HE WHO CARRIES FIVE BLOODS
"Stay close, keep your thoughts guarded, and if this sanctum attempts to convince either of you that emotional suffering is somehow character development, I would strongly recommend ignoring it." Ezra’s voice echoed lightly through the immense silver-black corridor as his spectral form drifted several feet ahead of Christian and Georgia, though despite the humor laced through his words, there was an unmistakable edge of caution beneath them now, one that neither Christian nor Georgia failed to notice.The deeper they ventured into the Veilborn sanctum, the more the air itself seemed to resist them.It was no longer merely heavy.It felt aware.Ancient vaulted passageways stretched endlessly before them, their walls forged from blackened stone and blood-metal alloys unlike anything found in ordinary construction, while pulsing crimson veins ran beneath the surfaces like preserved circulatory systems, carrying unstable spiritual energy throughout the dead fortress.Shattered containmen
CONVERGENCE HEIR DETECTED
"If either of you triggers another ancient death mechanism before we even reach the sanctum gates," Georgia said with a deeply unimpressed expression as she carefully stepped over a jagged crimson-veined fracture pulsing faintly beneath the corrupted valley floor, "I would like it clearly documented that I am spiritually bound under protest." Christian, who had been walking slightly ahead with Mary’s silver-inlaid blade drawn and his attention fixed sharply on the increasingly hostile terrain surrounding them, cast her a dry sideways glance."That feels unnecessarily accusatory," he replied. "This Ezra might do something like that but not me for sure." Ezra, naturally floating backward several feet in front of them with all the inappropriate confidence of someone not burdened by physical mortality, immediately looked delighted."Ah," he said brightly, "we’ve officially reached the stage of cursed expedition where Georgia begins questioning her life choices." Georgia sighed."I bega
DEFINITELY BOTH
"Try not to look so deeply offended," Ezra remarked with infuriating ease as he floated several feet ahead of Christian and Georgia through the cursed lower ridges of the Dark Mountains, "because it might not change anything however your mood will be unnecessarily spoiled." His spectral form gliding above fractured crimson-veined stone while black mist coiled unnaturally around dead terrain below, "I understand that destiny, ancient prophecy, and overwhelming burden are inconvenient, but your expression currently suggests you are personally insulted by the mountain’s existence.... If the mountain take it personal, both of you also might join me.""Aren't we already with you? What's there to join you?"Georgia clarified it for Christian, "he meant not about just joining him in the mission Chris, he meant we will join him as another two ghosts."Listening to her, Christian glared at Ezra, "you wish!"Ezra rolled his eyes with a laughter and started floating once again. "Whether you wis
I STAND BY IT
"Remind me again," Christian said with a long-suffering sigh as he pushed aside a twisted silver-black branch that seemed almost personally offended by his presence, "why exactly I agreed to leave behind functioning civilization, stable architecture, and relatively predictable danger… only to voluntarily march toward what appears to be the cursed birthplace of every bad decision in recorded history?"His voice carried its usual dry calmness, but there was enough deeply rooted disbelief beneath it that even Georgia, who had been carefully studying an enchanted route map while navigating the narrowing wilderness path, could not fully suppress the faint laugh that escaped her.That sound alone immediately earned her a sharp glance."You laughed," Christian accused flatly.Georgia straightened her expression with suspicious speed, though the faint curve of her lips remained."I did no such thing," she replied with far too much false innocence. "Chris, I understand you're frustrated becaus
ARE YOU READY?
"The Dark Montains we have discussed about earlier," Georgia looked at Christian, "it is the same place where relic is sealed." Christian mumbled quietly, "if you don't take my words offensively, can I know why that particular place? What exactly made you choose that place?""That relic is no ordinary relic, so it is supposed to be where blood, betrayal, and ruin were first woven together… only in that place, the dark creatures or those people belonging to dark sect cannot take advantage of." The elder gave an answer hoping that would make Christian's doubt would get eased.Christian immediately understood about whom the elder is talking about, "Like... Veilborn.""Exactly, in order to keep that relic out of their reach, it was sealed deep within the Dark Mountains, beneath the shattered remains of the original Veilborn sanctum...." The elder’s voice resonated through House Eldewyn’s Hall of Inheritance with such solemn force that even the sacred silver flames burning along the cham
WHERE IS THE RELIC?
"Once I combine all five pieces… I’ll finally reach her."Christian’s voice, though calm as always, carried something softer beneath it as he stood within one of House Eldewyn’s ancient silver-lit inner courtyards, where sacred fountains shimmered beneath moonlight and spiritual herbs glowed faintly along marble pathways, creating an atmosphere almost too serene for the storm his journey had truly been.Yet for this brief moment, he allowed himself hope... A real hope.The completed fragments he had gathered so far rested securely in his hand, their faint silver-crimson glow reflecting softly against his fingers as he looked down at them, not merely as relics or burdens, but as the final bridge between himself and the mother he had spent years longing to find.Georgia stood beside him in silence, her silver-blue robes shifting lightly in the evening breeze, though her expression subtly changed as she listened to him.Because unlike Christian, she knew.Or at least, she feared the trut
