A Confidential Revelation
Chapter 84: A Confidential Revelation The sounds of the conflict faded, leaving the chamber in an unsettling calm. The last of the void creatures had disintegrated into black mist, their essence absorbed into the obsidian walls. Raiden stood at the center of the Vault, the Twin Blades of Equinox in his hands, their energies humming in perfect harmony. Kaela wiped the sweat from her brow, her bow still grasped tightly. “Is it over?” “For now,” Raiden answered, his voice calm but laced with tiredness. He sheathed the Blades, their energy diminishing as they settled into their resting condition. Draco’s harsh growl rippled through the chamber. “The battle was only the beginning. The Vault holds more than weapons. It holds truths, hidden for centuries.” Raiden stared at the glowing runes along the walls, their light moving and pulsating like a heartbeat. “Then it’s time we learned those truths.” The runes on the walls shifted as Raiden approached the far side of the chamber.
The Twin Blades Of Equinox
Chapter 83: The Twin Blades of Equinox The huge doors of the Obsidian Vault groaned open, exposing a cavernous room bathed in a murky, flickering light. The air was chilly, yet it carried an oppressive weight, each breath felt like a struggle against an unseen power. Raiden went inside, his golden eyes surveying the large cavern. The walls were smooth and black as polished obsidian, inscribed with ancient glyphs that glowed softly. A narrow path ran ahead, leading to an elevated platform near the center of the space. Upon it laid two weapons, their aura noticeable even from a distance. “The Twin Blades of Equinox,” Draco murmured gently in Raiden’s head. “Balance incarnate. Together, they hold the potential to combine light and shadow—or destroy them both.” Kaela followed warily, her bow drawn. “I don’t like this,” she said, her voice low. “It feels... alive. Like the Vault itself is watching us.” Rurik hefted his axe, his gaze watchful. “Alive or not, those blades look
The First Trial
Chapter 82: The First Trial The Gatekeeper’s attack sent shockwaves racing around the cavern. Raiden barely had time to react before the ground beneath him broke and disintegrated, sending him plummeting into a gulf of swirling blackness. “Raiden!” Kaela’s cry resonated above, full with panic, before being absorbed by the nothingness. The plummet was unending, the weight of the shadows crushing down on Raiden like a stifling cloud. He tightened his grip on his sword, its golden glow diminishing as if the nothingness wanted to conceal its light. Draco’s voice resonated faintly in his head, a steadying presence amidst the mayhem. “Do not falter, Raiden. The hardship is designed to break you, but your will is stronger than the shadows.” Raiden gritted his teeth. “I won’t break.” The fall quickly ceased, and Raiden landed on solid ground, the impact unpleasant but not debilitating. He climbed to his feet, his surroundings moving into focus. He stood on a battlefield frozen i
The Forbidden Path
Chapter 81: The Forbidden Path The air was silent and heavy as the party stood at the lip of the canyon, peering down into the abyss below. The thin bridge over the chasm was a dangerous mix of rotten wood and fraying rope, swaying softly with every blast of wind. Kaela let out a low whistle, her hand resting on her bow. “This is the only way across? I was expecting for something less... suicidal.” Rurik grumbled, testing the first plank with his boot. The wood creaked ominously. “Not exactly reassuring, but better than flying blind into the void. Unless you’ve got wings, Kaela?” She shot him a look. “I’ll stick to solid ground, thanks.” Draco’s voice rumbled in Raiden’s head. “The bridge will hold, but the void’s influence seeps into the air here. Its corruption bends reality. Stay focused, Raiden.” Raiden adjusted his blade on his back, the bright shard throbbing softly in his bag. “We cross one at a time. Kaela, take point. I’ll follow. Rurik, you cover the rear
The Journey Begins
Chapter 80: The Journey Begins The morning sun streamed through the dense canopy overhead, its golden rays piercing the gloom of the forest. Despite the sunshine, an unnatural coolness lingered to the air, a lingering reminder of the void’s expanding impact. Raiden stood at the edge of the camp, his golden eyes scanning the horizon. He tightened the straps on his armor, the weight of the shard in his pouch pressing on his side. Beside him, Draco loomed silently, his enormous form exuding a steady, soothing warmth. Kaela approached, her quiver slung over her shoulder and her bow in hand. “We’ve got enough supplies for the first leg of the journey,” she replied, her voice brisk. “Rurik’s securing the path ahead. He’s complaining, of course, but he’ll manage.” Raiden offered a slight smile. “He always does.” Kaela observed him for a time, her gaze softening. “You sure about this? Once we set foot on that path, there’s no turning back.” Raiden’s gaze hardened. “The Vault i
The Obsidian Vault Revealed
Chapter 79: The Obsidian Vault Revealed Raiden and Kaela trekked through the deep jungle as the first rays of light crept through the canopy. The air was heavy with rain, the remains of the previous night’s conflict still clinging to them like an unwanted shadow. Draco swooped overhead, his massive wings silent yet powerful, a continuous confirmation of their relationship. Kaela broke the silence first, her voice low. “That shard... it’s dangerous, Raiden. I felt it when you took it up. It’s throbbing with something unnatural.” Raiden nodded, his golden gaze locked on the thin trail ahead. “It’s more than dangerous. Draco thinks it’s a part of the void’s essence. If we can grasp it, we could find a means to neutralize the Prophet’s magic.” Kaela stopped, her brow wrinkled. “And what if it’s a trap? What if trying to understand it merely corrupts us, the way it’s corrupted them?” Raiden turned to her, his expression steely. “Then we have to be stronger than they were.
