Chapter One Hundred and Sixteen: The Gate of Chains
The first of the chained firebearers lunged. Jason barely had time to raise his arms before the creature’s fist, burning black with abyss-fire, smashed into his guard.The impact sent him skidding across the fractured platform, stone shattering under his heels. His bones rattled, his fire flickered and another came, chains snapping as it dove for him with hollow, lifeless eyes.“Jason!” Aria’s voice cut through the storm. Her silver blaze struck downward, cleaving the second firebearer in half. The creature burst into a cloud of black flame, only for two more to rise from the lake and crawl onto the ruins.Jason pushed himself to his feet, chest heaving, his fists trembling with fading fire. He counted the shadows , five, then ten, then twenty. More kept rising, each bound by chains that glowed faintly with the abyss’s pulse. Each one radiated fragments of power that made his skin crawl.They weren’t just monsters. They had been firebearers once. Jason’s jaw clenched, grief stabbing
Chapter One Hundred and Fifteen: Chains of champion
A chain of black fire, thick as a tree trunk, whipped downward with the force of a falling star. Jason’s fire sputtered in his chest.His arms trembled as he dragged Aria behind him, bracing for impact. And then, Silver erupted. Aria’s light exploded outward, slamming into the chain mid-strike.The impact sent shockwaves across the platform, cracks spiderwebbing in the obsidian. Jason’s body shook from the backlash, ears ringing from the deafening clang of fire against fire.Aria staggered, her face pale, her hands trembling, but she didn’t fall. Her silver blaze held the chain in place, burning against the abyss’s grip. “Jason, move!” she cried, her voice breaking.Jason’s fire reignited with a snarl. He lunged forward, silver-white fire blazing around his fist, and slammed it into the chain. The impact detonated in a flare of sparks, tearing through the black flame.The chain recoiled, hissing like a serpent, the champion reeling from the blow. Jason panted, his chest heaving, every
Chapter One Hundred and Fourteen: Fire Beneath the Abyss
Jason and Aria plunged. No more falling through silence. This was different. The void split apart above them, sealing shut like a wound as they were hurled downward, into fire.But not their fire. Not white. Not silver. This fire was black. It roared like an ocean of screaming voices, each wave a surge of molten despair. It smelled of ash, of rot, of centuries burned and forgotten.Every lick of flame clawed at their skin, tearing, not scorching but unraveling, as if trying to strip their souls bare.Jason clutched Aria tighter, his fire straining to shield them both. But the black inferno chewed at the barrier, swallowing sparks as fast as he made them.“Jason” Aria gasped, her silver light flickering like a candle in storm winds. “This… isn’t just fire.”He felt it too. Every ember carried weight. History. Suffering. Memory. Each flame was a life extinguished, a soul consumed by the abyss and trapped forever in this furnace.The abyss wasn’t only hunger. It was a graveyard. The fire
Chapter One Hundred and Thirteen: The Hunger
Jason fell. No air. No ground. No sense of up or down. Only falling, endless, consuming, infinite.The void swallowed him whole, dragging his body through currents of nothingness, a black tide that pressed against his skin, pierced his bones, clawed at his soul. And in his arms, Aria.Her body trembled with faint silver light, flickering like a star about to die. Her breath shallow, her lips pale, but her hand gripped his chest still, refusing to let go even as the abyss screamed around them.Jason’s fire burned weakly, a fragile white spark against the endless dark. The abyss pressed against it, hungering, devouring, trying to smother it out.And for the first time, Jason realized, this wasn’t just emptiness. It was alive. The darkness whispered as they fell. “You are mine.”“Your fire was born of me.”“Every flame, every spark, every soul, it all returns here.”The words tore through his mind, not spoken but branded. Jason gritted his teeth, shielding Aria with his body, his fire la
Chapter One Hundred and Twelve: Between Fire and Void
Jason opened his eyes to silence. Not the silence of peace. The silence of absence. No fire. No roar. No storm. No shadow. Only void.He sat up slowly, every muscle screaming, his skin cracked with light. Around him stretched an endless expanse of black glass, fractured and sharp, spreading forever in all directions. Above, no sky, no stars. Only darkness, yawning and absolute. And beside him, Aria.She lay still, her chest rising faintly, her body surrounded by faint silver light, flickering like a candle nearly extinguished.Jason’s heart lurched. He crawled to her, his hands trembling as he lifted her head into his lap. “Aria… Aria, wake up.”No answer. Her lips were pale, her breath weak. Jason’s throat tightened. He had brought her into this. She had leapt into his fire for him, risked everything, no, given everything, and now she was fading.“Please,” he whispered, his voice breaking. His forehead pressed to hers, his tears sizzling as they fell. “Don’t leave me. Not now. Not af
Chapter One Hundred and Eleven: Ashes of the Soul
The light faded. Aria opened her eyes, only to find there was no world left. She stood in a wasteland of fire and smoke, ground crumbling beneath her feet into endless black void.Above her, no sky, only a storm of white and gold flames clashing, tearing holes into reality itself. Jason and the shadow.She could barely make out their forms anymore, their bodies nothing but streaks of light locked in violent collision. Every time they struck, the world itself shook, and pieces of it fell away into nothingness.And each time Jason’s fire flared, more of his body vanished, burning away like paper in a furnace. Aria’s heart raced, her chest heaving. She screamed over the roar of flame:“Jason! Stop, you’ll destroy yourself!”But he didn’t stop. He couldn’t hear her anymore. The shadow’s voice thundered, layered with Jason’s own.“You cannot win. You are breaking. You are ash already.”Jason roared in answer, hurling himself forward, striking with all the force of his unraveling fire. Thei
