Your father saw me for who I am– not the commander of the Corrompido– but just… Luz.” The crimson in his left eyes flickered wildly as tears welled up unbidden– tears that had been suppressed for years by duty and shame. The monster inside him seemed to recoil from this raw display of emotion, causing the corruption on his chest to pulse erratic

Where Ashes and Oaths Collide Chapter 125: Refuxio de Oka
“A specimen,” Mar said, the word tasting foul in his mouth. “They are keeping her like a caged bird to see what song she sings.” He turned away, pacing the narrow deck of the Sea Wraith. His mind was racing through every port he had ever docked in, every rumour he had heard in smoky taverns. “If she is useful to them, they will not burn her,” Mar muttered, more to himself than Escuro. “They will keep her somewhere secure. Somewhere far from the docks.” “I am gathering an army,” Escuro said suddenly. “To fight against the Santo Order. To free those they deem impure. Hopefully on day we will find her.” Mar stopped pacing. Hee turned slowly, his blueish grey eyes fixed on Escuro with an expression that was hard to read– half disbelief half something darker. “An army,” Mar repeated, the word landing heavily between them. “You are a boy in black robes talking about armies,

Ever swing of Escuro’s longsword was deliberate and controlled, allowing him to break through their formation. One by one the guards fell. One fled, running into the city depths. When the last guard who stood his ground fell, the long sword impaling his chest, he fell onto the floor and tried to crawl away, his armoured limbs scraping across the wood floors of the docks. When he when limb, his head fell forward and his helmet rolled of his head across the docks, bouncing twice before spinning to a stop. A group of dock workers came forward at first they silently looked over the dead bodies and then Escuro. despite the dark aura emanating from his form, the workers picked up tools along the docks and lunched forward. Escuro dropped the sword and dogged their attacks. Without killing them he knocked the dock workers out and then went walked over to the pile of bodies. He gently turned Salvaxe over to see his face. From the look in Salvaxe’s eyes, Escur
Where Ashes and Oaths Collide Chapter 123: Rescue
As the Sea Wraith cleared the mouth of the Distrito de Canle harbour, the wind caught its canvas in full, driving the ship confidently into the open sea. The city shrank behind her, its stone buildings slowly dissolving into the hazy distance as the coastline curved away. Waves struck the bow with steady rhythms, sending sprays of cool seawater across the deck while the ship rose and fell with graceful determination. Every timber seemed to come alive beneath the force of the wind, from the groaning hull to the swaying masts and singing rigging overhead. Mar stood at the stern with on hand resting upon the tiller, his blueish grey eyes fixed on the endless horizon where sea and sky merged beneath drifting grey clouds. The Sea Wraith cut through the black water with barely a sound, her hull hugging the shadows of the jagged coastline as it approached Cidade dos Escravos. Mar sat at the helm; his greyish blue eyes fixed on the distant glow of Cidade dos Escravos&rs

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
Where Ashes and Oaths Collide Chapter 120: Dark Empathy
“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

“That is not you fate,” Luz declared firmly, his voice carrying the authority of someone used to giving orders that were obeyed without question. “You are not some chattel to be bartered away to the highest bidder.” He closed the distance between them again in two long strides, his armoured form

“Found a way?” his voice rose sharply, echoing in the black tent. “There was no way! You think I wanted to abandon you? To watch you grown up without me while I became this… this monster?” he gestured wildly at his corrupted form, at the dark marks creeping up his neck and the crimson sigils puls

“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
Where Ashes and Oaths Collide Chapter 4: Camp Among the Forgotten
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
