Pledged by birth to ancient obligations he barely understands, the unnamed heir grapples with a destiny that demands secrecy and sacrifice. Cloaked in shadows within his ancestral keep, he learns to read arcane symbols whispered through generations. When political machinations from the gilded twilight city threaten to expose his lineage—and his potential—he must navigate deception and hidden loyalties to claim what is rightfully his. Guided by a devoted guardian, and haunted by the weight of prophecy, he must choose whether to embrace the power he fears or shatter the silence that has long protected him.

Shadow Heir Chapter 30- The Mask slip
The chill in the air was sharper now, carrying the scent of pine and old secrets. Eolan’s footsteps echoed softly on the stone stairs leading down from the battlements, where the stars above offered no comfort—only a silent witness to the growing storm. Inside the command tent, the council awaited, faces drawn tight with exhaustion and dread. But today, something had shifted. Aera’s usually steady gaze darted nervously, Ying’s jaw clenched harder than usual, and Rafa’s calm veneer showed cracks beneath the surface. Eolan held the folded parchment that had set this chain of suspicion in motion. The strange symbols were no longer just ominous markings—they were a code. A warning. And, more terrifyingly, a signature. He cleared his throat, drawing the room’s attention. “We’ve deciphered part of the message. It wasn’t just a warning to us. It’s a direct message—to one of us.” Aera’s breath hitched. Ying’s eyes narrowed sharply. Rafa’s hand twitched slightly, and Eolan caught it. “T

The cold bit sharper than ever as the camp settled into a restless silence. Frost coated every surface, glittering under the dim light of lanterns, yet it did nothing to warm the growing chill in Eolan’s chest. Trust had become a brittle thing here—easily shattered, impossible to mend. He moved toward the command tent, the heavy fabric flapping slightly in the bitter wind. Rafa was already inside, pacing before a table cluttered with maps and hastily scrawled notes. Aera and Ying were there as well, their faces drawn tight, eyes flickering with suspicion. Eolan’s footsteps were quiet but deliberate. “What’s the latest?” Rafa didn’t look up. “The supply routes are still compromised. Scouts report strange movements near the eastern ridge—footprints too large to be human, but inconsistent with any known creatures.” Aera tapped the table sharply. “The Creed isn’t just sending spies. They’re using beasts now, or something worse. It means the traitor’s helping them more than we thought.

The gray light of dawn seeped through the cracks of the war tent, cold and unforgiving. Outside, the camp stirred, but inside, a thick silence weighed heavy over the council gathered around the scarred wooden table. Eolan stared down at the spread of maps and notes, but his mind was elsewhere — tangled in the webs of betrayal and fear that clung to every breath. Rafa’s hands trembled slightly as he held a small, folded piece of parchment. The edges were singed, brittle with age, and the strange ink shimmered faintly in the dim light. “This was found near the southern perimeter just before dawn,” he said quietly, breaking the silence. “Left behind by someone — or something — who wants us to know they are watching.” Aera leaned forward, fingers twitching over the table. “What does it say?” Rafa’s eyes darkened as he carefully unfolded the note and spread it on the table. The symbols writhed in an ancient script — a language few alive truly understood. Slowly, Eolan’s eyes caught the

Chapter 27 — The Hunt Begins, In a camp filled with whispers and wary glances, every friend could be a foe. The traitor’s shadow lurks closer than anyone dares admit. Trust is fragile, and time is running out. The cold seeped into every corner of the northern camp, matching the chill in Eolan’s gut. Since the betrayal was uncovered at the temple, nothing had felt the same. The faces around him—once comrades in arms—now seemed masked in suspicion. Every glance carried the weight of a question: who could be trusted? Who was hiding the darkest truths? Eolan stood outside the war tent, watching the flicker of firelight through the canvas. Rafa was inside, hunched over maps and ancient texts, tracing lines with a finger and muttering incantations that made the runes glow faintly. The air hummed with a fragile hope — or perhaps a fragile tension. He tightened his cloak against the cold and stepped inside. “Any news?” Eolan asked, his voice low. Rafa looked up, eyes sharp. “The missin

The camp was a hive of uneasy murmurs. Since the temple raid, a shadow of distrust had settled over every corner, creeping into tents and council meetings alike. No one spoke openly of the betrayal, but eyes darted nervously, and every whisper seemed to carry a hidden meaning. Eolan paced in the war tent, the weight of recent events pressing heavily on him. Rafa sat across from him, fingers steepled, eyes narrowed. “Someone close to us,” Rafa said quietly. “Someone with access. They fed information to the Creed, sabotaged our efforts.” Eolan clenched his fists. “But who? We’ve looked at every face.” Aera entered, her expression tight. “Loyalties have shifted. Old alliances broken. There are those who profit from the chaos.” Ying’s voice was sharp as she joined them. “Even those we trust most can wear a mask.” --- The four leaders called a council. Warriors, scouts, and trusted advisers gathered, tension thick enough to cut with a blade. Names were whispered, accusations hinted
