Ch 67 - Three Trails to Astral Crown
Akeel stared at the two messages on his Crystal Link.Cyrus had confirmed that someone carrying an energy pattern strongly consistent with Akeel’s biological twin had recently entered Astral Crown as a private guest under Vaelor Draven’s protection.At the same time, Lone Warden had agreed to arrange private access for Nightshade, but only on one condition.She would accompany him.Akeel did not answer immediately.Reaching Astral Crown was no longer his only problem. He needed to confirm whether Vaelor’s protected guest was truly his twin. He needed to learn what had happened to Joren after the two boys disappeared together. Theron’s hidden medical network was still operating long after Theron supposedly vanished, and Akeel had no idea who controlled it now.Crimson Viper created another problem.If Crimson Viper was truly connected to Astral Crown, Akeel could not allow that investigation to destroy his chance of finding his brother.Each investigation needed to remain separate unti
Ch 66 - Who Sponsored Him
Akeel remained in the old Corvain medical section after ending his private exchange with Cyrus.The newest evidence had changed several parts of the investigation, but it had not answered the most dangerous question. Theron might have survived his disappearance. Someone close to him might have learned how to reproduce his private medical authority. There was also the possibility that Theron had prepared a hidden network capable of continuing his orders after he vanished.Akeel refused to choose among those explanations without proof.“Keep all three possibilities open,” Akeel told Cyrus through the Crystal Link. “I want evidence before we decide who was really giving those orders.”“I’ll trace every surviving use of Theron’s authority separately,” Cyrus replied.Akeel ended the connection and turned back toward Aldric and Elias. He still had not told either of them that Joren had been transferred with his confirmed biological twin. Until the person Theron feared inside the Corvain fam
Ch 65 - Is Theron Alive?
Akeel kept his Crystal Link low enough that Aldric and Elias could not see the screen.“Don’t call him my twin yet. Prove it,” Akeel told Cyrus through the private connection.“I’m comparing the Caldris transfer against every surviving Theron file now,” Cyrus replied.Akeel closed the message.He already had strong reasons to believe the unidentified boy transferred with Joren was Selene’s other son, but strong reasons were not proof. He had spent too much time uncovering records that had been changed, hidden, or deliberately destroyed to accept an answer simply because it fit everything else.Aldric and Elias knew that Theron’s network had protected a companion alongside the two children, but neither man knew that companion was Joren Hale.Akeel intended to keep it that way.Until he discovered who inside the Corvain family Theron had feared, Joren’s identity would remain outside the family investigation.Across the room, Elias continued gathering the materials Cedric had surrendered
Ch 64 - The Medical Seal
Akeel kept his Crystal Link angled away from Aldric and Elias.“Keep Joren out of every report you send to the Corvains,” Akeel wrote to Cyrus.Cyrus replied almost immediately, confirming that anything connected to Joren would remain between the two of them.Akeel closed the message.Until he knew who Theron had feared inside the Corvain family, Akeel would decide how much information that family received. Joren had already become part of the same hidden protection system that surrounded Selene’s two sons, which made exposing his name too dangerous.The protected crystal on the table suddenly flickered.Elias noticed first and raised one hand before Aldric could move closer.“Don’t touch it,” Elias warned.The light inside the old record pulsed unevenly, then began to dim.Akeel quietly activated Supersense.Past the low hum of the medical equipment, he heard a faint repeating vibration inside the crystal housing. The sound was too small for ordinary hearing, but Supersense allowed h
Ch 63 - The Child Is Alive
“Verify it again,” Akeel said. “I don’t want another damaged archive record deciding what we believe.”Cyrus did not sound offended by the caution.“I already compared the surviving authorization with Theron’s protected medical marks,” Cyrus replied. “It is genuine. Joren Hale was moved through Theron’s private medical network.”That confirmed how Joren had been taken from Caldris, but it did not answer the question Akeel cared about most.Why would protecting him require moving Joren years later?Cyrus did not have that answer yet. The damaged record showed that Joren’s transfer had been connected to Akeel’s protection, but it did not explain the reason.Akeel continued walking while considering the possibilities.“Separate the investigation into three parts,” Akeel said. “Find out who authorized Joren’s transfer, where he was taken, and what happened inside Theron’s network immediately before Joren was moved.”“I’ll trace all three,” Cyrus replied.“Do not contact Bram, Hester, Mari
Ch 62 - He Never Gave Me Names
Akeel remained outside the apartment door, his aura suppressed so completely that the three people inside had no reason to suspect he was standing only a few steps away.Bram’s warning remained in his mind. Theron had ordered him to take Akeel and disappear if anyone from the Corvain family ever came looking for a second child.That changed the question Akeel needed answered. He already knew why Bram had accepted him in Havenrock. What mattered now was who Theron had feared enough to hide Selene’s second child from his own family.Inside the apartment, Hester was not ready to let the subject end.“Why was Theron so afraid of the Corvains if he was one of them?” Hester asked.“He never gave me names,” Bram replied. “He only told me that someone inside that family had enough influence to change family records, medical records, bloodline registrations, even information about Selene’s children.”Akeel listened without moving.Everything Bram described had already happened. Selene’s birth
