The attack came on the third night of the Continental Council, when our guards were focused outward toward potential external threats rather than watching for betrayal from within our own gathering.

I woke to silver light blazing from my bond mark not the gentle pulse of network communication, but the harsh flare of emergency warning. Through the Eclipse Covenant connections, I felt confusion and terror rippling through the confederation as something severed our links one by one.

"Selene!" Darius burst through the tent flap, his armor hastily donned and his sword already in hand. "We're under attack, but not by anything we can see or fight conventionally."

I rolled from my sleeping furs, the Eclipse Covenant armor manifesting around me as power flowed through awakened channels. Outside, I could hear shouts of alarm mixed with the distinctive sounds of supernatural combat energies clashing, reality distorting, the screams of beings whose abilities were being turned against them.

    The combined conventional-enhanced assault on the Unraveling's primary stronghold began before dawn, when their ability-suppression cycles were at their weakest ebb. I led the enhanced strike force while Alpha Theron coordinated conventional units, our forces moving through reality-distorted terrain with the careful precision of beings who understood they faced opponents unlike anything in recorded history.The stronghold itself was a monument to philosophical negation not a fortress built to withstand assault, but a void carved into existence where the normal rules of space and matter had been systematically unraveled. Approaching it felt like walking toward the edge of reality itself, where the very concepts of form and function were being dissolved."Conventional force status?" I asked through communication crystals that barely functioned in the anti-reality field surrounding the target."In position but experiencing severe conceptual displacement," Alpha Theron replied, her voice

    The irony of the situation wasn't lost on any of us the most advanced supernatural confederation in recorded history was about to stake its survival on the tactical wisdom of wolves who had never experienced enhancement. As conventional forces deployed throughout the Eastern Continent's chaos zones, I found myself learning lessons I should have mastered years before."Primary difference between enhanced and conventional tactical thinking," Alpha Theron explained as she briefed confederation leadership on baseline military doctrine, "is that conventional forces assume limitations rather than possibilities."We had gathered in a command post that existed in one of the few stable reality zones remaining near the former urban center. Around us, conventional wolves moved with the quiet efficiency of beings who had never doubted their ability to function without supernatural assistance."Enhanced forces tend to approach problems by identifying which abilities can solve them," she continued.

    The first direct encounter with the Unraveling came at dawn, when our forward scouts reported entities approaching the survivor enclave with abilities that seemed designed specifically to counter everything the confederation represented.I stood atop the defensive barriers the survivors had constructed from stabilized reality, watching figures emerge from the chaos zones with movements that hurt to observe directly. They didn't walk so much as unmake the space between where they were and where they wanted to be, leaving trails of dissolution that took minutes to heal."Count and classification?" I asked Marcus, though my own enhanced senses were struggling to process what we faced."Seventeen distinct entities, possibly more," he replied, consulting readings from instruments that were giving contradictory data. "But classification is... problematic. They don't register as individual beings so much as coordinated absence."Through the Eclipse Covenant network, I felt the unease of conf

    The trans-oceanic deployment required abilities that the confederation had never tested at such scale. Traditional travel would take weeks time that overseas communities didn't have as reality breakdown accelerated beyond containment. Instead, we relied on supernatural entities whose powers could bridge vast distances through methods that defied conventional understanding.I stood at the center of a massive ritual circle carved into the prairie floor, surrounded by beings whose combined abilities would attempt something unprecedented in recorded history. Spatial-folders who could compress distance, dimension-walkers who could step between realities, time-stream navigators who could accelerate our passage through alternate temporal flows."Coordination matrix established," announced the lead spatial-folder, their form flickering between visible and not as they manipulated local space-time. "Target destinations confirmed, emergency supply caches positioned, communication relays activate

    The Continental Council convened in emergency session within hours, but the scope of the global crisis quickly overwhelmed our existing coordination capabilities. Representatives from twelve confederations found themselves attempting to coordinate response efforts across three continents simultaneously a logistical nightmare that pushed every system we had developed to its breaking point."Situation assessment from the Overseas Observation Network," Elena announced, her voice tight with exhaustion after hours of coordinating long-distance communications. "Eastern Continent: seventeen regions experiencing uncontrolled awakening events, estimated forty thousand newly manifested individuals without support structures. Southern Continent: armed conflicts between enhanced and conventional populations in at least six major territories. Western Continent: complete governmental breakdown as supernatural entities attempt to establish dominance hierarchies."The numbers were staggering, but wha

    The meeting with Maris took place in a garden that had once been Kael's private training ground, where he had practiced the combat techniques that made him such a formidable Alpha. Now it bloomed with flowers tended by former warriors who had discovered peace in nurturing life rather than ending it.My former friend sat beside a fountain that played with water shaped by supernatural abilities, her scarred hands folded in her lap as she watched koi swim in patterns that seemed almost choreographed. The artificial enhancements were gone, but their legacy remained in the careful way she moved, as though afraid her body might betray her again."You look well," she said as I settled beside her on the stone bench. "Leadership suits you better than I expected when we were young.""I never expected to be leading anything," I replied honestly. "Surviving was ambitious enough when I fled this place.""And now you coordinate supernatural governance across half the continent," Maris observed with
