The settlement looked strangely still form a distance its weathered round huts scattered across the dusty ground, with only a handful of villagers visible between them. As they drew closer, Brain slowed his horse, his deep brown eyes moving carefully over the unfamiliar faces. The village occupies a gentle sloping green valley surrounded by enormous, rugged moun

Where Ashes and Oaths Collide Chapter 195: Past– An emissary
Estrela thought back to the past. Recalling Orgullo’s rage toward the old Gods and their followers”“You have a choice,” Estrela said to the village, her voice devoid of emotion, felt and terrifyingly calm. “One of you will speak. One of you will tell me exactly where Escuro went.” She reached for her blade, the steel singing as it cleared the scabbard by only a few inches. The sound was small in the vastness of the village, yet it carried like thunder. “And the rest of you will watch what happens when a village chooses to protect a fugitive.” The black-haired men’s jaw worked silently, his face draining of colour. The woman who had placed her hand on the man’s shoulder pulled back as if she has been burned. Her fingers trembled and she retreated toward a nearby hut, her eyes wide with a terror that was no longer directed at the stranger, but at the woman standing before them. “We have noth
Where Ashes and Oaths Collide Chapter 194: Hope
“You kept watch last night,” Amelia complained lightly. “Least I can do it keep you company for a while.” Luz stopped. He did not turn around immediately, but his shoulders dropped just a fraction– the only sign that her words had landed. “Keeping watch is not a suggestion, Amelia. It is what I do,” he said, his voice flat. He did not move away. He stood there at the edge of the treeline, the wind tugging at his ash silver hair, looking every bit, the commander standing guard over a perimeter. He waited. three seconds. Five. “Fine,” he said, finally running to face her. The crimson in his eyes was steady now, the amber retreating into a small, stubborn spark at the centre. “But stay within earshot. It I call, you come. Do not argue. And you will not spend the entire night out here.”It was an order, phrased as a command, but the way Luz said it– without the usual bite– made it clear he was not actua
Where Ashes and Oaths Collide Chapter 193: Past– Food and Shelter
“You speak of danger as if it were something you have already faced,” Estrela said to the man with black hair and a thick black beard, her voice devoid of mockery. “And perhaps you have. But hiding someone who is running from something far worse is not protection. It is a death sentence.” Brain stepped forward his hand resting lightly on the hilt of his blade. “You threaten us?” the man shouts his dark eyes narrowed. “He left before the sun rose. Now leave us in peace.” The man’s outburst shattered the tense silence of the village, his voice echoing off the low walls of the huts. The villagers flinched, some stepping back toward their doorways, others lowering their heads. Estrela’s expression remained unchanged, but her eyes sharpened. The information was a crack in his wall– a confirmation he had just handed them on a silver platter. “He left before sunrise,” she repeated calmly, let

Brain and Estrela approached the village on horseback, the steady rhythm of hooves breaking the otherwise quiet afternoon. The settlement looked strangely still form a distance its weathered round huts scattered across the dusty ground, with only a handful of villagers visible between them. As they drew closer, Brain slowed his horse, his deep brown eyes moving carefully over the unfamiliar faces. The village occupies a gentle sloping green valley surrounded by enormous, rugged mountains. Beyond the village, a broad blue lake stretches toward the right side, reflecting the bright sky which is filled with large, soft white and grey clouds. the small, rounded stone cottages are constructed from irregular pale grey- and cream-coloured stones, with steeply pitched, conical thatched roofs made from layers of dark straw and reeds. Several cottages have visible chimneys, with thin trails of white smoke rising into the cool mountain air. Narrow dirt paths wind bet
Where Ashes and Oaths Collide Chapter 191: Absolutely Heavenly
“It is absolutely heavenly,” Amelia said sweetly as Luz shifted his grip, his fingers working along the like of her spine. A faint, almost imperceptible twitch at the corner of his mouth– not quite a smile, but the ghost of one. It vanished as quickly as if appeared. “Do not get used to it,” he said, thought his thumbs continued their steady work, pressing into the tension of her shoulders with renewed focus. “I am not your servant.” The wind picked up, carrying the scent of pine and damp earth through the village. Luz’s gaze drifted toward the hut where Estrela sat, then back to Amelia. The darkness below his skin was quiet now, subdued by the simple, rhythmic motion of his hands. It was a strange sort of peace– one he had not felt in years.“You are remarkable calm for someone riding with a traitor,” Luz remarked, his voice dropping to a near whisper. He did not look at Amelia as he said it, his crimson eyes
Where Ashes and Oaths Collide Chapter 190: Past– Going for a Ride
As Estrela looked down at the dusty floor of the hut, the past memories resurfaced again:Estrela stood still in front of the cathedral entrance; her boots planted firmly on the polished floor. The silence here was different from the silence of the ruins on the island; it was not empty. It was heavy, thick with the weight of a thousand prayers and the lingering scent of beeswax and old incense. “It does not just make you feel small,” he said softly, her voice varying easily through the cast nave. “It makes you feel watched.” She turned her head slightly, her golden eyes catching the light from one of the candelabras. Her gaze swept across the rows of pews, then back toward the altar where the candlelight danced against the ancient stone. “A city that builds something like this… it is a city that fears forgetting,” she continued, her tone thoughtful rather than critical. “They build in stone so that even when the people are
Where Ashes and Oaths Collide Chapter 2: Return to Lugar onde Cultivamos
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
Where Ashes and Oaths Collide Chapter 23: Learning the Rhythm of Two
The Corrompido army fell into formation behind them, black banners snapping in the increasingly strong wind. “Tell me if you feel uncomfortable at any point,” Luz called out over the rhythmic clatter of hooves on packed earth. The destrier’s powerful strides ate up ground rapidly, leaving the slo
Where Ashes and Oaths Collide Chapter 9: Stubbornness
“I don’t mind being consumed either,” Amelia said softly. “You don’t know what you are saying,” Luz whispered harshly, his hands trembling slightly as they frame Amelia’s face. “Being consumed means becoming a monster. Losing everything that makes you human.” The darkness on his chest pulsed viol

The grand city of Dourado, built in white stone and adorned with gold was under catastrophic siege. Flames raged along the rooftops and along the edges of the great Igrexa that stood in the centre of Dourado– its massive domes and towering speres gleamed faintly beneath layers of ask and smoke. Fla
