When the Storm Speaks
The wind screamed through the Vale as though the heavens themselves were being torn apart.Eryndor stumbled forward, clutching his head. The world tilted, and the light around him pulsed — not with warmth, but with the same cold rhythm that had echoed through his dreams since the Spire first appeared.“Eryndor!” Lyra’s voice reached him through the roar. She caught his arm, grounding him as the pulse surged again.He gasped, eyes wide — and for a moment, they weren’t blue at all. They were black glass, reflecting a lightning storm that wasn’t there.“It’s him,” Eryndor rasped. “He’s… calling something. The Echo’s awake.”---Aria stepped closer, her staff humming faintly. “Can you sever it? The connection?”He shook his head. “It’s not a thread anymore. It’s a current. I can feel what he feels. The storm, the hunger, the… purpose.”He looked up at them, horror flickering in his eyes. “He doesn’t want to destroy the world, Aria. He wants to finish it.”They all stared at him — confused
The Shadow's Design
The storm had not touched the Spire of Dusk for centuries — yet tonight, thunder rolled across its black towers like drums of divine judgment.Lightning flared across the horizon, illuminating the jagged silhouette of the fortress. At its highest balcony stood Arcturus, cloak flaring like torn wings, eyes fixed on the horizon where faint blue light shimmered through the cloudbanks — the pulse of the Vale awakening.He felt it before he saw it.A tremor in the fabric of the world, resonating through the tether that bound him to the boy.“The Voice stirs again,” he murmured. His tone was not fear, nor anger — but recognition.He placed a gloved hand on the obsidian railing. Beneath his touch, the metal hummed, alive with arcane energy.“After all these years,” he whispered, “the song still remembers its other half.”---Behind him, the Spire’s central hall thrummed with energy. Pillars of dark crystal pulsed with violet light and shadow-constructs — soldiers shaped from living echoes —
The Hollow of Creation
The Forbidden Vale was nothing like the maps of old had promised — because it was never meant to be mapped.They descended into it through a narrow gorge, where gravity twisted in on itself. Each step downward felt like walking both forward and backward in time. The walls glowed faintly with silver veins, pulsing in rhythm with their footsteps, as if the valley itself had listened.When they finally reached the floor of the Vale, the air grew thick and luminous. A faint shimmer floated across the ground — not fog, but fragments of light suspended in slow motion.Lyra crouched and reached out to touch one. The moment her fingers brushed it, she gasped and pulled back. “It’s… warm,” she whispered. “Like sunlight trapped in water.”Aria studied the air, her expression darkening. “No. These are memories. Echoes of the world before time began.”Zephyr tilted his head, eyes narrowing. “Then why do they feel alive?”“Because they are,” Aria murmured.---The deeper they went, the more the Va
The Walking Vision
The storm still echoed faintly in Eryndor’s ears, though when he opened his eyes, there was no thunder — only the slow crackle of the campfire and the rhythmic breathing of his companions.The vision had been so vivid, so visceral, that he could still taste the static in the air. Arcturus’s voice, cold and deliberate, lingered like smoke in his thoughts.He’s unravelling, Eira’s voice murmured in his mind, soft and distant. The Echo is reaching him, too. The balance between you grows thin.Eryndor sat up slowly, rubbing his temples. “Then what happens when it breaks?” he whispered.When it breaks… the world remembers everything it was meant to forget.He didn’t understand, but he felt the weight of her words settle like a stone in his chest.---The morning came grey and muted. The sanctuary valley that had felt so safe the night before now seemed changed — the light was duller, the colours subdued. Even the birdsong had vanished.Lyra noticed it first. “The forest feels wrong,” she s
The Mirrors Beneath
The night air in Vaelmir was heavy, humming faintly with unseen energy.None of them truly slept. The reflections they had seen still lingered behind their eyes — warped possibilities that refused to fade.When dawn came, pale and sickly, Eryndor rose first. He stood at the edge of the ruined square, staring toward the shattered towers. The voice pulsed softly within him, a heartbeat of power that wouldn’t be quiet.“You feel it too,” Eira whispered in his mind. “There’s something below the Hall. Something that remembers.”Eryndor’s hand brushed the mark on his wrist. What is it?“The core of the Reflection — a vault where truth was stored. The Eldridians built it to keep the Voice’s memory hidden from those who weren’t ready to bear it.”He turned back to the campfire. “We’re not done here,” he said quietly.Lyra looked up from checking her blade. “You mean the Hall?”“Yes. There’s a chamber beneath it. I can feel it calling.”Zephyr frowned. “Calling how? Because last time something
The Fractured Path
Dawn came reluctantly.The light that bled across the horizon was pale and distorted, painting the world in tones of silver and violet instead of gold. Ash still drifted from the direction of the Citadel, carried by winds that hissed faint whispers through the trees. The air felt wrong — thick, humming faintly with residual magic.Eryndor led the group through the barren landscape in silence. His cloak was torn, his hair streaked with soot, and his mismatched eyes — one gold, one gray-black — caught the dull morning light. The others followed at a distance, weary and watchful, saying little.It was Zephyr who finally broke the silence. “The wind’s wrong,” he muttered, his hand hovering near his staff. “It’s moving in circles. Like it’s… listening.”Thorne grunted. “You think everything’s listening these days.”“Because it is,” Zephyr shot back. “Ever since the Citadel fell, the elements feel different. They don’t respond like they used to.”Aria walked beside him, glancing at the sky.
