Chapter 100 Three Intentions, One Destination

Victor knew how to leave a room without making it look like he was leaving. That was something Caelith noticed. Not because she was watching him particularly closely, but because everyone in the room seemed to adjust whenever he moved. Even Jessica, who appeared to care very little about what anyone else thought, followed him briefly with her eyes.“We'll give you some time to think,” Victor said.Caelith almost laughed. Was that what this was? Time to think?She had been kidnapped, fitted with a bracelet that suppressed her powers, and brought to a strange compound in the middle of nowhere. Somehow, they were still acting like this was a normal negotiation.“Very considerate,” she said.Victor ignored the sarcasm.“Kellan.”The younger man looked at him. Kellan hesitated for the smallest moment and followed. The two men left the room. Caelith watched the door close behind them.Interesting.---The corridor outside was qui

Chapter 101 The Path Left Behind

Caelith had expected the blood search to feel familiar.It didn't. That was the first thing she noticed. The moment Jessica's blood touched her tongue, she expected the same overwhelming sensation from the beach house. The sudden rush of memories. The feeling of seeing something that wasn't hers.Instead, there was only silence. For a second, she wondered if nothing had happened. She pushed all her focus to Morrha. Muttering inwardly “Her body, her body.”Then the world changed. Not around her.Inside. The room disappeared. Not completely.She could still feel herself sitting there. Still feel the presence of the others around her. But something else had opened.A thread. A connection. Something leading backward through time.Morrha.Caelith saw flashes. Not memories exactly. More like pieces. First the memories she had seen before, that made no sense to her.A vast dark place that had no walls and no floor and no sky but existed anyway with complete certainty.A book. Not the journal

Chapter 102 The Place Between

The tree was larger than Caelith had imagined. That was the first thing she noticed as they approached. The picture hadn't prepared her. Neither had the description. The trunk rose from the ground like something that belonged to another world. Ancient. Massive. Its bark was rough and uneven, shaped by centuries of wind and weather. The branches stretched upward, strangely bare, with only a few scattered leaves clinging to them. For a moment, nobody spoke.Even the people who had come with Victor seemed affected by it. Not fear.Something closer to respect.Caelith stepped closer. The feeling returned. Recognition. She looked at the tree. “She’s here.”Nobody questioned her. The entrance was not obvious. That was the first problem.They searched around the base of the tree, checking every possible opening. The trunk was hollow, just as Caelith had described. But there was nothing inside. No coffin. No hidden chamber. No sign of Morrha.Victor stood at the

Chapter 103 The Price of Intention

“What did you do?”Victor lowered the gun slightly. “Removed a variable.”Kellan looked at him.“You said we were here for Morrha.”“We are.”“Then why—”“Because Jessica is not separate from the problem.”Victor's expression remained calm.“She is the bridge.”Kellan said nothing. Because he understood what Victor meant. He just didn't know if he agreed. On the floor Jessica was having her own internal crisis. The pain was there. The bullet had hit but it never reached what it was meant to destroy.She had prepared for this possibility. She had known they couldn't be trusted. She knew what she had gotten into. Her eyes remained closed.She listened. Footsteps. Voices. The position of everyone around her.She counted. Measured. Waited.‘You trust me too much’Morrha's voice entered her mind. Jessica didn't respond immediately.‘Not exactly.’‘At least you knew he would turn on you.’‘I was counti

Chapter 104 What Remains

The chamber had descended into chaos.Gunshots continued to echo through the space between worlds. The sound bounced endlessly against the ancient darkness surrounding them.Victor's men kept their distance now. They had learned. Getting close to Jessica meant death.Two bodies had already turned to ash before they understood that. Now they fired from afar.Jessica barely noticed. Her hands remained pressed against Morrha's body. The words had already been spoken. The connection had already formed.The transfer was already happening. Steadily.At first, she thought it was working.She felt something. Something enormous. Something ancient. Power. Her breathing became uneven.She could feel her body burning up. Something was wrong. She had prepared for pain.She had prepared for the possibility that her body would struggle to contain Morrha's power.She had not prepared for this. She could feel herself slipping. Not physically. Somethi

Chapter 105 The Message

Three Days EarlierIdris was halfway through the meeting when his phone vibrated. He ignored it at first. The discussion continued around him. Numbers. Reports. Decisions that needed to be made. Then it vibrated again.Idris glanced down. The name on the screen caught his attention.Caelith.A small smile appeared on his face. He shook his head slightly. Of course. He didn't answer immediately. Instead, he turned the phone face down and continued listening. He would reply to her later. Lately, she had been filling his inbox with tagged locations and details of her move. Caelith can wait.By the time the meeting ended, Idris had already forgotten about it.He made his way through the building and eventually reached one of the familiar rooms. The same room where Caelith had first come looking for him.Aldrich was already there. And he looked irritated.Idris stopped."That expression usually means something went wrong."Aldrich sighed."My date failed."Idris stared at him."Your date?"

Chapter 106 The Distance Between

It was supposed to be a three-hour drive. Somehow, Idris made it in two.By the time he arrived at the location indicated by Caelith's phone. A small cafe. Normal. People walking by. Cars parked nearby. Nothing about the place suggested that someone had disappeared there. A man approached him as soon as he stepped out of the car."Sir."Idris looked at him."Tell me."The man held out a phone."Her phone."Idris took it."That's all?"The man nodded."I went inside and asked about her. I described her and told them I was her brother." Idris glanced at him. "They didn't say much. They only gave me this."His expression tightened slightly."Did you find anything else?""Her car." The man pointed toward the parking area. "It was still there. It already had two parking tickets on the windshield."Idris looked toward the vehicle. Then back at the phone in his hand. For several seconds, he said nothing. Finally, he sighed.

Chapter 107 The Things We Protect

Idris looked at the time.12:53 a.m.He leaned back on the couch and sighed."Judging from what she said..." He calculated quietly. "Considering the time difference, she should already be back between nine and ten."His eyes moved toward the window. The city was still awake. "But that's a long time. What should I do until then?" He looked around the room. Then his eyes landed on his bag."Oh." A pause. "I forgot I had to do that." He stared at it. "Work."He sighed dramatically."Come on. Who works when they're distressed?" He pointed at himself. "I'm obviously distressed." Silence. Then his expression softened. "Just be safe."The words left his mouth quietly. Then he frowned. Something bothered him. He had focused so much on finding Caelith that he hadn't considered something.Who had taken her? And why? He leaned back. It's always one thing or another."No." He shook his head. He definitely wasn't going back to Julies’. He should have asked her for more details. “I'm not going bac
