Kira has always known the Sinclairs to be ruthless and vicious. Her heart raced with fright.

"I can't let this happen to my father!" Her face ran dry and itchy from her tears.

Her being was pierced with guilt. She felt responsible for everything that had been going on with her family.

First, everything was taken away from them by the Sinclair. They prevented everyone from patronizing her father's leather company until they ran into debt.

Then they came for hers, tearing it to the ground.

Her heart was battered. Her finances were torn apart. And then they came for her and her child.

Kira wanted revenge. To see them suffer and pay for everything that they had made her go through but then, how would that be possible when they were way above and she could not even get her life together?

A strand of tears flowed down from her eyes. She needed to get her life together and try to save her father.

If anything were to happen to his life, she was never going to forgive herself for involving herself with Mazzle, especially when they had never approved of him.

A person flashed through her mind... 

'What if Mazzle could truly help?' The thoughts broke off from her mind, causing a heartfelt break of laughter.

"Mazzle?"

"After running away from the pressure of the Sinclair's. Leaving me and my son to suffer and returning like nothing had ever happened and making empty promises?" A bitter sensation rose through her throat.

The sensation of falling so hard for a total coward. And still having feelings for him.

Kira's hands tightened into a firm grip. She took her phone and dialed a contact.  

"Jackson!"

The man that her parents had always wanted for her.

But her spirit never resonated with the young man. Maybe because of the rumors around him.... Or the fact that he had always had his playboy attitude tied around his neck.

Kira sipped in a deep breath. Her parents wanted him over Mazzle because they feared that Mazzle's fame wasn't going to last.

They thought that his father was going to leave him with nothing. But after he was built, they started liking him, or his money.

But immediately he disappeared, and they pressured Kira to get married to Jackson. The acute playboy.

And when she refused, he withdrew all the help that he was giving to the family and they haven't heard from each other for a long time.

Kira's hands squeezed tightly until blood poured. She thought of her act as a betrayal of the one that she loved so much.

"Why do I care? He left me once already... What would make him not do it again? I have to do this for my father..."

"With Jackson's wealth of connections. He would easily be able to get my father off from that cell with just a flick of her fingers.." She immediately assured herself placing the call over to Jackson.

"It's the irony..." Kira's desperation could barely allow her to detect the irony in Jackson's voice.

"I need your help... Jackson... And I'm ready to give anything in return."

Meanwhile, at Eastside Correctional Center, the commander-in-chief rivaled with great fright. The balls of his eyes sucked into their sockets as he shook violently.

"I believe you have better persons that would fit in his category?" Mazzle inquired calmly, like nothing had happened.

"Yes... Yes sir!" The commander-in-chief couldn't keep his cool at the display of the Almighty God of War.

"So back to where we were before I was rudely interrupted. I will reinstate my interest and I believe you would be in a better position to help me with my needs!"

The commander-in-chief quickly bowed, his heart pacing off from his chest.

"Anything to pleasure you, sir!" He noted.

"I'm here for Mr. James Thompson. He has been wrongly accused. And I have proof of this claim.

I want him out of the death row at this moment. If you need proof that he is innocent, I will gladly do that!"

Everyone in the cell immediately crashed to their feet. Hearts pacing and throats parched out of fright.

They all thought that the God of War was still offended and looking for any means possible to execute every single one of them.

Cause the God of War that they had heard of was never somebody to make a request. Or to even wait for something.

"Please forgive us God of War!" They all chanted the words at the same time.

"So stand!" Mazzle instructed, his patience already thinning.

"There's no need for formalities or apologies. Just get James out of there!" He instructed.

The commander-in-chief, knowing better than to ask any more questions, quickly brought out his cell phone from his pockets.

"I'm speaking with the supervisor of the execution right?" He slid swiftly to the point.

"Yes... Yes, commander. And everything is going swiftly and accordingly!" An overly excited voice came through from the other end of the cell.

It wasn't ever that anyone got the opportunity to hear the voice of the Almighty commander-in-chief.

Sweat dripped from the face of the commander like droplets of rain as his eyes ran from Mazzle back to his cell phone.

"One of the men has been accused wrongly and the higher authorities want it to be seen that he is removed from the death roll..."

"Okay, commander." The supervisor who had been listening keenly noted.

"He's James Thompson." I will see to that right away.

The commander could only let out a deep breath.

"Hey!" The supervisor called out... 

"We've been instructed to discharge James Thompson." The supervisor called out to one of the men for Kira's father to be released.

"James Thompson?"

"He went into the gallon roll about five minutes ago!! He should have been executed already!"

The voice through the speakers of the cell phone echoed through the room and feet immediately into jelly as daggers struck the hearts of everyone in the room.

    The spiral tunnel took them down slowly, like an elevator made of light and shifting energy. There were no walls you could actually see, and it felt less like moving through real space and more like going down through layers of memory itself."This doesn't feel real," Kira said, gripping Eren's wrist tight to keep her balance."It's not exactly real," Eren said back. "We're moving through the Drift system itself now."Elina stuck close behind them, her eyes huge as she tried to wrap her head around what she was seeing. The hallway wasn't made of metal or stone. It was built from tangled signals and data pulses, making a path through the actual framework of the Drift.They went down for almost a minute before light started spreading out ahead of them. The feeling of solid ground came back under their feet as they walked into a room so huge that the ceiling just disappeared into darkness above."Look up there," Elina whispered.Thousands of lights sparkled in groups and patterns like st

    The reflection just sat there for a few seconds, totally still and clear. The black mirror's surface didn't move at all, but you could feel this weird electric buzz filling up the room. Eren stood right in front of it, not even fazed by his own face looking back at him."That's not just some regular reflection," Kira said under her breath, walking up slowly. "It's actually looking at you."She could feel this pressure building up in her ears and some strange vibrating under her feet. This wasn't just some random thing they'd found. It was like some kind of control panel, way more complicated than anything they'd run into in the Root or Vault rooms.Elina walked around the edges of the room, trying to scan the thing with her gadgets, but all her stuff just died without any warning."My equipment won't do anything near this thing," she said. "Whatever it is, it doesn't want us recording it or figuring it out."Eren lifted his hand toward the mirror, stopping just a couple inches away. T

    The hills spread out like old bones across the north side of the valley, sharp ridges of rock and rusty metal from old fights that time had eaten away. Eren, Kira, and Elina moved carefully through the area, keeping their speed steady but careful."Still nothing from anybody," Kira said quietly, looking back for like the hundredth time.The air felt weird around them, not from being up high but from something invisible pushing down on everything. Every few minutes, Elina stopped to check if anyone was following them, but her gear still wouldn't work right."Whatever was guarding the Root place is still here," she said. "Like some kind of jamming that hasn't gone away yet."They got to the top of a hill that looked down at a narrow canyon filled with the leftover junk from old Freeman supply routes. Busted cargo stuff and twisted metal framework was scattered everywhere, what was left of a transport line that used to connect Freeman's northern bases."I know this spot," Eren said, look

    The air felt different when the door closed behind them. They were cut off from the room where Eren had taken his test. Outside, everything looked the same—cold, quiet, covered in thick clouds and Freeman's heavy silence. But something big had changed.When Eren walked forward, the land acted different around him. There were no shakes or things you could see, but Kira felt it like something huge finally clicking into place after being broken for years."You're different now," Kira said, looking at him hard.Eren didn't look older or tired from whatever happened in that test room. But his eyes had something new in them that wasn't there before. Not just knowing things, but carrying something heavy. The kind of knowledge that makes you see everything differently."I feel more like me," he said simply. "More than I have since this whole thing started."Kira nodded. She got it. Whatever happened during that test, he picked it himself. No point worrying about it now. If he changed, it was

    The newly opened hall stretched into darkness ahead of them, its walls smooth and solid. No lights marked the path, no signs or symbols, only that single word carved above the entrance: Convergence. The air inside felt warmer than the room they had left behind, like the temperature was changing to match their presence.Eren walked first, his steps calm and sure against the stone-like floor. Under the surface, a faint current seemed to pulse, like the pathway itself was alive."This feels different," Kira said quietly, following close behind him."The whole place is responding to us," Elina added, checking her equipment. "Or maybe just to Eren."They moved deeper into the hall, which started to slope downward in a slow spiral. The drop was so exact and steady that it mixed up Elina's sense of direction. The tunnel never changed in width or height, but the feeling in their bones got heavier with each step.

    They walked quietly through the dark, using just the blue glow from their gear and what was left of Elina's scanner. The ground ahead looked all torn up and empty, like nobody had cared about it for years. "This place gives me the creeps," Kira said, watching where she stepped around loose rocks. "Something really bad went down here." "Yeah, it's totally dead," Elina said, looking at her readings. "Freeman used it for testing stuff way back, but they never put it on any maps or anything." Eren was walking in front of them, moving like he knew exactly where he was going even though he'd never been here before. Ever since they left the Root place, he'd been acting different—not bad different, just like he was listening to something the rest of them couldn't hear. "How do you even know which way to go?" Kira asked, jogging to catch up with him. "I honestly don't know," Eren said. "It's like someone stuck a GPS in my brain, but instead of directions, it's just feelings about which w
