Season 2-Chp 53
The ground beneath the sinkhole had stopped trembling, but nothing felt still. The golden glow from Ashiel’s awakening still pulsed softly, casting long shadows across the broken stone. Where there had once been silence, there was now weight — not danger, not peace, just the impossible pressure of everything that had been forgotten finally coming to the surface.Jerome stood at the center of it all, surrounded by flickering remnants of his own sealed past. He could still feel them — his anger from when he first wore the chain, the guilt he’d buried beneath heroism, the cruel clarity he’d once mistaken for wisdom. All of it had returned, not to consume him… but to complete him.Ashiel stepped to the side, no longer glowing but still carrying the presence of something larger than any Crown.The boy stared between them both.He looked smaller now.Not because his power had diminished — if anything, he still radiated the same quiet threat, the same unreadable intent. But for the first tim

The boy stood at the edge of the sinkhole like he'd been waiting for centuries.Barefoot. Calm. His silhouette caught the dying light, casting no shadow. His face didn’t wear malice, but something worse: certainty. The kind of certainty Jerome had abandoned long ago. The kind that broke kingdoms.Jerome took one step forward. The rest followed behind him, forming a line at the pit’s rim. No one spoke immediately. The golden light below, pulsing from within the earth, wrapped their feet in an unnatural glow.The boy smiled as if greeting old friends.“You finally came,” he said.Rhydan’s hands flexed at his sides. “You were in the volcano.”“I was everywhere,” the boy said. “You just finally started paying attention.”Jerome stepped forward again. “You shouldn’t be here.”“And yet here I am,” the boy said. “Standing exactly where you buried your first betrayal.”Margareth’s voice was low, sharp. “Ashiel’s not yours.”The boy turned his head slightly toward her, curious. “Do you even kn

It pulsed. Not like heat or light, but like breath. Alive. A slow inhale, then a sharp exhale that tugged at the soul. When it turned violet, the change was not only in color but in meaning. It wasn’t a flame anymore.It was a message.Jerome stood at the edge of the obsidian platform, his hand hovering over the fire. He didn't touch it. He couldn't. Not because he was afraid of pain, but because he was afraid it would recognize him and respond."He was here," the flame-girl said again, her silver hair stirring in the heatless wind. “He changed it. But only part of it.”Margareth approached slowly, keeping her steps quiet though they were already surrounded by silence. “What part?”The girl looked up at her.“The part that remembered why it was sealed.”Jerome finally spoke. “He stole the regret.”Selene stepped forward, her arms crossed, her voice sharp. “How can someone steal a regret?”Jerome turned to her. “By making it his own. That’s what the boy is doing. Not just finding the s

Even after the boy vanished, after the last of his words had melted into the wind, none of them could rest. The fire burned lower and lower until it was barely embers, until even the sparks seemed hesitant to rise. The night itself had grown unnaturally quiet—no insects, no birds, not even the whisper of wind.Veyra watched the tree line.Margareth sat near Jerome, who hadn’t spoken since the fire began to fade.Selene leaned against a tree with her eyes open, blade unsheathed across her lap. Rhydan hadn’t stopped pacing.Jerome was the only one still.“He’s too quiet,” Rhydan finally said, not hiding the bitterness in his voice. “I don’t like it.”Selene’s voice was calm, but edged. “You think he’s planning something?”“I think he’s remembering,” Margareth said before anyone else could answer.Jerome didn’t look up.“I’m not remembering,” he said at last. “I’m re-sealing.”Margareth straightened. “What do you mean?”“I never told anyone,” Jerome murmured, “but every time I sealed a b

They didn’t speak as they descended the tower. Not because there was nothing to say, but because the silence felt necessary — like anything they said now would shatter what little balance they still had. The air around them was thinner, not from altitude, but from weight. What Jerome had faced inside wasn’t just another version of himself. It was the beginning. And he knew… it wasn’t over.By the time they stepped back onto the cracked earth of the field, dawn had begun to break. The sky wasn't gold or blue. It was gray — hollow, unsure if it wanted to rise or fall. Jerome looked over his shoulder.The tower was gone.No stone. No ruins. Just open air, like nothing had ever been there.“It was never real,” Selene muttered, but there was no conviction in her voice.Jerome shook his head. “It was real. But only as long as I was willing to remember it.”“You saying you built that place?” Rhydan asked.“No,” Jerome answered quietly. “I carried it.”They walked for a long time before anyon
Season 2-Chp 48
Even after the First vanished — unraveled by the chain and Margareth’s defiant touch — the walls seemed to breathe, like the tower itself hadn’t decided whether to collapse or continue. The green light from the chain had faded from brilliance to ember, still alive, but no longer wild. It pulsed gently now, like a heartbeat remembering how to slow down.Jerome lay on the floor, breath shallow, eyes wide but unfocused. His skin was pale with sweat, and his body trembled as though every muscle had been emptied and refilled with cold fire.Margareth didn’t leave his side. She held his head in her lap, brushing damp curls away from his forehead, whispering to him in a language they hadn’t used in years — not magic, not prophecy.Just comfort.Selene crouched nearby, her blade still unsheathed but slack in her hand. Rhydan stood with arms crossed, jaw clenched, eyes not on Jerome, but on the spot where the First had stood.Veyra leaned against the stone wall, blood on her lips and smoke in
