LOGIN71:58:41Sophia stared at the countdown.Every second felt like a knife cutting through her heart.Elias was still in her arms.He looked like an ordinary baby.But his eyes were ancient.Too ancient.Sophia shook her head.“No.”Lucien looked at her.“Sophia.”“No.”She looked down at Elias.“He said we die.”Lucien stepped closer.“Then we change it.”Elias smiled.“That’s what you’re supposed to say.”Sophia’s eyes widened.“You’re enjoying this?”The baby giggled.“No, Mother.”His expression became serious.“I’m waiting for you to remember.”The Memory Beneath the MemorySophia closed her eyes.Immediately—darkness.Then a voice.Her own voice.“If you’re hearing this, everything has already gone wrong.”Sophia opened her eyes.She was standing inside a strange room.A room she had never seen.Across from her stood another version of herself.Older.Tired.Covered in blood.Sophia stared.“Who are you?”The woman smiled sadly.“I’m you.”Sophia shook her head.“No.”“Yes.”“What
The hospital room was quiet.For the first time in what felt like eternity, there were no screaming gods.No collapsing universes.No ancient prophecies.No Authors.No Creators.No war.Only the soft sound of a newborn baby breathing.Sophia looked down at him.Her son.Elias.Again.She smiled.“We’re finally home.”Lucien sat beside her.He looked exhausted.But peaceful.He gently touched the baby’s tiny hand.“He’s beautiful.”Sophia laughed softly.“Of course he is.”Lucien looked at her.“You know something?”“What?”“I think he’s going to be trouble.”Sophia smiled.“He’s our son.”Lucien laughed.“Exactly.”Then the baby opened his eyes.Silver.Bright.Ancient.Sophia’s smile disappeared.“Lucien.”He looked at the baby.The tiny hand suddenly closed around his finger.And the baby whispered:“Father.”Lucien froze.Sophia stopped breathing.The baby smiled.A Baby Who Shouldn’t SpeakLucien slowly pulled his hand away.“Did you hear that?”Sophia nodded.“Yes.”The baby loo
The golden explosion swallowed the darkness.For the first time since Kai had been captured, the Author looked afraid.Not angry.Not amused.Afraid.Kai noticed.“So you’re scared.”The Author slowly turned toward him.“You don’t understand what you just did.”Kai smiled.“I don’t need to.”The golden spark continued expanding.It wasn’t destroying the Author’s world.It was rewriting its rules.Kai looked around.The endless shelves of books were disappearing.The walls were becoming transparent.Beyond them—Kai could see thousands of worlds.Thousands of lives.Thousands of possible versions of his family.The Author raised his hand.“Stop!”Kai shook his head.“No.”The Author’s expression hardened.“I created you.”Kai looked directly at him.“But Mother gave me a choice.”The Golden ThreadA golden thread appeared around Kai’s wrist.Then another.Then another.They stretched into the darkness.Kai recognized them.His family’s connections.One thread led to Sophia.Another to
The sea split into two.Water rose like enormous walls on either side of the ship.At the center stood the stranger.He looked exactly like Lucien.Same height.Same face.Same dark hair.Same commanding presence.But his eyes were red.And unlike Lucien, there was no warmth in them.Sophia stared at him.“Who are you?”The stranger smiled.“The brother your husband was never supposed to remember.”Lucien stepped forward.“Name.”The stranger laughed.“You don’t remember me?”Lucien’s expression remained cold.“No.”The stranger’s smile widened.“Then I’ll remind you.”He raised his sword.The entire ocean turned black.“My name is Lucarion.”The Second SonLucien’s mother stepped onto the shore.She looked at Sophia.Then at Lucien.Then at Lucarion.Her eyes filled with sadness.Lucien stared at her.“You said I was your only son.”She looked away.“I lied.”Sophia stepped closer.“Why?”The woman sighed.“Because I was afraid.”Lucien’s eyes hardened.“Afraid of what?”She pointed
Sophia fell through darkness.She couldn’t feel the ground.She couldn’t feel Lucien’s hand anymore.She could only hear one thing.Her own voice.“Now kill me too.”Then—CRASH!Sophia landed on cold marble.She opened her eyes.A wedding hall surrounded her.Thousands of people sat silently.Crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling.White roses covered the walls.A red carpet stretched toward an altar.And standing at the altar—was Damien.Alive.Young.Smiling.Sophia slowly stood.“No…”She looked down at herself.She was wearing a wedding dress.Her hands were covered in blood.A sword lay beside her.Damien looked at her.“You remember now.”Sophia shook her head.“This isn’t real.”Damien smiled.“It was real once.”The Wedding That Never HappenedLucien appeared behind her.He immediately grabbed her hand.“Sophia.”She turned.“Where are we?”Damien answered.“The first timeline.”Lucien’s expression hardened.“Why did you bring us here?”Damien looked at Sophia.“Because s
The stars stopped collapsing.Not because the woman had changed her mind.Because Lucien had spoken.“I choose Sophia.”The words echoed across creation.His mother stared at him.For several seconds, she said nothing.Then she smiled.It wasn’t a mother’s smile.It was the smile of someone who had just declared war.“Then you truly have become your father.”Lucien frowned.“My father?”Sophia looked at him.“Lucien…”His mother raised her hand.“You were never supposed to know.”“Know what?”“Who your father was.”Lucien’s expression hardened.“Tell me.”She looked toward Sophia.“Ask your wife.”Sophia froze.“Me?”The woman smiled.“She already knows.”Sophia’s Forgotten MemorySophia suddenly saw a memory.A woman holding a newborn baby.The baby had silver eyes.A young Sophia stood nearby.Beside her was the Creator.The woman was crying.“Please don’t take him.”The Creator shook his head.“He belongs to Sophia.”The woman screamed.“He is my son!”The Creator took the baby.So
