MasukChapter 60: Back to hellDr. Thorn nodded like he had expected nothing less."The things you did to me... they broke something inside me that might never heal. Abiagan continued, “But I will accept your help. For them, because they are my family now, and I will do anything to protect them. Even if it means working with you.""That's more than I deserve," Dr. Thorn said quietly, and the gratitude in his voice was almost painful to hear. "Thank you."He moved to a computer and pulled up files and diagrams, his movements businesslike."I have been researching corrupted Virethian energy since our last conversation," he explained, typing rapidly. "Trying to understand how it works. How it spreads. How to fight it. And I think I have found something."He pulled up an image… a complex diagram of energy patterns and mathematical formulas that made Jaime's head spin just from looking at it."This is a shielding spell," Dr. Thorn said, pointing to various elements of the diagram. "Based on Vir
chapter 59: Going Through Everything Together Everyone was quiet. No one spoke nor moved. The silence stretched, heavy with the weight of terrible history. "Please," Jaime said, breaking the silence that felt like it might crush them all. His voice came out desperate, pleading. "You said if I needed help, I could come to you. We need help. Badly. Can we come in?" Dr. Thorn looked at the group again. Really looked. Saw their exhausted faces, pale with fear and sleeplessness. Saw the small child clutching a stuffed cat, her eyes haunted in a way no child's should be. Saw Thomas barely staying upright, his condition worsened by stress and exertion. Saw Rosa standing like a shield in front of Penny. Saw his son, desperate and terrified and still trying to save everyone. And saw Abiagan, the being he had tortured for fifty years, shaking like a leaf in a storm but standing there anyway because he had no other choice. Something in Dr. Thorn's chest cracked. "Yes," he said, steppin
Chapter 58 : into the commercial areaThe sound of feet padding through the wet pavements echoed in the night. Halfway across the street, Jaime's energy sight exploded with warnings.Dark multiple signatures. Coming fast from both directions like wolves closing in on prey."They are here!" he shouted, his voice cracking with panic. "RUN!"Everyone sprinted even harder. Penny's short legs couldn't keep up, so Rosa scooped her up without breaking stride, the child's weight making her stumble but not stop. Thomas ran as fast as his deteriorating nerves would allow, his face twisted with pain and effort to stay alive. Marcus and Jaime flanked them, ready to fight if needed.Dark shapes appeared at both ends of the street. Their movements were wrong… too fluid, too fast, limbs bending at angles that shouldn't be possible. Their aura is not as strong as Mr. Harrison or Kris, but dangerous nonetheless."Keep going!" Jaime shouted, his wolf rising in his chest, desperate to protect his pack.
CHAPTER 57: Safe HavenTen minutes later, they stood in the living room with their bags packed.They didn't carry much. A few changes of clothes. Some food. Personal items that meant something to them. Everything else… the furniture, the decorations, the memories… had to be left behind.Rosa stood in the middle of the room, looking around slowly. Her fingers traced the arm of the couch where Penny curled up every evening with her books. The kitchen table where they had shared so many meals. The worn rug that had been there when she first moved in twelve years ago, back when the grief of losing her son was still fresh."I hate leaving this place," she said quietly, her voice thick with emotion."I know," Thomas said, putting a trembling hand on her shoulder. His condition made even this simple gesture difficult, but he managed it because Rosa needed the comfort. "But we will come back. When this is over, we will come back and it will be waiting for us.""Will it?" Rosa's voice cracked.
THE COUNTDOWN. The street fell silent except for the sound of their heavy breathing.Marcus could speak again. He gasped, clutching his throat. "What... what the hell was that thing?""A nightmare," Jaime said quietly. "A living nightmare."Abiagan pulled free from Jaime's grip and ran toward the house."Abiagan, wait" Jaime called, but he didn't stop.Abiagan burst through the front door. Jaime and Marcus followed close behind.Inside, they found everyone huddled in the living room. Rosa held Penny in her lap, rocking her gently. Thomas stood nearby, his hands shaking worse than usual. The little girl was crying softly, her face buried in Rosa's shoulder."Penny!" Abiagan dropped to his knees beside them. "Are you okay? Did it hurt you?"Penny looked up with tear-stained eyes. "It felt like... like something was inside my head. Squeezing. It hurt so much.""I am sorry," Abiagan whispered, his voice breaking. "I am so, so sorry. This is all my fault.""This is not your fault," Rosa s
The Commander's HeraldThe three of them stood frozen in the middle of the street, staring at the cloaked figure in front of Rosa's house.Jaime's energy sight was screaming at him. The dark signature radiating from this being was unlike anything he had seen before. It wasn't just corrupted, it was purely concentrated. Pure. Like all the darkness in the world had been compressed into one form standing in front of them."Who are you?" Jaime demanded, his wolf rising to the surface despite his exhaustion.The figure didn't move. Didn't react. Just stood there, perfectly still, like a statue carved from shadow.Then it spoke."I am the Herald."The voice was wrong. So wrong that it made Jaime's teeth ache and his bones vibrate. It wasn't loud, but it filled the entire street, echoing off buildings and into their skulls."I am the Commander's voice. His will manifest. His judgment will be delivered."The figure slowly raised its hands and pulled back its hood.Jaime's breath caught in his
