I WAS ALWAYS PART OF THIS
"Umm..." Georgia’s expression changed slightly, as if pain, sympathy, something heavier, all together came at a time."There were five," she said softly.Christian’s gaze shifted toward her immediately remembering the term he heard in between all these illusions. "The Original Five." Georgia nodded slowly."Yes." Something inside Christian immediately connected pieces together before she even continued.His voice lowered slightly as he knew the only time she hesitates when it's connected to him. "By any chance are you talking about my family?" Georgia closed her eyes briefly before answering."Yes." Christian’s breathing slowed, "My uncles..."Another nod."My aunts," he added quietly."Yes.""Are you sure?" Georgia’s voice became softer and calmer, "Yes... I've been hearing this since I was young and I'm sure about it." Silence crashed heavily between them, because suddenly, things made sense.The unnatural intelligence, the strange emotional complexity surrounding the Sargent
CHILDREN?
"What's with that expression of yours?" Christian asked quietly through the lower sanctum tunnel as he walked beside Georgia beneath endless layers of blackened steel corridors and fractured ritual walls.The glowing map extracted from the relic still hovering faintly before them while the deeper pathways toward the hidden laboratory stretched endlessly beneath the Dark Mountains like veins leading toward the heart of something rotten.Georgia shook her head calmly though unease filled expression is still there on her face, "nothing!""You’re hiding something from me again."Christian raised an eyebrow as his suspicion towards her didn't gone yet.Georgia’s steps slowed almost imperceptibly, not enough for someone ordinary to notice, but Christian noticed.He always did, especially now.... Especially after everything that had happened inside the sanctum.Ezra floated several feet ahead of them in silence, unusually restrained for once as his spectral gaze continuously scanned the surr
YOU WON'T LOOSE ANYONE HERE AFTER AGAIN
"The deepest laboratory…."Ezra’s voice lowered sharply after looking at what was projected before him, the usual carelessness that constantly lingered around him disappearing almost instantly as his calm eyes remained fixed on the glowing map suspended above the ruined sanctum floor, while beside him, even Georgia’s breathing seemed to still for a brief moment under the unbearable weight of what they were witnessing.Mary’s projection continued."The Veilborn could not fully destroy the relic because its existence became bound to the gate itself. So they turned instead toward convergence research…" Her gaze lowered slightly. "and toward me." Christian’s breathing slowed, something cold settled gradually inside him.Not fear or confusion but resolve.Yet beneath that growing resolve, there was pain.A deep, suffocating kind of pain he had been suppressing ever since this journey began.Because until this moment, despite all the clues, despite the fragments, despite the path Mary her
RESPONDING
"If you value your life, you should retreat now." Christian’s voice echoed through the shattered relic chamber with a terrifying calmness that felt far more dangerous than rage as silver-crimson energy continued surging violently around himThe completed amulet beneath his coat pulsing in direct resonance with the Veil Dominion Relic floating above the fractured sanctum platform while the bodies of fallen Veilborn elites lay scattered across the ruined floor.The remaining Veilborn forces froze instinctively.Not because of the words themselves, but because of the man standing before them.Moments earlier, Christian had still looked human.Now, something about him had changed.Not corrupted or monstrous, but worse and focused.The Veilborn leader slowly straightened from the edge of the fight, his silver-black mask partially cracked from their earlier clash while dark bloodline energy continued spiraling around his hands.Even he... Even someone clearly accustomed to violence and anc
YOU'RE A TERRIBLE LIAR
"You’re unusually quiet all of a sudden... Is everything okay?" Georgia’s voice echoed softly through the dim inner sanctum corridor as she walked beside Christian beneath huge black-silver walls engraved with ancient Veilborn inscriptions, their surfaces pulsing faintly with dormant crimson energy while the deeper chambers ahead radiated increasingly violent relic resonance.Christian did not answer immediately.His sharp gaze remained fixed ahead, calm yet noticeably heavier than before, while Mary’s blade rested loosely in his hand and the completed five-fragment key beneath his coat pulsed steadily against his chest like a second heartbeat.The deeper they moved into the sanctuary, the stronger it became.The relic, and its presence no longer felt distant... It felt mostly aware.After several minutes, Christian finally exhaled quietly. "I’m just thinking." Ezra, floating several feet ahead of them with far less laziness than usual, glanced back briefly."That," he remarked dryl
DON'T SOUND DISSAPOINTED
"Before you even think about stepping through that gate without a plan," Ezra said with a tone that tried to remain casual but carried an unmistakable sharpness beneath it as he hovered just slightly ahead of Christian and Georgia, his gaze fixed on the ancient layered inscriptions covering the inner threshold, "I would like to remind you that this is no longer a place where instinct alone will keep you both alive." Christian stood a step away from the gate, his posture steady, his expression composed, yet his eyes carried a deeper awareness now, something sharpened by everything they had already endured since entering the sanctum."I’m not relying on instinct... I've never done that," he replied calmly. "I’m relying on understanding what it wants."Georgia, who had been studying the inscriptions closely, let out a slow breath as her fingers hovered just inches above the ancient script without touching it, her brows furrowed in concentration."And what exactly do you think it wants?"
