Chapter 100
Dust still hung in the air from the collapse, thick and choking, making every breath feel heavy. Lena coughed hard, her chest burning as she tried to clear her lungs. She pressed a hand against the stone wall for balance, the rough surface scraping her skin. Somewhere behind her, the sound of shifting rock echoed like a warning that the chamber above them was still unstable.Kai was close—she could feel his presence more than she could see him. The air stirred faintly, and then his hand gripped her arm, steady and firm.“Stay with me,” he said, his voice low but urgent.Lena nodded, though her throat was too tight to speak. Her ears rang from the last explosion of stone, and for a moment, she thought she would collapse with the weight of everything pressing down on her. But Kai’s hand grounded her, dragging her back from the edge of panic.The woman—if she could even be called that—was still there. Even through the dust and the dim blue glow that flickered weakly from the cracks in th
Chapter Ninety Nine
Dust still floated in the air like pale smoke, swirling through the faint blue light that refused to die even though the chamber itself had nearly been destroyed. Lena coughed hard, her throat raw from breathing in the fine grit, and used her sleeve to cover her mouth. The ground trembled beneath her boots, weaker now than before, but still carrying the threat of another collapse.Kai had his arm around her, steadying her as loose chunks of stone tumbled from the jagged ceiling. His eyes were fixed on the shadowy figure that stood only a few paces away — the woman.She hadn’t moved during the chaos. Her long black hair hung over one shoulder, perfectly still despite the drifting dust. Her pale skin looked almost luminous in the dim glow, her strange eyes catching every flicker of light. She was calm in a way that made Lena’s heart race faster.“What are you?” Lena finally managed to ask. Her voice sounded small in the cavernous ruin of the chamber.The woman tilted her head slightly,
Chapter Ninety Eight
The chamber roared around them, stone and dust raining down like a storm. The blue light from the walls flickered wildly, casting sharp, broken shadows that leapt across the cracked floor. The woman—if she could even be called that—stood calm in the chaos, her long black hair whipping around her face as if the collapsing chamber dared not touch her.Lena’s heartbeat thundered in her ears. The ground shuddered under her boots, and the vibration traveled all the way up her spine. She couldn’t tell if it was from the collapsing structure or the pounding fear inside her.Kai’s hand shot out, gripping her wrist tightly. “We need to move. Now.”But the woman only tilted her head, her black eyes glimmering like pieces of polished obsidian. “You think you can outrun what’s coming?” Her voice was too steady for someone standing in a room that was moments away from caving in.A deep crack tore across the ceiling, and a massive slab of stone dropped, smashing into the ground where Lena had been
Chapter Ninety Seven
The ceiling groaned above them, stone and dust raining down in thick clouds. Lena’s lungs burned with each breath, the air heavy with grit. The ground kept shuddering under her boots, each tremor sharper than the last.“Kai—” she started, but her voice was drowned out by another deafening crack from above. A long fissure split the wall behind them, glowing faintly with the same unnatural blue light that had been pulsing from the chamber’s heart.The woman-creature didn’t flinch. She stood as if the chaos around them didn’t matter, her strange eyes locked on Lena. “You think this place is falling apart,” she said, her voice almost calm, “but it is waking up.”Kai stepped between them, his arm still bleeding from earlier, but his stance steady. “Whatever this is, it ends here. You’re not taking her.”The woman’s lips curled into a faint smile, though there was no warmth in it. “You still believe you can stop me. How… charming.”Another crack split the floor, the pool behind them sloshin
Chapter Ninety Six
The rumbling did not stop—it grew louder, deeper, until it felt like the whole cavern was alive and breathing. Dust rained from the jagged ceiling, and the glowing blue veins in the walls pulsed brighter, as if reacting to whatever was coming.Lena’s knees almost buckled from the force of the vibration. She reached for the wall to steady herself, but the stone felt warm—too warm, like something was burning inside it. The heat shot through her fingertips, and she jerked her hand away.Kai moved closer to her, his arm hovering near her back, ready to grab her if the ground split. His eyes darted around the chamber, searching for a threat he couldn’t yet see.The woman—the creature in human form—was smiling. Not a mocking smile this time, but something worse: satisfied, as though everything was going exactly as she wanted.“You feel it, don’t you?” she said, her voice calm and almost tender. “The awakening has begun.”Lena swallowed hard. “What’s waking up?”The woman’s gaze slid toward
Chapter Ninety Five (THE FRACTURE BENEATH)
The ground shook hard enough to rattle the blue light that swirled above them. Dust fell from the stone ceiling in lazy spirals, but the air was anything but calm. It thrummed, vibrating deep inside Lena’s chest like a low drumbeat no one was playing.The woman didn’t flinch. She stood perfectly still, her strange silver hair floating as if underwater, her eyes locked on Lena’s face. That smile never wavered.Kai moved in front of Lena, his stance wide, one hand gripping his weapon, the other raised slightly as if he could shield her from whatever was coming.“What did you do?” he demanded, his voice sharper than the rumble beneath their feet.The woman’s gaze flicked to him for the briefest moment. “It’s not me,” she said softly, almost with amusement. “It’s her.”Lena felt her stomach knot. “Me?”That was when the pressure in her head doubled, swelling into something almost physical. She staggered, one hand flying to her temple. Images she didn’t recognize flashed in her mind—shapes
