expression was grim. Haunted. "It says: 'The prison weakens. The seven keys gather. The sleepers wake. The end begins.'" Silence. Just the sound of breathing. Of hearts beating. Of the world waiting. "The Council," Lin whispered. "They're not waiting to be summoned. They're already breaking free." "Exactly." Magnus looked at her. At Jake. "This tablet is a message. A warning. Or a threat. I don't know which. But it means everything we thought about the Hearts is wrong. They're not just prison keys. They're anchors. And the prison is failing. Deteriorating. Breaking down." Jake felt cold. Not from the temperature. From understanding. From realizing what this meant. "How long?" he asked. "How long until the prison breaks completely?" "I don't know. The tablet doesn't say. Could be days. Could be weeks. Could be years." Magnus turned the tablet slightly. More symbols appeared. Glowing faintly. "But Marguerite knew. She looked at this and smiled. Said we have less time than
111 - Writings On The Stone Tablet
"Magnus. We need to talk." "I'm sure you do. About the Storm Heart. About the Council. About the end of the world." The voice sounded amused. Tired. "And you brought company. The Dragon's Heart wielder. I felt you land in my country. Felt your power from three hundred kilometers away. Like a bonfire in the darkness." Jake felt exposed. Watched. Magnus had been tracking him since the plane landed. Sensing his Hearts. Monitoring his presence. The gate opened. Slow. Heavy. Metal grinding against stone. A man stood beyond it. Massive didn't cover it. He was huge. Six-foot-nine at least. Built like a bear. Shoulders that could carry mountains. Gray beard. Long hair pulled back. Eyes like ice. Literally like ice. Pale blue. Cold. Seeing everything. Around his neck hung a pendant. Silver. Crackling with electricity. The Storm Heart. Jake could feel it from here. Power radiating. Dangerous. Alive. "Com
110 - Iceland—The Storm Awaits
Ground level. Still at the airfield. Watching.Derek Mitchell stood in the shadows. Far enough away to avoid detection. Close enough to see everything.Three planes. Three different directions. The team splitting up exactly as Marguerite predicted.He pulled out his phone. Encrypted line. Called Paris.Marguerite answered immediately. "Well?""They're splitting up. Morrison to Iceland with the Chinese woman. Chen to Egypt with her security chief. Brooks to China alone." Derek watched the planes. One already gone. Two taxiing. "Just like you said they would."Marguerite laughed. Cold. Pleased. Victorious. "Perfect. Absolutely perfect. While they're scattered across the world chasing Hearts, we move. We attack Titan directly.""Attack how? The building's a fortress. Security everywhere. Armed guards. Surveillance.""None of that matters when the leadership is gone. When the strongest defenders are on different continents. When the person we really want is alone. Vulnerable. Unprotected.
109 - The Spilt
He boarded the plane. Sat down. Buckled in.Lin sat across from him. "First time being kissed by your boss?""First time being kissed by anyone in months. Years maybe. I don't know. My life's been complicated.""Clearly." Lin pulled out her fragment. Held it. The green stone pulsing faintly. "But focus. We're going to Iceland. To find a corrupted Heart. To stop this Marguerite. To prevent the apocalypse. Your love life can wait.""Right. Focus. Iceland. Storm Heart. Apocalypse prevention." Jake took a breath. Centered himself. "What exactly are we walking into? You said the Storm Heart feels corrupted. What does that mean?"Lin's expression darkened. "Hearts have a specific energy signature. Clean. Pure. Powerful. The Storm Heart in Iceland. It doesn't feel that way anymore. It feels twisted. Wrong. Like someone's been interfering with it. Changing it. Corrupting it.""Corrupting it how?""I don't know. But whatever they've done, it's bad. Really bad. The energy feels sick. Diseased.
