Eva’s heart raced as she sprinted through the darkened halls, the sound of footsteps pounding behind her, growing louder with every passing second. She could feel the weight of the mask the rebels had tried to place on her, the darkness of their words, and their attempts to control everything. They believed they had the upper hand, but they were wrong.

She reached the end of the corridor, her breath coming in sharp, measured gasps. Ryder’s voice crackled through the earpiece once again, urgent and commanding.

“Eva, don’t stop. Keep moving. The extraction point is ahead—just a little further.”

Eva’s resolve hardened. She had no intention of letting the rebels—or anyone else—take control. Not now, not after everything she had uncovered.

She rounded the corner, her eyes scanning for any signs of movement. The rebels were getting closer. She could hear them, feel them closing in, but she couldn’t afford to stop. Not yet.

With a quick glance behind her, she saw shadows moving

    Days passed as Ryder, Eva, and the rest of the team settled into the safe house. The atmosphere was tense, but there was a sense of purpose now, a new resolve in the air. They were no longer running. They were preparing to fight back.Eva and Lyra spent most of their time together, working on rebuilding trust, understanding what had been done to them, and figuring out how to move forward. It wasn’t easy. But every conversation, every shared moment, brought them closer to healing.One evening, as the fire crackled in the hearth and the team gathered around, Ryder approached Eva. His expression was serious, his posture still the disciplined soldier she had come to know.“We’ve found out more about the rebellion,” he said quietly. “We have intel on the leaders. There’s a way to take them down, but it’s going to take everything we’ve got.”Eva met his gaze, her heart heavy with the knowledge that there was no escaping the fight. But this time, it was different. They weren’t fig

  • Echoes of Requiem   Chapter 19: Sisters of the Void

    The hum of the transport ship was a constant, soothing presence as it cut through the endless dark sky. Eva sat beside her sister, Lyra, her mind still reeling from the chaos they had just narrowly escaped. The Citadel Obsidian was still visible in the distance, a dark shadow against the backdrop of stars.But there was no time to dwell on what they had just left behind. The rebellion was still hot on their heels, and the Empire wasn’t going to let them walk away from this—especially not with what they had uncovered. The files, the truth about Project Requiem, it was all out in the open now. And they would come after them, harder than ever before.“We have to keep moving,” Ryder said, his voice cold and decisive as he looked at the map projected before him. “The rebel forces are already coordinating an attack. They won’t let us slip through their grasp. And as much as the Empire is a threat, the rebels are just as dangerous.”Eva nodded, her gaze flicking from Lyra to Ryder. H

  • Echoes of Requiem   Chapter 18: The Wolf General’s Rebellion

    Eva’s heart hammered in her chest as she helped Lyra stumble toward the exit, her sister’s hand gripping hers tightly. The sight of her sister awake, though disoriented, was both a relief and a fresh wave of dread. They weren’t safe yet. The rebels had already infiltrated the Citadel, and now they were moving in to capture or eliminate anyone who stood in their way.The door behind them slammed open, and a group of armed rebels entered, their weapons drawn and their eyes fixed on Eva and Lyra. Eva’s breath caught in her throat, her body instinctively moving to shield Lyra, who was still weak from the cryo-sleep.“No further,” Eva snapped, her voice cutting through the tension, her blade still in her hand, ready for a fight.But the leader of the rebels—one of the masked figures from earlier—only smirked at her defiance. “You think you can stop us? The Empire is falling, Blackthorn. You’re too late. Surrender now, and we won’t hurt you.”Eva’s gaze flicked to the hallway beh

  • Echoes of Requiem   Chapter 17: Betrayal Signed in Silver

    The deep, echoing hum of the Citadel Obsidian’s core systems was unsettling, almost suffocating in its vastness. Eva and Ryder moved through the labyrinthine hallways, their footsteps synchronized with the rhythmic pulse of the facility. The sterile walls of the Citadel seemed to close in on them, amplifying the weight of their mission. The air was cool, filled with the scent of metal and something faintly chemical—something that felt too controlled, too cold.Ryder led the way, his military training evident in every deliberate step he took. Eva, just a few paces behind him, kept her eyes peeled for any sign of danger. She couldn’t afford to let her guard down, not for a second. The security was tight, but this was it—the heart of the Empire’s experiments. It was where they would either succeed in destroying Project Requiem or die trying.They reached a sealed door at the end of a long hallway, a massive metal structure embedded with complex security features. Ryder moved toward

  • Echoes of Requiem   Chapter 16: Siege of the Mind

    The journey to Citadel Obsidian was long, fraught with moments of silence as the weight of their mission settled deeper into both of them. Eva had never been one for idle chatter, but the quiet between her and Ryder had grown heavy, as if the enormity of their task hung between them like an unspoken truth.Ryder, ever the strategist, had already laid out their plan. They would infiltrate the Citadel under the guise of a routine inspection. It was the only way to get inside undetected, to avoid raising suspicion. But Eva knew that no plan—no matter how careful—was foolproof. They would have to rely on their wits, their skills, and each other.As the transport ship neared Citadel Obsidian’s orbit, Eva’s pulse quickened. She could see the massive structure looming before them, a sprawling fortress that seemed to stretch endlessly into the sky. It was a place built for control, for suppression—everything that the Empire stood for.It was the perfect place to bury their secrets.

  • Echoes of Requiem   Chapter 15: Shattered Allies

    The journey away from Coldclaw Manor felt surreal, as if everything had shifted into another reality. The hum of the transport ship, the cool, artificial air inside, and the dim lights casting long shadows across the small interior were a stark contrast to the chaos that had unfolded just hours earlier. Eva sat opposite Ryder, her mind still processing the events that had taken place in the manor, the revelations about her sister, and the unexpected turn her alliance with Ryder had taken.They weren’t just fighting the Empire anymore. They were fighting for the truth, for Lyra, for everything the Empire had kept hidden beneath layers of deception and power.Ryder’s voice broke through her thoughts.“We’re heading to a secure location,” he said, his tone calm but with an edge that spoke of the urgency of their situation. “We can’t risk staying out in the open for long. Not with the rebels still on the hunt, and not with what we’ve just uncovered.”Eva nodded, her eyes lockin
