2026-05-07 14:00:22The sounds of Corrompido guards stirring outside the tent instantly snapped Luz’s mind back to reality– six years of conditioned reflexes kicking in immediately. His body tensed instinctively while his crimson eyes darted toward Amelia still sleeping peacefully in his arms. ‘Shit, shit, shit, shit’ he glanced down at himself– still naked except for the white ribbon around his wrist– and then at her equally undressed form curled against him. The evidence of their night together was obvious eve

Where Ashes and Oaths Collide Chapter 98: Fighting For Us
Escuridade quickly unlocked the cell, the lock clicked open with a sharp, metallic sound that seemed to echo through the entire corridor. She did not hesitate, her fingers working the mechanism with a desperate efficiency born of pure adrenaline. Salvaxe stepped into the cell, his movements cautious, as if the very air inside might shatter. He knelt before Emile, his hand settling on her frail shoulder with a tenderness that made Escuridade turn her head away for a moment. Emile flinched at the touch. Her while body jolted, a reflexive spasm of terror that had been etched into her muscles over ten years of isolation. But as her eyes– now clearer, the amber warmth returning to them– settled on Salvaxe’s face, the tension drained out of her in a single, shuddering exhale.“You,” Emile whispered, her voice stronger now, though still fragile as spun glass. She reached out, her thin fingers trembling as they brushed against Salvaxe’s cheek. Her
Where Ashes and Oaths Collide Chapter 97: Relief
Every heartbeat brought the chaos nearer. A few isolated clashes remained, each one distinct now instead of blending into the storm that had come before. One. A pause. Another. A final, powerful impact echoed through the stone passage, followed by the unmistakable crash of armoured weight collapsing onto the floor. After that come only breathing. Slow. Measured. One set of footsteps remained standing. The victor walked closer at an unhurried pace, boots crunching over scattered debris. Salvaxe waited for death. Then he felt a hand on his shoulder. Slowly he turned, so he is on his back. It took him a while to recognise the man. His hair was darker, his eyes red. There was an intensity about him. “Salvaxe, my old friend. I finally found you again,” he said, taking something out of his pocket.…Escuridade stares at the vial of black powder in his hand, then at the small, jagged cut on his finger. The silence that followed was heavy, pressing against her chest l
Where Ashes and Oaths Collide Chapter 96: Just in Time
He heard the footsteps long before he saw the torchlight. Heavy boots. Four men. The scrape of keys. Metal groaned as the lock turned. The cell door swung inward a rusty shriek. “Here is another one,” a gruff voice muttered. The torchlight spilled across the floor until it warmed the toes of his boots. A guard stepped in from of him, his face little more than a beard wrapped around a sneer. Hands seized his arms. He felt every finger. That was the curse’s greatest cruelty. It denied movement, not sensation. His shoulders jerked painfully as the guards hauled him forward. His legs remained locked exactly as they had been when the spell struck him, forcing his entire rigid body to tilt.For one dreadful instant he thought they would simply let him smash face-first into the floor. Instead, they lifted him, not carefully, like moving a wardrobe. His back struck the iron doorframe on the way out with a clang that rattled through his bones. “What the wall, idiot,” one
Where Ashes and Oaths Collide Chapter 95: Found
The deepest section belongs to the murderers. The corridor itself seemed quieter here. Not because the prisoners lacked voices, but because they had learned silence could be as effective as threats. Some sat perfectly still in the corners of their cages, their expressions unreadable. Others paced with slow, measured steps, counting distance that never changed. A few simply watching, their eyes reflecting the dim blue flames with unsettling intensity. Escuridade walked through the heart of the lower dungeon as though every lock, every gate, and every shadow already belonged to her. At the far end of the corridor stood a final gate fashioned from blackened iron.Unlike every barrier before it, this one bore no signs of rust despite the damp air. Heavy chains wrapped around its frame, secured by a lock whose craftsmanship suggested it had been forged for a singular purpose. Beyond its bars stretched another flight of sandstone steps, disappearing into darkness so completely that
Where Ashes and Oaths Collide Chapter 94: The Search Continued
“Go,” Escuro said softly, releasing her. “We will have plenty of time after everything is done.” Escuridade lingered for a moment, her hand still warm where he had held it. She wanted to argue, to pull him back into the safety of their embrace, but she knew that look in his eyes. It was the look of a man who had already moved on to the next problem, the next task, the next piece of the puzzle. “Do not stay up here too long,” she said, her voice steady despite the tug of reluctance. “The wind is picking up, and you need sleep.” She stepped back from the railing, her tattered robes catching the breeze. She did not look back as she began her descent down the stone stairs, her mind already shifting gears. The lower district. The cellars. The hidden alcoves where familied hid during the purge. She would start there.Escuridade went to the dungeon deep beneath the docks, where sunlight had never reached and time seemed to erode
Where Ashes and Oaths Collide Chapter 93: Long overdue promise
“Have you found Emile?” Escuro asked still looking into the fire. Escuridade shook her head, her raven hair catching the orange light of the embers. “No. our scouts have not reported any sightings of Mar’s daughter. We have combed through the residential districts and the docks, but nothing.” She leaned her back against the stone railing, looking out over the burning skyline of Cidade dos escravos. The victory felt hollow without knowing where the girl was. “If she is still in the city, she might have been caught in the initial purge,” she continued, her voice tightening. “Or worse– the Santo’s Order might have taken her before we even arrived. We need to send more men into the lower quarters once the fires die down.” She turned her purple eyes toward him, studying the tension in his jaw. “Why are you so focuses on her tonight? We just took a city, Escuro. we should be celebrating with the army.”&l
Where Ashes and Oaths Collide Chapter 7: Fate?
“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
