THALRION

"Lord Thalrion...you must get me justice..." I hear her wailing before I see her.

The Fae Queen is gone, dust and ashes scattering in the wind, leaving a void that reeks of opportunity and she comes to me.

I sit in the dim light of my war chamber, maps and scrolls scattered across the obsidian table, the flickering glow of enchanted torches casting long shadows across the walls. The air smells of iron and ash, a faint tang of magic left over from yesterday's experiments. I have been

  • THE TRIBID HOCKEY GOD & HIS OBSESSION   CHAPTER 160: HOSTILITY

    CASSAIN "Why come into my home?"Most people break within seconds.Not out of weakness.Out of instinct.Because there's something in my eyes that pushes them backwards but he doesn't break.His eyes hold mine with the same intensity.Not challenging.Not aggressive.Just... unmoving.That annoys me more than open defiance.I tilt my head slightly.He mirrors nothing.Doesn't react.Seconds pass.Then more.Silence thickens until it becomes almost unbearable.Behind me, I can feel Alexander's amusement building.Of course, he finds this entertaining.He always does when things teeter on the edge of violence."You two are going to start a war with your eyes," he drawls lazily, "or should I grab popcorn?"I ignore him.Aristotle doesn't.A faint smirk touches his mouth.Strike one."You're staring too hard Cassain, I am no competition of yours because she is my blood sister" he says finally.His voice is calm.Even.Almost amused."I don't like you," I reply.Honesty saves time.His br

  • THE TRIBID HOCKEY GOD & HIS OBSESSION   CHAPTER 159: BROTHER

    EVELESSA Cameras flash in rapid bursts, the crowd a blur of faces and expectation as I step onto the stage. I'm no longer Evelessa. My hips sway with practiced precision, each step concise, and flawless. The fabric draped over my body is barely there; black silk cut into something daring, sharp lines hugging curves like it was made for me and only me. Maybe it was. The crowd loves it. I put on a big smile and wave to the crowd. Something shifts above. My gaze flicks upwards and I see a lighting board about to fall but I don't stop walking because stopping means panicking which ultimately gets people killed. I calculate distance. Impact. Angle. Timing. Three seconds. I could move. Of course I could. But the people near the stage? They won't be fast enough. So I shift slightly. Ready to catch it. Ready to take the hit. A force slams into me from the side. I'm off balance for exactly half a second before I correct, my body twisting mid-fall but I don't hit the grou

  • THE TRIBID HOCKEY GOD & HIS OBSESSION   CHAPTER 158: GRIEF

    EVELESSA "You are the reason he's dead..." Grief is dangerous. Not because it weakens you but because of what it becomes when it sharpens into something with teeth. The cemetery hasn't emptied yet. People linger in cluster, soft voices, hushed condolences, hands brushing shoulders like that's enough to hold someone together. It never is. I feel her before I see her. That shift in the air. That sudden, violent intention. Cassain is mid-sentence beside me, something low and strategic, but my attention is already gone. Locked. Focused. On her. Detective Hall's wife. She moves too fast for a human drowning in grief. A blade shaking slightly in her grip but not from hesitation. From emotion. From rage that hasn't found a place to land. "Evelessa..." Cassain's voice snaps sharp beside me, but I'm already moving. She lunges. It's not graceful. It's not trained. It's pure, desperate violence. A woman who has nothing left to lose aiming everything she has at the thing

  • THE TRIBID HOCKEY GOD & HIS OBSESSION   CHAPTER 157: FUNERAL

    CASSAIN I've been to more funerals than I can count.War does that to you.It teaches you how to stand still while the world caves in around someone else.How to keep your face blank while grief claws its way through a room, looking for somewhere to land.How to pretend that death is... expected.It's all lies.Every single time.The cemetery is quiet.We discovered Hall's body displayed at the entrance of the campus and the whole school had been thrown into a state of panic.I stand at the back at his funeral. Just... not in the center.This isn't my grief to claim.But that doesn't mean it doesn't sit heavy in my chest anyway.Detective Hall's coffin rests at the front.Thalrion didn't just kill him.He made a statement.We're all here to read it.People gather slowly.Humans.Colleagues.Family.Friends.All dressed in black like that somehow makes death more respectful.More acceptable.It doesn't.It just makes everything look colder.Then she arrives.His wife.Everything shif

  • THE TRIBID HOCKEY GOD & HIS OBSESSION   CHAPTER 156: PROVOCATION

    THALRION "They're dead."The words echo uselessly.As if I didn't already know.As if the thread binding me to every man I send out doesn't snap the moment their heart stops beating.As if I didn't feel each one of them fall.I stand with my back to the room, staring out into the endless stretch of dark forest beyond my territory.Behind me, my men shift uneasily.No one dares to speak again because there's nothing left to say.Five of them.One of my lieutenants included.Sent to eliminate a boy.A boy.And yet, they didn't just fail; they were dismantled.Erased.Humiliated.My jaw tightens.Alexander.That name lingers in my mind like an insult.He is not supposed to be this strong.Not under my watch.Yet, every report, every whisper, every severed bond tells me he is becoming a problem.I exhale slowly."All you do is fail, fail, fail. Just leave now"The word is quiet.But absolute.The room empties instantly.Bootsteps fade.Doors close and finally I am alone.Silence wraps ar

  • THE TRIBID HOCKEY GOD & HIS OBSESSION   CHAPTER 155: WRONG NIGHT

    ALEXANDER I'm in the mood for violence.The campus is quiet.Most students are inside, pretending life is normal.Meanwhile, somewhere out there, a war is slowly stretching its fingers toward us.Cute.I shove my hands into my pockets and stroll across the empty courtyard, dragging my steps just enough to look relaxed.Unbothered.Careless.It's not an act.Well... not entirely but I want them to think it is because if someone's watching, and I know someone isI want them to feel confident and careless, believing I do not see them already so they'd be even more wreckless. I step into the darker path behind the library and the shadows shift.I don't stop walking."Alright," I mutter under my breath."Let's get this over with. Just come out already. You've been acting like bodyguards for so long just come out for your payment."A figure drops behind me.Another in front.Two more to my left and right.Four.There they are.A slow smile pulls at my lips."Wow," I say, clapping once sof
