"Meeting adjourned," High Councilor Morvan announced happily. He stood up and stretched his fat arms. "Commander Vex, go tell your generals to prepare the marching orders. Elara, write the speech for the broadcast crystals. Tell the people we are going to make the Crimson Alliance pay for their crimes.""With pleasure," Elara smiled."Guards," Vex commanded, pointing a heavy silver finger at the back of the room. "Take the old witness down to the cells. Lock him up. We cannot have a crazy old man wandering the streets telling ghost stories. We will deal with him later."The two guards grabbed Caster’s arms again. They hauled him roughly to his feet. They dragged him toward the heavy wooden doors at the back of the chamber.Caster did not fight them. He let his feet drag on the beautiful floor. He felt completely defeated. He had saved the world, but the world did not want to be saved. The world just wanted a new excuse to bleed.The guards pushed the heavy wooden doors open. They drag

"He is the witness, Councilor," Commander Vex explained, looking at a piece of paper on his desk. "The border patrol found him near the ruins. His name is Cass. We brought him here to sign the official report."Elara looked down at Caster. Her cold blue eyes narrowed. "Well, Cass. You are a lucky man to be alive. You will sign a paper saying you saw Crimson Alliance fire-mages near the Tower before it fell. We will give you a hot meal and ten silver coins for your trouble.""I will not sign your lie," Caster said firmly. He leaned on his wooden stick and looked directly into Elara’s eyes. "There were no fire-mages. There was no bomb. It was the Ash Warden."Morvan laughed. It was a loud, ugly, mocking laugh."The Ash Warden!" Morvan laughed, holding his fat belly. "Listen to the crazy old farmer! He believes in the bedtime stories! He probably thinks the moon is made of cheese!"Caster did not smile. He did not blink."It is not a ghost story," Caster said, his voice dropping low. "Th

The doors to the chamber were locked. This was a closed-door, emergency session. The public was not allowed inside."The city is falling apart!" High Councilor Morvan cried out. His voice squeaked in panic. He slammed his fat hand on the dark wood table. "The markets are crashing! The bakers are refusing to bake! The banks are closing! The people think the sky is going to open up and eat them!"Commander Vex crossed his strong arms over his chest. "My soldiers are tired, Morvan. They have been breaking up fights in the streets all night. The people are scared of the dark magic. If we do not give them an answer soon, they will start burning down their own houses.""What do you want me to do?" Morvan whined, wiping his sweaty face again. "The Sage Tower is gone! The greatest magical city in the world was crushed into dirt in ten seconds! We felt the earthquake all the way here! If the Sage Tower can fall, then Glassview can fall too!"Caster sat quietly on his wooden bench. He watched t

The city of Glassview was loud. It was a very rich, very shiny city. It sat fifty miles away from the ruined Sage Tower. It was built on high, green hills. The buildings were made of smooth, polished green glass and bright silver metal. Usually, the city was a place of music, money, and happy people. But today, Glassview was a city of pure terror.Caster Spellbound walked slowly down the crowded street. He wore a simple, rough brown cloak. He pulled the deep hood over his head to hide his face. He leaned heavily on his wooden walking stick. He looked like an ordinary, tired, poor old man. No one knew he was the greatest Archmage in history. No one knew he was the man who had just saved the world from a dark god. He stopped and looked at the center of the street.A giant, floating magical crystal hung in the air. It was a broadcast crystal. The High Council of Glassview used these crystals to share news with the people.Right now, the crystal was flashing with bright, angry red ligh

Chapter 550
When Caster had fought the dark god in his mind, he had taken the sharp, glowing white stylus of his own willpower and carved into his spiritual core. He had burned away the dark, evil ink of the monster. He felt the carving now. Deep inside his quiet soul, the words shone with a soft, warm, gentle light.CASTER SPELLBOUND. His True Name was secured. It was not a boastful, arrogant light. It was just a quiet, unshakeable truth. He knew exactly who he was. He was an old man who had made terrible mistakes, but he was also the man who had given up everything to fix them. He was not a monster. He was not an Existential Hazard. He was just Caster. And that was enough.Caster opened his eyes. He smiled at the small glass vial in his hand. He had not kept the black sigil to worship it. He had not kept it because he wanted the dark power back. He kept it as a trophy. He kept it as a simple, quiet reminder.Whenever he felt tired, whenever he felt like the world was too broken to be fixed,
