When his men screamed, he saw the men grouped in a circle on top of the rocks with their swords and arrows, as they cut the creatures in half. That region was a place known as Sand Cemetery. It was a place of dark secrets and dangerous creatures, the sand was a dark red colour and sand monsters were said to roam the dunes at night. They led the way by marching through the depths of the depths, making their way to the sand desert cavern in their burial ground, when they entered the caverns.

The air in the Ashlands tasted like dust and death. I coughed, my lungs—even my dhampir lungs—struggling with the thickness of it. The black sand beneath my feet shifted with each step, and the heat radiating up from the ground was intense enough to make sweat bead on my forehead. "What is this place?" I asked. My voice sounded small in the vast emptiness.

Something cracked inside me. "I don't know much about Rhodium, but s-since when does it break and turn to s-sand?" Kaylee stammered, eyes wide and horrified. She set her glass aside, hands trembling. We both bent down, staring at the mess. It wasn’t metal. It was sand. Fine, grainy sand. No! No, no, no! I picked up another bar and dropped it to the floor. It crumbled instantly. Rage exploded in my chest. I grabbed an entire cart and shoved it over. The sound echoed across the warehouse as every last piece broke apart.

"Please, Ryan, don't do this. He's your son! Please, don't take this from me!" But Ryan's mind was filled with anger and betrayal. He opened the urn and began to pour the ashes onto the ground. "No!" Sophia wailed, her cries echoing through the cemetery. She lunged forward, her hands clawing at the ashes as they scattered. The gray powder clung to her hair and skin, mixing with her tears as she wept uncontrollably. She pressed her head to the ground, her body trembling with sorrow. "My baby," she sobbed, her voice barely audible. "I’m so sorry… I’m so sorry…"

"Rei, get the car. We're going out. Take him with us." A couple of half-naked women were clinging to him on all sides when he got up from bed. He carelessly shoved them aside without paying them any attention. While he waited for Asia to wake up, he had tried drugs and women, but if that single person was in close vicinity to him, how could he settle down? Bronze Orchid owned large commercial buildings, placed strategically in multiple cities of various countries. That particular one in Seoul had its tallest point almost threatening to pierce the sky. It was quite tall and magnificent, famously known as the Sanctuary Tower.

There was a loud crash, which scared everyone there. My ashes scattered everywhere. Jasper still felt angry. He laughed disdainfully and stepped on my ashes, grinding them with the sole of his shoe. The staff members' jaws had dropped in shock. They hadn't even had time to stop him. Jasper kicked my ashes and sent them flying. "Tell Amara that she came up with a very innovative trick this time round, but it's lame. I'm not going to waver at all, no matter whether she's dead or alive!

Emily’s Point of View For years I grieved children I thought were buried in ashes . Yesterday the truth did not whisper, it crashed into me like a storm ,my babies are alive. My babies did not perish in the fire ten years ago . The thought alone is enough to glue me to the bed long after the sun has clawed its way into the sky. Golden light streams through the tall windows of my penthouse, catching on the white silk curtains I never bothered to draw shut last night. The room feels too bright, too loud, too alive for a heart that has just relearned how to hope.

“I will help you eat them both though. I took my spoon and grabbed some of the mud cake and took a bite. It was so divine. “Is it good?” She asked as he grabbed a spoonful and let out a groan as soon as it touched her tongue. “Don’t groan like that” I moaned as I quickly adjusted myself. “Sorry” She giggled as she quickly took a bite of the cheesecake.

Sander então chegou perto de uma das portas, entrou e disse-me: - Tens de me esperar, este não é um “adeus”, é um “até breve”. Quando ele disse isso, o sonho transformou-se em pesadelo. A floresta estava escura novamente, a Polícia já tinha algemado Wilker e toda a sua corja. O corpo de Sander estava numa maca. Toquei-o, estava já sem vida, mas disse-lhe: - Até breve. Fim
