Chapter 143 – The Chains Within
Adrian couldn’t breathe. The world was gone no stone, no sky, no air. Only chains.They coiled around his arms, legs, chest, throat, sinking into his skin like living brands. He tried to summon lightning, but sparks fizzled and died the moment they touched the iron. The chains drank it, swallowed it, left him empty.Emily’s golden flame flickered faintly beside him. She fought wildly, slashing at the chains with fire that sputtered like a candle in a storm. Every strike burned a link to ash, but ten more took its place.Her cry tore through the suffocating dark. “Adrian!”He strained against the weight, muscles tearing, blood streaming down his arms. The chains wrapped tighter, cracking his ribs, forcing the air from his lungs.“Emily!” His voice was raw, choked. “Stay with me, don’t let them”The words cut off as another coil wound around his throat. From every chain, the Heir’s voice seeped like venom.“Do you feel it? The cage you shattered now binds you. Every link is forged from
Chapter 142 – Stormbreak
There was no light. No sound. No body.Adrian floated in nothing, lightning crackling faintly across the fragments of his awareness. His storm was scattered, ripped apart, threads of power drifting like sparks in an endless void.He tried to move, couldn’t feel his arms. Tried to breathe, couldn’t find his lungs. Was this death?A faint warmth pressed against the void, brushing against his unraveling storm. Emily.Her golden flame flickered in the nothingness, thin as a candle in a hurricane. She reached for him, her hand trembling, her eyes dim but unyielding.“Adrian…” Her voice was distant, echoing as though underwater. “…stay with me. Don’t let go.”Her flame reached, braided with his storm, pulling him back toward himself. He felt his ribs reform, the chains tearing free.Felt his lungs sear back into shape, agony lancing through his chest. His heart convulsed, sputtering then caught. Pain returned. And with it, so did he.The void peeled away, replaced by ruin. The chamber of ch
Chapter 141 – The Chainheart
There was no falling. One moment, Adrian’s ribs were shredded by chain, Emily’s body pierced alongside his. The next, the world inverted.Darkness wasn’t around them. It was inside them.The chains dragged them not through space, but through themselves pulling their souls inside-out, blood and essence unraveling like threads through an unseen loom.Their screams echoed in silence, devoured as soon as they left their throats. Adrian’s lightning stuttered, arcs collapsing into sparks. Emily’s flame guttered, trembling like a candle about to die.But the chains blazed stronger with each drop of their light. The Heir’s laughter bled into every nerve. “Yes. Yes. Burn for me. The brighter your fire, the deeper you sink into my crown.”Adrian’s vision fractured, shards of memory flashing past his eyes, his mother’s voice, the storm cresting on his first awakening, the moment Emily’s hand closed over his. All of them cracked like glass.No.He forced his hand to tighten around the chain impal
Chapter 140 – Hands Through the Fire
White light. It wasn’t warmth. It wasn’t cold. It was annihilation.Adrian’s storm burned him from the inside, arcs tearing through muscle and bone. His hand stretched toward Emily’s, their fingers almost locked. Almost.Every vein in his body screamed. The chains around his throat dug deeper, choking the air from his lungs. The Heir’s laughter tore through the collapsing void.“You think you can grasp her? You are already mine!”Adrian bared his teeth, lightning blinding his vision. He forced his arm forward centimeter by centimeter while the void shattered around him. “Not yours,” he rasped. “Never yours.”The crack widened. Golden fire burst through, searing the veins that bound him. Emily’s hand broke through the light. Her palm, flickering and trembling, still reached for his.He lunged. Their hands collided. The world convulsed.Chains snapped like brittle glass, fragments of shadow splintering across the abyss. The storm and the flame bled together, threads weaving, light and l
Chapter 139 – The Black Veins
Darkness swallowed him whole. Adrian plummeted through an abyss with no ground, no ceiling, no horizon.His storm flickered against it, weak arcs of lightning ripping across endless night. The sound of his own heartbeat thundered in his ears, too loud, too frantic.Every breath tasted of ash. “Emily!” His voice cracked, tearing out of his throat like glass. “Emily!”No answer. Instead whispers. They bled from the shadows like veins, creeping along the air, curling against his skin. His own voice, warped, multiplied.“You failed her.” “You chained her.” “You dragged her into the storm.”He gritted his teeth. “Shut up.”The whispers hissed louder. “She will burn away because of you.”The void shifted. Out of the darkness, tendrils emerged veins of black fire, thick as serpents. They pulsed, glowing faintly with crimson light.One lashed around his ankle. Adrian snarled, storm flaring, lightning ripping it apart. The vein recoiled, screeching like a living thing.But more came. Dozens. H
Chapter 138 – The White Silence
Silence. Not the silence of peace, but the silence of absence. Adrian floated in an endless white expanse, weightless, hollow.No storm raged in his chest. No pain tore through his ribs. His hands were unmarked whole, clean, empty.For the first time since the chains, since the abyss, he felt… nothing. He blinked. His breath fogged against the whiteness, though there was no air, no sky, no ground.“…Emily?”His voice echoed endlessly, swallowed by the void. No answer. A panic he hadn’t felt in years clawed at him. He spun, searching the endless white. “Emily!”Still nothing. And then faintly he felt it. A flicker. Golden. Like the smallest ember in the corner of eternity.He moved, though there was no walking, no ground to step on. The white seemed to bend beneath his will, pulling him toward that tiny flicker.The ember pulsed. Faint. Fragile. Emily. Adrian reached toward it, heart racing. “I’m here! Just hold on!”The ember shivered, a whisper brushing his ear. “…Adrian…”Her voice
