CHAINS OF ETERNITY Chapter 41 – Whispers in the Hollow Maze
🌑 Chains of EternityThe corridors of the labyrinth had begun to change.At first, the group thought it was exhaustion — the twisting hallways seemed longer, the air thicker, the torches dimmer. But then the walls began to breathe. Subtle at first — a pulse, a faint expansion like stone taking a slow breath through the centuries.Kael stopped walking. “Did you feel that?” he asked, voice low.Brann’s torch sputtered. “The draft, you mean?”“No,” Kael said, eyes narrowing. “It wasn’t air.”Liora shivered. “Don’t start this again. It’s just your nerves.” But even as she spoke, her own breath trembled. The floor beneath her boots gave a tiny, almost imperceptible ripple, like walking across the skin of a drum.They pressed on.The deeper they went, the more the labyrinth seemed to turn in on itself. Arched passages twisted into perfect circles. They passed the same statue three times — a hooded woman holding a mirror, her face half-broken, the same fracture tracing her cheek no matter t
CHAINS OF ETERNITY Chapter 40 – Fractured Bonds
🌑 Chains of Eternity The corridor bled into a cavernous chamber, its ceiling lost in shadow. Jagged spires of stone rose from the floor like the broken ribs of some long-dead titan. Faint veins of light crawled along the walls, pulsing slowly, like the beat of a buried heart. Kael halted at the threshold. He felt it at once—the air was different here. Heavy. Watching. The kind of silence that pressed into bone, that scraped against thought. The others gathered behind him, each carrying their own weariness, their own suspicion. But it was the weight between them that cut deepest now. Eryndor. He walked through the chamber without hesitation, his boots echoing soft against the stone. As he passed, the veins of light stirred, flaring brighter, following him like eyes. Seris’s bowstring groaned as she drew it taut. “There. You all see it now. Don’t you dare tell me this is luck.” Brann frowned, adjusting the axe on his back. “So what if it’s not? The walls like him. Good. Means le
CHAINS OF ETERNITY Chapter 39 – The Silent Accord
🌑 Chains of EternityThe corridors narrowed again, twisting into a jagged throat of stone. Each step echoed back, too loud, too sharp, like the labyrinth itself was mocking their presence.Kael led with his blade raised, his every nerve frayed raw. Seris’s bow followed close behind, her eyes never leaving Eryndor’s back. Brann trailed last, axe resting on his shoulder, grumbling at shadows. Liora clutched her staff near the center, her face pale but steady.Eryndor moved like water through the stone. Calm. Measured. His shoulders squared as if each twist and turn was expected, each hollow passage already known.Kael hated it.The silence was wrong. He had grown used to the labyrinth’s cruelty—monsters waiting in the dark, traps that bit into flesh, whispers that clawed at his mind. But this… this absence was worse. It felt like the world was bending around them, smoothing every path, drawing them toward something unseen.And all of it revolved around him.They reached a wide hall of
CHAINS OF ETERNITY Chapter 38 – The Shadow’s Favor
🌑 Chains of EternityThe labyrinth narrowed into a corridor of uneven stone, the walls rippling like frozen waves. The ceiling dipped low enough that Brann had to stoop, and every step echoed with unnatural clarity.Kael led with his blade drawn, every nerve taut. The silence here was different from before. Not watchful—expectant. Like the labyrinth was waiting for something.Or someone.They pressed on for what felt like hours. No monsters stalked them. No traps snapped from the walls. Only the silence, so heavy it threatened to crush their thoughts.Finally, Brann broke it.“I’ll be damned,” he muttered, resting the haft of his axe on his shoulder. “It’s almost easy now. Been too long since I swung this thing. Almost feels wrong to say it, but maybe our luck turned.”Seris’s gaze cut across the line to Eryndor, who walked just behind Kael. Her voice was sharp as glass. “Luck doesn’t make stone bend. It doesn’t quiet beasts. And it doesn’t mark a man with runes he refuses to explain
CHAINS OF ETERNITY Chapter 37 – The Weight of Silence
🌑 Chains of EternityThe air thickened the deeper they went. No roars. No skittering claws. Not even the distant grinding of stone.Kael hated it. Monsters could be fought, traps could be endured—but silence meant the labyrinth was watching.And it was watching through Eryndor.Brann was the first to speak what none wanted to. “Strange, isn’t it? How we haven’t run into anything since he showed up again.” He jabbed a thumb at Eryndor, grinning. “I like it. Means fewer teeth snapping at my neck.”Seris’s reply was a dagger. “Or it means the teeth are waiting for his command.”Eryndor gave no reaction. His gaze remained fixed ahead, shoulders set as though he bore a weight invisible to the rest of them. The faint rune beneath his sleeve glimmered when the shadows shifted, then dulled as if ashamed.Kael said nothing. But he felt it too. The wrongness.They reached a corridor where the floor had collapsed, leaving a pit of shifting darkness. The gap stretched too wide for any ordinary l
CHAINS OF ETERNITY Chapter 36 – Whispers in the Stone
🌑 Chains of EternityThe labyrinth twisted into silence. Gone were the constant distant roars, the echo of unseen beasts, even the drip of water. Here, the stone itself seemed to breathe, slow and patient, as though listening.Kael felt it first. A hum beneath his boots, faint but steady, like the murmur of a buried heartbeat. He froze.“What is it?” Seris whispered, bow taut in her hands.Before Kael could answer, the walls pulsed with light. Thin cracks traced themselves through the black stone, glowing faintly with runes that shimmered like veins of fire. The air thickened, pressing down on their lungs.Liora gasped and clutched her staff, its crystal resonating softly. “It’s… responding to something. Not me. Not us.”All eyes turned slowly.To Eryndor.He stood motionless, his face unreadable. But Kael’s gaze caught the truth: the faint burn through his sleeve, the hidden rune at his wrist glowing brighter in response to the labyrinth’s call.Brann squinted, oblivious to the dang
