Incubus Reborn: Sleepless promise Chapter 155: What We Choose to Remember
They gathered at dusk.Not all at once. Not confidently. They came in ones and twos, drawn by the bells and by something quieter that tugged at their thoughts. Some carried lanterns. Some carried nothing but exhaustion. A few arrived angry, arms crossed, eyes sharp with suspicion. Others looked relieved just to have somewhere to stand that felt solid.The square beneath the academy filled slowly.Saraphina stood at its center, barefoot on cold stone, the faint gold glow in her palms pulsing in time with the deep current beneath the city. She could feel every person as they arrived, like lights flickering on in a vast dark room. Each carried their own weight. Their own fear. Their own memories hanging by threads Malrec was already reaching for.Lucian stayed close, never touching unless she swayed. When she did, his hand was there, steady and real.Mirielle and Kaelen moved through the crowd, guiding people into a loose circle. There were no sigils carved into the ground. No binding ma
Incubus Reborn: Sleepless promise Chapter 154: What the Mind Let’s Go
The calm did not last.It never did.Saraphina stood at the center of the bell tower long after the last sleeper had steadied, her breath shallow, her hands numb. The dream current hummed through her like a second pulse, quieter now but constant. Not something she could switch off. Something she had agreed to carry.Lucian helped the last of the sleepers into stable positions, murmuring reassurance where it was needed. When he returned to her side, he did not touch her at first. He studied her face, the faint strain around her eyes, the way her shoulders sagged like she was holding up something invisible.“You are still here,” he said gently.She nodded. “I think so.”That was not the answer he wanted.Outside, the city had fallen into an uneasy half sleep. Lanterns still burned. Guards moved through the streets more slowly now, less sure of their authority. Somewhere, a child laughed in their sleep, the sound startling in the quiet.Mirielle entered the tower, rain dripping from her
Incubus Reborn: Sleepless promise Chapter 153: The City That Would Not Sleep
Duskmoor did not sleep that night.Lights burned behind shuttered windows long past curfew. Candles trembled on sills. People lay awake in their beds with eyes wide open, listening to the city breathe like something alive and restless.Dreams came anyway.Not gently.Saraphina felt it from the moment she closed her eyes. The pull dragged at her consciousness, rough and insistent, like a tide that did not care whether she was ready.She gasped awake on a narrow cot in one of the academy’s lower chambers, sweat dampening her skin. The stone walls around her glowed faintly, veins of dreamlight pulsing through old cracks.Lucian was already sitting up across the room.“You felt it too,” she said.He nodded, jaw tight. “He has opened the gates.”Outside, a scream cut through the night.Then another.Saraphina was on her feet before fear could catch her. “That was not a nightmare,” she said. “That was a crossing.”They rushed into the corridor. Doors stood open. Students and residents poure
Incubus Reborn: Sleepless promise Chapter 152: When the City Answered
The city did not answer her with one voice.At first, there was only noise.Whispers spread like ripples across water, overlapping and contradicting one another. Some people leaned forward, hungry for meaning. Others folded their arms, already braced for disappointment. A few turned away entirely, muttering prayers under their breath as if her words alone might curse them.Saraphina stood still and let it happen.She had learned long ago that truth did not arrive like fire. It arrived like rain. Slow. Uncomfortable. Impossible to ignore forever.A man near the fountain shouted first. “You expect us to believe you after everything that burned?”A woman beside him snapped back, “She saved my sister.”“And brought soldiers to our door,” another voice countered.The crowd swelled, sound rising, tension tightening like a drawn string.Lucian watched from the steps, his gaze scanning the edges. He felt it before he saw it. The faint distortion in the air, like heat rising from stone. The dr
Incubus Reborn: Sleepless promise Chapter 151: The Lie of Silence
The world did not end.That was the first lie.Morning came anyway, pale and unsure, seeping through the academy windows as if nothing had shattered beneath its foundations. Rainwater clung to the stone walls. Smoke still rose from the lower courtyards. Somewhere far off, bells rang again, slower now, like they were testing whether the sound still belonged to them.Saraphina sat on the cold floor of the ritual chamber, her back pressed against a cracked pillar, her hands resting uselessly in her lap. The gold in her palms had faded to a dull warmth, like embers buried beneath ash. She could still feel the circle beneath her feet, burned into the stone and into something deeper that refused to name itself.Astra lay at the center.Alive.Bound.Her body glowed faintly, dreamfire pulsing beneath her skin in a slow, uneven rhythm. Runes crawled up her arms and throat like veins of light, tightening every time she tried to breathe too deeply. Her eyes were open but unfocused, staring thro
Incubus Reborn: Sleepless promise Chapter 150: The Fractured Light
The storm had finally broken.Rain hammered against the broken glass of the east tower, streaking down the stone walls like veins of silver. Inside, Saraphina stood before the cracked window, her reflection flickering with every flash of lightning.Lucian’s voice came softly from behind her. “You haven’t slept in two days.”“I can’t,” she whispered, eyes fixed on the horizon. “Every time I close my eyes, I see her. Astra—” Her voice faltered. “She’s still alive. I can feel her.”Lucian moved closer, the faint shimmer of his aura casting long shadows across the floor. “Feeling isn’t the same as knowing.”She turned to him, sharp and burning. “It is when your soul is bound to the same curse.”His silence said enough. The ache in his eyes was worse than any wound. He wanted to believe her—he did believe her—but he feared what it would cost.Kaelen burst in before either could say more. His cloak was soaked, his hair plastered to his forehead. “The city’s on the edge again,” he said breat
