CHAPTER 69

The hour passed too quickly.

We sat in a smaller tent away from the Court, five people grappling with an offer that felt simultaneously inevitable and impossible. Through the bond, emotions churned—anxiety from Darius, calculation from Rhett, resistance from Kael, uncertainty from Marcus, and from Lyra, a strange sense of cosmic déjà vu.

"In the original timeline, we never ruled," Lyra said, breaking the silence. "We fought. We saved the world. Then we—" She stopped. Through the bond, we felt her accessing memories from that other life. "—then we disappeared. Refused the power. Let others rebuild."

"How did that work out?" Kael asked.

"Civil war within five years. Three separate factions claiming authority. The kingdom fractured into territories that fought each other instead of healing together." Her voice was heavy. "We thought refusing power was noble. It was just cowardice disguised as humility."

Through the bond, that truth settled into all of us. We could refuse this. Could walk

    The First Hunger spoke, and reality wept."You killed my children."The voice was not sound. It was absence. The space where existence should be but was not. Where light and thought and hope went to die.Through the bond, I felt Kael's warrior instincts screaming to fight. Rhett's strategic mind calculating odds that were mathematically impossible. Darius's analytical framework crumbling under incomprehensible threat. Marcus's hard-won stability fracturing again."We did not kill them," I said, forcing words through cosmic dread. "New Lyra consumed them. Turned their parasitic nature against itself. She—""She was yours. Your ally. Your weapon." The First Hunger's presence pressed against reality itself, making dimensions buckle. "Forty-seven children I seeded across existence. Forty-seven harvesters maintaining the great cycle. All gone. Because of you."Through our cosmic awareness, we perceived its true form—or the absence of form. The First Hunger was not entity. It was concept. T

    The feeding was not physical pain.It was erasure. Systematic. Methodical. The cosmic entities were not consuming our bodies—they were consuming our thoughts, our memories, our very sense of self.I felt pieces of me disappearing. The memory of my first death. The moment I met Kael. The choice to merge with my cosmic future self. All of it being pulled away like threads unraveling from fabric.*Stay together,* Kael's voice came through the bond, already thinner than before. *Whatever happens, stay—*His presence flickered. Weakened. The entities were targeting the bond specifically, trying to separate us before full consumption.*Cannot hold—* Rhett's strategic mind was fragmenting under the assault. *Too many of them. Too strong. We—**Focus on New Lyra,* Darius insisted, his analytical clarity somehow still intact. *Give her time. That is all that matters. Time.*Through the diminishing bond, I felt Marcus's consciousness already half-consumed. He was the weakest link—still recoveri

    I woke to reality screaming.Not metaphor. Actual sound—the fabric of existence protesting as dimensional barriers were torn open by beings that had no right to enter this reality.Through the bond, I felt four sources of consciousness jolting awake simultaneously.*They are here,* Kael sent. *Earlier than we thought. We have minutes, not days.*I threw on clothes and ran toward the council chambers. The others converged from their quarters, all of us feeling the cosmic violations rippling through dimensions."How many?" Rhett demanded as we burst into the chamber together.New Lyra was already there, her hands moving through dimensional calculations that painted the air with glowing symbols. "Forty-seven. Forty-seven cosmic entities like the Architect. All siblings born from the same primordial hunger. All feeding on consciousness across different realities. And now—" Her voice cracked. "—now they are all here. Coming for us."Through our cosmic awareness, we perceived them arriving.

    We spent the first day searching for alternatives to mass execution.The infected were quarantined in the crystal palace's lower chambers—three hundred seventy-two people who had no idea they were dying from the inside out. The Architect's seeds grew slowly, quietly, transforming consciousness into harvest points one cell at a time."There has to be a way to remove the seeds without killing the hosts," I insisted during yet another fruitless council session. "We have cosmic power. First Entropy's assistance. Access to dimensional magic the Architect never anticipated.""We tried seventeen different purging techniques," New Lyra said tiredly. She had been working without sleep, desperately attempting to save her other self—who was among the infected. "Every attempt either fails to remove the seed or destroys the host consciousness entirely. The Architect designed these infections specifically to be irremovable."Through the bond, I felt Kael's rage building. His father had just died—mu

    The army hit us like a tidal wave of identical consciousness.We did not fight back."What are you doing?" Kael shouted as millions of duplicated beings swarmed toward us. "We have to defend—""No," I said, grabbing his arm. Through the bond, I pushed conviction into all of them. "We do not fight. We show them.""Show them what?" Marcus demanded. "How to kill us efficiently?""Show them the difference between us and the Architect. The Architect forces compliance. We offer choice. Even now. Especially now."The first wave reached us. Hands grabbing, pulling, overwhelming through sheer numbers. Through our cosmic awareness, I felt each identical consciousness—same thoughts, same beliefs, same absolute certainty that returning to cosmic order was correct choice.They were going to kill us.But they were also—listening."We will not stop you," I said loudly, letting my voice carry through the swarm. "If you choose cosmic order, we will not force freedom on you. That would make us no bette

    We had ten days before King Aldric's army reached the palace.Ten days to figure out how to defend freedom without becoming oppressors ourselves. Ten days to prove that chaotic choice was better than comfortable slavery.Ten days that felt impossibly short and torturously long simultaneously."We cannot fight them," I said during our third emergency council session in as many days. "They are not corrupted. Not possessed. Just—scared. Choosing structure because chaos is overwhelming.""So we let them overthrow us?" Kael demanded, pacing like a caged predator. "Let them drag reality back to the Architect's control? That is surrender.""That is respecting their choice," Darius corrected quietly. "Which is what we claim to champion. Freedom means accepting that people might choose things we think are wrong.""There has to be middle path," Rhett insisted, maps spread before him showing the army's approach. "Some way to defend what we built without forcing our beliefs on others."Through ou
