Chapter 84 - A Different Face
Evelyn drew the prison list closer. “How do you get there without Varyn knowing you're coming?”Kael looked across the table. “I enter as someone he isn't waiting for. First, I find out where he's keeping the others.”Orlan turned over a sheet and drew the road below Black Sky Peak. He marked the city gates, then stopped with his pen above the inner walls.Orlan shook his head. “I can show you the outer streets. Inside the stronghold, too much may have changed.”Kael pointed to a bend outside the city. “The old transit platform?”Orlan added a mark beside it. “Still there when I last passed. Nobody was using it.”Kael had traveled through that platform often enough to remember its exact position. With his core restored, he could reach it using his own travel spell. He explained what he needed: a prepared departure point here, a check of the landing place, and a fixed mark there for his return.Evelyn tapped the drawing. “So you can't simply appear inside the prison.”Kael shook his he
Chapter 83 - The Home He Returns To
Kael kept his hand beside the message stone until its light stopped flashing. He saved Varyn's reply, then played it back while Evelyn recorded it on her phone.Below the platform, the last stretcher reached the passage. One of the medical workers raised a hand to signal that the way was clear.Evelyn put her phone away. “Can you tell where he sent that from?”Kael shook his head. “Not from his voice.”He wanted to follow it anyway. Hearing Varyn speak as though those people belonged to him made it difficult to turn away. Then a patient coughed below, and Kael looked toward the open passage.He left the stone and went down the steps.Drev stood between two officers, his hands secured behind him. Kael kept his spell around the commander's arms as they crossed. On the other side, Bureau officers took charge of him and the captured soldiers already brought through.Evelyn stayed beside Drev until the receiving officers checked his restraints. “Keep him separate from the others. His weapo
Chapter 81 - Bow to the Man You Betrayed
Drev pressed the firing lever.Light burst from the metal ring and swept across the yard. Kael raised a barrier wide enough to cover Evelyn, the officers, and the passage behind them. The blast struck its center with a roar that shook dust from the hall's roof.Kael held his ground. Through the white glare, he could still see Drev standing at the controls above the entrance.Evelyn drew the nearest officer behind Kael's protection. “Is the passage safe?”Kael kept his eyes on the platform. “Yes. Keep everyone behind me.”The blast spread across his barrier without reaching its far side. Beyond the open passage, the people rescued from the yard remained in the school's care. Kael had no need to pull power away from their protection to defend himself.Above him, the rows of power stones dimmed. The weapon's first shot ended, leaving dust hanging over the yard.Drev worked the lever again. Light began moving from the stones into the base of the ring.Kael knew where it would go next. Two
Chapter 81 - He Does Not Go Alone
Evelyn pulled a chair toward the table. “Show me where they're being held.”Kael reached for a sheet of paper, but Elena had not released his other hand. He turned toward her. She was studying his face, then the shoulder he had been careful with for days.He kept his voice low. “It's still me. My mother left that crystal for me. It repaired my core.”Elena touched his arm. “And the rest of you?”Kael rolled his shoulder without pain. “That too.”She let go, though she stayed beside him as he drew the prison yard. He marked the storehouse, the long hall, and the watch posts near the road. His power remained close within his body. Nothing in the teaching room shook or moved unless he wanted it to.Evelyn leaned over the drawing. “How many prisoners?”Kael marked the water trough. “Nine in the yard. More inside, but I couldn't count them. Some need help walking. Drev commands the soldiers. He's already seen me.”Evelyn studied the space between the hall and the storehouse. “Can you prote
Chapter 80 T-he Supreme Core Awakens
Three bolts struck the shell together. White light spread across its surface, hiding the soldiers beyond it for a moment. Kael felt the floor shake beneath his boots, but nothing reached him.Inside his chest, his damaged core began to change.He kept his hands open at his sides. The lesson from the cave was still fresh. This time, he let his mother's spell work without trying to force the power where he thought it should go.Warmth spread through his ribs and down his arms. The narrow paths that had carried his magic widened, repairing as the returning strength passed through them. His shoulder throbbed once. Then the ache he had carried since the school accident eased and disappeared.Kael lifted his arm. There was no sharp pull, no need to stop halfway. He turned his wrist and closed his hand, feeling the same repair spread through the rest of his body.The power was no longer pressing against flesh too weak to hold it.Beyond the shell, Drev ordered his soldiers to strike lower. A
Chapter 79 - The Man They Could Not Replace
Kael arrived in the fifth realm beside an empty well. His mother's crystal dipped below its broken rim, drawing a white spark out of the dark. No guards waited here. He let the fragment enter his chest, kept his hand against the stone until it settled, and stepped into the next crossing.Black Sky Peak was waiting. The warning from the collection yard would reach whoever guarded the pieces still ahead of him.The sixth realm brought him to a shallow cave. Water dripped near the entrance, but the floor at the back was dry. Another fragment rested there, caught in a split stone.This one pulled harder than the others.Kael crouched as it rose toward him. The moment it touched his chest, pain spread beneath his ribs. He drew on his growing reserve, trying to push the returning power into place.The pain sharpened. His hand struck the floor, and the crystal flashed beside his face.His mother's recorded voice filled the cave. “If the joining hurts, stop pushing. Hold your magic still. The
