she queried rather sharply. All four women nodded quietly, somberly. They sat in silence sipping their tea as they let that tidbit settle in their minds. "What is an Ascendant?" Vivian asked after their moment of silence. "Borrowed Power", Hikaru answered, "Power from a supreme being, a being that no longer exists or some believe to have been myths of old", she answered. "Like?" Kara asked confused. "Dragons, Quetzalcoatl, demons, gods, goddesses, creatures of old, forgotten almost. It's the spiritual power that transcends from a realm of the existing being, into the Ascendant chosen. This power is called Ascendant power", she explained.

Akira, uncomfortable under their intense gazes, grunted and sat up. After a pause, she spoke, “I talked to the Goddess.” Phaedra gasps and mentally tapped herself on the back for trusting her gut. She knew it. Akira wasn’t taken as a sacrifice, she just ascended to the higher realms and for that to happen, her soul must leave her worldly body. Thus, she will be soulless during the ascendance and life will only return to her when her soul returns. If at any time, the body is moved, the soul will get lost and won’t be able to get back to her body.

"This is your destiny. You were made for more than just a simple life in the realms. You can be so much more. Let's become more together. Look around you, wolves, vampires, humans and even witches seek counsel from you! You are a powerful being and I'm so shocked you don't realize what you can do with this power you possess." "The gods blessed me with this gift. They did it because they care about us mortals and don't want us to be without a guide. Being an instrument for the gods doesn't make me a god. I'm just a servant. Now, quit saying things like this and let's go meet Alpha Crest. There's a round table meeting and I have to be there." "Let me have it." Anika said. "Your powers. You can

But you are here with me. Oh, God. Azael is right. My father isn't even here. We get to the first floor, outside, and Azael takes the rope to go down. The brigades arrive and without asking anything, they obey Azael's orders, beginning to go down the way we have climbed.

The headmistress lowered her arms, expression unreadable. “Four elements,” she said. “Fire. Water. Air. Earth.” Then, softer, “And something else.” The courtyard erupted. “She’s cursed!” “That’s forbidden!” “She brought the Void!” Cassian’s voice boomed above them. “If she stays, she must be bound.” Talon turned to the headmistress. “You’ll allow this?” “The stars summoned her to this place,” the woman stated. “She is an Ascendant.” “But not stable,” Talon pushed.

I reminded him quietly, though my pulse quickened at the sight of them. One of the figures stepped forward, lowering their hood just enough to reveal the sharp, ageless features of a woman with silver hair and eyes that gleamed like the stars. Her gaze pierced through me as if she could see into the very depths of my soul. “I am Astrid, High Keeper of the Dusk Court,” she said, her voice as cool and sharp as the night air. “You seek our help, but the world has changed, Alpha. Why should we involve ourselves in your war?”

He did not expect the Book of Life and Death to exhaust so much energy. Chase did not have time to hesitate. He started to silently chant the names of his seven sisters.

The Ascendancy hadn't just followed us; they had brought an army. Nevan stood over my limp body, his two handguns drawn, his face a mask of cold, obsessive fury. He wasn't a man anymore. He was the Shield. And he was standing at the gates of heaven, ready to kill anything that tried to touch his Queen.

Above, something vast and unnatural shuddered. The true core of the Concord revealed itself—a massive construct suspended in the smoky sky, blazing with stolen light, machinery driven by harvested bloodlines and chained sorcery. The source. The festering lie at the heart of everything. The White Wolf paused. Nyxara’s consciousness surged forward, clear and unbroken in the beast’s mind. “That,” she intoned, her voice thick with the promise of storms and old vengeance, “ends now.” She leapt. Magic clawed at her, searing, desperate to unmake her midair.

Even though I could sense and hear anything from steps away, I didn't realize I had company until a presence loomed behind me. When I finally turned, I found myself staring into the instructor’s widened eyes. “You… you did that?” Feline stammered, his voice tight with disbelief. “Impossible.” Murmurs rippled through the class as students pressed closer, craning their necks to see what I had drawn. Artifact Studies was the only class that we had with Ascendant. It was all about understanding magical weapons, enchanted relics, and objects tied to emotion or fire. I’d come to learn that ASCENDANT are Initiates who have shown real skill. They’re now on the path of cultivation and they’ve done we
