CHAPTER 106

A cold wind rolled across the wastelands near the border of the human territories. Dust lifted like smoke, cloaking the broken path in silence. Animals had long since fled. Even spirits knew better than to linger.

And still, something walked.

The rogue moved soundlessly, his armored feet barely disturbing the ground. Around him, the wind quieted—as if the land itself held its breath.

They would not speak.

They only followed.

“Target is moving east,” said one of the smaller shadow creatures beside him, its voice like whispering leaves. “He’s not hiding anymore.”

“He never was,” the rogue replied, eyes fixed on the horizon. “He’s trying to reclaim what we buried.”

“Will he remember?” asked another.

“Not if I break him first.”

There was a beat of silence. Then: “You fear him.”

The rogue stopped walking.

“I don’t fear him,” he said slowly. “I fear what’s inside him.”

“You were like him once,” said the first shadow. “A vessel.”

The rogue’s voice dropped. “No. He’s not a vessel.

  • Lucian's Undoing    CHAPTER 112

    CHAPTER 112"The gods have failed you."Tristan’s voice echoed through the shattered remains of the city square.The people gathered around him—creatures and wanderers, outcasts and broken beings who had lost everything in the first waves of war. They stood in crumbling ruins, shadows stretching under the broken spires, eyes hollow.Tristan stood on a cracked pillar, barefoot, arms outstretched like a preacher before a lost flock. His once-human features were warped now—void-light flickered beneath his skin, black veins curled across his neck, and his eyes were bottomless pits.“They promised light. They gave you chains.”A gust of wind swept through the city, carrying dust and the faint scent of blood.“I walked in their temples,” Tristan continued. “I drank from their sacred wells. I prayed. I obeyed. And in return?” He spread his hands wider. “They fed me lies.”He stepped down from the pillar, walking slowly among the crowd. People flinched but didn’t run. His presence pulled them

  • Lucian's Undoing    CHAPTER 111

    CHAPTER 111> “You nearly died, and you just walked away?”Lucian’s voice cracked through the tension like lightning. He slammed the door to Elias’s chamber shut behind him.Elias didn’t even turn around. His shirt lay discarded on the floor, the golden and violet brand on his back still pulsing faintly. Sweat gleamed across his spine. “Don’t ignore me,” Lucian growled.Elias finally spoke, low. “I’m not ignoring you.”“Then look at me.”Elias turned. His face was calm—too calm—but his eyes… Lucian froze. There was fire in them. Lucian crossed the space between them in two strides, voice dropping. “You scared the shit out of me.”Elias tilted his head, breath catching as Lucian’s hand reached up—just barely grazing the line of his collarbone. The touch wasn’t violent. It wasn’t tender either. It was something else.Needy.“Lucian,” Elias whispered, voice cracking. “Don’t.”“Don’t what?” Lucian’s fingers slid lower, down the center of Elias’s chest, slow and maddening. “Don’t touch

    CHAPTER 110> “You’re not focusing,” Azazel snapped inside Elias’s mind. “Stop holding back.”Elias grit his teeth, breath misting in the cold air of the arena. His fingers flexed, magic coiling beneath his skin like a beast waiting to pounce. Around him, the stone columns of the training ground hummed faintly, glyphs responding to the rising power that stirred within him.“I’m not holding back,” Elias muttered aloud.Azazel’s laughter was sharp. “Then stop thinking about the face you can’t remember. Stop thinking about him.”Elias’s throat tightened. He didn’t answer.He shifted his stance, grounding himself. He could feel Kairis somewhere on the edge of the ring, watching silently with her arms crossed. Dorian stood not far from her, flanked by some of the vampire guards, murmuring between themselves. Lucian wasn’t in sight—Elias had asked him to stay away today. Too many emotions. Too many dreams. Too many questions.He exhaled slowly. Then lifted his hand.The glyphs responded at

  • Lucian's Undoing    CHAPTER 109

    CHAPTER 109“What do we do?” Seraphiel’s voice cracked first, which said everything. The goddess of judgement rarely even blinked. “It’s not Erethar. It’s Nihareth.”“Of course it is,” Zevran muttered, standing slowly. His wings flared, dark and iridescent. “It was always Nihareth.”“Then why didn’t we act earlier?” snapped Samael. “We knew the signs. The void storms. The fractures in the Woven Realms. The disappearances—”“And you wanted to wait,” Seraphiel snarled.“I said watch. Not wait,” Samael snapped back. “There’s a difference.”Across the circle of thrones, Amaria rubbed her temples. “Enough.”But they weren’t done.“We need to reinforce the Celestial Gates—”“That won’t matter. If it wants in, it walks in.”“Then we use the Seals of Laharith—”“They cracked the last time Nihareth breathed on them!”“You want us to sit here and wait for it to tear through us one by one?”A voice sharper than lightning cut through the noise.“He could kill every one of us,” Luthiel said quietl

  • Lucian's Undoing    CHAPTER 108

    The air was heavy down here—thicker than above, almost sentient. It tasted of dust and ancient things left forgotten on purpose.Isadora pressed her palm to the rough wall of the corridor. The runes embedded into the black stone flared faintly at her touch. Wards, she thought. Old, divine. But not unbreakable.She smiled.Her blood had already opened the outer seal, but the deeper locks required more... finesse. She drew her finger across her wrist, letting a thin line of blood run down her fingertips. “Velarith,” she whispered into the dark, pressing the blood into a sigil carved low on the ground.There was a low rumble beneath her feet. Dust shook from the ceiling. The air hissed through cracks that hadn’t breathed in millennia.She chuckled. “Still responds to my blood. Good.”No one knew she was here.The Hall of Ascendancy above was distracted by chaos—Serros was dead, the Council was in turmoil, and war stirred. It was the perfect time to strike. She moved deeper into the corr

  • Lucian's Undoing    CHAPTER 107

    CHAPTER 107He needed silence.But silence didn’t come.The glyphs he'd carved around him glowed faintly—runic, precise, desperate. His fingers were stained with dried blood from where he’d pressed too hard while scribing. In his lap, his hands trembled.“Again,” he whispered to himself. “Show me again.”Golden light pulsed from the markings around him.And the visions came.A hall that stretched beyond logic—gold and obsidian pillars, flames dancing across marble. Creatures knelt in lines, heads bowed. A voice boomed from the high throne. His voice.Then war—skies on fire, wings of light and darkness crashing in mid-air, swords of celestial flame piercing through cities. Cries, orders, blood.And every time... that face.That one damn face—at the edge of every memory. Right before the betrayal. A voice shouting his name. A hand outstretched. But the features were gone, blurred by something deeper than magic. Like it had been wiped away.“No,” Elias muttered. “Let me see.”Another pul
