All Chapters of The silver eyed omega: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

The western entrance to the ancient tunnels lay hidden behind a collapsed stone arch beneath the Council Hall.Only a handful of royal guards stood watch.Captain Gareth dismissed them with a brief order before turning to Kael."No one else knows about the blood trail."Kael nodded. "Keep it that way."The fewer people who knew, the fewer opportunities the killer had to stay one step ahead.As the guards withdrew, Kael looked at Rowan, Finn, and Lyra."Once we're inside, no unnecessary conversations. Watch the walls, the ground, and each other."The four of them stepped into the tunnel.---The air grew colder with every step.Water dripped steadily from the ceiling, echoing through the narrow passage. Moss clung to the ancient stones, untouched for centuries.Finn crouched near the entrance where dark stains marked the floor."The blood is fresh," he said, brushing his fingers just above it without touching. "No more than a few hours old."Rowan studied the ground beyond the stain."

Lyra and Finn moved through the hidden passage as quickly as they could.The air was colder here.Older.The walls were covered in faded carvings, but neither stopped to study them.The weak voice came again."Help...""We're coming," Lyra called.They turned a corner.A small chamber appeared ahead.And there he was.The High Archivist.He sat against the far wall, one hand pressed against a bleeding wound on his side. His gray robes were torn, and his face was pale with exhaustion.But he was alive.Finn immediately rushed toward him."Careful."The old wolf lifted a trembling hand."Don't..."His eyes widened when he saw Lyra."The Moonborn."Lyra stopped."You know who I am?"The Archivist stared at her silver eyes."I've been waiting for you."Finn exchanged a confused glance with Lyra."Waiting?"Before the Archivist could answer, a loud impact shook the chamber.The hidden door behind them rattled.Someone was trying to break through.Finn helped the Archivist stand."We need t

Kael and Lyra descended the narrow staircase.Neither spoke.The sounds of pursuit gradually faded behind them, replaced by the quiet rhythm of their footsteps.The deeper they went, the colder the air became.Lyra wrapped her arms around herself.Kael noticed."Cold?""A little."Without hesitation, he removed his cloak and placed it around her shoulders.Lyra looked at him."You'll need it.""I'll survive."A faint smile touched her lips."You always say that.""And you always worry."She didn't deny it.For a moment, the danger surrounding them disappeared.Then the staircase ended.They stepped into a vast underground chamber.Lyra stopped breathing.Seven enormous stone pillars stood in a circle.Each carried the symbol of a different ancient wolf kingdom.At the center stood a massive black stone gate.But there was no handle.No lock.No visible entrance.Only seven shallow grooves running across its surface.Kael approached cautiously."The Seventh Gate."Lyra nodded."This is

For several seconds, nobody moved.Lyra remained in Kael's arms, staring at the sealed Seventh Gate.The silver key was still clenched in her hand."She had my eyes."Her words echoed through the chamber.Rowan looked at the High Archivist."You knew this could happen."The old wolf didn't answer.Kael's expression hardened."Tell us the truth."The Archivist finally looked at Lyra."I told you what I knew.""You told us what you were willing to tell us," Kael replied.The Archivist lowered his gaze."I have spent most of my life protecting the Council's secrets.""That is no longer good enough."Kael stepped closer."Who is behind that gate?""I don't know.""Then why were you afraid?"The Archivist's face tightened."Because I've seen that woman's face before."Lyra's breath caught."Where?""In a record."He slowly pulled a folded parchment from inside his robe."The original record of the Moon Kingdom's final night."He handed it to Lyra.She unfolded it.Most of the page was dama

The hidden passage opened beneath the Seventh Gate with a low groan.Kael and Lyra slipped through first.Behind them, Rowan helped the High Archivist and Captain Gareth descend the narrow steps while Finn kept watch over the tunnel above."How long?" Kael asked."Not long," Rowan replied. "The guards will find the entrance."Kael nodded."Then we find what they were protecting."They continued downward.Unlike the ancient tunnels above, this passage showed no signs of decay. The stone walls were smooth, almost polished, and thin silver markings ran along the floor.Lyra recognized them immediately."Moon Kingdom."The Archivist stopped."You shouldn't be able to read those."Lyra looked back."I can't."She touched one of the markings."I just know what they mean."The old wolf's expression tightened.Before he could respond, Finn called from ahead."There's a room."---The passage opened into a circular chamber.At its center stood a stone table covered with layers of dust.But the
