ECHOES OF THE REVELATION
Maya’s voice trembled as she glared at Zerath, her wrists bound tightly in the glowing chains that burned against her skin.“I don’t believe you, monster. The last time I remembered, I got this curse during the serpent battle in the forest nights ago,” she said, her tone filled with anger and confusion.Zerath tilted his head back and laughed, his voice echoing through the temple walls. “A curse? That’s what you think it was?” he sneered, his red eyes glinting with amusement. “That was merely a scheme Seraphel crafted to deceive you. But one thing you should know, little serpent— the Queen of Venom’s soul was reborn in you the day Narlok’s soul was sealed within your companion by his mother.”Maya froze, her breath caught in her throat. Her eyes darted to Arden, who was kneeling, his body shaking violently as he fought the demon within. His veins darkened, and the ground beneath him pulsed with dark energy.Lina’s voice trembled as she looked between them. “What are you talking abou
WHEN DARKNESS RECOGNIZED HIS OWN
Moments later, they stepped into the ancient temple, the air shifted thick, heavy, and humming with energy that made every breath feel like smoke. The captors pushed Arden, Lina, and Maya forward until they fell to their knees. Chains made from glowing runes wrapped around their wrists and ankles, binding them tightly to the cold stone floor.The faint light from the torches flickered as if struggling to stay alive. Strange markings pulsed on the walls, whispering in a forgotten tongue. The deeper they went, the more Arden’s body began to tremble. His heartbeat quickened, and the color in his eyes darkened.Lina, bound beside him, turned her head toward him and asked softly, "Arden, what’s happening to you?"He didn’t respond. His breathing grew ragged, and his fingers dug into the ground as if trying to fight something inside. A voice low and monstrous echoed from deep within him."Arden," the voice growled, "he’s here, the one who hunted me long ago."Maya glanced between them, h
THE SHATTERED BOND
The morning sun barely rose over the fog-covered hills when Arden slowly opened his eyes. His body ached from exhaustion, but what truly froze him was the sight before him.Dozens of masked captors stood in a circle around them, their faces hidden behind black veils, weapons pointed directly at the four companions.“Wha—what’s going on?” Lina gasped, sitting up quickly. But before she could move, a blade was already at her throat.Duke clenched his fists, his usual calm replaced by anger. “Damn it… they caught us off guard.”Arden’s sword and dagger were gone. He looked to his side and saw all their weapons piled together in a heap at the captors’ feet. His heart pounded as he realized how outnumbered they were.Maya’s eyes darted around. “There are too many of them,” she whispered under her breath. “At least thirty…”One of the captors stepped forward. His mask was different—painted crimson. He seemed to be their leader.“Awake already?” the man said with a cold smirk in his voic
BEFORE THE STORM
In Eldervale village, the golden rays of dusk bathed the small huts in a gentle glow. Inside one of them, Shina, Arden’s mother, sat by the fire weaving a mat. The quiet crackle of the flames filled the room while her two daughters, Fira and Leina, sat beside her.Fira glanced up at her mother with worried eyes. “Mother, do you think brother Arden is safe out there?”Shina’s hands paused mid-weave. She looked at the flickering flame before replying softly, “Your brother has always been strong, my dear. Wherever he is, the spirits are surely guiding him.”Leina frowned as she hugged her knees. “But it’s been moons since he left. What if he doesn’t come back?”Shina reached over and gently brushed a strand of hair from her youngest daughter’s face. “Arden made a promise to us, remember? He said he would return once his purpose was fulfilled. I believe in that promise.”The fire crackled louder, filling the silence that followed. Outside, the wind whispered through the tall trees, ca
SHADOWS IN THE MIST
The realm of the Watchers was vast and shrouded in golden mist. Ancient pillars stood tall around a massive circular table made of glowing stone, and seated upon it were the beings who had been observing the balance of worlds for centuries. Their eyes gleamed like stars, and their voices echoed softly like whispers carried through time.One of the elder Watchers, his robes flowing like smoke, spoke first. “The balance trembles once again. The vessel that carries the cursed soul has awakened his power sooner than we expected.”Another leaned forward, her tone calm but firm. “You mean the boy from Eldervale—the one harboring the soul of Narlok, the Demon King?”“Yes,” the elder replied. “The one called Arden. His actions in Virelia did not go unnoticed. The demon within him stirred, and its presence was felt across the realms.”A deep voice came from the far end of the table. “I warned this council long ago that sealing Narlok’s soul in a mortal vessel was dangerous. Now the seal is
THE FRIENDSHIP SONG
The night was quiet, the air still and heavy with unease. The soft crackle of the dying campfire flickered against the shadows of the forest. Everyone was asleep, except Maya. She sat alone, trembling slightly as she gripped her head, her breath uneven. Her eyes glowed faintly green, and the faint trace of serpent-like scales crept across her cheek. Inside her mind, the ancient serpent hissed, “You can’t hide it anymore, Maya. I live within you. You and I are one.” Maya whispered through clenched teeth, “No… stop bothering me .” Her body tensed, her hands digging into the ground. The serpent’s voice grew darker. “You’ve already begun to change. Your jealousy, your pain… It feeds me. You crave Arden’s attention, don’t you?” Maya’s face twisted in frustration. “Shut up!” she muttered, her voice shaking. Arden, who was nearby, stirred from his sleep. He noticed the faint glow and the strange sound of Maya’s voice. Concerned, he stood and walked quietly toward her. “Maya?” he
