Bonds By Blades CHAPTER 200
The great hall fell silent as Kael spoke the words no one wanted to hear."The door is beneath us. Right here. Underneath the academy we've been rebuilding, the students we've been teaching, the lives we've been protecting."Rhydian stepped closer, his hand finding Kael's. "How long has it been here?"Kael shook his head. "Centuries. Maybe longer. Kaelen sealed it beneath the foundations, then built the academy on top to guard it."Elara's voice was barely a whisper. "She built this place to protect the world."Aldric stepped forward. "Then we need to make sure it stays protected."Kael met his eyes. "Alara is coming. She knows we have the third seal. She'll stop at nothing to open the door."Lena spoke from the shadows. "Then we need to seal it before she arrives."Kael looked at the crystal in his hand. "How?"Lena's expression softened. "The same way Kaelen did. With the Twin Blades and the blood of the first pact."****The descent into the depths took hours.Kael led the group th

The night air was cold against Kael's skin as they fled the library.The Order's agents were close behind, their shouts echoing through the darkness. Kael led the group through the winding corridors, his heart pounding, his breath coming in ragged gasps.Rhydian was beside him, his hand gripping Kael's arm. "This way!"They turned down a narrow passage, its walls covered in ancient symbols. Kael recognized them. They were the same symbols that adorned the Twin Blades.He stopped, his eyes scanning the walls. "Wait."Rhydian pulled him forward. "Kael! There's no time!""Yes, there is." Kael pressed his hand against the wall. "This passage leads somewhere important. I can feel it."The symbols blazed with light. The wall shifted, revealing a hidden chamber.Kael stepped inside.The room was small, its walls covered in the same ancient symbols. At its center stood a pedestal, and on the pedestal rested a single object.A crystal. Larger than the one he had found before. Its surface puls

The library was silent, its shelves stretching into shadow.Kael sat at the center table, the scroll spread before him. His eyes traced the faded words again and again, searching for something he had missed. Some clue. Some hidden meaning. Some truth that would make sense of everything.But the words remained stubbornly the same.The first pact was broken by one of the Keepers. Someone who believed that the door should be opened, not sealed.Rhydian sat across from him, his presence steady and reassuring. "You've been reading that for hours.""I'm trying to understand.""Understand what?"Kael looked up. "Why someone would betray everything they believed in. Why they would destroy the pact. Why they would risk the world."Rhydian was quiet for a moment. "Maybe they didn't see it as betrayal. Maybe they thought they were doing the right thing."Kael's jaw tightened. "The right thing? Opening the door could destroy everything.""Maybe they didn't know that. Maybe they were manipulated.

The journey to the forging place took them deep into the northern mountains.The terrain was harsh, the path winding through narrow passes and across frozen streams. The snow had begun to fall again, thick and relentless, covering the world in a blanket of white.Kael rode at the front, Rhydian beside him. The third seal was tucked into his cloak, its warmth a constant reminder of the truth they were seeking.Lena followed close behind, her face set with determination. Elara and Aldric brought up the rear, their eyes scanning the horizon."The forging place is hidden," Lena said. "Protected by ancient magic. Only those who carry the blood of the first pact can enter."Kael looked at her. "The first pact?""The alliance between Kaelen and Rhydian's ancestor. They forged the Twin Blades together. They sealed the door together. They created the first pact to protect the world."Rhydian spoke up. "What happened to them?"Lena's expression darkened. "They were betrayed. Someone they truste
Bonds By Blades CHAPTER 196
The Voren estate rose from the mist like a ghost of the past.Its walls were grey with age, its windows dark and empty. The gates groaned on rusted hinges as Kael pushed them open, their protest echoing across the overgrown courtyard. Ivy crept up the stone, claiming what had once been a proud family home.Rhydian stood at the entrance, his face unreadable. He had not been here since childhood. The memories that lingered in these halls were not happy ones.Kael placed a hand on his shoulder. "We don't have to do this."Rhydian shook his head. "Yes, we do."They walked through the entrance together, their footsteps echoing in the silence. Dust covered every surface. Cobwebs hung from the ceiling like forgotten curtains. The air was cold and still, carrying the scent of decay and abandonment.Kael studied the walls. "Your family was powerful once.""Once." Rhydian's voice was flat. "Before the prophecy. Before the war. Before everything fell apart."Kael reached for his hand. "What happ
Bonds By Blades CHAPTER 195
The journey back to the academy was quiet.Kael rode at the front, Rhydian beside him, their shoulders brushing occasionally. Elara's family had been safely delivered to a hidden village, where they would stay until the Order's threat was neutralized. The fortress burned behind them, its smoke a dark smudge against the grey sky.But Kael could not shake the feeling that something was still wrong.Rhydian noticed. "You've been quiet.""Just thinking.""About?""About the missing journal. The one that was stolen from the academy."Rhydian's jaw tightened. "You still think it's connected?""I know it is." Kael met his eyes. "The journal contained information about your family. About your bloodline. And now it's gone."Rhydian was silent for a moment. "What are you suggesting?""I'm not suggesting anything. I'm just wondering who would want it."Rhydian reached over and touched his hand. "We'll find out."Kael squeezed his fingers. "I know."They reached the academy as the sun began to se
Bonds By Blades Chapter 6: Eyes That Never Blink
Draven Academy had started watching them.Kael didn’t need proof.He felt it.It wasn’t obvious—not at first. No one followed him openly. No instructor called him out directly. No student dared confront him after what happened in the lower chamber.But the silence had changed.It had weight now.Ev
Bonds By Blades Chapter 5: When the Bond Bleeds
Kael knew something was wrong the moment he woke up.It wasn’t the room—still cold, still silent, still suffocating in its emptiness. It wasn’t the academy either. Draven Academy had always felt like a place designed to suffocate weakness.No.This was different.This was inside him.A sharp pressu
Bonds By Blades Chapter 4: Shadows and Secrets
The morning at Draven Academy arrived like a threat. The gray sky pressed low over the stone towers, and the corridors seemed narrower than the day before, as if the walls themselves had shifted overnight to watch, judge, and contain the students. Kael Vance moved with careful steps, his leather bo
Bonds By Blades Chapter 3: Trial of Blades and Blood
The central courtyard was alive with tension, though no one dared call it that. Every stone beneath Kael’s boots seemed to hum, resonating with the pulse of the academy itself. The survivors of the first arena trial stood scattered, silent, pale, and trembling where they had been forced to stand. E
