I ran to the spot she was standing just a moment ago.

The darkness was instant and absolute, a physical weight slamming down after the searing brightness. I didn’t think; I just moved, scrambling across the unseen floor toward where the light had been centered, where my Mother’s presence had been.

My hands swept the cold stone, searching for any lingering warmth, any residual energy, any evidence that she hadn't been a complete illusion. There was nothing. Just the unrelenting cold and the silence.

I kept looking around as tears burned behind my eyes, hot and stinging, a physical manifestation of the anguish that was ripping through my chest. The pain wasn't just sadness; it was a profound, wrenching sense of loss, made worse by the terrifying knowledge that she had been here, a hair's breadth away, only to be yanked back into the void. The raw emotion tightened my throat as it tightened, making it hard to draw a clean breath.

"Mother..."

The word was just a dry, broken sob, swa

    The time for petty talk is over, now let the real fun begin.The mental statement came with that same cold, voiceless echo, followed by a change in his stance. He drew himself up, his idle interest giving way to a tense, ready menace. The air, already freezing and heavy with rot, seemed to tremble with expectation. He meant to end the games, and that sent raw fear racing through me. I knew his idea of fun meant endless torment.No. I refused to let him control the fight. I had to take charge, even if only for a moment.“Or maybe you should stop being a coward and fight me like a normal person,” I cut in, wincing at the word normal since he was far from it, “get out of my head and come at me physically.”The boldness stunned even me. I felt Aliya's quiet growl of support in my mind. It was a bold gamble, meant to pull him from his lofty mental rule into a place where I could stand a chance, the real world. He spoke without lips or voice, staying beyond my reach, and that made him invin

    I forced my eyes open, clamping my teeth on my lip to dull the hurt. The iron taste of blood hit me hard against the eerie quiet that choked the place. I shoved the sting in my side into a dull ache. I needed to see what remained.Alexa? I called in my mind. The link felt weak, far away, like yelling into a storm.But she answered softly, Something has gone terribly wrong, Ashley. I don't know what is happening or happened but...Her words faded, and the quiet she left screamed in my head. Alexa never cut off like that. Her uncertainty scared me more than any visible danger.But what? I asked, standing despite the pain.A breath nearly slipped out as my sore muscles rebelled, but I held it in. Pain came second. The cool ground moved under me, and I scanned the empty area, looking for any sign of the pillar, of Adrian, of Katrina. Gone. All of it vanished.He’s here, another voice said in my head. Aliya.Aliya's tone was deep, fierce, ready for battle. It brought awful relief. At least

    A sudden cold wind blew through the area, making me shiver deeply. The air became very icy right away, and with that change— dread. It was more than just getting cooler; it was a quick, strong pull of all heat, like falling into a dark cave during a cold season. The switch happened so fast it seemed less like normal weather and more like something pushing in—a thick cover of freezing fear. My breathing stopped short, turning into a seen mist before it faded into the strong chill. My skin felt rough, the small hairs rising up, not only from the low temperature but from a basic, deep scare that went into my body. Every feeling told me to escape, to find cover, but my feet stayed stuck, trapped in the quick freeze. “Ashley!!!” Adrian yelled my name. The noise of my name, pulled from his mouth with such strong fear, broke through the quiet of the chill like a real hit. It was a noise that ended the hold of the freezing air, shaking me from my short freeze. That yell—it wasn’t the call

    Their powers hit our little team with full strength without letting us catch our breath. The group of monsters struck our row like a big wave crashing into a weak barrier. The noise was very loud—a bad blend of growling, ripping skin, and the loud shouts of our fighters. There was no chance for plans, only quick, urgent protection. The crash sent a shake through our setup, making me put all my attention into holding against the pure, body force of the foe.I tried again to use Alexa's power. Even with the strong being of Aliya, the dragon force, flowing through my center, I felt not whole. The dragon was strong, but odd, not known. I needed the rough, known wildness of my Wolf, the natural, battling anger that was part of my true self. I reached into the quiet empty space where Alexa had been caught, sending out an urgent, inner request, a fighter's call for her other part.And amazingly, she answered and came alive inside me with a roar. The comeback was quick, strong, and wonderful.

    I ran to them while my thoughts spun. The relief was a physical force, overwhelming the exhaustion and the fear. I didn’t run with grace; I stumbled, propelled by the desperate, raw need to confirm this impossible reality. The ground beneath my feet was soft and yielding, a stark contrast to the cold, hard stone of the forgotten hall, yet my mind refused to trust the sensation. Nothing made sense. The shift had been too complete, too absolute. It shattered all my comprehension of time and space. Was it an illusion? Or is this an illusion? I couldn't distinguish between the nightmare and the miracle. Was the ancient chamber the dream, or was this sun-dappled clearing, this sudden, impossible reunion, merely the final, cruel layer of the villain’s magic? A brief, deceptive calm before the true terror began? I hugged my mother to be sure they were real. I didn't reach for her with a gentle embrace; I crashed into her, my arms closing around her with desperate, consuming force, burying

    His body whipped around in a swift motion, so fast it was less a physical turning and more a shift in the air itself. The blind, channeling emptiness that had possessed him vanished, replaced by a terrible, immediate lucidity. The failure of the ritual had ripped him out of his trance, forcing him back into the cold, strategic cruelty of his own mind. His body was tense, coils of uncontrolled, angry power radiating off him in hot, suffocating waves. And his eyes landed directly on me. I was no longer pretending to look ahead. The necessity of the disguise had crumbled with the bowl. I dropped the vacant stare, allowing the fire of my defiance, the sheer, blazing fury of the dragon-awakening, to show. I was looking back at him now as his scowl deepened. The raw, predatory rage that distorted his features was chilling, an expression of absolute hatred toward the one small human who dared to ruin his millennia-in-the-making plan. His eyes had returned back to their black, hollow, soul
