Kratos Without Ashes Novels & Stories

The world didn’t end quietly, it ended with Ash’s roar, a raw, animal sound from a man watching his future disappear in front of him. He forgot the spear in his shoulder, the fire in his ribs, everything except Liora falling, the broken wood in her back a cruel mark of Gregor’s madness. Gregor stood over her, his face twisted with triumph. “Darkness always wins! It claims what it’s owed!” A red haze blurred Ash’s sight, he charged, not with a knife, but with his broken body, tackling Gregor down. His hands grabbed the elder’s throat, driven by one pure instinct: to erase the source of pain.

His massive jaws tore through bodies, spraying blood like a storm and plunging the battlefield into chaos. Hearing the screams echoing around him, Kass spat out another mouthful of blood. Pain and sorrow filled his face, mixed with deep compassion. Though still lying flat, his body slowly began to rise from the crater. Suddenly, a column of light emerged from within him, lifting him higher and higher into the air. Viktor sensed a deadly threat and immediately stopped his slaughter of the army. He turned toward Kass in the sky, letting out a threatening roar. Within the pillar of light, Kass slowly stood upright as the blood on his face evaporated under the holy glow.

He pursed his lips, and cursed under his breath, before closing the warrior's eyes. "Take him away. Ensure he gets a proper burial." Asher ordered, and the guards bowed, picking up the corpse, and carrying him away. "The blade." Asher demanded, and Joshua handed it to him. The slim and sharp surface was covered in drying blood, and the trace of wolfsbane was evident, as the blood took on a greenish, rotting tint. Nonetheless, the hilt is what truly caught the Alpha's attention. It was made of a clear crystal, with only a thin aluminum wire wrapping around it, creating an intricate design. The tip of the hilt itself held a red seal that resembled a bat's wing crossing a full moon.

We must plan well so that Samhain does not still leave us the same,“ the other wheezed in a hushed tone" "Those lycans will have us to answer to, soon...really soon” And with a cracking sound, they both disappeared into thin air.

CASSANDRA The horrible sight before my eyes was the worst nightmare I’d ever seen, yet no matter how hard I pinched myself, it wasn’t going away. As the fire covered Asher’s body, his skin began to peel down. Soon, the black burnt skin became ashes, and then the ashes disappeared entirely and blew down the corridor. “No!” I screamed out of anger and sorrow. “No, no, no!” My lungs ached as I cried out, but I couldn’t stop. Tears spilled down my face like a river, and my vision started to break out with spots as I shook.

She finds herself in a moral bind concerning forgiveness, retaliation, and the brittleness of trust. Zara and Kael must destroy the weapon in a final, adrenaline-pumping battle before it ends up in the wrong hands.

Kane said. “Absolutely not,” Asher added. I burst out laughing. “Oh no, no, no. Suddenly I love this plan.” Kane glared. “You just said we’re too crazy in the same space.” “Yes, but now that you both hate it, I feel healed.” Asher pointed at Dante. “This is sabotage.” Dante’s expression didn’t change. “It’s strategy.” “It’s evil strategy.” “It will work,” Ryker said, and his eyes met mine briefly. “Kane is direct power. Asher is chaos and infiltration. Together, they cover two sides of your world.”

Their team got famous in the platform of online esports. Kratos could feel he had a soft corner for that girl so he used to protect her all the time, in the game. Kratos was the name of Nicolas Walker's gaming account. He was the one and only son of famous industrialist Christopher Walker who was literally the most powerful tycoon of Los Angeles. Nicolas loved to talk to Minerva and they used to play whole night. Minerva was little shy at first but soon she started feeling comfortable with Kratos and her teammates and she knew it very well Kratos was the one who used to rescue her all the time.

Dark, freezing mist poured outward—heavy, ancient, and oppressive. Beyond the veil, the ruins of Solaryn stretched endlessly under a crimson sky: broken towers, collapsed palaces, burning rivers of dark liquid, and black ash falling like snow. The Kingdom of Ashes was waiting, watching, and hungry. Killian extended his hand toward Seraphina. She looked at his palm, then up into his golden eyes. For a long, heavy moment, she hesitated. Then, she took it. Not as mates, and not as lovers—not yet. But as partners. As parents. As two deeply broken people trying to find their way back to one another.

My knees were shaking so violently that I could barely support my own weight. I was covered in a thick layer of grey dust. "Ashren," I breathed, stumbling forward blindly through the settling debris. A massive silhouette rose from the edge of the crater. Ashren brushed the dirt from his broad shoulders. His tactical jacket was shredded. His knuckles were raw and bleeding. But he was breathing.
