Mara disappeared on the second day before the trial.

Helena found her room empty. Belongings still there. Weapon gone. No note.

"She left during the night," Weave said, reading threads. "Went toward the Scar."

"Why?" Ten asked.

"The threads won't show me. They blur around her. Like something's blocking them." Weave's face went pale. "That shouldn't be possible. I can see everything."

"Not everything," the VOID said through Weave's mouth. "I can't see her either. She's hidden from both of us."

"How?" Helena demanded.

"I don't know. But I'm curious." The VOID's presence focused. "Very curious."

They found Mara at the Scar's edge. She wasn't alone. A woman stood with her. Old. Scarred. Radiating power that made reality bend.

"That's not possible," Kross whispered. "She's dead. I watched her die."

"Who?" Sari asked.

"The ninth bearer. We told you there were eight. We lied. There were nine." Kross's voice shook. "Her name was Vera. She opposed the division more violently than Mordain. Trie

  • The Defense Of Murderers

    Mordain's army arrived at sunset. Three thousand strong. Armed with anger and weapons.Ten stood at the chamber entrance. His companions flanked him. Behind them, four bearers who'd deliberately created cosmic horror."Move aside," Mordain called. "We're not here for you.""Can't do that," Ten said."They're murderers. Genocidal architects of suffering. You're defending them?""We're defending process. Defending trial. Defending justice over revenge.""Justice is what we're bringing." Mordain gestured at the thousands behind him. "These people lost family to the VOID. To Vocans. To manufactured threats. They deserve vengeance.""Vengeance isn't justice.""Semantics." Mordain stepped forward. "Last chance. Move or be moved.""Then move us."Mordain attacked. His bearer power tore reality. Ten dodged. Barely. Without his lightning, he was just human. Just flesh against a god.Helena's hammer caught Mordain's second strike. The impact shattered stone beneath her feet. She held. Barely."

  • Mordain's Escape

    Ten felt it first. A tearing in his chest where he'd stored Mordain in paradox."Something's wrong," he gasped, falling to his knees.Liora grabbed him. She felt it too. The paradox prison cracking. Mordain pushing through."He's escaping," she said. "How? We trapped him completely.""The trial," Weave said, eyes tracking frantic threads. "The VOID judged everyone. Exposed everyone's crimes. That includes Mordain's imprisonment. And the VOID's judgment was that choosing for others without consent is wrong.""So it freed him?" Helena demanded."No. But it weakened the justification. Made the imprisonment questionable. And Mordain's strong enough to exploit doubt." Weave's face went pale. "He's almost through."Ten and Liora both screamed. The paradox prison shattered. Reality split. And Mordain stepped out, smiling."Thank you," he said. "Thank you for creating a reality that questions its own heroes. Makes

  • The Trail Of Everyone

    The trial began at dawn. Thousands gathered in the Garden. The VOID had built a platform from compressed reality. Eight bearers stood on it. Mara. Vera. And the companions. "This is insane," Helena muttered. "We didn't create the VOID." "No. But you broke the cycle without asking. Merged realms without consent. Made choices affecting billions." The VOID's voice came from everywhere. "Own it." "Devol, speak," the VOID commanded. "Defend yourself or accept judgment." Devol stepped forward. "We created hunger from nothing. Should have confessed immediately. Instead we hid. Killed anyone who discovered truth. I deserve execution." "Do you want execution?" "No. I want to live. But I don't deserve to." "Honest." The VOID shifted to Therha. "You opposed the division. Failed. Chose to become guardian as penance. Explain." "I could have done more. Could have kept fighting. I chose passive resistance. That's cowardice dressed as patience." The VOID moved to the eldest bear

  • The Voice In Everything

    Helena's hammer spoke first."Forty-three Vocans. Seventeen possessed soldiers. Six corrupt officials. One innocent man." The metal hummed. "His name was Markus. Three children. They think he was a traitor. Should I tell them the truth?"Helena dropped it."I can't shut up. I'm in everything now. Every weapon. Every tool. I know their histories." The hammer laughed. "Want to know what your father's sword did? The things he never told you?"Helena threw it at a tree.The tree spoke. "That hurt. Two hundred years growing. And you throw metal at me."Helena ran back to camp."It's in my threads," Weave said, terrified. "The new VOID. Reading everything I see.""Can you block it?" Kael asked."No. It's part of reality now. Part of everything." Weave clutched her head. "It knows about Mordain trapped in paradox. It's thinking about freeing him.""Don't," Ten said to the air.Liora's dragon scale pulsed. "Why not? He's honest about his hatred. More honest than bearers pretending redemption

  • No more Trust

    "And we don't deserve forgiveness. Don't deserve mercy. We deserve execution. Deserve to face the same horror we inflicted on others. But before we die, let us fix it. Let us unmake what we made. Let us end the VOID properly. Then judge us. Then execute us. Just let us undo the damage first."Ten's corruption broke completely. He collapsed. Himself again. Free from Mordain's control. "You want us to help you? After learning you caused everything?""No. We want you to use us. Sacrifice us the way we sacrificed billions. Take our power. Our essence. Our everything. And use it to permanently end what we began." Devol looked at Kross. "Right?""Right," Kross agreed. "We're weapons. Use us to kill our own creation. Then dispose of us however humanity sees fit."Mordain screamed. "No! You're ruining everything! Confession doesn't absolve! It just exposes weakness!""Maybe," Devol said. "But it also breaks corruption. Look."Ten and Liora stood together. Themselves again. Free. The paradox s
