I can't wait to indulge in all of this," Andrew remarked with a smile as he strolled along the desolate pavement.He was on his way home, which was nearby, when a group of individuals encircled him. Adjusting his glasses, Andrew peered up and down to ensure his vision wasn't failing him, only to realize that indeed, it was a band of men dressed in black who had surrounded him. They were not just any men; they were imposing figures, their faces bearing the marks of rigorous training."What do you want from me?" Andrew took a step back, already formulating his next move. Though the streetlights illuminated the scene, their faces remained obscured by shadows.Their collective gaze fixated on his finger, and as Andrew followed their line of sight, he immediately grasped the situation."Hand over the ring, or you'll regret what happens next," one of the men in black demanded, closing in on Andrew."You must be mistaken... I have no idea what you're talking about," Andrew feigned ignorance."You think you can defy us?" The man advanced menacingly, preparing to seize Andrew by the neck. However, to his astonishment, Andrew swiftly intercepted, seizing the man's hand and twisting his finger backward.Despite the vast discrepancy in size, Andrew held firm, even adjusting his glasses with a casual demeanor. "Do you honestly believe you can intimidate me?" Andrew's smile never wavered as he continued to exert pressure on the man's finger."What are you all waiting for? Take action!" The man, feeling intense pressure from Andrew, commanded the others to act.They all shifted into different positions, moving in a coordinated manner as they prepared to strike. There were a total of four men, in addition to the man Andrew had immobilized.Using his rubber bag containing all his precious food as both a shield and a weapon, Andrew strategically baited the first assailant. As the second attacker lunged forward with a punch aimed at the first man's stomach, Andrew deftly maneuvered, utilizing the bag to deflect the blow.With a swift twist of his body, Andrew redirected the force of the punch, causing it to land squarely on the first assailant instead. The impact sent the man reeling backward, crashing into a nearby trash can, while Andrew's bag of food remained securely in his grasp, untouched by the chaos unfolding around him."Who would have thought that you guys would end up fighting amongst yourselves?" Andrew remarked casually, his confidence unwavering as he dusted off his hands, the contents of his bag still intact."Now, all of you come at once!"

The End
At the heart of the capital, where the Core Plaza had once been reduced to a crater during Ayra’s siege, a new monument now stood. Twelve statues circled the base, in the ash-stone and bonded with traces of the Ashcore’s living light. Each bore the likeness of one of the fallen. Taylor, Sean, Chuks, Leon, Elsa, Zahara, Isaura, Cassiel and three others. At the very center of the monument, beneath a spire of forged Eden alloy repurposed from Havenborn's original wing, stood two larger statues—Hannah and Andrew, holding hands. Between them, a smaller third statue: a young child, arms raised toward the future. Despite all they'd lost, the city was alive. Wind passed through the plaza quietly. It wasn’t just a place for mourning anymore. It was a place where laughter echoed too—children ran between the statues, playing tag. Vendors lined the edge with food carts, and families gathered in the late afternoon sun. On a low bench facing the monument sat Fredrick. His beard was grayer now,
No More Ashbloods In Captivity
Two months had passed since Ayra fell and the treaty was signed. The wounds hadn’t all healed. But for the first time in years, the Ashbloods could breathe without looking over their shoulders. And now, at the highest peak of the rebuilt city, the Havenborn stood ready. It pulsed with renewed energy, reoutfitted with salvaged Eden cloaking tech, Ashcore fusion rails, and the signature geometric flame crest Andrew had carved himself—two hands holding fire. The boarding platform hissed open. Andrew stepped into the command bridge wearing a fitted black field jacket with silver trim and no rank insignia. His hair had been trimmed, his beard neater, but his face—older. The crew waited in silence. Elsa at her pilot seat, gloves tugged tight. Zahara behind her at engineering, half a torque wrench tucked in her belt. Isaura at navigation, feeding orbital scans into the side display. Fredrick checked the launch clamps while Chuks stood with his arms crossed, impatient as always.
Happy Married Life
**********The rebuilt temple hall stood radiant under the starlit dome of the Ashblood city. Its high archways shimmered with vines of living crystal, glowing faintly in hues of amber and white.Wind stirred through the ivy-wrapped towers overhead. This was a union not just of two hearts, but of bloodlines that had once been hunted, hidden, and feared.Rows of Ashblood citizens and human guests filled the marble aisles. The Twelve—each wearing ceremonial dark silver tunics stitched with the insignia of the Ashcore—stood as silent guards and family alike. Zahara leaned heavily on Chuks’ arm. Fredrick had one arm bandaged, but stood tall. Isaura, Elsa, and Leon were dressed in light gray formalwear,.And at the center, between tall stone flame-spires and under a canopy of woven crystal branches, stood Andrew.He had never worn white before.But today, he did.His white curls had been tied back loosely, and his formal tunic was embroidered with the symbols of unity—Ashcore on one side,
Will You Marry Me?
The broken skyline framed the sun’s descent like a jagged crown. Across the cratered ruins of what had been the Ashblood capital, figures moved slowly—wounded, limping, supporting each other.The dead had been gathered as hundreds of dead bodies were present, Elders, Children and Warriors.A long field had been cleared at the southern base of the city, now filled with rows of bodies wrapped in white ashcloth, their names etched into scorched slate placed at each head. Engineers had rebuilt a single platform in the center—a stage made of black stone and white flame.The city gathered, but Ashbloods and humans the remaining survivors.The Twelve stood in the front, silent, most with injuries still healing. Zahara leaned on a cane. Chuka’s right arm was in a sling. Cassiel still bore dried blood on his collar. Leon hadn’t said a word in hours.And at the heart of them all stood Andrew.He held Sol in one arm—his infant son quiet, his face turned toward the wind.Hannah stood beside him,
The Birth Of A Child
Andrew knelt in the rubble, shoulders hunched, head bowed, silent.Around him, molten ash and crumbling stone lifted into the air, swirling in a slow orbit. His tears hissed as they struck the heat-warped ground.Hannah’s body lay limp a few feet away. Blood seeped into the soil. The life was gone from her eyes.A breath escaped his throat—ragged, primal.Then the scream tore free.“ARRRRGHHHHH!” The ashstorm exploded outward.Reign took a step back, raising a shield instinctively. “Restrain him!”But the Sentinex soldiers were already screaming. Their weapons melted in their hands. The Eden operatives tried to retreat, but the ash caught them mid-motion—wrapping their limbs, invading their mouths and throats.Miriam was the first to die. She aimed a sonic pulse cannon at Andrew—only for the ash to surge through the barrel and reverse it.The weapon exploded in her hands, incinerating her torso.“NO—” Vincent tried to run.Andrew turned toward him—slow, deliberate.White flame seared
My Baby! My Child! They Can't Be Dead!
Ayra's body was gone—vaporized. The people of the Ashblood city lay broken, bleeding, exhausted.Andrew stood with cracked skin and barely a breath left in him. His feet trembled as he leaned against a half-shattered pillar. Hannah stood only a few feet away, supporting herself with one hand on her lower belly, the other reaching for him.Then— they could hear footsteps boots crunching across blackened stone.Andrew blinked through the haze as Reign stepped through the smoke.At first, Andrew felt only relief. “Reign… Ayra’s gone. We did it.”But Reign didn’t smile. His eyes didn’t soften. He kept walking—until he stood in front of Andrew.And then he said quietly, almost gently:“You always were so easy to manipulate.”Andrew’s heart dropped. “What…?”The sky turned dark again as Sentinex drop-pods pierced the clouds, followed by the dark glint of Eden armorsuits marching behind them.Andrew turned—too slowly.“This… isn’t happening... again”Hannah’s eyes widened. “Andrew?”Before
