"One," Zandrei counted softly, his eyes glinting with a mad, ecstatic light. "Now, let's try again. Who sent you?" He asked, his voice brimming with a childlike excitement, like a madman who had just discovered a wonderfully fun new game and was eager for another turn. The man in the chair could only manage a strangled, guttural sound, a wet sobbing noise that vibrated through his shattered mouth. His head thrashed from side to side, his eyes wide with a horror so pure it was almost beautiful to Zandrei.

When I open them, Luke is still watching me, waiting. "I need to get my bags," I whisper into the phone. "Luke will take care of everything. Just come to me." This man has always been able to turn my rational mind into chaos. He makes me forget who I am, forget what I want, forget every promise I've made to myself. I hand the phone back to Luke without another word and follow him toward the Range Rover. My legs feel like they're made of water, but I keep walking. I'm such an idiot.

I laid in the center, the brothers surrounding me, linking their hands. My power flowed first, pulling us all in. The triplets then stirred inside of me, their divine sparks helping to bridge the gap. One by one, the brothers' minds joined mine. _________ The mindscape was a misty forest, like the wilds where we'd fought rogues before. My belly felt bigger here, glowing softly with three lights—and a fourth, shadowy one, mimicking perfectly. The parasite. It was hiding among them, shifting so I couldn't tell which was real.

Forcing the torrential chaos through the crucible of my scars, compressing it, shaping it with the only template I have: the defiant pulse of existence itself. The pressure inside me peaks.

Can you see which chaotic paths lead to survival?" Thea nodded slowly. "I can try. But chaos by definition is unpredictable. Even my visions might not be accurate."

It was the visual equivalent of a logic error, the existential version of static. It hit the Chrome Figure’s polished certainty. Its smooth surface crazed. A web of cracks splintered across its face-plate, its chest. The clean, surgical concepts in its mind—CORRECT, DELETE, PURIFY—collided with the incoherent, self-questioning chaos of my existence. “PARADOX LEVEL… CRITICAL. CANNOT… RESOLVE.” The words in our minds were stuttering, glitching. The Conductor-baton buzzed erratically in its grip.

- a wave of psychological energy designed to force the pack to relive their deepest failures. For Xander, the world turned into a vision of the Great Culling, the screams of his ancestors filling his mind. For Evangeline, she saw herself back in the Hive, her hands covered in the blood of patients she couldn't save, her "True Sight" showing her a future where her "Anomalous Chord" accidentally shattered the world instead of healing it. The battle erupted across three distinct dimensions: the physical, the magical, and the cognitive.

I mentally rolled my eyes. After that, silence eat up the whole place. I didn't bother to talk anymore. I fixed myself. I also blinked when I remembered the guy I've met earlier. He's really something and makes me feel weird or different. He's making me crazy on the way he do something on me. Uh, wait. Gosh! He's making me weak, really. I don't know why I am like that. But, whatever happens, I need to control this weird feeling of mine. He can be my enemy or what, or worse.
