Chapter 246
As they got closer, the source of the light slowly revealed itself from the shadows. In the exact dead center of the massive, pristine room, something was floating in the air. It did not touch the floor. It did not touch the ceiling. It hovered perfectly still, suspended by an invisible, silent magnetic force. It was a massive, geometric crystal matrix. It was the size of a large house. It was not a single, solid rock. It was made of thousands of perfectly cut, floating shapes. There were sharp triangles, perfect squares, and smooth, flat diamonds made of pure, clear blue crystal. The geometric shapes were not connected to each other. They floated a few inches apart, forming a giant, complex, three-dimensional puzzle. The entire massive structure was moving. The thousands of crystal shapes spun very, very slowly in the air. They rotated around each other in perfect, silent harmony. They did not grind. They did not click. They moved with absolute, flawless mathematical precision
Chapter 245
Elara raised her left hand. It was the hand she had cut on the sharp needles of the blood-lock. The dirty cloth bandage was soaked with her own red blood. She reached her bloody hand out toward the buzzing red magical barrier. The moment her royal blood came close to the red light, the ancient machine reacted. The red laser grid flickered. The aggressive, angry buzzing sound stopped. The dark red magic split perfectly in half, opening like a giant curtain. The barrier pulled back, leaving a wide, clear, safe path for them to walk through. The Mother of Light smiled. It was a soft, beautiful, peaceful smile. She bowed her head slightly to Elara and Frank, showing her deep respect. Then, the silver woman stepped to the side, allowing them to pass. "Come on," Elara whispered, dragging Frank forward. They crossed the threshold. They stepped out of the massive, ruined temple, and they walked directly into the inner chamber of the vault. The very second their boots hit the floor insi
Chapter 244
The cold, black stone floor of the ancient temple was covered in blood, gray dust, and melted gold. Frank Williams knelt on the hard ground. His arms were wrapped tightly around Princess Elara. He buried his dirty, tear-stained face into her shoulder. He wept loudly. He cried until his throat was completely raw. He cried out all the fear, all the guilt, and all the terrible pain he had held inside his heart for the last few days. Elara held him just as tightly. She gently rubbed his back. She rested her cheek against his messy brown hair. She did not say a word. She just let him cry. She knew he needed to let the darkness out. Slowly, the violent shaking in Frank’s shoulders began to stop. His loud sobs turned into quiet, ragged breaths. He was completely exhausted. He was drained of every single drop of physical and magical energy. His body was a broken, ruined shell. "I have you," Elara whispered softly in his ear. "I am right here."Frank slowly lifted his head. His pale blue

Frank listened to the voice. It sounded so warm. It sounded like a tiny, beautiful fire burning in the freezing dark. He did not remember whose voice it was. He did not remember the girl’s face. But he knew, with every single broken piece of his soul, that the voice loved him. He knew that the voice was safe. "Come back to me, Frank," the voice pleaded. The name hit him like a lightning bolt. “Frank.”That was his name. He was Frank Williams. He was a boy from the streets of Lyrendale. The dark, empty space in his brain began to crack. The memories rushed back in like a massive, crashing tidal wave. He remembered the rain. He remembered the cold alleys. He remembered the taste of stale bread. He remembered finding the glowing bottle. He remembered the giant monsters, the acid rain, and the terrified refugees. And then, he remembered her. He remembered her pale, beautiful eyes. He remembered her chipped royal steel dagger. He remembered her slapping him in the face to keep him
Chapter 242
Elara gasped softly. She understood. When she had pushed her hand onto the sharp needles of the blood-lock, the ancient machine had recognized her DNA. She was a direct descendant of the First Kings who built the System. Her royal blood was the ultimate master key. Her biological life-force was the very foundation of the magic. If Frank was overloaded with wild, toxic magical electricity... she just needed to act as a physical ground wire to short-circuit his corrupted System. But to do that, she had to touch him. She had to touch the very core of his magic while he was fully powered. It would burn her. It might kill her. Elara looked up at the massive, falling golden fist. The heavy, crackling arm of pure kinetic energy swung down. It moved with the speed of a falling meteor. It carried enough force to shatter solid steel. It was aiming straight for her head. Elara did not block. She did not duck. She did not raise her arms to protect her face. Instead, she stepped in. She lun
Chapter 241
The wall of wind hit Kael like a speeding boulder. The giant man was lifted completely off his feet. He flew backward through the hot air and crashed heavily against a thick stone pillar. Kael dropped his metal pipe and slid down to the floor, completely unconscious. The refugees screamed in absolute terror. They scrambled further back into the dark corners of the temple, hiding behind the terrifying statues, pressing their hands over their ears. Frank slowly turned his body back toward Elara. Elara was completely trapped. She was kneeling on the floor, leaning against the cold black metal of the vault doors. She was so incredibly weak. She had lost too much blood when she pushed her hand onto the sharp needles of the blood-lock. Her skin was as pale as white paper. She was incredibly dizzy. Frank hovered toward her. He moved with a stiff, jerky, robotic rhythm. He looked exactly like a machine executing a deadly computer program. The giant, crackling golden fist was raised high
