Chapter 415
This time, Caster let Kael pull him. He took three steps back from the glowing edge of the tear.As soon as Caster moved away, the silver thread snapped.The giant structure inside the Ash Plane, the Crown of Cinders, suddenly stopped spinning perfectly. It wobbled, like a spinning top losing its balance.Without Caster’s direct alignment holding it steady, the massive weight of the Warden’s magic hit the broken node all at once.CRACK!The sound was louder than thunder. It hit them in the chest like a physical blow.The glowing red and purple edges of the tear suddenly folded inward.The world rushed to fix the hole.With a final, violent SNAP, the tear in the air vanished completely.It did not fade away slowly. It was there one second, and gone the next.The black glass dirt settled. The wind died instantly.Absolute silence returned to Erynd’s Crossing.Kael fell to his knees. He was exhausted. His body felt like it weighed a thousand pounds. His head pounded with a terrible heada

Caster did not answer. He stepped right up to the edge of the tear. His toes touched the line where the black glass dirt met the backward, glowing air of the Ash Plane.Caster stared directly into the center of the giant black void.The Warden did not look down at Caster. It could not look. Instead, it aligned with him. It happened in a single heartbeat.Caster took a deep breath. Inside the Ash Plane, the giant Crown of Cinders suddenly stopped spinning. It paused for one second, matching the exact rhythm of Caster’s breathing.Caster exhaled. The Crown of Cinders started to spin again, perfectly in time with his breath.Caster shifted his weight from his left foot to his right foot. As he moved, the entire massive structure of the Warden tilted exactly three degrees to the right.Kael watched this happen from the ground. His mouth fell open."It is copying you," Kael said."No," Caster replied. His voice was strangely calm. The deep sadness was gone. It was replaced by a pure, heavy

The glowing tear in the air did not close. It hung over the broken black stone, right in the middle of Erynd’s Crossing.Kael Dorn and Caster Spellbound sat in the sharp black glass dirt. They were bleeding. They were covered in thick gray ash. They breathed heavily, their chests moving up and down in the freezing cold air.Just a minute ago, the tear was a wild, violent mouth. It had tried to eat Kael. It had tried to suck him into the dark, backward world of the Ash Plane. It had pulled on him with the heavy gravity of his own sad memories.But now, the tear was completely still.The violent wind stopped blowing. The loud, terrible noise of breaking glass faded away.Everything became very, very quiet."Why did it stop?" Kael whispered. He held his right hand close to his chest. Under his skin, the dark ash mark in the shape of the tear slowly spun. It felt like a piece of cold ice buried in his flesh.Caster did not look at Kael. Caster kept his eyes locked on the glowing, red-edge

The pull on Caster was massive. He started to slide forward on his stomach. The sharp black glass dirt cut into his chest and arms, bleeding freely."I have you!" Caster roared over the strange, silent noise of the tear."Let me go!" Kael choked out. Ash was spilling from his lips as he spoke. "It will take you too! Let me die!""I am done letting people die for my mistakes!" Caster yelled back.Caster’s hand was slipping. Kael’s boot was covered in thick ash. It was too slippery.Caster knew his physical strength was not enough. He was an old man in a tired body. He could not win a game of tug-of-war against a whole dimension of magic.He had to use the deepest magic
Chapter 412
On the back of his right hand, there was a mark.It looked like a tattoo. But it was not made of ink. It was made of black ash. The ash was embedded directly under his skin.The mark was a perfect circle with a jagged line cut right through the middle. It was the exact same shape as the tear in the air.Kael touched the mark with his left finger. It did not hurt. It felt cold. Like touching a piece of ice that never melted.Then, the black ash under his skin moved.It slowly swirled in a small circle, like a tiny dark galaxy spinning under his flesh.Kael pulled his hand back quickly, his heart hammering against his ribs. He felt sick to his stomach.
Chapter 410
First, the light was backward. In the real world, the sun makes things bright, and shadows are dark. In the Ash Plane, the open air was completely pitch-black. But the shadows cast by giant, twisted rocks glowed with a sick, pale white light. The darkness was bright. The light was dark. It made Kael dizzy. He wanted to throw up.Second, there was the sky. Kael looked up through the tear, but there was no sky above. The sky was under their feet. Below the floating black rocks of the Ash Plane, there was a vast, endless gray ocean of clouds. The clouds looked like dirty wool. Giant storms of black lightning flashed upside down, shooting from the clouds up toward the rocks."What is this place?" Kael breathed. He took a tiny step forward, pulled by the strange sight."Do not move," Caster warned. "Do not even breathe too hard."But Kael could not stop looking. Then, Kael saw the embers. Floating in the dark, backward air of the Ash Plane were millions of tiny glowing specks. They looked
