Chapter 98
Aurora’s breath came in short, broken gasps. She lay on the scorched ground, her body weak, her flames flickering like dying embers. Her skin was burned, her arms bleeding, her throat dry from screaming. She forced her eyes open.The Root of Souls was gone. Where the massive blackened tree had once stood, there was only emptiness, a hollow, endless pit stretching downward into nothing. The walls of the cavern still trembled, cracks spreading like spiderwebs, and Mason… Her heart squeezed painfully. He was gone too. Not even his fading silver glow remained.Aurora’s hand trembled as she reached toward the empty space, her voice a hoarse whisper. “Mason…”No answer came. Only silence. Her tears streamed down her face, dripping onto the scorched floor. She curled into herself, clutching her arms tightly. Her whole body shook. “I did it,” she whispered. “I chose. But why… why does it feel like I lost everything?”At first, all was quiet, then, whispers. Aurora froze, lifting her head s
Chapter 97
The flames burst forward like a storm. They swallowed Vazquez’s jagged body, wrapping him in searing heat. His scream tore through the hollow, high and broken, like glass shattering in the dark. His shadow wings burned away, fragments of blackness crumbling into ash, but Aurora’s fire did not stop at him.It poured into the Root of Souls, rushing up its trunk, climbing its branches, sinking into every crack. The great tree shuddered violently, its roots tearing through the ground as millions of voices screamed together. “Child of fire! You cannot carry this! You will burn forever! Stop before it is too late!Aurora’s body shook, her flames burning hotter and hotter. Her skin blistered, her throat raw from screaming. She pressed both hands against the bark, forcing her fire deeper.“I won’t stop!” she cried, her tears vanishing in the heat. “I won’t let him rise again!”Through the flames, Vazquez staggered forward. His body was half-gone, his grin twisted, his silver eyes dimming. B
Chapter 96
Aurora’s flames roared out of her, brighter than they ever had before. They were wild, violent, and desperate. They wrapped around her arms, her body, her hair, burning so hot the air cracked. She screamed as she hurled them forward, not at Vazquez, but at the blackened trunk of the Root of Souls.The great tree shuddered. Its roots twisted, groaning as cracks spread across its bark. A chorus of millions of voices cried out, echoing in the hollow. “Child of fire! Stop! End us and you end yourself! No return, no memory, only silence!”Aurora’s tears streamed, her throat raw from screaming. Her fire burned harder. “Then so be it! If it’s the only way to stop him, then I’ll burn everything!”A shriek cut through the fire. Vazquez lunged from the shadows, his jagged wings scraping across the hollow. His clawed hand slashed toward Aurora’s chest, aiming for her heart.She barely turned in time, flames bursting from her shoulder. The claw tore through her arm instead, blood spraying into t
Chapter 95
Aurora’s scream tore through the endless white. Her hand still reached out, grasping at nothing. The warmth of Mason’s fingers had already vanished. Only the faint shimmer of silver sparks floated where he had been, fading quickly into the empty void.“No… no, please…” Aurora’s voice cracked. She stumbled forward, her knees slamming into the unseen floor beneath her. “Don’t leave me here… don’t leave me alone.”Her tears fell, disappearing before they touched anything. There was no ground, no sky, no sound, only endless white stretching forever. The silence pressed on her chest like chains.She curled into herself, clutching her arms tightly. The ember of her fire inside her heart was weak, flickering, as though it might go out at any moment. “Mason…” she whispered again, her voice trembling.But there was no answer. At first, she thought the silence would crush her. But then, faintly, she heard it, whispers. Her head jerked up, eyes wide.Figures appeared around her. Faint, ghostly
Chapter 94
The light burst outward, swallowing the ruins in a blinding wave. Aurora shielded her eyes, fire flickering instinctively around her arms. But even through the blaze, she felt it, the heat, the pressure, the unbearable weight of Mason’s power flooding the broken world.When the light finally dimmed, she lowered her arms. Her heart froze.Mason was standing at the center of the ruins, his body trembling, his silver eye blazing brighter than it ever had before. The glow spread through his veins like molten silver, crawling across his skin.Every breath he took seemed to tear him apart. Aurora stumbled forward, panic gripping her chest. “Mason, stop! You’ll burn yourself away!”He glanced back at her. His brown eyes were filled with pain, but also with a strange, calm determination. “Aurora… this is the only way.”She shook her head violently, tears spilling down her cheeks. “No! Don’t say that! There has to be another way!”But Mason turned back toward Vazquez. The shadow-monster stag
Chapter 93
It was the kind of silence that felt alive. Not peaceful. Not empty. Heavy. Crushing. Aurora’s eyes fluttered open. She was lying on her back, staring at a sky that wasn’t sky at all.Above her stretched endless fragments, pieces of silver chain, shards of broken glass, drifting slowly through the air like dust. Each shard glowed faintly, then dimmed, falling into nothingness. Her body ached as if every bone had been shattered and put back together. Her fire, usually warm in her chest, was only a faint ember now. She tried to move. Pain ripped through her ribs, forcing a sharp gasp. But she rolled onto her side, ignoring the agony. Her eyes widened. “Mason…”He was lying a few feet away. His body was limp, his shirt torn and soaked in blood. The glow of his silver eye was faint, flickering weakly like a dying star.Aurora crawled to him, dragging her broken body across the cracked ground. She gripped his hand tightly, tears spilling down her face. “Mason, please… wake up.”For a lo
