Hidden Fire in the Snow Chapter 38: The Trial of Motherhood and the Ruined Paradise
As the crack in the mountain sealed shut, my scream echoed through the Himalayan air.“Son! Come back! She’s not your grandmother—she’s a monster!”But the rocks remained silent, as if mocking my desperate cry. My son was gone. The child who, just moments ago, slept clutching my sari had now vanished—drawn into a dark, sinister allure of golden power and black wings.Lucas dropped to his knees beside me. His once diamond-hard body now looked pale like human skin. His fiery wings had turned to ash, scattered on the ground. Trembling, he held my hand.“Sophia… he’s gone. I can feel it… the last mechanical signal inside me has faded. I am completely human now.”I looked at him, his brown eyes filled with emptiness.“Lucas… did you see? Our son… he was smiling. He went into that coffin willingly. What did my mother do to him?”Lucas stood up slowly, weak but still a warrior.“Your mother—Valeria Moreno—didn’t use ordinary illusion. She awakened the pride of the ‘Prime Moreno’ within him.
Hidden Fire in the Snow Chapter 37: The Mirror Demon and the Battle of Souls
Our small, peaceful home has now turned into a house of death. Outside the window, the full moon casts an ominous yellowish light. Lucas, who stands before me—whom I trusted as my protector just moments ago—now has eyes glowing with an intense violet light. A demonic smile curls on his lips, one I have never seen before.“Lucas! Stop! What are you saying?” I step back, shielding little Sona at the corner of the bed. Sona is still in deep sleep, the moonlight falling gently on his innocent face.Lucas—no, the clone Sophia inside him—takes a step forward. Purple electricity drips from his mechanical claws. In a cold, mechanical voice, he says,“Sophia, Lucas is now trapped in a corner of my memory, crying. When he was connected to that ancient laboratory processor, I injected myself into every fiber of his soul. This diamond body, these wings—everything is mine now!”He suddenly spreads his wings and strikes the ceiling with tremendous force. The entire room trembles.“Tonight, I will
Hidden Fire in the Snow Chapter 36: The Primal Laboratory and the Clone Illusion
The sky of that colorful ringed planet now feels like a gray desert to me. Lucas is gone. That blood-stained message on the wall keeps piercing me constantly. My four-year-old son is standing by the window, staring at the stars. His golden eyes are now filled with a strange sadness. Holding my hand, he whispered,“Mom, Dad hasn’t left us. He has gone to destroy that ‘clone’ mother, who is being created in the primal laboratory at the center of the Earth. Dad knows that if that clone is completed, she will take your place and seize the entire Moreno Empire.”I stood frozen. My own clone? Who is creating it? And why did Lucas go alone? I tightly gripped my silver sword.“Son, we have to return to Earth. We can’t leave Lucas alone in this danger.”We entered our small emergency capsule once again. Cutting through the endless void of space, we began our journey back to our blue planet—Earth. During the journey, I could only think about Lucas’s enchanting smile. Did he really go to save
Hidden Fire in the Snow Chapter 35: The Cracked Moon and the Mechanical Plague
The sky of our once peaceful, ringed planet has now turned blood-red. From the massive fissure stretching across the moon’s surface, billions of black mechanical spiders are cascading down like a waterfall. aren't just insects; they are 'nano-bots'—capable of transforming any biological life into metal within seconds. Lucas stood before me, his body as resilient as diamond. His wings, once golden, were now glowing a fierce, fiery red."Sophia, take Sona and get inside that mountain cave!" Lucas roared. His mechanical voice now carried a primal battle cry. "Edward never died; he had hidden his consciousness within the moon’s digital core. Today, he seeks to strip away our final sanctuary."I scooped little Sona into my arms. He gazed up at the massive celestial throne in the sky with wide-eyed wonder. Edward—Lucas’s elder brother—sat upon that throne, wearing a grin of diabolical satisfaction. Surrounding him were thousands of flying drones, torching the planet's blue trees into ash.
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
