Music Above the Dungeon
Torredorm Palace became busiest in the hours before sunset. While the underground cells remained cold and dim, kitchens above them filled with steam, servants carried wine jars and lacquered trays through long corridors, and musicians repeated the same ceremonial passages until every transition matched the order expected by the royal household.The contrast between the palace and the city outside was difficult to ignore. Food enough to feed several streets was being prepared for one evening, yet servants still spoke carefully whenever King Monorch’s name entered the conversation. Fine carpets and bright lanterns could hide poverty from a banquet guest, but they could not hide fear from people who worked under the same roof every day.Near the kitchens, one young servant nearly dropped a tray when a supervisor called her name. An older woman caught the edge before the cups fell and whispered that a broken cup would cost more than wages
The Prisoner Who Chose His Cell
Torredorm looked prosperous at night. Rows of lamps illuminated crowded streets, merchant stalls remained open after sunset, and music drifted from inns near the outer districts, creating an impression of wealth that did not match the fear Xathanael had already noticed among Vellenor soldiers.He descended outside the walls rather than flying directly toward the palace. The energy signal he had followed remained intermittent, and entering as an obvious Banxiang would attract attention before he understood where it came from, while walking through the city offered information that speed could not.Ten Vellenor guards stood near the main gate when he approached. One stepped forward, raised a hand, and announced that entry required inspection before asking why a foreign traveler had come to Torredorm.Xathanael said that he wanted to enter the city and look around, then asked for the proper entry fee. The question should ha
Two Soldiers and the White Traveler
The soldiers of Vellenor had been training since morning beneath the heat of Windy Desert. Their commanders demanded longer marches, heavier equipment, and repeated formation drills, standards that many human troops privately believed had been designed for the stronger physiques of Thessul soldiers rather than ordinary men.Complaints were dangerous, so most resentment appeared only during short breaks. Youdon and Wangdue had found shade beneath a date palm far enough from their officers to speak without being overheard, though both still watched the training field whenever a commander’s whistle sounded.Youdon wiped sweat from his forehead and looked at Wangdue’s water bottle. “You still have some left, don’t you? Give me a little.”Wangdue pulled the bottle closer and reminded him that everyone had known they would be training in the desert. When Youdon admitted that he had misjudged how m
The Angel Above Twenty Continents
Xathanael guided Pegasus closer to the Blue Planet until the world below no longer looked like a distant sphere of light. Oceans spread between wide continental masses, cloud systems moved over mountain ranges, and the number of visible landmasses immediately complicated the mission he had expected to be straightforward.From the records he received before leaving Shi Xang Prefecture, he knew that Azazel had once carried something important into this lower world. What he had not been given was a precise continent, kingdom, or city, and the sight below made that omission far more troublesome than it had seemed in the upper realm.“There are more than twenty continents,” Xathanael said as his gaze moved from one landmass to another. “Searching them one by one would waste an absurd amount of time.”Pegasus continued forward, but its luminous stride had lost some of the effortless rhythm it carried ea
The Star Everyone Stopped Watching
Guo Jiang's spirit ship left Hyenan before the afternoon light had faded. Deng Yun remained at the gate until the vessel became a small shape above the southern horizon, then returned to the inner halls with the Platinum-ranked palm legacy still secured in both hands.He entered closed-door cultivation soon afterward. Before sealing himself away, he ordered the elders to reorganize training schedules, restrict access to the new inheritance, and record every disciple allowed to study its foundations.Silver Moon Sect changed gradually rather than overnight. Inner disciples were required to guide outer disciples through the basic stances, while elders compared the new palm method with the sect's older techniques so that mistakes would not be passed down as tradition.Rumors spread across Hyenan anyway. Some claimed Guo Jiang had granted Silver Moon Sect direct Banxiang protection, while others insisted Deng Yun had obtaine
A Debt Paid With a Palm Legacy
Guo Jiang landed in the main courtyard and walked toward Deng Yun without releasing any additional pressure. Even so, several Silver Moon disciples instinctively knelt again, while others followed because they were uncertain what etiquette a small sect should observe before a genuine Banxiang.Deng Yun stepped forward before the movement spread too far. He clasped his hands and bowed formally, introducing himself as Sect Master of Silver Moon Sect. His voice remained respectful but steadier now that the impostor had been exposed and the danger had passed."I would like to speak with you privately," Guo Jiang said. Deng Yun agreed at once and led him through the inner courtyard into a modest study that reflected Silver Moon Sect more honestly than any public hall could.The room contained sect ledgers, training scrolls, old maps, and several repaired chairs. Nothing suggested luxury, and the furnishings belonged to a fact
