Mar’s face paled. “The Santo Order,” he muttered, rubbing a hand over his face. “Gods above.” He looked at Escuro with a new king of grim respect. “A dungeon by the docks,” Mar repeated, his mind already working through the logistics. “If they are keeping them there, it is because they do not want them wandering the streets. they are waiting for something. Or someone.” He straightened up, his blueish grey eyes hardening. “Look, I

    Mar’s face paled. “The Santo Order,” he muttered, rubbing a hand over his face. “Gods above.” He looked at Escuro with a new king of grim respect. “A dungeon by the docks,” Mar repeated, his mind already working through the logistics. “If they are keeping them there, it is because they do not want them wandering the streets. they are waiting for something. Or someone.” He straightened up, his blueish grey eyes hardening. “Look, I have found a way to undo what was done,” Escuro explained. “I just need someone to take me to Cidade dos Escravos.” Mar stared at Escuro, dead silent for several long seconds. The wind whipped a strand of chestnut brown hair across his forehead, but he did not blink. “Undo it,” Mar said, the words flat and sceptical. “You are telling me you can undo what that fountain did to her. My daughter’s mind, her soul– you can fix all that?

  • Where Ashes and Oaths Collide   Chapter 121: Distrito da Canle

    In Distrito da Canle, the docks were constructed from weathered timber planks, their uneven surfaces showing years of heavy use. Thick mooring ropes we coiled around large wooden bollards that lined the edges of the quay, while several stout barrels, woven baskets, and bundles of cargo sat neatly stacked along the right-hand side. The calm canal water ran alongside the docks, reflecting the muted daylight and the silhouettes of the surrounding stone buildings. A large wooden sailing vessel moored against the quay, its dark timber hull reinforced with horizontal planking and a single tall mast rising high above the deck, supported by intricate webs of rigging lines. Escuro stood still among the bustling traffic of the docks. Some being dock workers carrying foods and walking purposefully along the quay, while others seem to be merchants or townsfolk. He looked at the imposing stone buildings flanking the canal, constructed from grey masonry blocks. On the left si

    “You turned him into one of us,” Escuridade said, her voice devoid of anger. It was worse than anger– it was a quiet, devastating clarity. “A half-breed. A creature that can never truly go home again.” She stood up slowly, her movements mechanical. She walked to the window of the shrine, looking out at the dark forest. “I thought if he knew how we felt. Being hunter… being hated for simple existing…” Escuro started. “It is a weak justification. I know. And if I could have done it to a less decent man I would have. But the other Santo knights would rather die than submit. Not Luz, he was willing to sacrifice everything to save lives. I thought maybe if he came to understand that we are worth saving too… that he would want to save us.”Escuridade did not turn around. Her silhouette remained frame against the window, the dark forest pressing against the glass like a living thing. “You gave him empat

    Escuridade paused, her purple eyes narrowing as she visualized the plan. “But that is exactly why Luz is the perfect weapon. He walks right through their front door because they think they are safe behind it. And if Amelia goes with him…” she trailed off, a flicker of concern crossing her face. “She will be his anchor,” she finished, her voice low and certain. “When the darkness of that place starts to bleed into his mind, when the fountain’s corruption tries tot tear him apart from the inside– she will be the one to pull him back.” She stood from the bed, her movements stiff but purposeful. The shadows in the room seemed to follow her, clinging to the hem of her robes like loyal hounds.“It is a beautiful plan,” Escuridade said, her back to Escuro. “And a terrifying one.” She turned around, her silhouette framed by the faint, spectral lights that still danced near the ceiling. The purple glow in h

    “Even when you were pretending not to care. You showed me your big heart,” Escuro said to Escuridade, her voice softening. “You felt so much empathy for others. You would get angry for them and feel sad for those suffering. And whenever I though this war was getting to much… you would show me why it was still worth fighting.” She went still; her hands stilled against his chest. The words seemed to settle deep within her; more potent than any incantation she had ever woven. She looked away for a moment, her gaze falling to the tangled sheets, her jaw tightening as if she were physically resisting the weight of what he was saying. Then, slowly, she turned her eyes back to him. The purple glow was soft now, steady and warm.“I thought I was hiding it well,” Escuridade said, a trace of her old wryness returning to her voice, though it was fragile. “I thought if I did not let anyone see it, no one could use it against me.” She

    The contact of Escuro’s arousal against Escuridade’s core sent a fresh wave of heat racing through her veins, far more intense that the first time. She could feel the thrum of his pulse against her, a steady, driving rhythm that seemed to synchronize with the beating of her own heart. Her legs wound around his waist, pulling him flush against her, her heels digging into he small of his back. The darkness in the room flared again, responding to the renewed intensity, shadows stretching long and deep across the walls like reaching fingers. “Escuro,” she breathed, her voice a ragged thread of sound. Her eyes were wide, the purple glow within them bright and hungry. “Now. I want you now.”Escuridade gripped Escuro’s forearms, her nails pressing into his skin as she arched her hips upward, meeting him hallway, desperate to close the final distance between them. “Gods, you are irresistible,” he said, before thrusting deep inside

    “What in the bloody hell are you doing here?” Luz’s voice emerged rougher than intended, betraying both anger and something deeper he couldn’t quite name. His grip tightened on the hilt until his knuckles turned white against the black veins crawling up his fingers. “Luz?” Amelia asked softly, he

    The Corrompido army settled into a makeshift encampment along a mountainside, their tents scattering amongst the gravestones of an old graveyard. Luz dismounted near a cluster of officers’ tents, his shadow-dark horse whickering softly as it was led away by a Corrompido soldier. He moved with pra

    Lugar onde Cultivamos is a small rustic village nestled in a lush, forested valley. A winding dirt path ran through the village, leading into the woods. The path was well trodden, with patches of grass growing along its edges, giving it a natural, lived-in feel. On either side of the path were qu

    The moment Amelia turned her back; something shifted in Luz’s posture. His gauntleted fingers tightened around the reins, the black leather groaning in protest. The crimson glow in his eyes intensified for a fraction of a second– a visible tremor running through his as if an unseen current had ju
