264 Daughters of Eve
“Bingo.” Ashley’s eyes gleamed. “Mine are pretty cool if I do say so myself. I discovered them the hard way though.”Natalie was star-struck. “What are they?”“Well… I get visions—snippets of the future. They’re usually about unfortunate and horrific tragedies. And the big one?” She leaned in. “I can die and come back. Rewind time and start over. Done it several times, many of which weren’t voluntary.”Natalie stared at the woman, her mouth dry. “You’re serious? That is epic! But I can understand time travel since I know it to be possible. Tyler did it once to save Kat.”Ashley raised an eyebrow. “Oh, did he? He must have lost a great deal in the process. The men of prophecy can’t do time travel seamlessly like me. The point is, you’ve got something too. We just don’t know what yet.”Before Natalie could process that, a group of men approached—three of them. They were in crisp, expensive suits and brandished oily, perverted smiles.The leader leaned on their table, his breath heavy wi
263 Ashley Palmer
Natalie Anderson stepped out of the elevator, her sneakers squeaking faintly against the polished marble floor. It was a high-rise lobby, much fancier than the one back home at Anderson Industries. Norwich City glittered through the floor-to-ceiling windows. It was a sprawl of lights and noise. She had always wanted to visit Norwich as a child, having heard stories of its majestic ports and gargantuan ships. However, right now, her mind was too tangled to take in the grandeur. Tyler’s words echoed in her head: Go to Norwich. Find out what it means to carry Eve’s womb. It’s bigger than us, Nat. Find out more about yourself. His voice had been urgent, almost pleading and caring then. It didn’t matter anymore. They were broken up. But life didn’t end there. She had to find her origin. The receptionist waved her toward a private elevator with a curt gesture. “Ms. Anderson? Top floor, Ms. Palmer’s waiting for you.” Natalie nodded, stepping inside. The ride up was silent, the numbers cli
262 Immortality
Tyler wished the Lady of the Lake had given him at least a few seconds' head start before unpausing time. He saw Veronica's bat arcing toward Yara's skull. A thick smear of glee and satisfaction marred her evil grin. Perhaps the murder of someone helpless and unarmed was a fetish for her and Dagon. However, Tyler was no longer helpless. His mystical energy connection had not returned. But he had the Excalibur now, a weapon that transcended the mystics and the divine. There was no time to hesitate—every moment counted. With a surge of adrenaline, he launched himself forward. As expected, the young man's super-speed had returned. Tyler closed the gap in a split second. And dealt his blow in the second. The Excalibur gleamed in his hand as he swung, the blade slicing through the air with purpose. The first cut landed hard, hacking off Veronica's arm just above the elbow. Her scream was blood-curdling but very satisfactory to Tyler's ears. The severed portion of her arm fell to t
261 The Sword of Destiny
Tyler rubbed his eyes with a shaky hand, half convinced he’d hit his head too hard. Of course, he had dealt with gods and goddesses before, but they were part of scripture and mythology. This particular fantasy story coming to life was rather incredible.“This isn’t real,” the young man muttered. “No way this is happening.” But it was as real as rain. The Arthurian legends he’d read about as a kid—knights in armor, magic swords, enchanted ladies—were crashing into his life right here, right now.Still battling with death, he let out a shaky laugh. “I’m in a storybook. A freaking fairy tale.”Tyler’s body ached terribly, his injuries still bleeding and excruciating. However, beyond the pain, he realized something strange. It was the world around him. Everything had stopped, like someone had hit pause on a movie.Tyler turned his head to see Veronica standing a few yards away, her gnarled baseball bat raised high, mid-swing toward Yara’s head.Yara was immobilized, her eyes wide in horr
260 Blade and Water
Tyler lay sprawled face-down in the shallow river, hanging onto life. The icy water lapped at his bruised and battered body. The edges of his vision darkened as blood trickled from a dozen wounds, staining the stream.'How did it come to this?' he wondered helplessly. 'Am I not supposed to be the strongest in the world?'Just yesterday, the young man probably had the time of his life—sex with a goddess. Now, he was about to die, burdened with innocent deaths.The physical pain paled against the ache in his chest. Across the sandy bank, Veronica hovered over Yara, her wicked grin flashing in the moonlight. The cursed baseball bat in her hands hovered inches above Yara's trembling form.Yara's wide, terrified eyes locked onto Tyler's through the haze. She probably begged him to save her. 'Please, Mr. Grant. Do something. Save me. I don't wanna die.'Her unspoken words stabbed into his pride and sanity. 'I swore I'd protect her,' he thought, 'I swore I'd be strong enough.' But he wasn't.
259 Who’s the Savior Now
Lilith, now phasing between herself and Yara, returned to Tyler, watching him labor to breathe."Stay with me, master," she murmured. She funneled all her remaining energy into her hands and pressed them to his wound. The bleeding slowed almost immediately.The young man also felt his pain begin to dull. His vision returned. "Yara..." he said, putting a hand over her cheek. "Thanks. You saved me.""For now," she replied, her demoness voice gradually becoming softer. "The healing was incomplete. We need to get you away from the soul core. Only then can your mystical energies return. I'll take care of the dead body."Tyler nodded and tried to move his limbs. "Alright. Let's go. But you also need to recover your strength. We'll send someone to get rid of that wicked woman's corpse."The young man spoke too soon. A dark spark of electricity flared behind them. They turned towards the source in disbelief.Veronica's corpse twitched on the ground as if moved by an unseen force. Her head rol
