2025-02-18 00:48:44Mason didn't utter any word, he simply made his way into the room and laid down on the floor to sleep. Aurora gazed at him in disgust before resuming her chat with John on the phone. The duo chatted and laughed nonstop, and all Mason could do was lie there with his pillow covering his head, he had to deal with the problem of not having any magic wand nor spell and his girlfriend cheating on him.
The morning sun rose up, and Mason woke up from his sleep. He stood up from the floor he slept on and glanced at the bed where Aurora could be seen still fast asleep.
He made his way into the bathroom and had a quick shower before getting dressed and heading downstairs.
Mason made his way to the fridge and picked up a bag of chips and a bottle of juice before heading out and making his way towards the bus station. While heading to the bus station, Mason munched on his chips and took a sip from a juice.
The only reason why he was headed to the news company was to submit his resignation letter to John. He couldn't afford to be humiliated by John and get thrown out once more, so he decided to resign before that happens. He plans on finding a way to get his magical abilities and wand.
Mason took a bus that took him straight to the company. He got off the bus and made his way into the building.
"Morning, Mason!" Zoey who has been awaiting his arrival approached him after catching a glimpse of him walking in, but Mason didn't respond as he kept walking forward with his face bright red in anger and a piece of paper in his hand.
"Mason, are you okay?" Zoey inquired, worried for her friend. The way Mason was acting right now, she could tell something bad happened back home. Mason didn't still respond as he stepped into an elevator and closed the door before Zoey could get in.
The elevator took him straight to the top floor and he stepped out and walked towards John's office. Without knocking, Mason barged into the office and saw John sitting comfortably on his chair.
"Mason? I was just about to call you, bro." John spoke up after catching a glimpse of the man that just walked in. "You assaulted me, the Manager yesterday, and I am sure you know I can't let that slide. So that's why I..."
Before John could finish his words, Mason tossed a letter on his desk with an emotionless look. John gazed at Mason's face before shifting his gaze back to his desk and picked up the letter.
He glanced at it and read through it.
"A resignation letter?" John muttered.
"Yes, a resignation letter. I just saved you the stress of firing me." Mason responded as he turned around and attempted to leave, but John's words stopped him.
"A poor boy with such a bad attitude and confidence. Interesting. Let's see how far this confidence will get you." John bellowed. "You are just good for nothing, no job, no money, no magical abilities, no wand." He added.
"Watch it!" Mason snapped, making John flinch in fear and kept quiet, afraid that yesterday's incident might end up repeating itself, and he was still healing from Mason's punches.
Mason glared at him before turning around and exited the office, leaving John alone in the office with a grin on his face.
He took out his phone and swiftly dialed Aurora 's number, informing her about Mason's resignation.
Mason took the elevator and began to exit the building, but Zoey rushed over to him and blocked his path.
"What's the matter, Mason? Tell me. You are actually scaring me." Zoey demanded in concern.
"I just resigned." Mason informed with a smile that was clearly not from his heart.
Hearing the words of Mason, Zoey's eyes widened in shock.
"Why? What happened?!" Zoey blurted out in shock.
"It's a long story which I am clearly not ready to narrate right now." Mason responded, sadness evident in his tone.
Zoey saw the saddened expression in Mason's eyes and knew it would be best to not push further and respect his decision.
"So, this is goodbye?" Zoey asked calmly.
"No, not at all. We can still hangout like we used to from time to time in school. I just need to focus on getting my magical powers. Don't worry, nothing will change between us and we will still be friends." Mason placed his arms on Zoey's shoulder and assured. Zoey nodded and smiled.
Mason then bid her farewell and exited the place as he made his way back home.
Mason arrived back in the mansion and made his way in. Entering inside, Mason found Aurora waiting for him furiously in the living room.
"You are finally back, you worthless boy!" Aurora retorted the moment she caught a glimpse of Mason walking in.
Mason stood there in bewilderment after hearing the words of Aurora and struggled to understand the reason behind her words.
Mason was truly stunned by the words he was hearing from his wife.
"You aren't just worthless but also lazy! You are poor and jobless and even useless to the magic community!" Aurora remarked, glaring at Mason in disdain and disgust.
"Just drop the pretense already! You think I don't know you told your lover to fire me first thing in the morning?" Mason finally spoke up, unable to take Aurora 's deception.
"Stop making things up to make me look like the villain here! You resigned at your own free will, why will I want to make John fire you? You think John has the time to waste on you, you know what, it is over between us, I'm leaving your house and please when you see me in school, don't ever try to call my name" Aurora said angrily and left Mason's small house after breaking all ties with him.
Mason was shocked at the height of her deception and realized she only wanted to humiliate him with John's termination.

Chapter 128
The broken earth still smoked from the last clash, and the cries of the wounded hung faint in the air. Yet no one moved. No one breathed. Every soldier, every priest, every king, all stared at the figure of black fire that had stepped from the east.It was not whole. It was not finished. Yet it stood tall, crowned in flame, its body shifting like smoke made flesh.And when it spoke, the world shivered. “You cannot kill what is not finished.”The words slid into every ear like knives. Men cried out, clutching their heads. Some dropped their swords, stumbling back. Others turned and ran, their screams tearing across the field.The kings shouted, their voices desperate. “Hold the line!” “Stand, you fools!” But their words carried no weight. Fear moved faster than command.Priests fell to their knees, chanting broken prayers. Some wept, some tore at their robes, others stared at the shadow with glassy eyes, whispering, “It is the end. It is the end.”The line buckled. The army was breaki

The drums did not stop. All through the night, they beat. Slow, heavy, endless. Each sound rolled across the valley like thunder, rattling armor, shaking bones.When dawn broke, the horizon burned black. The sky glowed as if it had been cut open, spilling fire darker than coal. From that fire, shapes began to march.The shadow host.Soldiers rose from their blankets, their eyes hollow with no sleep. They gripped spears and swords with trembling hands. Some prayed aloud, whispering the names of gods. Others kissed small tokens, rings, cloth, bits of home, before fastening armor with pale fingers.The kings argued even now.King Alaric shouted hoarse. “We cannot face this! Pull the banners back! Save the men while we can!”Queen Seraya snarled at him. “If we run, we are already dead. Do you not see? The shadow will chase us to the ends of the world!”Lord Brennar struck the table with his scarred fist. “Enough! The men need leaders, not cowards. If you flee, then flee. But I will stand.
Chapter 126
The march east did not grow easier. Each day the air grew heavier, darker, as if the very sky bent low with dread. The land was sick beneath their feet. Ash drifted over fields where no fire had been. The rivers they crossed ran black, thick as oil, and the priests whispered that the water carried curses.Soldiers grew silent. At first, they marched with songs and cheers. Now they moved with bowed heads, their boots dragging, their voices hushed. Every sound felt swallowed by the land itself.On the seventh day, they found a village burned to nothing. But unlike the others, this one held no corpses on the ground. Instead, the air carried whispers. Faint, chilling voices rose from the ashes, as if the dead still begged for water, for mercy, for life.The soldiers froze. Some clutched their ears, others fell to their knees. A priest cried out, “The shadow binds their souls! This is Vazquez’s work!”Mason stood in the center of the ruin, silent, his silver eyes scanning the ash. His s

The messenger’s words still hung in the tent like smoke. “The east burns. Vazquez’s remnants gather. The shadow is not dead.”No one moved. The kings sat frozen, their crowns heavy on their heads, their eyes wide and pale. The generals stared at the messenger as though the words themselves were poison.It was Queen Seraya who spoke first. Her voice was low, sharp as a knife. “Then all our arguments mean nothing. If the shadow marches, none of us can stand alone.”King Alaric snarled, his hand clenching the table. “And you would put us all under him?” He jerked his chin toward the camp outside. “That… creature who walks in fire?”“Creature or not,” said Lord Brennar, his scarred hands steady, “he is the only one the men will follow now. You know it. I know it. Deny it if you wish, but the fire has already crowned him.”The tent erupted again. Voices clashed, curses flew, pride and fear filled the air like smoke, then the flap opened, and Mason entered.He did not storm in. He did not s

The fire shuddered. The great column of flame, tall as a tower, trembled as though it would tear itself apart. Sparks burst in every direction. The heartbeat thundered, faster, stronger, rattling armor and splitting stone.Men screamed. Women wept. Some fell to their knees, pressing their foreheads into the ash. Others stumbled back, hands over their faces, crying that the fire would consume them all.The priests raised their arms higher, their voices shrill. “The Saint is here!” they shouted. “The Flame Eternal rises!”But even their cries cracked with fear, for the fire shook like a living beast ready to break free.The column of fire began to fold inward.At first it sank slowly, as if collapsing under its own weight. Sparks spiraled down, drifting like burning snow. The glow dimmed to gold, then to red, the edges shrinking smaller and smaller.A whisper spread through the crowd. “It’s fading. It’s over. He’s gone again.”Some soldiers sobbed in despair. Others sagged in relief, b

The altar was gone. In its place stood fire. A column of flame towered from the earth, white at its heart, gold at its edges, sparks falling like embers of a forge. The light blinded the valley, brighter than sun, searing the eyes of all who looked upon it. Heat washed over the battlefield, heavy and suffocating.The heartbeat shook the ground again. Once. Twice. Steady, louder, stronger. Men fell to their knees, some in awe, others in terror. Priests shrieked and wept. Kings shielded their faces with their cloaks. Soldiers cried out to gods old and new. The flame pulsed. Shadows leapt and twisted across the broken stones. For an instant, shapes seemed to move inside the fire. One priest cried out, his eyes wide and wet. “I see him! The Saint walks with wings of fire!” He tore at his robe, beating his chest with bloody fists. “Bow! Bow before the Flame Eternal!”Another priest laughed, wild and broken. “No! Look! A crown of light rests upon his brow. He is the king of fire, ruler o
