As we walk through the corridor and into what can only be described as an underground atrium, I'm struck speechless. The space opens dramatically—a central area at least three stories high with balconies and walkways crisscrossing above us. What was once perhaps a factory floor has been transformed into something between a community center and a refugee camp.

But it's not the physical space that has me mesmerized—it's the people. Or rather, the auras surrounding them.

A rainbow of colors flows and mingles throughout the room. Reds like Sera's, oranges, yellows, greens like Thea's, blues in varying shades, purples, browns like Marcus's, and colors I don't even have names for.

  • EMERGENCE: The Subnatural Chronicles   CHAPTER 101: THE VOID-CORE’S JAGGED PULSE

    The void-realm screeches, shadow-crystals splintering under a sky of jagged rifts. Searing air scorches my throat, shadow’s bitter tang clinging to my skin. I am Aelys, mortal, taut, lunar mark a faint scar, silvered hair matted with dust. Lena’s spark hums steady in my chest, anchoring me against the wraith’s hum. My blade, Elara’s runes etched deep, grips warm as I lead Kalia and our group—Cassia, Renn, Maddox, Sylvara, Lysara, Theryn, Zorath, Valthor, Lirien, Kael, Veyra—across cracked stone. The Veil’s thread frays in my heart, its weave buckling under the void’s hymn. Kalia’s blue aura burns bright, rift-touched orb glowing in her hands, sealed cracks lit with starlight. Her twin-star eyes trace crystal veins, breath even, fingers tight on the orb. I touch her arm, voice low, slicing through the screech. “Kalia, find the core.” She nods, lips set, orb sparking, eyes fierce, Lena’s spark mirrored.Veyra strides alert, gaunt, her blade’s Sylvara runes glinting, cloak torn. Her voic

  • EMERGENCE: The Subnatural Chronicles   CHAPTER 100: THE WRAITH’S SHATTERED DAWN

    Lumora’s crystal plaza trembles, vines wilting under a sky of flickering stars. A wraith’s screech splits the air, stone cracking, cold shadow stinging my skin. I am Aelys, mortal, tense, my lunar mark a pale scar, silvered hair whipping in gusts. Lena’s spark hums soft in my chest, stirred by Lumora’s fragile peace. My blade, Elara’s runes carved deep, grips tight as I stand with Kalia and our group—Cassia, Renn, Maddox, Sylvara, Lysara, Theryn, Zorath, Valthor, Lirien, Kael, Veyra—Veil’s thread trembling in my heart, its weave fraying under the wraith’s hum. Kalia’s blue aura flares, rift-touched orb glowing in her hands, sealed cracks lit with starlight. Her twin-star eyes scan the plaza, breath sharp, fingers tight on the orb. I grip her shoulder, voice low, cutting through the screech. “Kalia, lead us.” She nods, lips firm, orb sparking, eyes fierce, Lena’s spark mirrored.Veyra steps forward, gaunt, alert, her blade’s Sylvara runes glinting, cloak swaying. Her voice is sharp, ey

  • EMERGENCE: The Subnatural Chronicles   CHAPTER 99: THE HEART’S FINAL SHATTER

    The void-realm’s depths hum with a crystalline screech, jagged stone glinting under a sky of shrinking rifts. Cold air bites my lungs, heavy with shadow’s metallic tang. I am Aelys, mortal, weary, my lunar mark a faded scar, silvered hair damp against my brow. Lena’s spark pulses soft in my chest, worn from battles past. My blade, Elara’s runes etched deep, feels warm in my grip as I lead Kalia and our group—Cassia, Renn, Maddox, Sylvara, Lysara, Theryn, Zorath, Valthor, Lirien, Kael, Veyra, Elyra—across trembling stone. The Veil’s thread weaves faint in my heart, straining against the Herald’s hymn. Kalia walks beside me, blue aura steady, her rift-touched orb glowing in her hands, sealed cracks faintly lit. Her twin-star eyes trace crystalline veins in the stone, breath calm, fingers tight on the orb. I rest a hand on her shoulder, voice low, cutting through the screech. “Kalia, find the heart.” She nods, lips firm, orb sparking, eyes fierce with Lena’s spark.Elyra leads, tall and

    The void-realm pulses with a crystalline hum, its jagged stone shimmering under a sky of fractured rifts, their searing light stinging my eyes, the air chilling my lungs with a metallic tang. I am Aelys, mortal and worn, my lunar mark a ghost of a scar, my silvered hair clinging to my brow, Lena’s spark a faint pulse in my chest, strained by Veyn’s rift-world. My blade, etched with Elara’s runes, grips tight in my hand, its steel warm as I lead Kalia and the group—Cassia, Renn, Maddox, Sylvara, Lysara, Theryn, Zorath, Valthor, Lirien, Kael, Veyra, Elyra—across trembling stone, the Veil’s thread fraying in my heart, its weave buckling under the Herald’s hymn. Kalia’s blue aura flares beside me, her rift-touched orb pulsing, its sealed cracks glowing faintly, her twin-star eyes scanning crystalline shards, her breath steady, her fingers clutching the orb, knuckles pale. I touch her arm, my grip gentle, my voice low, slicing through the hum’s pulse. “Kalia, hold the Veil—find the core.”

  • EMERGENCE: The Subnatural Chronicles   CHAPTER 97: THE SHADOW’S FORGED CORE

    Veyn’s rift-world chokes on shadow, its cracked stone pulsing under a sky of jagged rifts, their fractured light searing my eyes, the air thick with a screeching hum that burns my throat. I am Aelys, mortal and strained, my lunar mark a faded scar, my silvered hair matted with void-dust, Lena’s spark a steady pulse in my chest, battered by Veyn’s ambush. My blade, etched with Elara’s runes, grips tight in my hand, its steel warm as I lead Kalia and the group—Cassia, Renn, Maddox, Sylvara, Lysara, Theryn, Zorath, Valthor, Lirien, Kael, Veyra, Elyra—through trembling ground, the Veil’s thread fraying in my heart, its weave buckling under Veyn’s hymn. Kalia’s blue aura flares beside me, her rift-touched orb pulsing, its sealed cracks glowing, her twin-star eyes scanning shattered runes, her breath sharp, her fingers clutching the orb, knuckles white.

    Lumora’s western outpost burns, its crystal spires cracked, runes bleeding shadow, the air thick with ash and a grating hum that claws my ears. I am Aelys, mortal and tense, my lunar mark a faint scar, my silvered hair whipping in void-winds, Lena’s spark a steady pulse in my chest, stirred by Lumora’s renewed light. My blade, etched with Elara’s runes, grips tight in my hand, its steel warm as I lead Kalia and the group—Cassia, Renn, Maddox, Sylvara, Lysara, Theryn, Zorath, Valthor, Lirien, Kael, Veyra—through shattered stone, the Veil’s thread trembling in my heart, its weave fraying under Veyn’s hymn.
