Chapter 38 — The Son of the Flame
The chamber burned with a silent fire.No smoke. No heat. Just a constant, shifting glow that danced across the black stone walls. The colossal tree before Collins pulsed with golden veins, its roots coiling like sleeping serpents.At its heart stood the figure — tall, regal, and terrifyingly calm.Flames licked around his shoulders, but his face was human, eerily similar to Collins’s own.Collins felt his breath catch. “Who are you?”The man smiled faintly. “I am what your world forgot. What your blood remembers.”His voice carried like thunder trapped in glass. “I am Eryndor, the Flame Unending.”Collins blinked, his hands tightening around his sword. “Eryndor… the god of the Fifth Flame. The one who destroyed the heavens.”“Destroyed?” The man’s laughter was hollow. “Is that what they told you?”He stepped closer, the fire dimming as though it obeyed his will. “No, Collins. I didn’t destroy them. I freed them.”Collins’s pulse raced. “Freed them from what?”“From eternity,” Eryndor
Chapter 37 — The Heart of Earth
The ground split open before Collins like a wound in the world.The glowing green fissure pulsed with rhythm — as if the land itself was breathing. He could feel the pull from deep below, the same energy that had echoed in his mother’s final words.Behind him, the sky over Lutherchris darkened, heavy clouds gathering as if trying to hold him back. The floating isles shuddered, breaking apart one by one, pieces falling into the mist.But Collins didn’t hesitate.He stepped toward the fissure, the Shard of Stillness in his hand vibrating with faint energy.> “The Heart of Earth…” he whispered.“If this is where the truth is buried, then I’ll dig until my soul bleeds.”He leapt into the chasm.The fall lasted longer than it should have. The air around him grew heavy, glowing with faint green sigils that spiraled along the walls. It felt like falling through the memories of the world itself — flashes of forests, mountains, cities long buried.When he landed, the ground beneath him wasn’t
Chapter 36 — The Echo of Althea
The wind was still.The chaos of battle had faded into silence, broken only by the faint hum of the glowing sphere floating before Collins. It shimmered with soft gold light, its warmth cutting through the cold air around him.He stared at it, his chest rising and falling with uneven breaths.> “You said…” His voice faltered. “You said you’re the Echo of Althea. My mother.”The sphere pulsed gently in response, and then — as if the air itself held its breath — a voice emerged from within it.> “Yes, my son.”It was warm, calm, and heartbreakingly familiar.Collins’s heart twisted. He hadn’t heard her voice in years — not since she’d disappeared. Hearing it again made the air thicken with emotion.> “Mother…”The golden sphere began to change, shifting into a faint, shimmering projection — the image of a woman cloaked in white, her long hair glowing faintly like threads of light. Her face was soft, gentle, and filled with sorrow.> “Collins,” she said, her eyes full of love. “You’ve co
Chapter 35 — The Order of Embers
The air grew colder as the laughter faded into silence.The Guardian of Wind stood still beside Collins, her silver hair dancing in the faint breeze, eyes fixed on the dark shapes that loomed across the horizon.There were five of them — cloaked figures standing effortlessly upon the clouds, their forms shifting like smoke. Each carried an aura of fire, ancient and deep, but tainted with something darker.Collins tightened his grip on the Shard of Stillness. “Who are they really?”> “The Order of Embers,” the guardian said softly. “Once, they were protectors — chosen by the Flame itself to guard the balance of elements. But power… corrupted them.”She turned her gaze toward Collins. “When your mother sealed the Fifth Flame within you, they called it treason. They believed no mortal should wield what once belonged to the gods. When your parents vanished, the Order swore to reclaim the Flame — even if it meant burning the world to ash.”Collins’s chest tightened. “And now they’ve found
Chapter 34 — The Serpent of Storms
The sky trembled.Lightning streaked across the heavens like veins of light, and thunder rolled through the floating isles with a force that shook the very air.Collins stood beside the Guardian of Wind on the highest platform of the Sanctum. The Shard of Stillness pulsed violently in his hand, glowing with blue light that flickered in rhythm with the storm itself.“What’s happening?” he asked.The Guardian’s eyes narrowed, her voice low and grim.> “The balance has been disturbed. By awakening the Wind, you’ve broken the seal that held the Serpent beneath the clouds.”Collins’s stomach twisted. “A serpent?”The guardian raised her arm, and with a gesture, the clouds below parted — revealing a horror that made his blood run cold.Beneath them, coiled through the ocean of mist, was a creature larger than any mountain — a colossal serpent made of storm and cloud, with eyes of molten lightning and scales that shimmered like black glass. Every time it moved, the air cracked with thunder.
Chapter 33 — The Sanctum of Wind
The morning sky blazed with silver and blue. Clouds rolled beneath Collins’s feet like an ocean of mist as he stood at the cliff’s edge, clutching the Shard of Stillness. His father’s final words still echoed through his mind.> “Find the Wind Sanctum, in the ruins above the clouds.”He gazed upward. Floating islands drifted above, massive and ancient, chained together by currents of pure air. Lightning flashed between them like veins of light, and enormous feathered beasts soared in the distance.He took a deep breath and whispered, “Wind… lend me your strength.”The mark on his chest shimmered faintly, the fire and water sigils glowing in balance. Then, the wind beneath him shifted. It coiled gently around his body, lifting him off the ground. For a moment, he felt weightless — free.He rose higher and higher until the world below was swallowed by fog. The air grew thinner, colder. He landed on the first floating isle — a massive stone platform cracked with ancient runes that glowed
