Chapter 21 Chained Bonds

The world came back in fragments. Stone beneath her knees. The bitter taste of ash in the air. The faint flicker of torchlight against cavern walls. Layla’s head throbbed with the lingering sting of the enchanted collar. She kept her breathing even, forcing her heart to steady. Panic was a luxury she could not afford when the Elders wanted her to be afraid. Her wrists were bound in silver-threaded chains, the metal cool and humming with a faint magical vibration. It wasn’t meant to hurt, but to remind her she was contained.“Do not resist,” a voice intoned from the shadows. An Elder stepped forward, her features half-hidden by the hood of her ceremonial cloak. Her eyes burned with the reflection of the flames before her. “You should never have aligned yourself with the Hollow Crown.”Layla tilted her head, hiding the fact that her pulse was racing. Keep them talking. Learn what you can. “I don’t belong to anyone,” she replied, voice steady despite the dryness in her throat. The Elder’

Chapter 22 Hanging by a thread

The moment the bond wavered, Zalindra felt it like a blade pressing against her ribs. Layla’s pain had seared through their connection, brief but undeniable, and though the link steadied again, its thrum was thinner strained by distance, muted by the collar. She stood in the great hall of the mansion, palms pressed flat against the carved oak table, trying to still the storm inside her. Across from her, the twins paced like caged predators, their energy buzzing so fiercely it rattled the wards that still pulsed faintly along the walls.“They touched her,” Lorian spat, his jaw clenched, hands curling into fists. “I felt it. Fire. Flame. Whatever they’re doing, they’re burning her.”“They’re testing her,” Zalindra corrected. “The Elders never waste power for cruelty alone. They’re digging for answers.” Lucian turned toward Zalindra, eyes dark. “And that means they’re afraid.” Zalindra lifted her gaze, meeting his without flinching. “They should be.” The silence that followed was taut, f

Chapter 23 Queen's Command

The corridors of the holding hall swallowed sound, their walls etched with sigils that pulsed faintly as the Hollow Crown advanced. The stone smelled of cold and smoke, of magic layered over centuries. Every step forward felt like trespass. Every breath warned them that the Elders had prepared this place to crush intruders. This was only felt by the Twins. For Zalindra, this was home. This was hers. Zalindra strode at the front, the Twins at her sides. The Sapphire Flame stirred in her chest, humming low as though the very stones recognized her claim to the territory. She could feel the wards brushing against her aura, testing her strength, and recoiling as if they knew their master had returned.The first wave came swiftly. Three defenders bursting from a side passage, spells sparking from their palms. Lucian deflected one with the flat of his blade while Lorian’s grappled another, hurling him into the wall. Zalindra didn’t flinch. The Flame flickered outward in a ripple of light,

Chapter 24 Turning Tables

The air inside the chamber shifted. The defenders who had knelt before Zalindra rose to their feet, but no longer with blades drawn against her. Instead, they turned outward, forming a protective circle around the Hollow Crown. Their bodies, once tools of the Elders, now stood as Zalindra’s shield. From the balcony above, the Elders watched in silence. Their expressions were carved from stone, but their eyes betrayed alarm. The order of power had cracked, and everyone in the chamber could feel it.The Twins exchanged a glance, wide-eyed but steady. They had never been soldiers, never been trained for the weight of a magical war, yet here they stood at Zalindra’s side, their chests marked with the burning sigil that refused to fade. The moment was strange to them, but not unwelcome. Power hummed in the walls, and for the first time they understood they were part of something greater than themselves.Zalindra lifted her chin, Sapphire Flame still pulsing faintly around her like a living

Chapter 25 The Elders Speak

The stone hall of the Coven stronghold was silent, though every whisper of magic vibrated in the air. From their vantage point atop the balcony, the Elders’ eyes glinted like sharpened obsidian, sharp and calculating. They had waited, watched, and now their patience had broken. “Zalindra,” a voice called, low and deliberate, carrying the authority of centuries. It was Elder Thalene, her pale fingers tracing patterns in the air, the edges of her robes flickering with faint light. “You stand here with outsiders and defy the very laws that bind this city. Do you know what you are doing?”Zalindra’s Sapphire Flame pulsed softly around her shoulders, the blue aura brightening in tandem with her heartbeat. She did not flinch. “I know exactly what I am doing. I am claiming what is mine by right. The Coven belongs to its people, not the fear of a few elders clinging to the past.” Thalene’s lips pressed into a thin line. “And you believe the Twin Flame bond, this… Hollow Crown, can override ce

Chapter 26 Breaking Point

The courtyard was alive with motion, yet strangely ordered. Zalindra’s army had formed a disciplined line, rows of Coven warriors and allied spellcasters standing shoulder to shoulder, a living wall of loyalty and power. Each step she took toward the stronghold made her presence heavier, almost palpable, and the defenders on the walls shifted nervously, unsure if they could withstand both her magic and the sheer weight of her following.A small group of archers paused mid-spell, hands trembling over their enchanted bows. A pair of lesser mages exchanged uneasy glances, whispering incantations that faltered as their eyes met Zalindra’s sapphire flame-lit aura. She didn’t have to speak; the army’s presence amplified her power, turning her command into a tangible force. Even the most stubborn rebels hesitated, some retreating slightly as though the ground itself had turned against them.“Keep close,” Zalindra muttered to the Twins, her voice carrying authority even without her usual comm

Chapter 27 Queen's Choice

The pull of Layla’s agony was no longer a whisper in Zalindra’s mind, it was a scream. It rattled her chest like thunder, burned in her veins like fire. A fresh wave of anguish broke through the bond, so sharp it staggered her mid-stride. The Twins grabbed her arms, steadying her, their wide eyes reflecting her own fear.“She’s running out of time,” Zalindra said, voice low but unshakable. Her fingers curled into fists as the sapphire fire flared faintly along her skin. “We’ll never cut through the defenders fast enough. I must reach her another way.”Lucian frowned, his grip tightening on her sleeve. “What other way?” “Zalindra, what are you saying?” Lorian’s tone was wary, as though he already knew he wouldn’t like the answer. Zalindra drew in a breath, letting the energy of her flame pool beneath her ribs. “Astral projection. If I cannot reach her in flesh, I will go in spirit. I will find her, stand with her, and hold her tether until we can bring her home.”Both Twins stared at h

Chapter 28 Astral Rescue

Zalindra felt the familiar pull first in her chest, a thrumming that matched the heartbeat of the Hollow Crown. It wasn’t a force from her body alone Lucian and Lorian were there, their essence flowing toward her like rivers of raw energy. She drew it in, letting it fill her, steady her, and then pushed outward, feeling the bond tighten around her like an unbreakable chain. The transition was instantaneous. One moment she stood in the shadowed hall of the Coven stronghold; the next, she existed outside of form and matter, a shimmering shape of light and intent. The Hollow Crown guided her, and with it, the path to Layla became clear. There was no searching, no hesitation their bond acted as a compass. Layla’s anguish radiated like a flare, guiding Zalindra through the twisting corridors of the Coven’s secret holding chambers.Her surroundings were surreal. The walls and floors of the Coven building melted into a fluid expanse of gray mist, punctuated by the harsh edges of protective w

Chapter 29 Tethered Flame

Everything rippled like a disturbed pond as Zalindra drew Layla closer, one hand of light closing around her spirit. The Watcher’s essence flickered, trembling between solidity and smoke. Zalindra tightened her grip through the Hollow Crown bond, channeling energy into her.“You’re safe now,” she whispered into Layla’s mind, though she could feel the brittle edges of exhaustion radiating from her friend. “Just hold to me.”But the Elders were not finished.The air of the astral realm quivered as their collective will surged outward. Spells laced in scarlet and silver burned across the space, not aimed at Zalindra directly but at the tether itself the living bridge between her, Lucian, Lorian, and Layla. A shiver of warning pulsed down the bond.“Zalindra!” Lucian’s voice pressed into her mind. “Something’s pulling…”The bond jerked. Lorian grunted, his voice frayed with strain. “They’re trying to cut it. We can feel it like claws on our skin.”Zalindra gritted her teeth, holding the c

Chapter 30 Healing Flame

The world snapped back into place around Zalindra as her astral form slammed into her body fully. Her lungs seized for air, her limbs shaking, the taste of copper on her tongue. The effort it had taken to wrench Layla free, to fight the Elders on ground they believed was theirs alone, had burned through her. She had used all she had and all that the Twins had.The bond hummed around them. She could feel Layla breathing beside her weak but whole and the Twins, Lucian and Lorian, slumped against each other, drained yet steady. Relief threatened to pull her under, but the murmuring of her followers pressed in before she could collapse into stillness.Some wanted to escort her immediately, others argued she should not leave Coven territory at all. Their voices rose and tangled, the clash of loyalty and fear pulling at the fragile calm of the moment.“She must stay,” one cried. “The Elders will sense her absence. If she leaves, they will lock everything down.”“Then they will come for her
