Dad?
Valric raised both hands, and from the depths of his chest, the Rift roared.A vortex opened above him — not as wild as before, but focused. Controlled. He reached inside it, drew power, and hurled a spear of pure shadowlight at the Echo’s center.The creature screamed — its thousand eyes turning inward in agony — as the spear tore through its shifting form, pinning it to the charred earth.Brown was on it in a heartbeat. With a cry that sounded like both fury and release, he drove his sword deep into the core of the creature, flames erupting in all directions.The Echo convulsed. It tried to retreat — splitting itself into a thousand smaller shapes — but Clara was already weaving her final spell.A seal of radiant light circled the battlefield. Ancient, divine — it pulsed with the will of the world itself.“By flame and oath,” Clara whispered, “you are banished.”The seal collapsed inward.The Echo gave one final shriek — a sound of endless hunger denied — and vanished in a blink of
The Echo
Valric’s breath came in ragged bursts. The storm of power he’d unleashed still swirled around him, laced with dark lightning and remnants of the Rift. The earth itself groaned under his feet, veins of molten magic pulsing beneath the stone.Brown stood just beyond the circle of destruction—burned, bruised, but unshaken.“I don’t want your pity,” Valric said, his voice low now, almost childlike under the fury. “Or your forgiveness. I want to stop hurting.”Brown’s eyes glistened. “Then let me stand beside you.”“You don’t understand—!” Valric’s voice cracked as another surge of unstable energy flared from his body. “Every breath I take feels like it doesn't belong to me! My skin, my blood—this power—it screams!”He clutched his chest, falling to one knee as the shadows around him spasmed and flared.“I didn’t ask to become this monster,” he hissed. “But they made me one. You left me, and they turned me into this!”Brown dropped his sword.The clatter echoed like a death knell.Then, wi
Decades
Then… he screamed.A burst of chaotic energy surged from him, throwing back friend and foe alike. Obsidian sentries crumbled. Clara shielded her eyes from the shockwave.Brown was blown to his knees—but he smiled.Because he saw what the others didn’t.Valric wasn’t attacking.Valric was fighting himself.The darkness around him began to fracture, like a shell cracking under pressure. Veins of light seeped through.“Get out of my head!” Valric roared, clawing at his temple. “You don’t own me!”The woman in bone recoiled, eyes narrowing.“You… ungrateful wretch—”Valric turned toward her, panting. “Stay… out… of this.”And then—He dropped.Not in defeat.But in choice.Valric descended to the ground, landing hard, knees crashing into dust and stone.His blade clattered beside him.Brown rushed forward—not with sword, but with open arms.“Valric!”But before they could reach each other—The sky ripped open.A new force had arrived.A third player, drawn by the war and the shattering bo
You Are My Son
Brown stared at Valric—his son—who now hovered in the air like a god of wrath.“Valric…” His voice was hoarse, but this time, unwavering. “You’re not a curse. You’re not the legacy of failure.”He stepped forward, firm and unflinching. The ground cracked beneath each footfall.“You’re my son.”Valric laughed. “That’s what you said… right before you left me in the fire.”Brown gripped his sword tighter—the crimson flame blazed along its blade. His voice now thundered through the air.“I searched for centuries—for you! I crossed the Rift, spilled blood and soul—holding on to the hope that you were still alive! And now… you stand before me, calling yourself master of ashes and ruin?”Kael made a move, but Clara held him back. “This isn’t our fight,” she whispered.Valric descended slowly, his feet touching the shattered remnants of the Myrneth bridge. His face no longer held just fury—there was pain behind those eyes. The pain of a child who had waited too long.“If you’re truly my fathe
Flamefall
He reached into his chest—into the Rift within him—and drew out a shard of living fire.Not rage.Not vengeance.But hope.Kael gasped. “The Seed of Ash.”“The what now?” Clara asked.“A remnant of Ysmera,” Valric said softly. “The last spark of the Worldflame.”He handed it to Brown.Together, father and son turned to face Veren Ascended.Beneath them, the mountain groaned.Above them, the storm listened.And from behind them, Xena, Kael, and Clara raised their weapons—followed by every surviving knight, every soul willing to burn for one last chance at dawn.Brown lifted the blade.Valric raised his hands.And as Veren opened his maw of fire, they charged.---Time shattered.In the breath between charge and cataclysm, the world folded inward—heat and silence pressed together until even the gods dared not blink.Brown led with the Flameforged Blade, wreathed in the Seed of Ash. Light surged from it—not wild fire, but focused purpose, a memory of life before war. Before betrayal.Val
The Gate That Broke the Sky
“…That name died with the Gate,” Valric repeated. His voice fractured the air like thunder peeling from a cracked bell. “I am no son of Brown. I am the last flame of Veren.”Brown’s grip tightened on his sword.“I buried Veren,” he said, stepping forward. “And I held you the day you were born. You bled red like the rest of us.”Valric’s laughter echoed through the mountains. “Do you still believe blood makes family? You left me.”“You were taken—!”“No,” Valric interrupted, his voice suddenly calm, razor-thin. “I was chosen. You just weren’t worthy to follow.”From behind Valric, the woman in the bone veil raised her hands. The wind turned black. Crows circled, but they did not caw—they wept ash.Kael stepped forward. “The Veiled One. A seer of the First Rift.”He spat to the ground. “She’s not guiding him. She’s using him.”The moment Kael spoke, a blast of sound struck the cliffs. Several knights were thrown backwards, shields crumpling like paper.“Enough talk,” Clara growled, igni
