Three days before the sparring session was scheduled, Aria had pulled Jason aside in the hallway outside the training room and told him the truth with the directness of someone who had decided that pretending was going to cost more than admitting.

"I don't know how to teach," she said. "I genuinely don't know how to do it."

Jason looked at her.

"You've explained magic concepts to me before," he said.

"That's different. You came in knowing things I could build on. Sophie is starting from a c

    Enoch Lindbergh did not panic.He had been the director of the Bureau of Paranormal Phenomena for nine years. He had sat across from S rank hunters who could level city blocks. He had negotiated with people whose abilities could reshape geography. A broken door was not enough to rattle a man with his resume.But the way Jason Ward sat down bothered him.Not aggressive. Not confrontational. The way someone sits down at their own kitchen table. Like the room belonged to him. Like the federal building and the security and the cameras and the thirty year institution behind all of it were furniture in someone else's house and he was just visiting."Mr. Ward," Enoch said carefully. "You've just destroyed federal property and incapacitated two of my security officers.""Eugene incapacitated them. I walked through the door he opened." Jason glanced at the camera in the corner. "You're recording this. Good. I want everything I say on record."Enoch's jaw tightened. "This is a national security

    The world found out in pieces.First came the military footage. Shaky, overexposed, filmed from the back of a retreating helicopter. The Titan standing in the desert. The golden bolt tearing its arm off. The figure on the ridge. The final flash of white light that turned the camera to static.Then came the interviews.Marcus Zelvin stood in front of fourteen cameras with dust still on his uniform and a bandage wrapped around his left arm. He was twenty six years old and he had been frozen on the ground waiting to die when golden lightning saved his life. He told the story the way a man tells a story when he knows the whole world is listening and he doesn't care."Her name is Alencia Walker," he said. His voice was steady. His eyes were not. "I don't know where she came from. I don't know how she did what she did. I know that three hundred hunters were on the ground and none of us could move and she stood on that ridge and tore a god apart with her bare hands."The clip played on every

    ## CHAPTER 121 — PART 1Vivie held the camera steady from half a mile away.The lens was good enough to capture everything. The desert ridge. The golden light. The girl standing at the top of it with electricity pouring off her body like water from a broken dam.A month ago, Alencia Walker had been an unpopular streamer with a criminal father and an aptitude score of eight. She had lived in a cramped apartment and applied for jobs that didn't call back and sat in a train car wondering if she would ever amount to anything.Now she was standing in front of the most powerful demonic entity that had ever walked on American soil.Vivie adjusted the zoom. Her hands were steady. Three hundred years of war had taught her many things, and one of them was how to hold still while watching someone else walk into the fire.On the ridge, Alencia was calm.Not the calm of courage. Not the calm of adrenaline suppressing fear. A different kind of calm. Blank. Empty. The calm of a mind that had process

    The battlefield outside Las Vegas was hell with better lighting.Three hundred hunters and five thousand soldiers spread across a line that stretched from the highway to the desert ridge. Tanks. Artillery. Helicopter gunships circling overhead. Mobile command centers with satellite uplinks feeding real time data to Washington.The Titan walked through all of it.Every missile hit its surface and detonated against the magical shield that surrounded its body like a second skin. The explosions bloomed orange and red and yellow and accomplished nothing. The shield absorbed the kinetic energy and the heat and the shrapnel and turned it into light that flickered once and vanished.A tank round hit the Titan's chest. The shell flattened against the shield and dropped to the desert floor like a crumpled piece of paper. The Titan didn't slow down. It didn't notice.The hunters attacked in waves. A rank teams coordinated strikes at the joints. B rank squads targeted the legs. Elemental abilitie

    Leon stood between Jason and the machine."You can't do this," he said. His voice was shaking. Not from fear. From the specific terror of a scientist watching someone attempt the impossible with a plan that shouldn't work. "The Heart of Prometheus was built from a dragon's core. Sarah spent two years designing it. The government poured billions into its construction. It was designed to draw Denver's entire electrical grid and sustain it for three seconds. Three seconds. That was the maximum output.""I know," Jason said."You're not a dragon core. You're not an artifact. You're a man. A returnee with shadow abilities and three hundred years of combat experience. That doesn't make you a power source.""It does," Jason said. "Sarah knew it. That's why she altered the formula on panel seventeen. She left me a message. The Heart of Prometheus wasn't the design. It was the backup plan. The machine was always meant to run on something else."Leon's hands were trembling. He looked at the mac
