CHAPTER 21

The High Council gathered under the Haloed Dome, where light bled down from unseen heavens. Their faces were grave, their wings dimmed, the room choked with thick unease.

“It’s happening,” Seraphiel said first, his voice slicing through the silence. “The prophecy has begun to manifest.”

Murmurs rippled across the table — doubt, fear, anger.

“But the vessel it chose—” Erelah shook her head sharply. “It is unacceptable. Fragile. Wrong.”

“Unworthy,” Cassiel spat, thudding his fist against the marble. “The bulb bloomed for him? Impossible.”

“He is weak,” murmured Uriel, his brow furrowed deep. “He knows nothing of power, nor destiny.”

“Then why?” Raziel growled. His gold-edged wings twitched, a sign of his barely restrained temper. “Why would the signs align around him?”

Silence fell again.

From the shadows of the council rose the eldest of the Elders, draped in robes that shimmered like the edge of the universe.

"You are blind," the Elder said quietly. "You see the surface, th

  • Lucian's Undoing    CHAPTER 137

    CHAPTER 137Few hours later "You're not going to like this," Kairis said quietly, flipping through a thick silver-edged tome. Her fingers trembled slightly.Lucian, leaning against the far wall with arms crossed, raised a brow. "Try us." The air stank of sweat, ash, and broken magic. Dorian stood sharpening his blade beside a flickering wardlight, and Elias sat quietly, his golden eyes dull from the battle hours ago.Kairis looked up. “There’s something called the Archmirror. It’s... not just a relic. It shows you the one who betrayed you. And yourself. Who you really are. Not what you think. What you are.”Lucian scoffed. “And why does that sound like a very bad idea?”“Because,” she said, “you may not like what it shows.”Elias finally lifted his head. “Where?”Kairis hesitated. “Beneath what’s left of the old Sanctum of Stars. It’s buried, but intact. Guarded.”Elias stood up, his expression unreadable. “Then we’re going.”“Wait—” Dorian started. “Are you sure? What if—”“I said

    CHAPTER 136"Do you feel that?" Kairis asked, drawing her blade.Dorian narrowed his eyes. "Something’s wrong. That’s not just cold. That’s—”A scream tore through the air.Then another.Then silence.Lucian looked up from the ridge where the coalition army had camped. Below them, Vaeth was falling. No—unraveling.Elias stepped forward, golden eyes narrowing. "Move. Now."They descended into chaos. The city was crumbling not from fire or brute force—but from emptiness. People staggered through the streets, babbling nonsense, their eyes vacant."Kairis, ward the east! Dorian, take your unit west! Lucian—" Elias turned, but Lucian was already gone, racing into the heart of the ruin.Lucian’s boots skidded across the cracked stone. He grabbed a woman by the shoulders. "Who did this? Who attacked you?"She blinked slowly. "...do you know where my shoes are?"Lucian swallowed hard.Then came the sound. Like a thousand whispers, gnawing, slithering through marrow.The Souleaters appeared.M

  • Lucian's Undoing    CHAPTER 135

    CHAPTER 135The ruined temple of Ithrael stood before them—shattered columns, half-buried statues, and an eerie blue fire dancing in the wind. No birds. No wind. No sound. Just silence that pressed on their ears like a scream waiting to break."This is it," Kairis whispered, leaning against Dorian. Her wound still ached, but she refused to stay behind.Lucian looked around. "You sure this is the right place?""Yes," Elias said, eyes fixed ahead. "I can feel it. It's calling."They walked slowly into the ruins. The deeper they went, the colder it became. The blue light pulsed like a heartbeat.At the heart of the ruin, they saw it:A floating orb of pure fire—gold, violet, and blue. Flames curled outward, spinning slowly around a sword embedded in black stone. The sword looked ancient. Cracked. Sleeping."The Thirteenth Flame," Kairis breathed.Dorian let out a low whistle. "That thing looks alive."Lucian nodded. "Feels like it too."Elias stepped forward. "Let me try.""Are you sure?

  • Lucian's Undoing    CHAPTER 134

    CHAPTER 134A loud, deep sound rang across the sky—a sound of breaking. The ground tore open in massive jagged lines—black light spilling from the cracks like veins of the void. Trees fell. Rivers stopped flowing.And through those cracks, they came.Wolves. Huge ones. Claws like blades, teeth stained in blood. Thousands of them. The Lycan Hordes from the North.Dragons. But not the peaceful kind—no. These were old bloodlines. Twisted. Long asleep. Some walked in human form, cloaked in fire. Others flew above, breathing ash.And then came the elemental war tribes. Sand-skinned creatures riding storms. Women with water-blades swirling around their arms. Children of lightning, eyes glowing with electric rage.It was a cataclysm.And standing on a rocky ridge, overlooking all of it—Elias.Dorian stepped beside him, wiping sweat from his brow. “They’re not stopping.”“They won’t,” Elias said. “The cracks opened too wide.”Lucian walked up next, blade resting on his shoulder. “Some of the

  • Lucian's Undoing    CHAPTER 133

    CHAPTER 133Something cracked.A soft sound at first, like glass being tapped by a nail. But then it spread—deep and sharp—through the world, through the sky, through the heavens.Crack.Crack.Crack.Nihareth stood at the edge of the Gate of Dawn, a massive glowing arch made of pure divine crystal. It shimmered in white and gold, humming with the energy of the gods.His long cloak billowed behind him. Black mist moved with his steps. Around him, his cult stood silently—hooded, faceless, loyal.He reached out and placed one hand on the gate.The surface rippled under his fingers.“So soft now,” he whispered. “So weak.”One of the corrupted demigods behind him stepped forward. “Shall we begin?”Nihareth smiled faintly. “Yes. Begin.”He pressed both hands against the gate and began to chant.The ground shook.The light dimmed.A crack snapped across the pillar.The Gate of Dawn, once beautiful and holy, began to bleed.Black veins crawled across its body like rot spreading through a tre

  • Lucian's Undoing    CHAPTER 132

    CHAPTER 132“We’re ready,” Dorian said, stepping forward, his boots crunching over blackened earth.Elias stood at the edge of the cliff, golden eyes glowing faintly. His cloak fluttered behind him in the wind. “How many?”“Thousands,” Lucian said from beside him. “All under your command. They await your word.”Kairis walked up, brushing her silver hair behind one ear. “Cerberus is chained, waiting. The beast is restless.”“He’ll fight when it’s time,” Elias said calmly.Kai appeared behind her, his arm bandaged but his posture strong. “The vampires are aligned. They bow only to you now.”Elias didn’t speak for a moment. His gaze swept over the land below, where tents and outposts stretched across the dark fields. Fires burned low. The air smelled of ash and power.“It’s really happening,” he murmured.Lucian turned toward him. “It is. And they trust you, Elias. All of them.”Shadow-born warriors, covered in swirling dark runes, stood silently around the field. The army from hell—horn
