Chapter One Hundred and Four: The Abyss Opens
The world gave way beneath her. Stone, flame, and broken sky fell into the abyss as though creation itself had been ripped from its foundation. Aria’s scream vanished into the roar of collapsing earth, her body plunging into endless black.The ember still blazed inside her, burning every vein, every breath. But her sword, the last anchor, the last piece of Jason she could wield, was gone, spinning away into the endless dark.Her fingers clawed desperately at the nothingness, air slipping through like water. The abyss pulled harder, swallowing everything. And then, The shadows struck.They rose from the void in writhing, hungry waves, their forms shifting between smoke and claw and teeth that never settled. They didn’t fall like she did. They swam through the dark, closing in with whispers.“Mortal flame… broken flame… give it to us…”Aria twisted, fury blazing through the terror. Her body spun, her fist erupting with Jason’s ember as she hurled a blast of white fire into the dark.The
Chapter One Hundred and Three: The Choice That Burns
The ground still smoked from Kael’s impossible blaze. The gods’ voices had retreated into the abyss, but the silence that followed was worse, too deep, too wrong, as though the battlefield itself was holding its breath.Aria knelt in the rubble, Jason in her arms, her body trembling as she clutched him tighter. Tears streaked her ash-stained face, but she wouldn’t let them fall freely. Not yet.She wouldn’t break. Not while Jason still breathed. Not while Kael’s fire still lingered faintly in the broken air. But Jason’s voice shattered that fragile hold.“Aria,” he rasped, his breath hot against her ear, “do it. Use my flame. Before it’s gone.”Her head whipped down, eyes blazing with denial. “No. Don’t say that. I can’t, I won’t.”Jason’s cracked lips curved into something halfway between a grimace and a smile. His body shook with every word, but his eyes…his eyes burned with the faint embers of a man who had carried far too much for far too long. “You can. You must.”A shudder ripp
Chapter One Hundred and Two: The Fire That Shouldn’t Exist
Kael should have been ash. The First Ember’s grasp should have obliterated him, crushed his mortal flesh into nothingness, and snuffed out whatever fragile spark of life he had left.But instead, he burned, brighter than the god itself. The fire wasn’t golden like the Ember’s. It wasn’t black like the Devourer’s. It was white. Pure, searing white, like the core of a dying star.The air split under its weight, the battlefield trembling as though the world itself struggled to contain it.Aria’s eyes widened, her heart leaping and breaking in the same breath. She could hardly breathe as she clutched Jason tighter, both terror and awe coursing through her veins.“Kael…” she whispered, her voice a thread, fragile and shaking.Jason stirred weakly in her arms, his cracked lips parting. His eyes fluttered open, glowing faintly with embers. He looked at Kael through the blur of pain, and a ragged whisper escaped his throat.“That’s… impossible…”Aria bent her head close, desperate. “What is i
Chapter One Hundred and One: Shattered Flame
The silence was unbearable. Aria’s scream had cut through the battlefield like broken glass, but now, now there was only the hollow sound of her breath, ragged and trembling as she clutched Jason’s limp body against her chest. His skin was cold. Colder than it should have been.“Jason,” she whispered, shaking him as though her desperation could drag him back from whatever abyss had claimed him. “Don’t you dare, don’t you dare leave me now”But his head lolled against her shoulder, cracks in his skin glowing faintly, like dying embers at the end of a fire. His chest moved, barely. A flicker of breath. But the blaze that had torn gods apart only moments ago…was gone.Aria’s tears fell onto his fractured face, sizzling as they touched the faint warmth still left in him. And then the ground rumbled.The First Ember loomed above them, towering against the sky, its molten face expressionless but its voice carrying thunder. “The vessel is broken.”It extended its hand again, palm open, finge
Chapter One Hundred: The Fall
The scream tore through Jason’s throat before he even realized it had left him. “ARIA!”Her fingers slipped through his. Her small frame tumbled backward, weightless, falling into the abyss that had split open at the crater’s core.The ground beneath them fractured in jagged rings, each crack glowing with molten fire as though the world itself had been set alight.Jason lurched forward, unstable wings tearing at the air. His body cracked with every movement, light and shadow exploding from fissures in his skin. He barely had control over his legs, but none of that mattered. He dove.Aria’s pale face spun beneath him, her silver hair catching sparks of flame as she plummeted. Her mouth was open, a soundless scream lost to the roar of the world breaking apart.Jason folded his wings tight and hurled himself after her. The abyss swallowed them both in seconds. Heat and darkness warred around him.White flame spiraled up the walls of the chasm, but black fissures slithered through it like
Chapter Ninety-Nine: Judgment of Fire
The ground shook with a rhythm like a heartbeat. A heartbeat far too massive to belong to anything mortal.The figure that rose from the crater was a furnace given form. Plates of molten armor dripped with liquid flame, sealing and unsealing like a living wound.Its mask glowed with cracks of light, no mouth, no nose, only two white flares where eyes should be, eyes that fixed immediately on Jason. The First Ember.Kael dropped to one knee without thinking, his instincts screaming reverence and terror. His sword vibrated in his grip as though the ancient being’s presence alone threatened to rip it apart.Aria clutched at Jason’s arm, barely conscious, but her lips shaped words: “Jason… run…”But Jason couldn’t move. He wasn’t just staring at the First Ember, he was connected to it. The ember in his chest burned so violently that he thought it might burst from his body.Each pulse inside him matched the colossal being’s stride as it climbed from the molten fissure. And yet, for all its
