The Sparks of Loyalty
The atmosphere in the room shifted as Brown and Clara exchanged a knowing glance. Their entrance wasn’t just a formality—they carried an aura of determination that added weight to the already tense chamber.“Danniel,” Brown said firmly, bowing his head slightly, “we stand with you. Whatever games of power these men try to play, they’ll have to go through us first.”Clara stepped forward, her eyes blazing with fire. “You’ve carried this burden alone for too long. The world knows you as the War God, but we know you as the man who never abandoned his people, even when everyone else turned their back. We’re here—not because we have to, but because we choose to.”Danniel's gaze softened, just slightly. Their words stirred something deep in him. For a moment, the chains of loneliness that had wrapped around his heart for years seemed to crack.But the generals weren’t impressed.One of them scoffed loudly. “So what? A few loyal dogs at your side? Do you think that changes the fact that this
The Fractured Pact
The ground tore open with a deafening crack, swallowing the edge of the path in a spray of rock and black fire. Brown barely managed to grab the cart’s frame with one hand, the other clutching the starlight shard.The Shadowcaster descended into the rift like a phantom, cloak billowing, its faceless visage turning toward him. The air around it warped—light dimming, heat bleeding away.“Brown!” Clara’s voice rang out, strained but fierce. She sprinted through the chaos, slicing down a rider who got in her way. Eva was already moving toward him, her hands weaving sigils in the air, her white magic flaring brighter against the gloom.The Shadowcaster lifted a hand. The spectral beasts surged upward again—this time larger, faster, their fangs dripping with shadows that hissed when they touched the ground.Brown tossed the shard to Eva. “Keep it safe!”“You’re insane!” she shouted back.“Been told that before.”Clara skidded into place beside him, back-to-back. “You cover high, I’ll carve
Down the Slope
The meeting room was small, windowless, and dimly lit, the hum of an old ceiling fan the only sound as they filed in. Dann took the head of the table, Brown leaned casually against the far wall, and Clara and Eva ended up sitting directly across from each other, like two opposing queens in a game neither intended to lose.Dann cleared his throat. “We’ve confirmed the convoy carrying the second fragment will cross through the Dusk Pass in two days. Security is heavier than we anticipated—triple guard rotation, aerial scouts, and…” he glanced at Brown, “…they’ve brought in a Shadowcaster.”Clara’s brow furrowed. “A Shadowcaster? That means Varek’s anticipating us.” She leaned forward slightly, her tone crisp. “We’ll need diversionary teams on both flanks, and someone who knows how to counter dark wards.”Eva smirked faintly. “Or someone who can bypass them entirely. Which—” she looked at Dann, not Clara—“I’ve already arranged. You don’t need to split forces.”Clara’s eyes narrowed. “You
About Dave
Brown and Clara arrived at the mansion just as the tension between Jeremy and Dann was thick enough to slice with a blade. The sound of their hurried footsteps echoed in the grand hallway before they appeared at the doorway—Brown, his soldier’s posture rigid, and Clara, her eyes scanning the room like a hawk.“Dave,” Brown’s voice was deep, commanding attention without trying. “What’s going on here?”Jeremy’s smirk twitched, but he didn’t look away from Dave. “Ah, perfect timing,” he said with false cheer. “Looks like the cavalry’s here. Or maybe… the audience.”Clara crossed her arms, unimpressed. “We heard enough from the hallway to know you’re trying to stir trouble again, Jeremy.” Her tone was sharp, protective of Dave.Jeremy chuckled low. “Protective little friends you have here, Dave. Cute.”Brown stepped forward, closing the distance between them with deliberate slowness. “You don’t want to test my patience, Jeremy. I’ve heard the rumors. I know you’ve been poking around place
When the Boy Spoken
The world held its breath.In temples carved into cliff sides, in ruins buried beneath desert sands, in the crystal monasteries of the North — they heard it.A voice.No, not a voice — a commandment.Aetherion, kneeling in the void, trembled as the sound surged from his mouth. It wasn’t in any known tongue, yet all who heard it understood.“Wake.”And far above, reality answered.In the Forbidden NorthA slumbering mountain cracked.Not from earthquake — but from stirring.Beneath its peak, the Thirteenth Gate shuddered. The silver chains that bound it hissed with steam. One broke.An ancient guardian — a creature of living frost and flame — opened its eyes for the first time in ten thousand years."The Voice… has returned.”At the Edge of the Red ForestA woman in white, blindfolded with threads of starlight, dropped her goblet.Blood-red wine spilled over her altar.The High Seer of Ellvyr collapsed, her body twitching in seizure, before rasping a name not heard since the first gods
Deep Within the Void
The first of the Dragon-Sworn.“She lives inside me still,” Vhorran said, tapping his chest where a shimmer of gold flickered under his skin. “And sometimes… she dreams of finishing the war.”Clara didn’t speak for a moment.Then: “Can she still hear the child?”Vhorran paused. His gaze sharpened.“Yes. And she’s afraid.”Lysandros stood, suddenly tense. “Why?”Vhorran’s voice dropped to a whisper.“Because something older than her... older than all of us... is whispering through him.”Meanwhile, beneath the SanctuaryAetherion stood before a cracked mirror.But his reflection was smiling before he was.“You’re not me,” he whispered.“No,” the reflection said, eyes like liquid night. “I’m what’s been left behind.”It reached toward the glass.And the mirror shattered.The shards of the broken mirror glistened on the floor like ice, each one humming with a low, hungry sound. Aetherion didn’t move. He simply stared at the space where his reflection had stood — where it had spoken back.
