Chapter 803
Fredrick knelt on Chance's other side, his ancient remedies clutched in his hands, his eyes closed in silent prayer.And Chance gasped as his eyes fluttered open.He looked up at them—at Wilfreda's tear-streaked face, at Christopher's red-rimmed eyes, at Fredrick's trembling hands—and smiled weakly."Did we win?" he whispered.Wilfreda let out a sob—but this time, it was a sob of relief. She threw her arms around him, holding him tight."You're alive," she wept. "You're alive, you're alive, you're alive."Christopher sat back on his heels, his body trembling with exhaustion and relief. He wiped his eyes with the back of his hand, a shaky laugh escaping his lips."You scared the hell out of us," he said.Chance managed a weak grin. "Sorry about that."***The days that followed were a blur of recovery, celebration, and quiet moments of grief.The veil had been sealed. Kaelen was gone—returned to the underworld, his time exhausted, his revenge unfulfilled. The Elysian Crossing had ended

The stone lay on the floor, still intact despite the holy water. The flames had died down, but the symbols still pulsed faintly—weaker now, but still alive. Everyone stood frozen, staring at it."Who picks it up?" Wilfreda asked.No one answered.The stone was dangerous—they all knew it. But they also knew they couldn't leave it here.Before anyone could decide, the temperature in the room dropped.The lights flickered. The air grew thick, heavy with something dark and ancient.And then—Kaelen appeared.He wasn't the calm, calculating figure they had faced before. He was consumed by rage—a fury so intense it seemed to distort the air around him. His black eyes blazed with fire. His hands crackled with dark energy."You destroyed my stone," he hissed. "You think you can stop me? You think you can win?"He unleashed his power.The exhibit hall erupted in chaos—glass shattering, artifacts flying, the very walls trembling. Chance, Wilfreda, and Fredrick were thrown back, crashing against

"Courtney, I need you to think carefully. When did you first notice the mark? And where were you before that?" Chance asked, as an unusual thought settled within him.Courtney frowned, her brow furrowing as she tried to remember."It was this morning," she said slowly. "I woke up and it was just... there. But before that—" She paused, her eyes widening. "I was at the university. The archaeology department. I was helping with a new exhibit."Chance exchanged a glance with Wilfreda. "What kind of exhibit?""They just received a new artifact," Courtney said. "An ancient stone. It was donated by an anonymous donor. I was cataloging it, and I touched it. Just for a moment."Wilfreda stepped forward, her heart pounding. "What did it look like? The stone?"Courtney described it—a dark, smooth stone covered in strange symbols. The same symbols that were now appearing on her body.Chance pulled out his phone and called Fredrick, putting him on speaker.Chance pulled out his phone and called Fr
Chapter 800
Maya arrived at the O'Connor estate, her eyes wide as she took in the sprawling grounds, the grand house, the warmth of the family waiting to welcome her.She had never seen anything like it. The gardens stretched out like something from a dream—flowers blooming in every color, ancient trees casting dappled shadows across the lawn. The house itself was magnificent, warm light spilling from every window, the sound of laughter and conversation drifting through the open doors.It didn't feel real. It felt like something out of a story.Julia was the first to greet her, crossing the garden with a warm smile and pulling her into an embrace."Welcome, Maya," she said softly. "We're so glad you're here."Maya felt something she hadn't felt in years: safety. The warmth of Julia's embrace, the kindness in her eyes, the genuine welcome in her voice—it was overwhelming. She didn't know what to say. She didn't know what to do. She just stood there, held by a woman she had just met, feeling more l
Chapter 799
Chance, Wilfreda, Christopher, and Fredrick arrived at the university hospital within the hour after leaving the estate. The matter at hand was of utmost urgency and there was no time to lose.The campus was still reeling from the incident. Students huddled in groups, their faces pale with worry. News vans lined the streets, their reporters broadcasting live updates. Security was tight—the hospital had restricted access to essential personnel only.Chance flashed his O'Connor credentials at the front desk. "We need to see Maya the student that was reported to have collapsed earlier today. It's urgent."The nurse hesitated, then nodded. "She's in room 304. But she's still recovering. Please don't overwhelm her."They found Maya sitting up in her hospital bed, her dark hair spilling over her shoulders, her eyes red from crying. She looked up as they entered, her expression a mixture of confusion and fear."Who are you?" she asked, her voice trembling. "What do you want?"Chance stepped

Bob was stabilized by Fredrick using ancient remedies and the O'Connor family's healing knowledge.Fredrick worked through the night, applying poultices and chanting softly in a language older than time. The family gathered around, watching, waiting, and praying. Wilfreda sat by Bob's side, holding his hand, her eyes fixed on his pale face.Hours passed, the sun rose and then—finally—Bob's eyes fluttered open.He was weak, barely able to speak. But he was alive.Wilfreda sobbed with relief, pressing her forehead to his hand. "You're okay," she whispered. "You're okay."Bob managed a weak smile. "You... you saved me."She shook her head. "You saved me. You threw yourself in front of that blast."He closed his eyes, exhausted. "It was worth it."***The family gathered in the living room, their faces a mixture of relief and exhaustion. Bob was stable, but the danger was far from over. Kaelen was still out there. The veil was still thinning. The darkness was still coming.Fredrick stood
