Infiltrating The Stronghold
Chapter 77: Infiltrating the Stronghold Kaela adjusted her tremble, her voice barely a whisper. “Well-guarded, but not impossible. Looks like they’re expecting trouble, though.” Raiden nodded, his golden eyes narrowing. “They know we’re close. We’ll have to proceed carefully.” Draco’s voice rumbled softly in Raiden’s head, his presence remote but attentive. “The shadows inside that place are thick with corruption. The Prophet’s power has distorted the very air around it. Be fast, Raiden, and do not linger.” Raiden glanced at Kaela. “We stick to the plan. In and out. Find out what the Prophet’s planned and go back before they discover we’re here.” Kaela grinned slightly, nocking an arrow. “Subtlety’s not your strong suit, but I’ll keep you out of trouble.” The couple crept closer to the stronghold, using the uneven terrain and thick underbrush for protection. The guards walked in predictable patterns, their torches generating pockets of shadow between their pathways.
Cryptic Warnings
Chapter 76: Cryptic Warnings The journey toward the mountain pass was hard. The slope was steep, studded with loose rocks that threatened to give way underfoot, and the air grew colder with every step. Raiden led the group, his eyes fixated on the meandering road ahead. Draco swooped above, his enormous wings casting fleeting shadows over the group as they moved forward. Kaela, strolling just behind Raiden, broke the silence. “I don’t like this. It’s too quiet.” Raiden gazed back at her, his expression harsh. “That’s because they want it to be. The Prophet is setting the stage, aiming to unnerve us.” “Well, it’s working,” Rurik growled, hefting his axe onto his shoulder. “Nothing good ever comes from a quiet trail. Either something’s ready to jump out at us, or we’re heading straight into a trap.” Draco’s voice rumbled in Raiden’s thoughts, low and menacing. “The shadows linger here. Be vigilant, Raiden. The Prophet leaves his mark wherever he treads.” “I know,” Raid
Village Rescue
Chapter 75: Village Rescue The bitter stink of smoke and ash filled the air as Raiden and his company approached the edge of the village. The once-thriving village of Willowreach now lay in ruins, its burned remains silhouetted against the waning light of sunset. Buildings smoldered, their timbers reduced to charcoal carcasses. The silence was stifling, broken only by the faint crackle of fire and the odd groan of collapsing structures. Raiden clutched the hilt of his sword hard, the golden runes along its blade blazing brightly in reaction to the leftover evil magic filling the air. Draco swooped overhead, his gigantic wings stirring the smoke, giving glimpses of carnage below. Kaela dismounted her horse alongside him, her bow already in hand. “If there are survivors, they’ll be hiding,” she added, her voice low and strained. “The Order wouldn’t leave anyone behind unless they had a reason.” Raiden nodded, his gaze scouring the wreckage. “They wouldn’t have done this witho
Bonds Strengthened
Chapter 74: Bonds Strengthened The voyage back to the Elthorn Clan was marked by a deep quiet. The recent ambush had left its mark—not just in the losses sustained, but in the mistrust it placed in the hearts of Raiden’s colleagues. Even Kaela, who normally carried herself with unwavering confidence, seemed down as she led the remaining caravan along the tortuous mountain trail. Raiden, however, was restless. Each step of his horse’s hooves on the dusty path felt like a countdown. He could feel the weight of the world’s fragile equilibrium weighing on him, and every delay, every loss, tightened the noose. Above, Draco Maximus soared in slow, broad arcs, his golden wings casting fleeting shadows across the convoy. Raiden knew the dragon was keeping watch but also experienced the stress in their relationship. “Kaela,” Raiden cried, nudging his horse forward until he was beside her. She gazed at him, her typical smile replaced by a melancholy expression. “If you’re about to as
The Ember Prophet Strikes
Chapter 73: The Ember Prophet Strikes The midday sun hung low in the sky, creating lengthy shadows over the Elthorn Clan’s bustling trade route. Merchants guided carts laden with goods—food, guns, and necessary supplies—along the winding path to the Duskfall station. Guards flanked the caravan, their armor sparkling as they scoured the tree line for any signs of danger. Raiden and Kaela rode ahead of the group, their presence a reassurance to the worried traders. The tension in the air was obvious, and Raiden could feel the weight of every glance directed toward the dark woodland that bordered the trail. “Something feels off,” Kaela whispered, her bow lying loosely in her grasp. Her piercing gaze raced from tree to tree. Raiden nodded. “Draco sensed movement earlier, but it was faint. Whatever it is, it’s waiting for the proper moment.” Above them, Draco circled high, his golden scales glinting in the sunlight. His deep voice rumbled in Raiden’s head. “The shadows move un
Divided Allegiances
Chapter 72: Divided Allegiances The atmosphere was filled with anxiety as Raiden appeared before the leaders of the Duskfall Clan. Their darkly lighted council hall matched the dismal attitudes of its occupants, who eyed him with a mixture of mistrust and caution. Lord Aemric, a tall man with sharp features and an even sharper tongue, leaned forward from his seat at the head of the table. “You come to us with tales of fractured seals and shadowed threats, Raiden, but you’ve offered little proof. Why should my clan sacrifice everything to support you?” Raiden met his stare evenly, though his jaw stiffened. “Because the Sovereign wasn’t just a nightmare—it was real. I met it, fought it, and sealed it again, but not without sacrifice. The seal is broken, and its power persists. The clans are in danger.” Aemric scoffed, reclining back in his chair. “Danger, yes, but from you or the Sovereign? That’s the true question.” A low murmur rippled across the room, and Raiden’s grip
