Amber says and Jarret begins to protest. "Shut up and allow me to save you" Amber screams at her dying mother. "Shut up child. I don't have much time left" "It pains me to say this but I am not your mother," Jarret says as Amber looked at her confused. "I don't understand mamma," Amber says. "Shut up and listen to me. You are Princess Anderson Mendenhall. you are the rightful heir to the throne. Your parents are Jonah and Aries Mendenhall" Jarret says as Amber couldn't find the words to say.

It was a good question, so she asked it, hoping something would start to make sense eventually. “Simple,” Damien said. “You would never have gone for it. Nick’s description of you being a tight ass was pretty accurate back then. You needed to see it as some sort of challenge to your pride before you would give in to your darker side. Now that you have, we can go even darker, deeper down that path, which is exactly what you said you wanted, if I remember correctly.” He tilted his head to the side slightly. “You do still want it, right?”

"Your wound—" "I can dive." He did not press further. I pulled on my deep-dive suit and ran through the oxygen system and comms equipment several times before climbing into the solo submersible that had carried me for the past eight years. The hatch sealed shut. "Maren, the comms check is clean. You're clear to descend whenever you're ready." Brody's voice came through the headset. "Take me down." The submersible began to sink, dropping past 600 feet, then 1,300, then 2,000.

--- ### The Descent into the Core The obsidian dais disintegrated. We weren't falling through the air anymore. We were falling through the **Code**. I saw the history of the universe rushing past us—the first stars being "rendered," the first life-forms being "scripted," the moment the Reapers were first "programmed" to harvest the excess. It was a river of light and shadow, and we were the stones skipping across its surface. "Stay together!" I screamed, wrapping my arms around Silas and Sarah.

NOW YOU WILL REPLACE IT. The chasm inhales. --- **The Descent** We fall. Not into darkness-into *memory*. The void peels back, revealing a forest of towering mushrooms, their caps glowing with bioluminescent veins. The air is thick with spores that taste of iron and regret. Eden coughs, his shadowy pool spreading like ink in water. "Where...?" "Not where," I say. "*When*." The mushrooms part. A village emerges, huts built from sinew and bone. Figures move-humanoid, but their skin is bark, their eyes hollow pits filled with fireflies. They hum as they work, butchering a creature that is all teeth and too many eyes.

"Wonderful." I retreated, and soon I took off my underwear too, leaving me completely naked. This girl will now regret conspiring against me. I climbed to bed, hastily covering her petite figure, careful not to crush her now. She smelled fresh and soft. "You will regret coming here, girl." Anahita's pov I am standing in a desert. all by myself and thirsty A devilish laugh was heard from far away. "You will regret..." I didn't hear anything beyond that : "Aidan, Natalia, somebody get me out of here."

The frozen panorama under changed into even extra desolate than before, the infinite expanse of white damaged best via way of means of jagged cliffs and deep crevasses. "This area is cursed," Vanessa muttered, staring out the window. "Every time we suppose we’re finished with it, it pulls us back." "Let’s make this the last time," Damien said coldly. The Descent The signal led us to a massive crevasse, its depths shrouded in darkness. "The readings are coming from miles below the surface," Kyle said, his voice tense. "We’ll have to descend through the ice to reach it." "And if it collapses on us?" Rook asked.

Kael’s hand slipping from his. A child holding all eight flames. A woman made of sorrow. A sky that sang. He staggered back. “It’s not a vision,” he murmured. “It’s a choice.” --- The Descent The companion flame shimmered and descended—not falling, but weaving itself downward, lighting a spiral staircase of nothing, stitched by presence alone. Azriel followed. One step. Then another. Each step burned—not the skin, but the soul. The deeper they went, the more real things became.

Babi pov I went in to change but I wanted to take a shower so I headed towards the washroom. Maybe it was because of tequila I wasn’t feeling a little bit dizzy. I felt like I was walking on a tight-fitted rope. My mind was under full control but my body was on its own. It wasn’t working as it planned. I saw soap lying on the floor and I panicked like hell. It was already really hard to walk straight, and as soon as I saw soap, in an attempt to dodge it I fell on the floor really badly.

They were praised as one of the rarest gems! “What is your name? Where did you come from? Why do you have the Eternal Depths Sapphire?” Exclaimed Israel! X did not not seemed to care for the topic as he mostly disregarded it. “I am X, Son of Kon, last descendant of the Han clan. I do not have much on me, other than that what you see. I did not know that my possessions value was worth more than life. I will say this only once. I have slayed your kin, do not tempt me any further for those left will join him.” X said bitterly.
