The One Jae Could Not DefeatJae remembered dying.Not once.Not twice.Hundreds of times.His eyes remained fixed on the eastern horizon.The room around him had disappeared.Hazel's voice became distant.The King's orders became meaningless.Even the pain in his wounded body vanished.There was only one thing left.That creature.The thing standing beyond the Gate.Jae's fingers tightened around his sword.The blade screamed again.SKREEEEEE—Everyone in the command center covered their ears.Hazel stared at him."Jae..."He didn't respond.His eyes were no longer looking at the present.They were looking at the past.At a place nobody else had seen.A place he had tried desperately to forget.Then Jae whispered:"I didn't just fight it."The King stepped forward."What happened?"Jae's voice became quieter."It killed me."Silence.Hazel stared at him."What?"Jae slowly looked down at his hands."I remember the first time."His breathing changed."I remember the second."He closed

The Vessel InsideTHUMP.Hazel's hand tightened against her chest.Another heartbeat.THUMP.The command center remained completely dark.No emergency lights.No monitors.No communication systems.Nothing.Jae stood motionless.His sword glowed faintly in his hand."Everyone stay where you are."The King's voice came through the darkness.Miyan immediately raised her weapon.Elias backed away from the console.Claire's empty position beside them suddenly felt painfully obvious.Hazel slowly turned her head."I can feel it."Jae looked at her."Where?"She closed her eyes."Close."The heartbeat came again.THUMP.Hazel opened her eyes."Very close."Then—a voice came from behind them."You've become stronger."Everyone spun around.A figure stood at the far end of the command center.A woman.Completely motionless.Her silhouette was barely visible in the darkness.Jae immediately stepped in front of Hazel."Identify yourself."The woman smiled."You already know."Jae's sword brigh

The PatternThe eastern battlefield had gone quiet.Not peaceful.Quiet.There was a difference.Smoke drifted through the ruined streets, carrying the smell of scorched stone and metal. Broken vehicles lay abandoned along the road. Pieces of the buildings had collapsed into the streets, leaving jagged walls reaching toward the darkening sky.Jae stood in the middle of it all.Elyndra remained in his hand.The sword was still glowing.Hazel stood several steps away, staring at the place where the Vessels had disappeared."They're gone."Jae didn't lower his sword."They didn't run."Hazel looked at him."Then what did they do?"Jae slowly turned toward the eastern Gate."They left when they got what they came for."Hazel's expression tightened."What did they get?""I don't know yet."A burst of static came through the communicator.Then Elias's voice."Jae?"Jae touched the device."I'm here.""Are you both alive?""Yes."A pause."Good."Elias exhaled."Because I have a problem."Ja

The Breaking PointThe crack in the Seventh Seal remained suspended across the distant sky.It wasn't large.Not yet.But everyone could see it.A thin line of darkness running through the light beyond the Six Gates.And something was looking through it.Jae stood beneath Hazel.His sword was raised.His eyes never left her."Hazel."She didn't answer.Her body remained suspended several feet above the ground.Light flowed around her like a storm.The markings from the Six Gates covered her arms, spreading slowly toward her shoulders.Jae took another step forward."Hazel, look at me."Her eyes moved.For one brief second—they were hers."Jae...""I'm here."Her lips trembled."I can't...""You can.""I can't control it.""Then don't control it."Hazel stared at him."What?"Jae lowered Elyndra."Fight it."The energy around her violently surged.Jae was thrown backward.He crashed against a ruined wall."JAE!"Hazel screamed.The moment she heard herself scream his name, the energy

Seraphina's ChoiceThe sky screamed.Not metaphorically.The sound came from the Six Gates themselves.Their enormous structures trembled as energy poured through them, bending the clouds into spiraling rings of darkness and light.Jae stood beside Hazel.Elyndra burned in his hand.Hazel's entire body was surrounded by a faint golden aura.Across the battlefield—the Six Vessels prepared themselves.Kaelen raised his weapon.Nyra lowered into a fighting stance.Darius tightened his grip around his massive weapon.Veyra's spear began glowing.Orien lifted his staff.Soren disappeared into the shadows.Vaelith watched from above."Begin."The six Vessels moved.~Darius attacked first.His enormous weapon slammed into the ground.BOOM!The street erupted.Jae pulled Hazel backward.A wave of shattered stone passed beneath them.Veyra appeared through the debris.Her spear flashed.Hazel raised her hand.The spear stopped inches from her palm.Veyra smiled."Interesting."Hazel pushed.
