 Chapter 104-THE EMPTY WORLD The air in the empty world was still—too still. No wind, no birdsong, no sound at all. The guardians stood at the edge of the golden door, their weapons raised, their eyes scanning the desolate landscape. Stretching out before them was a vast plain of gray dust, broken only by the single golden key on the ground and the three dark words carved beside it: HE’S ALREADY HERE. The merged key floating above them pulsed softly, as if trying to communicate. Lyra stepped forward, her hand outstretched toward the dim key on the ground. “Be careful,” Jade warned, placing a hand on her shoulder. “We don’t know what’s waiting for us.” Lyra nodded, her eyes closed as she focused on the key. “I can feel it,” she said. “It’s not broken. It’s… dormant. Like it’s been put to sleep. And there’s something else—something dark, just below the surface.” Cole’s father limped forward, his shadow magic beginning to glow faintly.

The rift in the Door of Balance grew larger with each passing day. It was no longer a tiny crack—now it was wide enough to fit a person, and its dark energy pulsed with the faint, familiar power of the Primordial Void. Cole and Lila stood guard in front of the door, the merged key floating between them, their power weaving into the door to hold the rift closed.Behind them, a city had grown—Balance’s Gate—a place where people from all worlds could gather, where gods and mortals worked together to maintain the balance. Jade was the city’s leader, Lyra its keeper of knowledge, and Cole’s father its master of training. Aether and the other gods stood watch around the door, their powers merging with Cole and Lila’s.“The rift is growing faster,” Lyra said, walking up to them with a scroll in her hand. “I’ve been studying ancient texts. There’s only one way to seal it permanently. We need to find the Heart of All Things—a power that existed before even the Primordial Void, a power that can

The white door swallowed them whole, and for a moment there was nothing—no light, no dark, no time, no space. Then Cole and Lila found themselves standing on a plain of pure nothingness, stretching out endlessly in all directions. Above them hung the white door, now massive enough to span the horizon, and from beyond it poured a power so alien it made their bones ache.The New Balance child stood beside them, their starlight skin glowing brighter as the alien power washed over them. “This is the Outside,” the child said. “Where nothing exists. Where the One Who Is Not Lives. It has no form, no name, no purpose—except to unmake everything that is.”A low hum filled the nothingness, growing louder until it became a sound like grinding teeth and breaking stars. The air in front of them twisted and warped, and something emerged—if it could be called emerging. It was a shape that defied all logic: angles that bent back on themselves, colors that had no place in any world, edges that cut th

The void that chose nothing crashed toward them, its teeth like broken doorways, its breath like the silence of empty worlds. Cole and Lila stood side by side, their hands clasped, as the shadow of no choice washed over them, threatening to erase every path they had opened, every life that had been set free. “This is what happens when freedom is unguided,” Consequence said, their shifting form standing firm beside them. “Fear leads to inaction, inaction leads to emptiness. The cycle may be broken, but emptiness waits for every choice not made.” The void struck, and the doors of possibility around them began to shatter, turning to dust that dissolved into nothing. Lila felt the pull of it—an easy peace in choosing nothing, in letting existence fade back into formlessness. She could see why so many would give in to it. But then she looked at Cole, at the love in his eyes, at the life they had almost chosen for themselves. She thought of all the

The door to the beyond slammed shut with a sound like the birth of the universe, and the pulsing power that threatened to pull everything into it vanished as quickly as it had appeared. But the calm was deceptive—even as Cole and Lila stood frozen with their hands outstretched, a wave of dark energy washed over Balance’s Gate, causing the floating platforms to shake and the bridges of light to flicker.From the sky above, ships made of black crystal descended—hundreds of them, their hulls etched with symbols of conquest and control. At their head flew a vessel larger than any building in the city, its prow shaped like a snarling wolf’s head that glowed with sickly green light.“Alpha Vance,” Cole whispered, stumbling backward as pain shot through his chest. He had been feeling weak for weeks—his body, restored to mortal form after so long as a guardian, was struggling to hold on. “He’s found us.”Lila caught Cole as he swayed, her eyes scanning the sky with fierce determination. “Go h
