last update Veröffentlichungsdatum: 07.03.2026 02:14:50

The roar of the three black speedboats piercing through the fog in the middle of the lake struck my eardrums like a hammer.

But my body was no longer under my control. The bluish venom Elena had injected was flowing through my veins like an ice-cold current.

My eyelids grew heavy; the world around me slowed down, dissolving into a strange shade of grey. I felt Lucas’s strong hands shielding me against the floor of the boat.

Blood seeped from the bandage on his chest, staining my hands, but he

  • Hidden Fire in the Snow   Chapter 34: The Roar of the Void and Astral Love

    The spaceship trembled violently. Outside the window, the familiar darkness of space now looked like a massive swirling inferno. This was no ordinary black hole—it was a digital monster created by my father, devouring all light and time in the universe. His maniacal laughter burst through the ship’s speakers—“Sophia! Lucas! Did you really think turning me to stone in the Himalayas would free you forever? I am now the dark code of this universe—I am destiny itself!”Lucas stepped forward, his new diamond-like mechanical body gleaming. His fiery wings spread wide, their heat melting the crystalline walls of the ship. He pulled me close to his chest. There was no cold metallic touch anymore—only a strange, cosmic warmth.“Sophia,” Lucas whispered, “this ship is being torn apart by the black hole’s pull. The engines are dead. Our only option is to strike at its very core… but to do that, I’ll have to sacrifice all the proton energy in my body.”I looked into his eyes. Beneath that human

  • Hidden Fire in the Snow   Chapter 33: Shadows from the Void and the Final Stand

    The silent Himalayan night turned into a living hell within moments. The words of the strange creature in the spacesuit at the door pierced my ears like poison. Ten minutes—only ten minutes before our carefully built world would be destroyed. Lucas stepped in front of me, pushing me back with his broken mechanical arm. A faint beeping sound came from within his body, as if he was gathering the last remnants of his energy.“Sophia, go inside! Take our child and escape through the back door!” Lucas roared. His human brown eyes were shifting back into that sharp blue digital glow. Though his mechanical body was unstable, his courage had not diminished at all.The alien struck the ground with a mechanical staff. Instantly, a massive shockwave shook the entire house. The glass windows shattered and rained down on us. In a cold mechanical voice, it said again,“Lucas Moreno, you are a defective unit. Your emotions are a disgrace to our dynasty. Hand over the child, or this Himalayan peak wi

  • Hidden Fire in the Snow   Chapter 32: The Golden Curse and the Dance of Destruction

    When the pillar of golden light entered my child’s body, the air around us seemed to freeze solid. The innocent four-year-old boy—whom I had held in my arms just a moment ago—was now floating in midair. His eyes were no longer brown; they blazed with a fierce golden fire. A strange vibration emanated from his small body, shattering the rocky walls of the cave into pieces.Lucas had been thrown into a corner. Spreading his mechanical wings, he stood up again. The blue glow in his eyes was fading under the intensity of that golden light. In a strained voice, he said, “Sophia, move away! The ancient soul inside him is trying to consume the entire cave. He is no longer our child—he is the spirit of the ‘Original Moreno’!”Mother clutched my hand tightly, trembling. Tears streamed down her face. “I knew it... I knew this day would come. Before dying, the first king of the Moreno lineage sealed his soul inside this cave, so that one day he could be reborn within a pure body of his own bl

  • Hidden Fire in the Snow   Chapter 31: Call of the Himalayas and the Oath of Blood (Call of the Himalayas)

    On the calm shore of the sea, in the soft light of dawn, when Rohing Singh delivered this terrible news, the world around me seemed to sway once again. Mother is alive? Then was that blazing inferno in Quebec merely an illusion? I looked at Rohing Singh with a pale face. His old warrior attire was now stained with dust and blood, yet his eyes held an unshakable belief."Uncle..." I said in a trembling voice. "If mother is alive, then where has she been all this time? And what connection does the mystery of the Himalayas have with the Moreno lineage?"Rohing Singh rolled up his ancient manuscript. Taking a deep breath, he said, "Sophia, your mother Valeria Moreno was not an ordinary woman. She was the guardian of the original secret of the 'Blue Virus.' The laboratory in Quebec was only a shadow. The true source of power lies in a hidden cave in the Himalayas, known as the 'Heaven of the Dead.' Your father and the Guru—they are not dead. Just before the explosion, they used a special t

  • Hidden Fire in the Snow   Chapter 30: The Cry of the Heart

    When my tears fell on that child’s forehead, the entire atmosphere of the island seemed to freeze in an instant. A dark smoke began to come out of the child’s body. He was writhing on the ground in pain, and from his mouth came that familiar harsh scream of Gurudev. "No! These magical tears are weakening my virus! Sofia, what have you done?Throwing away the sword, I ran toward my child. Lucas somehow got up from the wall and stood beside me. With his mechanical hand, he gripped my shoulder. Both of us saw that from the form of that small child, Gurudev’s digital soul was trying to come out."Lucas, save him!" I screamed. "Free our child from this monster!"Lucas placed his right hand on the child’s chest. From his fingers, the blue data cables came out again and connected with the child’s nervous system. Lucas’s face was turning blue with pain. He had begun a direct fight with Gurudev’s powerful digital virus. The fans of his mechanical body were spinning loudly, sparks of fire wer

  • Hidden Fire in the Snow   Chapter 29: Cries of the Sea and Bloodline

    The waves of the sea were washing over my feet, but the icy current that ran through my body was colder than this water. The picture of that newborn in the note in my hand was tearing my chest apart. That blue mark on the forehead—exactly the same glow as Lucas’s mechanical eye. My womb had been emptied, but could it be that someone had truly kept my child alive?Lucas stood like a stone, holding the note in his hand. Even on this deserted beach, I could hear the thumping sound of his mechanical heart. He slowly looked at me. In his eyes now were guilt and endless affection. He pulled me into his arms, and within his strong embrace, I seemed to find a little shelter.“Sophia,” Lucas whispered, burying his face in my hair, “I promise, wherever our child is, I will find them. I will not let this curse of the Moreno bloodline touch them.”Crying against his chest, I said, “Lucas, we thought everything was over. But will this deadly game never end? Don’t we have the right to live in pea
