- Chapter - 36 - Shadows in the Halls
The fortress pulsed with life.Kai could feel it in the marrow of its bones—the halls breathing, the torches burning brighter, the walls humming with mana. Skeletal patrols clicked steadily across the corridors, shields and spears at the ready. They no longer resembled a scattered army of forgotten dead. Now, they were organized. Disciplined. His.Alice walked at his side, silver-blue eyes scanning every shadow. Drakar followed behind in his half-human form, the sweep of his tail rattling against the floor. The sheer presence of the dragon general made the skeleton soldiers step aside with instinctive reverence.Kai stopped at a high balcony overlooking the fortress courtyard. The bone guardians patrolled like clockwork, and below them, waves of skeletal soldiers drilled in formations under Drakar’s command. Each line moved with precision, shields locking in place, spears thrusting in perfect unison.“They’re improving fast,” Kai muttered, gripping the railing.Drakar’s deep rumble ec
-Chapter - 35 - Fractured Paths
The fortress had begun to breathe again.Kai could feel it through the throne, the way its mana pulsed in rhythm with his heartbeat. The walls no longer seemed cold and abandoned. The bone-fire torches burned with vigor, casting long shadows down the corridors, and the once-silent halls echoed faintly with the steady march of skeletal patrols.Outside, the tide of skeletons that had risen from forgotten graves had reached the fortress walls. They gathered in orderly lines, silent but vigilant, their sockets glowing faintly.Kai stood at one of the high windows, watching the horizon. Beyond the crimson mist, mountains stretched jagged like fangs. The wasteland no longer felt empty—it felt alive, waiting for him to command it.Alice approached quietly, her half-human form casting a pale glow in the firelight. “The fortress responds well to you, Master. Patrols have taken to the walls. Drakar has begun training some of the stronger skeletons into specialized units. Soon, your army will b
-Chapter- 34 - The Brothers’ Divide
The throne room’s bone-fire torches had dimmed to a steady glow, but Kai did not sit long upon the throne. The fortress pulled at him, each shadowed hall whispering with secrets, each sealed chamber waiting for its new master.He rose, the ring on his finger pulsing faintly, and gestured for Alice and Drakar to follow. “We’ll see what lies deeper inside. If this place is truly mine, then I need to know every corner of it.”Alice bowed her head, her pale hair falling forward. “As you command.”Drakar snorted, his massive form rippling with restrained power. “Good. The fortress is not merely stone. It remembers. But it must be walked again to wake fully.”The three of them moved down a long, skeletal corridor, torches igniting one by one as they passed. The first chamber they entered was vast, with a black marble table stretching across its center.Maps lay etched into the stone, glowing faintly with residual mana. Regions of the portal world spread across its surface—mountains, rivers,
-Chapter- 33- Echoes of Power
The throne room was quiet now, its silence broken only by the steady rhythm of skeletal boots against stone as patrols spread throughout the fortress. The once-abandoned citadel pulsed with life, bone-fire torches glowing along the vast halls.Kai stood with Drakar and Alice before the throne, listening as the dragon-general’s voice faded into the stillness.But Kai already knew the tale. Alice had told him during one of their quiet moments her silver-blue eyes distant, her tone haunted.She hadn’t been there when the fall came.She had been on a mission.“The demon,” she had told Kai. “It slithered between races, twisting them. It stole from the elves—an ancient relic of life—and made it seem as though the Skeleton King had taken it. The elves demanded its return. He told them he had no part in it… but they did not believe him.”Her voice had cracked that night, softer than he’d ever heard. “The humans, the dwarves, even the beastkin joined the elves. They marched together and came h
-Chapter- 32- The One
The chamber was silent once more, though the echoes of the skeletal army’s salute still hung in the air. Kai flexed his fingers, feeling the weight of the ring embedded in his skin. The pulse of the fortress beneath him was unmistakable—walls, wards, and every soldier attuned to his presence. He could feel it all, the army, the guardians, even the Warden slowly reconstructing itself in the distance.Alice’s eyes flickered with approval. “Master… the fortress responds to you. Every soldier, every warded wall… they are yours to command. Even the guardians of the gates—once thought immovable—will follow your orders.”Kai took a deep breath, walking to the edge of the dais. From here, he could see the throne hall stretching into shadowed corridors, the floor tiles etched with runes that whispered as he stepped near them. The army moved subtly, adjusting, waiting for his signal, and even Drakar—the half-dragon general—stood alert, wings folded, tail coiled around his feet, horns faintly gl
-Chapter- 31- Inheritance of the Throne
The battlefield lay silent, glowing with the aftershocks of dragon fire and bone flame. The Warden’s remains crumbled into dust, scattering across the crimson floor until nothing remained but the echo of its collapse.Kai leaned heavily on the Bloodwind Blade, his breath ragged. Sweat ran down his brow, and though his body trembled, his eyes never left the towering form of his new general.Drakar.The dragon loomed above them, skeletal wings folding slowly as the flicker of death-fire dimmed in his hollowed chest. The flames in his skull burned steady, but something about them shifted—calmer, sharper. His massive form bent low, bowing before Kai, and then… it began to change.Bones cracked and shifted with the sound of grinding stone. Blackened scales rippled outward, melting into skin that glowed faintly with pale-blue light. His massive claws retracted, reshaping into human-like hands. The wings folded and collapsed, shrinking until they became tattered remnants of a cape that trail
