Where Ashes and Oaths Collide Chapter 82: Crazy Old Man
As Escuro and Salvaxe approached the cottage an old man came out. He has long, unkempt grey hair that falls in uneven strands around his face and shoulders, tangled and coarse, while his thick beard– also grey and streaked with darker remnants– spreads across his chest in a wild, natural mass. There are deep lines carved into his face, especially around his eyes and mouth, giving him a weathered, almost carved appearance, as though time itself has etched its passage into his skin. He was dressed in worn, layered clothing made of rough wool frayed at the edges and patched in places. A thick fur coat is draped over his shoulders, heavy and unrefined, its texture coarse and uneven. The sleeves of his garments are tattered, revealing glimpses of his aged hands, which are rough and calloused. The old man stood in the doorway of his cottage, one hand gripping the warped wooden frame the other trembling at his side as he spotted the two figures emerging through the trees.
Where Ashes and Oaths Collide Chapter 81: Seeking Answers
Estrela reached out and brushed a stray piece of golden hair from her forehead, her fingers moving with a grace that felt almost choreographed. “I woke up feeling… different,” she continued, stepped closer to him. “The air feels sharper. The light is brighter. I think the water in the fountain had some kind of effect on me. It is not unpleasant.” Escuro’s eyes darted from the fountain to her. “You drank from it?” he asked surprised. Her expression did not flicker. She did not flinch at his question, nor did she look away. She simple nodded, her golden hair swaying with the movement. “I did,” she said, her tone conversational, as if she were discussing the weather rather than a ritual that had written her very essence. “It was almost impossible not to. The voice–” she paused, a small, thoughtful frown crossing her face. “The inscription. It felt like a call.” She took another step toward hi
Where Ashes and Oaths Collide Chapter 80: The Fountain
Estrela stood up and gestured toward the four arms of the device. “We will probably need both of us to turn it. On three?” Escuro nodded and they both turned the mechanism, the cable moved and the sound of moving parts behind the walls echoed in the chamber. Then there was the sound of rushing water, which grew louder and vibrated through the stone floor beneath their feet. She jumped slightly at the sudden noise, her haze green eyes darting toward the veiling as if expecting water to come crashing down. “It is working!” she whispered, a grin breaking across her face. “The mechanism is actually moving!” the sound was not a trickle; it was a heavy, rhythmic flow, like a pipe being opened wide. It seemed to be coming from somewhere deep within the walls, echoing through the chamber with a hollow resonance. She grabbed the edge of the pedestal, her knuckles white. “That is not just a fountain, Escuro. That is a lot of water
Where Ashes and Oaths Collide Chapter 79: Flow Water
The humidity inside the cave was thick, pressing against their skin like a warm blanket. Estrela led the way, holding a flickering lantern aloft. The light danced off the damp walls, revealing slick surfaces and jagged formations that dripped with slow, rhythmic water. “The river is deeper than I expected,” she said, her voice echoing slightly off the low ceiling. She stepped carefully over a cluster of smooth stones, her boots squelching in the shallow water that pooled around their ankles. “But the markings her– the match the ones in the northern corridor perfectly.” She paused, holding the lantern high to illuminate a series of carvings etched into the cave wall just above the waterline. They were fresher than the ones in the ruins, almost as if they had been maintained. “Escuro, look,” she whispered, beckoning him closer. The carvings showed an image of the river flowing into the cave. The lines were detailed and artistic. There was
Where Ashes and Oaths Collide Chapter 78: Ancient Symbols
Mestre Escuro stood on one of the watchtowers near the burned and collapsed cathedral. He looked out at the city below, the smoke still lingering in the air. As the sun set, the lights coming from some of the houses and the embers from burned down houses became clearer to see. His gaze was distant and unfocused, as he recalls the past.“You must be Escuro,” Estela Astuta said cheerfully. “It is very nice to meet you.” She shook his hand. Escuro smiled shyly at her cheerful tone and shook her hand. “Thank you, I am glad to be here,” he said with equal friendliness. “I look forward to working with you.” She pulled her hand back, her hazel green eyes bright with excitement as she gestured toward the crumbling stone pillars surrounding them. Vines snaked around the weathered masonry, and the air smelled of damp earth and old dust. “I have already made some progress with the eastern corridor,” she said, stepping close
Where Ashes and Oaths Collide Chapter 77: Even
Luz moved around the tub, kneeling in front of Amelia so he could look directly into her green eyes. The steam curled between them, softening his features, but the hardness in his jaw remained. “No one touches you,” he said, each word measured and final. “Not while I am breathing.” He reached out, his large hands framing her face, his thumbs brushing over her cheekbones with a tenderness that contrasted sharply with the steel in his voice. “I know,” she said with a steady look. “So, we are even. I treat you like a person and you do the same for me.” Her hand moved to his chest. “Now will you join me in this tub already? There is plenty of space.”Luz let out a short, huffed breath– something close to a laugh, though his expression remained soft. He looked down at Amelia’s hand resting against his chest, his heart eating steady and strong beneath her palm. “Even,” he repeated, the word tasting
Where Ashes and Oaths Collide Chapter 54: Supervivente
Amelia looks over the prisoner’s posture, he sits curled inward with his knees drawn close to his chest, his shoulders slumped heavily forward. One arm loosely wraps around his legs while is head tilts downward. His expression is weary and haunted, with deep shadows beneath his eyes and a g

The inside of the Cathedral was breathtaking, immense in scale and rich with intricate detail. Towering stone columns rise on either side of a main aisle; their surfaces carved with delicate patterns and sculptural details. These columns branch upward into pointed arches that interlock high above

The wooden stairs creaked under Lady Escuridade’s boots as she ascended to the watchtower’s platform. The morning sun cast long shadows across the stone walls, and she could hear the distant sounds of their army forming ranks below. Amelia stood near the railing; spyglass pressed to h

Cassandra opened the first door on the right, revealing a bedroom, illuminated by the soft, flickering flow of a fireplace built into the sandstone wall. The fire burns steadily, casting orange light across the room and creating dancing shadows on the uneven stone surface. Above the fireplace han
