The Blood Bound Legacy Chapter 182 : What Grows from Ruin
Sariah flew backward, landing hard against a stone. Pain exploded through her ribs, but she was already scrambling up, eyes blazing.Isolde lunged for the echo, but it vanished, dissolved into mist and voice and promise.The throne cracked again, and what remained of it, and the sky above split down its middle.Not from light. From something coming through. Something vast.And the echo’s voice rang out from everywhere at once.“You broke the cycle. Now watch what grows from the ruin.”The voice faded, but its presence lingered like smoke clinging to skin. It left behind something sticky in the air, unspoken dread, unspent power, a tension that refused to be released.Sariah groaned as she pushed herself upright. Her ribs ached from the impact, but nothing felt broken. The pain was useful; it kept her grounded, gave her something tangible to hold onto while the world came apart around her.Above, the sky remained torn. Not bleeding, not glowing. Just… exposed, like a wound too deep to
The Blood Bound Legacy Chapter 181: The One That Wears Her Face
Sariah didn’t lower her blade.She couldn’t. Not when the thing standing before her had her voice, her eyes, her posture only sharpened, hollowed. This wasn’t a reflection. It was an improvement. Or at least, that’s what it wanted her to think.“I’m not afraid of you,” Sariah said, voice steady.The echo smiled, tilting its head in a way that was too deliberate to be instinct. “No. You’re afraid of what I represent. You’re afraid that I’m what you could have become if you hadn’t been soft. If you hadn’t hesitated.”“I’m not the one hiding behind stolen skin.”“It’s not stolen. It’s offered,” the echo said calmly. “By the Fold. By the part of you that still remembers what it felt like to be unseen. To be underestimated. I am your ambition without restraint. I am you, but without the constant ache of approval.”“You’re not me.”“You’re what you were trying to become. Until she came along.”The echo’s gaze flicked to Isolde, and for a moment, Sariah’s heart stuttered. Not because she fea
The Blood Bound Legacy Chapter 180: The Reckoning Before the Return
The sky was wrong.Sariah didn’t know how else to describe it. The stars had begun to reorder themselves, blinking in and out like ancient eyes trying to remember what they were supposed to see. Every few moments, she felt the world twitch, not shake, not tremble. Just… twitch, like a breath caught in the throat of the universe.It had been nearly a day since Isolde vanished into the Origin.And still, the silence screamed.The woman in violet flame, who had given them no name and no answers, sat by the smoldering remains of the throne, as though guarding it from nothing. Or everything. She hadn't spoken since Isolde had disappeared. She hadn’t moved. Her flame pulsed low and steady, a heartbeat no one dared interrupt.Sariah’s nerves had stretched thin. She’d paced the perimeter of the Citadel’s ruins until her legs ached. She’d argued with Cael’s second, Evin, about whether they should prepare for evacuation, or a siege, or worse. None of them agreed. No one knew what waited.“I can
The Blood Bound Legacy Chapter 179: The Thing That Waits
The chamber was impossibly vast, but the silence made it feel smaller, like the air was pressing inward, squeezing the edges of her breath. Isolde rose to her feet slowly, every muscle tight, the weight of what she’d just experienced still ghosting through her. The floor beneath her boots was smooth and dark, not stone or metal, but something else entirely, like obsidian soaked in memory.Cael lay crumpled against the far wall, his body held up only by the golden chains embedded in the air around him. They were not physical and not visible at first glance, but they shimmered faintly when she moved closer, buzzing with containment magic older than language.His blood was drying across his jaw, but he was breathing.Barely. She stepped forward. And the shadow moved. Not across the wall, not down from the ceiling. It moved within the room itself, displacing air, warping space, folding light like parchment.“Don’t,” it whispered.A voice that wasn’t a voice. It was breath. Thought. Cold f
The Blood Bound Legacy Chapter 178: The Origin is a Mirror
There was no light, no darkness either . Just sensation. A pulsing presence like breath against the back of her neck, like eyes opening in a room where no one was meant to look.Isolde stood still because motion was meaningless here. The ground wasn’t ground. The air wasn’t air. It was all... memory. Living memory. As if the world had collapsed inward and wrapped itself around thought. Around feeling.This was the place the Hollow had whispered about. This was the Origin.And it wasn’t a location. It was a question.Who are you when no one is watching?The words weren’t spoken. They were known.She took a slow step forward—not because she was sure it mattered, but because she needed the reminder that she still could. The shard in her hand pulsed like a heartbeat, guiding her forward.Shapes began to form ahead of her. Shadowed outlines of people, places, moments. They twisted in and out of clarity, reflections of her life, but warped. Familiar faces with unfamiliar eyes. Choices she’d
The Blood Bound Legacy Chapter 177: The Woman Who Remembered the End
The woman who called herself a failed prophecy stood with fire licking the edges of her cloak, yet it did not burn her skin. She was too still, as if every breath she took was calculated, rationed. Around her, the ground smoldered where she walked, not from heat, but from memory. The land reacted to her the way it had once responded to the Fold: with recognition. With dread.Isolde didn’t speak at first. She kept her posture measured, but her heart thudded in her chest like it remembered something her mind had not yet caught up to. There was something ancient about this stranger, something heavy and worn and deeply tired.“Who are you really?” Isolde asked.The woman turned her gaze toward her, and for a moment, her eyes shimmered not with flame but with sorrow. “Once, I was the one who was supposed to sit on the throne. Before either of you was born. Before the Fold had a name.”Cael stepped forward cautiously. “That would make you—”“Dead,” the woman said. “I was supposed to be dead
The Blood Bound Legacy Chapter 176: The Breaking Sky and the Voice Beneath
And then the stars above them began to fall. Not gently. Not like wishes. Like judgment.Flaming, raw slashes across the heavens, tearing the sky into burning scars. One after another, the stars collapsed from their constellations, crashing not into the earth, but into memory. The ground didn’t shake, but their minds did. Visions hit them like lightning strikes: flashes of other lives, other timelines, moments that could have been or never should have been.Isolde dropped to one knee as the images poured through her. She saw herself standing at a child’s grave, one hand pressed to the cold soil, her other hand ablaze with power she no longer controlled. She saw cities under her protection… or her rule? The details twisted together. She saw Sariah on the throne. She saw Jalen in chains. And in all of them, she was alone.“No,” she whispered. “No, no—this isn’t real.”Beside her, Sariah clutched her head, her face contorted with pain. “They’re showing us futures,” she gasped. “Futures t
The Blood Bound Legacy Chapter 175: The Throne’s Voice
The world didn’t break. It folded.Reality didn’t shatter like glass under pressure; it bent, rippling like silk dragged through water, seamless and wrong. Isolde staggered backward, every nerve in her body screaming as the energy radiating from the throne piece in Jalen’s hand cracked open the boundary between thought and form.She heard the voice again, but this time it didn’t feel like it came from the outside. It unspooled within her, lacing through the gaps in her spine, coiling around the fragile trust she’d built in herself.Let her bleed. Let her choose. Or let her kneel. It wasn’t a threat. It was a promise.Sariah reached out, grabbing Isolde’s wrist. Her grip was tight, but her eyes were full of questions, not rage. “What is this? I thought it was calling me.”Isolde’s voice was a breath above a whisper. “It’s not calling you. It’s testing me.”Sariah blinked. “Why?”“Because I left something behind when I walked away,” she answered, her throat raw with realization. “Not ju
The Blood Bound Legacy Chapter 174: When Silence Begins to Bleed
For a long time, neither of them moved.Isolde stood still as stone, her fingers relaxed but ready. Her breathing was even, but her pulse beat at the base of her throat like a war drum she couldn't ignore. She didn’t need to reach for her power; it was already awake, alert, flickering just beneath the surface like a sleeping storm roused by tension in the air. Sariah’s presence didn’t press against her like an enemy’s; it circled her like a question, unanswered and insistent.Across from her, Sariah stood tall, her face unreadable, but her posture not unkind. There was nothing reckless about the way she held herself. If anything, her restraint was what worried Isolde the most. People who wanted power usually telegraphed their hunger. Sariah radiated something colde,r certainty. And certainty was always more dangerous than ambition.“You don’t look like what I expected,” Sariah said finally, her voice low and even.Isolde tilted her head slightly. “And what did you expect?”Sariah shru
