When Janelle stepped through the door with Owen trailing behind her, she looked like she'd left a part of herself back at Ian's mansion.

Killian noticed it instantly, he wasn't smiling, not even pretending to.

Her eyes were dim, and the spark she usually carried had dulled to a quiet ache.

Killian stood from the couch where he'd been waiting, concern etched across his face.

"Janelle?"

She didn't answer at first, just walked over and wrapped her arms around him, burying her face in his chest.

He held her without hesitation, Owen gave them a glance, then simply gave Killian a small nod.

Walking away without a word.

Janelle stayed in Killian's arms longer than she meant to.

Long enough for the silence to start speaking on her behalf.

"Rough night?" Killian asked softly, pressing a kiss to the top of her head.

She nodded slowly. "It's Owen. It's everything. I just… I hate seeing him like that. So angry. So closed off."

Killian guided her to the couch, sitting do

    From behind Luca, a second figure stepped forward, it was another Luca. But this one was whole, radiant, it was divine. The real Luca staggered. “What... is that?” Ellie’s voice was soft. “Your reflection, the self you forged at Cinderfall.” For the first time, the Pale King hesitated. Then the two Lucas merged, silver light fusing, erasing the black veins entirely. Luca stood tall. Power radiated from him, well controlled and pure. The Pale King whispered, now uncertain. “No... this was not foretold.” Luca pointed his blade at him, voice cold. “Your terror ends here.” He lunged forward, and the world turned white. ***** Owen grabbed his gun, he opened the door and found a man with broad shoulders and a terrifying face. But that was the least of his concerns, the man was holding a knife. Was he here to kill the girl now inside Owen's apartment? "Have you seen a girl pass through here?" the man asked gruffly. "That's no way to speak to me." Owen replied coolly,

    Meanwhile, James, Shawn, Silver and Rachael were running through the Hollow Forest, the air thick with tension. They decided to split, James and Shawn went together while Silver and Rachael were left. Even if Rachael wasn't powerful, she couldn't stay home since she was already involved. Silver couldn't wait anymore, but deep down he felt Luca would show up, besides he felt the need to protect Rachael. But until he does, he can't just sit idle and do nothing. “We have to get back to Elara and the rest!” Rachael shouted, dodging twisted roots and low-hanging branches. “Who the hell is Elara?” he asked, his voice sharp. Before Racheal could answer, the forest fractured like a shattering mirror, and that threw Silver far off away from there, like 3 leagues away from there into the deepest part of the forest. A deafening crack split the sky. The very air tore open, forming a gaping rift above them. Shadow poured from it like living ink, spiraling into the Hollow. And the

    Over the past few days, Killian's arm has been getting better. Although he could still feel the numbness and a bit of pain, he was definitely improving. Janelle smiled at him. "Why are you looking at me like that?" Killian asked, raising a brow. "I don't know." She replied, her tone quieter. "Maybe because we have less than a week left. I can't take care of you fully anymore. I'll have to go back to work and..." Before she could finish, Killian reached out and gently placed his good hand over her lips. "It's okay." he said with a soft smile. "You've taken good care of me enough to last a lifetime." There was a brief pause. "Do you think we should stop?" She asked, almost hesitantly. Killian's expression shifted instantly, his brows furrowed, and his heart skipped. "Stop what?" He asked, his voice more serious now, a flicker of fear flashing in his eyes. She hesitated for a moment, then looked away. Janelle smiled softly at him, but the look in her eyes gave away what she was

    Ashley's father shot up from his chair, the sound of it scraping against the floor sharp and jarring. "You hold it right there, young lady!" He barked, his voice thunderous. Ashley paused just at the doorway, her back to him, shoulders tense but unmoved. He stepped out from behind the desk, fury igniting his features. "How dare you say that about her? That woman raised you. She loved you." Ashley slowly turned to face him, her eyes dark and hollow. "Loved me? The same woman who locked me in my room for hours if I so much as rolled my eyes? The one who made sure I knew every single day that I wasn't hers? Who smiled in front of you and spit venom the second you left?" She scoffed. "You're exaggerating..." "No, I'm not. You just never saw it because you didn't want to." Her voice cracked slightly. "And even when I tried to tell you, you made me feel like I was crazy. Like I imagined it all." "You think I don't have enough going on already?" he snapped, anger masking a brief

    The world outside the mirrored prison pulsed with silence after the storm. Luca stood, holding Amelia in his arms, her breath shallow, body weakened beyond endurance. The silk restraints had left faint marks on her wrists, and her skin was cold against his burning hands. Her head rested against his shoulder, eyes fluttering shut as exhaustion finally conquered her will. She had stayed awake for as long as her human strength allowed, but now, her body gave in. Luca whispered, voice like velvet laced with divine pain, “Sleep, dear, I am here.” His eyes scanned the shattered chamber. The energy inside the room still vibrated with remnants of dark rituals, Black Vale’s cursed formation had drained Amelia’s vitality. Rage simmered beneath his calm, they dared use blood rites on her. He shifted his attention to the dying embers of demonic glyphs etched into the mirrored walls. The glyphs pulsed weakly, mocking his presence. Luca raised his free hand, his fingers drawin

    Back at the estate, as a private jet fired up on the runway, Luca stood near the hangar’s edge with his father. “I’ll find her,” he vowed. “No matter what.” Dorian nodded. “I know. But Luca…” “What?” “If you fail, if you don’t make it back, I’ll burn this entire world to the ground, I SWEAR.” Father and son locked eyes, then Luca boarded the jet. The Revenants moved quietly in the shadows. And war followed in their wake, they have been eagerly waiting for this day, they were tired of their boring lifestyle, this is what they were trained for. The jet sliced through the clouds like a predator on the hunt. Inside, Luca sat silent, eyes closed but burning with power. His aura pulsed faintly around him, swirls of crimson and gold energy surrounded his skin like embers. The God of War, the power in him was awakening fully. Beside him, the Revenants sat in silent shadows. Their eyes glimmered under their masks, fully aware of the weight Luca carried. As the plane
