The chamber shook like it was about to tear itself apart. Aurora staggered, clutching Mason’s limp body to her chest.

His breathing was shallow, his skin still glowing with faint cracks of silver light. She could feel his heartbeat, weak but steady, and she refused to let go.

But above her, towering so high he scraped the burning ceiling, rose Vazquez’s true form. He was no longer a man.

His body was made of pure fire and writhing chains. His head was a skull of flame, his eyes two silver suns.

His arms were endless coils of metal and smoke, each link dripping sparks. When he opened his mouth, the roar that came out was like a thousand storms colliding at once.

Norra raised her sword, sweat dripping down her face. Her knuckles were white as she gripped the hilt. “This is it,” she muttered. “The real fight.”

John, still trembling and pale, forced himself to his feet. His glow was nearly gone, but his eyes burned with stubborn light. “He’s stronger than ever, but he’s also bound here.

    The world was silent. Not the silence of peace. The silence of something broken. Aurora opened her eyes slowly. For a moment, she thought she was blind. Everything was white, not bright, not glowing, just endless pale emptiness. No sky, no ground, only a haze of white stretching forever.Her body was heavy. Her arms ached, her chest burned where the chains had pierced her, and her fire was little more than a spark inside her.She tried to push herself up, but her strength failed. Her hands slipped, and she collapsed back onto the cold white ground. “Aurora…”Her heart skipped. She turned her head weakly, and there he was. Mason. He lay only a few feet away, his body broken and bruised but alive. His silver eyes flickered faintly, his brown one dull with exhaustion. Aurora crawled toward him, dragging her body across the ground. Each movement sent pain shooting through her muscles, but she didn’t care. When she reached him, she pressed her forehead against his shoulder, her tears so

    The chains burned. They coiled around Aurora’s arms and legs like molten iron, dragging her helplessly toward the pillar. Her body writhed against them, but every movement only made them tighten. Her flames flickered wildly, spilling sparks into the abyss, but no fire could burn through the silver links. These chains were not just metal, they were forged from the weight of souls themselves. She screamed, the sound raw and filled with fury. “Let me go!”Her cry echoed through the abyss, swallowed by endless darkness. Above her, Mason hung limply against the pillar, his body wrapped in chains just like hers. His head drooped, his silver eyes closed. But faintly, faintly, he stirred. “Aurora…” he whispered again, his voice so weak it broke her heart.Her tears burned as they slid down her face. “I’m here! Do you hear me, Mason? I’m here!”The chains yanked her higher, pressing her against the pillar beside him. The moment Aurora’s back touched the pillar, a shock surged through her bo

    Aurora woke to silence. Her body ached all over, every bone heavy, every muscle screaming. She lay on a cold stone, her cheek pressed against rough cracks. Slowly, painfully, she pushed herself up.Her hands shook. Dried blood coated her arms, her clothes torn and burned. Her flames were gone, no fire flickered around her fingers, no warmth remained in her chest.She blinked, her eyes adjusting. The ruins were gone. The endless void was gone.Instead, she stood in a strange place. The ground stretched like glass, smooth and black, reflecting her faintly. Above, there was no sky, only a ceiling of swirling silver clouds. Faint whispers drifted through the air, voices of thousands, maybe millions.Aurora’s heart quickened. She knew this was no normal place. This was the edge. The border between life and death. Her voice broke into a whisper. “Mason.”The name echoed faintly, carried on the whispers. Aurora looked ahead and froze.A road stretched before her, but not of stone. It was m

    The silence that followed was not silence at all. It was the sound of glass falling in slow motion, the endless hum of silver energy, the whisper of shadows curling around what was left of the broken world.Aurora lay on the ground, her chest heaving, her arms outstretched into nothing. Her fingers trembled, still reaching for Mason, but he was gone.The chains that once bound them hung limply from her wrist, broken, glowing faintly before fading into dull metal. The light inside them had died.Aurora’s breath caught in her throat. A sob tore from her chest, raw and desperate. “Mason!”Her voice echoed back to her, empty, hollow. No answer came. Her fire, once blazing, dimmed until only faint embers remained around her palms. She curled forward, clutching the broken chain to her chest. Her tears burned against her bloodied skin. “He’s gone,” she whispered, her voice trembling. “He’s gone.”Aurora forced herself to lift her head. The mirror world was no longer a hall of silver and sha

    The ground quaked beneath them. Aurora clutched Mason tightly, her arms wrapped around him as the broken mirror world shook like it was tearing itself apart. Cracks split through the floor, glowing with silver fire. Walls bent inward, shadows stretching like claws.Above them, Vazquez’s form grew larger and darker, his silver eyes burning like moons. His voice thundered through the hall, shaking the very air.“You dare change the price?” he roared. “You dare trade another soul when the mirror had chosen?”Aurora’s chest burned as she glared up at him, her tears still falling from Norra’s sacrifice. Her voice trembled but did not break. “She gave herself for us. You will not take that away.”Vazquez’s laughter boomed, cruel and endless. “Do you think I will allow her pitiful act to stand? Do you think I will let two live when one was meant to vanish? Then you know nothing of me.”The shadows thickened, swirling into monstrous shapes around him. Claws, wings, twisted faces, all screami

    The silver light swallowed everything. Aurora’s scream echoed through the broken world as the shards of the mirror rained down around her. Each shard cut through the air like a blade, glowing with strange power, each one humming with the same cruel promise: Only one survives.She wrapped her arms tightly around Mason, pressing her body over his to shield him. Her heart raced, her fire bursting wildly, spilling across the ground.The first shard struck. Aurora’s fire flared instinctively, catching the shard before it could pierce Mason’s chest. It sizzled, cracked, then shattered into dust, but more shards followed.They fell from every angle, behind, above, from the sides. Dozens of them. Hundreds.Aurora cried out, twisting her body, rolling across the stone floor, dragging Mason with her. The chains rattled painfully as they moved, glowing hot and digging into their wrists. “Stay with me!” she gasped, her voice raw.Mason coughed weakly, blood on his lips. His brown eyes flickered
