MAD END'S DECEPTION 273 - Every Path Fails
ARAHShe saw Araheen standing at the crest of a hill, her gaze locked on the chaos unfolding below. Flames licked the edges of the camps, casting a flickering, sinister glow across the steppe surrounding the garrison. The night air pulsed with the thrum of magic and the heavy scent of scorched earth and churned soil.A few feet away, two eagles perched in silence. Their wings fluttered now and then, breaking the stillness with soft, sharp screeches. Their calm presence was a contrast to the violence echoing across the plains—clashing steel, whistling arrows, and the guttural roars of warriors locked in combat.Arah could feel it all. The spirit of the battle was seeping into her skin, winding through her chest, curling tightly around her gut.They were on a battlefield. The salamanders and sylphs were fighting.Araheen wasn’t here alone.A male sylph sat on a tree stump nearby, calmly polishing his longsword. His dark blue h
MAD END'S DECEPTION 272 - The Fate Awaiting The World
ARAHNick led her into a chamber with white brick walls, each one painted with intricate sigils. Overhead, constellations were etched into the ceiling, glowing softly like they were alive. The floor was an illusion—one moment it felt like walking on a sea of clouds, the next like floating above a void of endless darkness.It didn’t unsettle her much as she was used to heights. Floating came naturally to her, a reflex buried deep in her sylph nature. Still, she had to admit it was eerie. And she’d be lying if she said it didn’t give her goosebumps.Ahead, women stood silently on either side of what looked like an aisle down the center of the room. She counted seven on each side. They wore long white cloaks, their sleek white hair braided neatly down their backs. Pale blue eyes peeked out from behind white veils that covered the upper halves of their faces.They looked just like the veiled women who had shown young A
MAD END'S DECEPTION 271 - Another Memory
ARAHBy this time, Father had been promoted to general. And it meant Araheen was now the daughter of the most powerful figure in sylph society. This didn’t surprise Arah, for Father had always carried a commanding presence. Authority clung to him like armor.What she didn’t expect… was to see herself included in a high-level military council. She wasn’t really at the center of the discussion. She was merely standing at the back, alongside other sylphs around her age, all of whom likely held important positions as well.Still, it was a striking contrast to the days when Young Araheen had to hide behind walls just to eavesdrop on conversations like these.“The poison mist we released in the eastern region failed to deliver its intended result,” said Lord Erminius, seated beside her father. “The salamanders seem to have developed an even greater resistance.”“At this rate, the weapon we’ve invested years into will become obsolete,” an
MAD END'S DECEPTION 270 - Avenge Their Deaths
ARAHYoung Araheen screamed. The sound tore from her throat like it had clawed through every cell of her body. She collapsed to her knees, hands trembling, mouth frozen in a silent wail of horror.Arah wept with her. It didn’t matter that she was only witnessing a memory. The grief struck like a physical blow. Her heart felt crushed, again and again, as though something inside her chest had turned to glass and shattered.She wanted to look away. But she couldn’t.The corpses before Young Araheen were barely recognizable, grotesque echoes of the people she loved. Siegfrid’s chest was torn open, ribs shattered and twisted like splintered wood. Whip marks and deep lash wounds striped his arms and legs—some still raw, others blackened with rot.Irmeena’s face was deformed, swollen, the bone shattered beneath bruised skin. Parts of her body were scorched; burnt flesh curled and cracked around deep claw marks gouged into her legs and sid
MAD END'S DECEPTION 269 - Through His Sylphic Shackles
ARAHShe was pulled into another memory. This time, she was merely a passenger, riding alongside the consciousness of her younger self.Young Araheen’s eyes fluttered open to a blur of shifting trees and rolling land. The world bounced and swayed. She smelled the coarse, familiar scent of horsehair. Beneath her, the rhythmic thunder of hooves beat fast against the earth. They were moving quickly, fleeing, perhaps, from someone or something.She was seated in front of the rider. Her small back was nestled against a woman’s chest, the curve of her breasts cushioning the sharp jostle of the ride. Strands of fiery red hair brushed against her cheeks. The woman smelled of herbs, smoke, and something sweet and unfamiliar—like wild honey mixed with ash.Young Araheen tilted her head back, struggling to see the rider. A stunning woman looked down at her with eyes the color of a fading sunset.“What did you do to me?” she blurted out, panic
MAD END'S DECEPTION 268 - A Leash On Your Power
ARAHIn the blink of an eye, she was back as her present self. She stood in a dimly lit chamber, the walls and floor etched with countless sigils she didn’t recognize. The only source of light came from an old-style fire basin. Flames flickered upward in a cone, casting shadows around a circular stone platform in the center of the room.There, sitting on her heels in the heart of that platform, was the younger version of herself.Zephyr stood before her.Arah stepped quietly to the side for a clearer view. Young Araheen wore a black cloak, and the matching scarf had slipped loosely around her shoulders. Even though she was only watching a memory, Arah could still feel every sensation, every emotion pulsing through her younger self.Young Araheen was scared, but at the same time, she trusted Zephyr. There were still doubts—unspoken hesitations tangled in her gut—but maybe it was innocence... or blind hope that made her believe she c
