Chapter 89.5: The Story of Ryker Crouse

Hardly a sound to be heard aside from the rustle of trees and the melodious chorus of birdsong in the grounds of the estate. The serene garden, whose buds relished the comfortable heat of summer, seemed at odds with the sullen entity they concealed. His form sat slouching against a pillar of the stone gazebo located near the center of the garden. Conveyed to him by the gentle current of a warm breeze, Ryker Crouse breathed in the sweet scent of the roses that encompassed the little structure. The flowers fragrance reminding him of the alluring decay of perfume, the boy screwed up his nose upon taking in the garden’s pungent bouquet. However, still chose to occupy himself with the slow whittling of a piece of wood. Scraping away at the thick branch he had taken from one of the trees with a pocketknife, Ryker paused to inspect the progress of his crude carving. Looking upon it critically, he observed that Its outline, whilst suggesting something of a bird, bore no resemblance to the bl

Chapter 90: Guardian of the Moon Gate

The swirling mass of a dark cloud arising from one of the arched doorways in the underground catacombs, a bottle of partially consumed liquor was thrown towards it in frustration. Its glass, shattering on the coarse stones behind Chiri, after having narrowly missed her head. The Guardian pressed her lips together gravely as she materialized to perceive this unfriendly reception from the leader of the Moon Gate faction. Glaring at him from the large frame of the dreary opening, Chiri could guess at the reason behind Ryker’s hostility towards her and maybe even his drinking as she viewed him for the first time since her mission. The destructiveness of her powers, whilst sizable, was now known to be inconclusive. Although accomplished in the act of reducing her childhood home to a pile of dust. Chiri had failed in the ultimate goal of her deployment, which was to bring about an end to the shrewd and formidable Xavier Crouse. The feat attempted and nearly achieved, Chiri had found hersel

Chapter 91: Broken

The chairs and wardrobe pushed aside to accommodate its thick gilded frame; a large mirror had been propped against the bedroom wall. Ancient symbols scrawled over its reflective surface, it hummed with the lines of a spell that was being spoken in a long dead tongue. The glass beginning to reverberate from the collective force of the enchantment, it shuddered violently in the confines of its wooden support for some time. A faint ringing eventually heard emerging from the mirror. It was abruptly followed by the harsh pang of cracks forming across its surface. Ceasing in his recitation of the spell, Cazer growled at the sight of his splintered reflection mixed among the sigils on the mirror. His own disdainful eyes glaring back at him, they mocked his failure as he sat on the cold tiles of his chambers. Their orbs bloodshot and surrounded by the dark shadows of several a sleepless night, he loathed their stark portrayal of the desperation and desolation he felt. Their blatant ridicule

Chapter 92: Ruined

The floor like a chessboard of immaculate black and white tiles laid out in front of him, Allen found that the halls of the Crouse’s Vemery estate presented themselves with a forthrightness he had not been expecting. No secretive dark passageways or domineering ancestors looking down from the walls, there was not much apart from his own shadow to cast a dark outline upon the unambiguous tiles. The corridors, light and airy, it seemed that the only mystery they held was how they had managed to evade the oppressive heat of the day outside. However, the events of the tragedy that had taken place at the Crouse’s main country estate over a week ago, lacked this same clarity. Pondering the incident repeatedly in his mind during his journey there already, Allen Pierce had been sent to the opulent property in the city to investigate what exactly had transpired that day. Not engaging in many active missions of late, Allen had been deployed to the capital in order to gather a statement from Xa

Chapter 92.5: A Partnership Ended

A spherical ornament on the desk jumping at the sound of Harry's pistol being slammed down on the surface directly beside it. The little trinket with its overlapping parts and gears continued to shake and roll uneasily on the bureau as Harold Pierce glared at the man seated opposite him. The dark wooden furnishing formed a barrier between the two men as the gun was thrown down out of frustration. The barrel of the weapon still pointed directly at his partner after Harold found himself incapable of pulling the trigger, it stood by in order to witness the argument that was about to unfold. The man’s dispassionate yellow irises analyzing him in the same way that a snake might its prey, there was not a shred of doubt in Harold’s mind that Xavier Crouse deserved at least one bullet placed in him. However, despite the feelings that had provoked him to barge into the Crouse estate unannounced, Harold had found that his fingers resisted the action that his mind could so easily justify. His p

Chapter 93: Presumed Dead

The ruby gleaming from amongst the books and pages on the desk, it winked knowingly up at Cazer. A crack marring the otherwise perfect surface of the memento that was left to him by his wife, his brow scrunched together as he considered its meaning. However, increasingly uncertain whether there even was a message to be deciphered from the accessory’s presence there, it had come to instill in him a constant sense of inadequacy. Desiring to have more of Chiri than just this trinket alone, Cazer realized that it would require more than just his power alone to recover her from the place she had gone. Not seeing his departed wife again since their dream-like encounter, Cazer had found the earring presented sparse answers to his many questions. Her indefinite existence in this plane and the manifestation of her powers upon their brief reunion, confirming nothing other than the supposition that Chiri had now somehow become a part of the Moon Gate as its gatekeeper. Cazer pinched at the br

Chapter 94: Misleading

The path long and sinuous, there were few who were likely to travel along it despite its shade and relative serenity. Coiling along the outskirts of Ineset, the route was too small for carriages and housed only a small enclave of select residents whom Allen had no desire to happen upon as he progressed along it mindfully. Air shaking the leaves, their shadows created waves of movement on the dry dirt of the walkway ahead of him. The motion of the branches, unsettling what tranquility he had managed to find, Allen’s tentative steps were further interrupted by the sound of a twig snapping underfoot behind him. The sudden alarm, causing his feet to halt abruptly in the center of the path and head to jerk toward the noise. Allen sighed in possible relief and definite frustration once the dark figure that had crept up behind him revealed himself. His tall slender shape merging out from behind the trunk of one of the thick trees that provided the path with shade, Cazer Krane barely deigned

Chapter 95: The Breakaway

“Those damn toothy bastards can burn in Hell for all of eternity!” Cazer roared, the doors slamming shut behind him in order to punctuate the vehemence of this outburst. They were then battered again as he landed a ferocious kick onto the barrier of the office. The eruption of his fury causing the solid doors to shake, Cazer barely regarded the man who sat observing the dramatic display from his position on the couch.Allen’s eyes following him warily as he stormed into the room, Cazer found the silent pressure of his judgemental stare of little consequence as he marched over to his desk. Breathing agitated and his hair disorderly, he jerked open a drawer on the bureau. Withdrawing a half-full decanter and wiping the rim of a glass on the desk that had previously been used for water, Cazer poured himself a sizable portion of the spirit. Not offering any to the Hunter, he waited for Cazer to down the drink before asking, “No luck, I take it?” In too foul a temper to accept the smugness

Chapter 96: The Wrong and the Righteous

Hurried steps and panicked voices arising from outside the Dawn Gate, the source of their alarm was indeterminate from what corner of the empty ward Chiri occupied. Disinterested by the distant sounds of their mingled unease faded into a buzz of unrest as she closed her eyes against the persistent pain which plagued her. Clutching the saturated fabric more closely to the gouge at her side, Chiri grimaced as blood oozed out from between her fingers and onto the pestine floor beneath her. The wound, not having cut deep enough to touch any vital arteries or organs. It only posed the immediate threat of blood loss as she remained a solitary entity amongst the empty cots of the infirmary. The injury’s presence, no less vexing in the least, this was to be the reward Chiri enjoyed from another one of Ryker’s misguided assignments. Reclining against the wall slowly, she hissed an embittered curse through gritted teeth, “Sodded slug suckers!” Fortunate enough to find that no one else should b

Chapter 97: Sympathy for My Enemy

The rank smell of decay and mildew immediately enveloping her, Chiri knew that she had rejoined the dark catacombs where the cohorts of the Moon Gate’s malicious hoard gathered. Hissing as her form solidified again in the tunnel, Chiri again grasped at her side. Unsteady, the weight of her body found some stability as her back slumped onto the damp wall beside her. Expecting to be met with some snide remark in regard to her injury instantly upon her arrival, Chiri was to discover instead that her entrance had hardly been noticed amidst the affairs that had preceded her. Voices heard in the large junction between the tunnels, Chiri turned her head lazily in their direction. Leaning wearily against the dark tunnel, her eyes pinched together mildly as she squinted at the figures in the opening. Most of them the usual suspects that collected around Ryker Crouse, there was one amongst them that was only vaguely familiar to her. The woman’s hair matted and clothes dirty and torn from the t
