Chapter 71: The Unwritten War

The Blood Moon didn’t just light up the world; it stained it. A deep, rusty red filtered through the cracks in the mountain refuge, turning familiar faces into scary masks and colouring the stone floors like old blood. There was no real dawn, just a shift from dark shadows to bloody half-light.Liora hadn’t slept and the weight of her choice felt like a heavy stone in her stomach. Ash lay nearby, resting uneasily, Elara’s medicine dulling some of his pain, every soft groan from him broke Liora’s resolve a little more. Was she betraying his trust for power? Or was she making the hard decision needed to save them all?Kael found her as the red light grew, he looked as tired as she felt, but when she was drained, he was full of restless energy, his eyes burning.“The light feels wrong,” he said without a greeting, his voice low. “It’s not just a moon, it presses on your mind and makes old wounds ache.”Liora nodded, she felt it too. A faint buzzing anxiety is on the edge of her thoughts

Chapter 72: The Vessel's Price

The silence after the hunter’s threat was heavier than the mountain stone. Liora could hear her own heart pounding in her chest, a wild drum against the cold, steady dread settled deep in her bones. The vessel, the words echoed, stealing the warmth from the air, they didn’t just want her legacy, and they wanted Ash because of her.Kael’s low voice cut through her panic. “They can’t hold that formation forever, the wolves are hungry, and they’ll get restless or the hunters will slip up.”“They just blew a hole in our mountain,” Finn whispered, voice shaking. “They don’t seem like the blundering type.”Liora forced herself to look back through the crack. The lead hunter had joined his men, they stood still, like statues, while the wolves paced and snarled, their red eyes fixed on the entrance. They were waiting, but for what?“They’re testing the barrier’s strength,” Kael said quietly, eyes narrowing. “That bolt was a probe. They’re searching for the weakest spot, they won’t just rush

Chapter 73: Echoes of the Blood

The air outside the mountain was cold and lifeless, like the inside of a tomb and the Blood Moon’s light colored the world in shades of dried blood and bruised purple. It felt wrong. The forest, usually full of night sounds, was completely silent, the only noise was their own faint, uneven breathing.They stood still for a long moment, backs pressed against the cold stone of the mountain. Twenty paces ahead, the tree line rose, a wall of shadows, and the Watcher stood in the small clearing just before it.It looked exactly as Kael had described, a figure wrapped in a dark hooded cloak that seemed to swallow the strange light, it was unnaturally still, not even seeming to breathe. It didn’t look at them or anything and was just… a presence. An emptiness.Liora’s grip tightened on the journal, the silver handprint on the cover felt warm against her palm, like a tiny anchor. She could sense the Watcher not with her eyes, but with the new feeling the journal had given her. It was a cold,

Chapter 74: What the Blood Remembers

The fire crackled, but its warmth didn’t reach the cold spot deep inside Liora. They were safe for now, the fighting outside had stopped and was replaced by an uneasy quiet. The hunters were gone, or dead, or waiting, no one knew.Ash slept near the fire, his breathing easier now under Elara’s care. The survivors huddled in small groups, speaking in low voices. They looked at Liora differently now, with hope, awe, and a bit of fear.She hated it.The journal lay open on her knees, the page was blank again and the bright white light was gone, as if it had never been there. Only the silver handprint on the cover remained, quietly reminding her of what she had done.What she had seen.That face of the trapped soul inside the Watcher haunted her. The enemy wasn’t just a monster, it was once a person, someone caught and twisted by darkness. The thought alone made her sick.“You’re thinking too loud.”Kael’s voice was rough, he sat beside her, not too close. He held a cold, wet cloth to his

Chapter 75: The Valley of Echoes

The silence after the river was heavier than before, they had lost two people to the black water. The survivors looked at Liora with a new, raw fear. She wasn’t just their hope anymore; she was a force of nature, as wild and dangerous as the land itself.They buried the dead as best they could in the hard, cold ground, marking the graves with simple stones and no one said a word because the grief was a heavy weight on all of them.As they moved on, the land changed, the bare trees gave way to a wide, open plain covered in low, grey mist. The Blood Moon hung overhead like a giant, unblinking eye, jagged peaks clawed at the distant sky.“The Valley of Kings is just beyond those ridges,” Kael said quietly. “We’ll reach it by nightfall.”The air grew thin and cold; it was hard to breathe. Liora felt pressure in her ears and a high, faint humming that seemed to come from the land itself.“Can you hear that?” she asked Ash, walking beside her, his face tight with pain.He shook his head. “J

Chapter 76: The Oath’s Rebirth

The silence in the Valley of Kings was no longer peaceful, it was like holding a breath, tense and fragile. The silver dome of their joined oaths still shimmered above, but its light was weak, faded like an old memory. It had been five days since the Forgotten army appeared on the ridges, five days of that steady, soul-shaking thump… thump… thump… of thousands of feet.They did not attack and didn’t move forward; they just stood there, thousands strong, a forest of empty eyes and stolen faces, waiting, and their silence was sharper than any claw.The strain showed on the survivors; the cracks weren’t only on Liora’s face. Anya, another woman, had thin black lines spreading up her arm. She said she felt nothing, but her oath-thread flickered nervously.Liora felt every flicker like a cold shiver, keeping the shield active and draining her constantly. She sat with her back against the Speaking Stone, the blank journal on her knees, trying to pour her will into the threads.“It’s not eno

Chapter 77: The Weight of a Thousand Years

The pain was alive, it wasn’t one feeling but many, the sting of a knife, the bitter taste of a lie, the cold emptiness of trust falling apart. Every betrayal had ever hidden in the dark corners of a heart, given shape and force, and poured into the souls of three people.Liora gasped, vision blurring, she felt Ashiel on her right, a furnace of golden light, burning bright against the creeping dark. He was a wall of love that the pain crashed against but could not break, on her left, Kael was a different kind of strength, a blacksmith’s anvil, hard and steady. He didn’t try to burn the pain away; he held it, shaping it with his fierce, grim will.The seven Betrayers closed in, moved silently, their footsteps leaving dead earth behind. The leader, a brute with an axe, raised his weapon and it wasn’t aimed at their bodies but at the fragile bond they formed.“Hold!” Ashiel growled, voice strained, a small, golden dome flickered around them. The shadow-axe hit it, sounding like a bell cr

Chapter 78: The Broken Vow

Kael’s scream was the worst sound Liora had ever heard, it wasn’t pain, but something falling apart. The dark, coppery thread that tied him to their web didn’t just fray, it broke.The force threw Liora back, the living web of light flickering wildly as one of its main anchors was torn away. Ashiel staggered, the golden light around him dimming like a cloud covering the sun.Kael knelt, head bowed, body shaking, a low, animal growl rumbled in his chest, when he looked up, his eyes were wrong. The fierce intensity was gone, replaced by a flat, black emptiness like the Forgotten. But where they were empty, his eyes burned with cold, sharp hate.The Shadow King lowered his hand, clearly pleased.See? The oldest bonds are the strongest, he was mine before he was ever yours.“Kael,” Liora whispered, voice breaking. “Fight it.”He slowly turned to her, movement stiff and unnatural. A smile spread across his lips, but not his smile. It was the cruel, twisted grin of the corrupted.“Fight wha

Chapter 79: The Oath’s Price

The silence after Kael’s death was a physical weight, it was the silence of a breath held too long, of a world waiting to see if its heart would beat again. The pile of dark ash that was all that remained of him seemed to suck the sound from the air.Liora couldn’t move, she couldn’t breathe. She just stared at the ashes, the warmth of his blood still on her cheek, he was gone. The man of sharp edges and bitter truths had fought his way back from the dark only to be consumed by it to save her. The cost was a hole in the world, a void where his fierce, complicated presence had been.Ashiel was the first to break. A raw, wounded sound tore from his throat; it was more than a cry of grief; it was the sound of a foundation cracking. He fell to one knee, his sword clattering on the stone, his head bowed. He had spent his life protecting, and in the end, he couldn't protect his brother from the monster he had become or the hero he chose to be.The Shadow King recovered faster than any of th

Chapter 80: The Echo in the Ashes

The first real sunrise in a generation was the most beautiful and terrible thing Liora had ever seen. It painted the Valley of Kings in colours they had almost forgotten, soft gold, gentle pink, clear, clean blue that promised a world without the messy, bloody light of the moon. The sun warmed her skin, but it couldn’t touch the cold grief deep in her chest.The survivors moved quietly, gathering their few belongings and tending wounds that were more than skin deep. There was no wild celebration, their victory felt empty, like a cup drained to the bottom. They had won the world back, but the cost lay scattered as dark ash at the centre.Ashiel hadn’t moved, he sat cross-legged before his brother’s remains, head bowed. The rising sun gleamed off his neglected sword, Liora wanted to comfort him, but the silence around him was a wall. Some griefs are too big for words, instead, she found a task. With Elara’s help, she carefully gathered Kael’s ashes into a simple clay urn from their supp
