Academy Of Cursed Hearts The Fool's Mirror
Chapter Ninety-Seven****Morwen and Veyra didn’t believe Kieran, about what he said happened the other night.Of course they didn’t.Morwen never trusts weakness. And Veyra never trusted anything she didn't see with her eyes.So when Kieran told them about the chamber he entered, the hands that dragged, the air that drowned… They called it fear. Delusion. A trick of the mind and much more.So they went to see for themselves.That night,they all crossed the threshold.Morwen and Veyra, with Kieran trailing behind like a ghost who’d already died once.Veyra stopped at the entrance. Smart woman. She didn’t step in. She just watched, arms crossed, eyes sharp as scalpels.Morwen walked right in confidently, because she feels she owns the academy.Fool.She began chanting in Old Veylan,the tongue of ward-breakers. Arrogant. Reckless. She thought her oaths, her bloodline, her position would shield her.The chamber didn’t care at all.The moment her voice hit the third syllable, the shadows
Academy Of Cursed Hearts The Deadly Curiosity
Chapter Ninety-Six:****I left the mirror chamber with the Twin’s warning still humming in my bones.“They're watching you,” she’d said. “And curiosity is the first step into the grave, be careful.”I knew Kieran has been following me for days. He's been following my shadows, like a dog that’s been kicked too many times but still hopes for scraps.He wanted answers, he really wanted to satisfy his curiosity.He wanted to believe I was still human.Poor fool.I stepped out of the hidden passage behind the old tapestry in the west wing,and turned down the hall towards the courtyard.That’s when I saw him.Kieran stood near the archway, half-hidden in shadow, eyes sharp, posture tense. He’d been waiting for me.“Aria,” he called, voice careful, almost polite.I didn’t stop. “Kieran.”He fell into step beside me. “You’ve been doing a lot of sneaky movements lately.”I kept walking. “I like to walk.”“Only at night? Through sealed corridors?”I looked at him. “Are you following me?”He di
Academy Of Cursed Hearts The Serpent in Silk
Chapter Ninety-Five:****That same night, in Morwen’s chamber.Kieran paced like a caged wolf. Morwen sat rigid in her chair, fingers digging into the arms, eyes sharp with betrayal.Veyran stood by the window, calm as stone, watching the moon like it held answers to her questions.“Explain yourself,” Morwen hissed. “You stood with her instead of standing with us. After everything we planned.”Veyra didn’t turn. “Plans fail when built on sand.”Kieran whirled on her. “You lied to us!”“No,” Veyra said, finally facing them. “I adapted.”She stepped into the candlelight, her iron-beaded braids glinting like blades. “I’ve watched Aria for three days now. Not just her power, but her patterns. She doesn’t react, she anticipates. She didn’t just survive the Veil Chamber tonight, she used it to make us expose ourselves.”Morwen’s eyes narrowed. “So you abandoned us out of fear?”Veyra’s laugh was dry, cold. “Fear? No. Strategy.”She walked to the table, tracing a finger over the map of t
Academy Of Cursed Hearts The Iron Hand
Chapter Ninety-Four:****Three days after the binding and humiliating Kieran in the library, the academy was sort of calm. Everyone went about their daily activities with no fear or intrusion.That morning, after training. There was change in the atmosphere, the weather was cold and sharp, like steel dragged across bone. The wards didn’t flare. The runes didn’t warn. They just… bowed.Someone new entered the academy.And they weren’t here to watch.They were here to break me.I saw her at breakfast.She sat alone at the High Table, where only masters and visiting dignitaries dined. Robes the color of dried blood. Hair braided with iron beads. Eyes like gray, unyielding, and very ancient.Morwen stood beside her, speaking low, respectful. Kieran hovered nearby, face pale but hopeful.Their weapon and last hope.After drills, Jason pulled me aside. “That’s Lady Veyra,” he said, voice tight. “Commander of the Obsidian Guard. She served the Queen’s court before the Veil fell. They say s
Academy Of Cursed Hearts The Broken Challenge.
Chapter Ninety-Three****I met Jason and Kael on my way to the dorm.“You saw him right?” Jason asked.“Yes."Kael crossed his arms. “He’s still going to summon the Watcher?”“He should go ahead,” I said. “It’s already coming.”Kael smiled. “Then Morwen and Kieran are in trouble.”I smiled faintly. “They have no idea.”Deep below, in the catacombs, Morwen finished the final chant.The circle blazed crimson. The ground trembled. Wind howled through the tunnels.Kieran stood at the edge, watching and waiting.“Now,” Morwen breathed. “It comes.”But the presence that rose wasn’t wrathful.It was… quiet.A figure emerged from the dark,not tall, not monstrous, but cloaked in shifting shadows, eyes like twin voids filled with stars.The Hollow Watcher.It turned upward.As if listening to something only it could hear.Then it spoke, a voice like stone grinding against time: “She is already here.”Morwen was angry. “Who?”The Watcher didn’t answer.It simply turned and walked away towards t
Academy Of Cursed Hearts Binding of Fire and Shadow.
Chapter Ninety-Two****I went to the mirror chamber that evening.Everyone in the academy slept. But I knew. Morwen and Harry, yes, I would call him that now,were done with games. They were summoning the Hollow Watcher.And while they thought they were calling a weapon.The Watcher wasn’t a weapon.It was a judge.And it had already chosen its verdict.But before it came, I had one last thing to do.When I entered the chamber,the Twin stepped closer to the glass.“They’re going to use one of the boys again,” she said, voice urgent. “Not just to hurt you but to get through you. If they can’t reach you, they’ll break what you love.”“I know,” I said.“Then bind them,” she said. “Not with wards but with you.”I frowned. “What do you mean?”“Transfer a thread of your power into them,” she said. “Not enough to change who they are,but enough to make them untouchable to liars. Let your fire live in Kael’s flame. Let your silence coil in Jason’s shadows. Once bound, no stolen magic, no soul-
