And here I thought my son was bad enough for still relying on me financially!" "You know what's worse? He's married! It was his wife who handled the funeral alone!" "He looks like a decent young man. He's even a lawyer. Who would've thought he's such a deplorable person?" "Like they always say, you can never judge a book by its cover. Look at his first love. Even now, she's acting all innocent."

I leaned forward and picked a flake of ash from my lapel. “They’ve stopped fearing death,” I murmured. “That’s what makes this dangerous.” Bukky exhaled sharply. “Lorenzo’s more than a man to them now.” I turned slowly. “Then we bury the myth. Starve his ghost.” Milo shifted beside me. “They died for a strategy we don’t even know.” I smiled faintly and looked toward the night beyond the glass. “Not for long. Everyone has a pattern. Even martyrs.” “We'll find out the pattern.” I said.

He always hated draining mortals entirely. “Humans are our equals,” he said. “They are not food.” I laughed. Aloud. Standing on a dirt road surrounded by bodies and stars. “Oh, Lucien,” I whispered. “You righteous, delusional optimist. You sip their blood like stolen wine. I drink them like knowledge.” He would call me monstrous. But monsters survive. Martyrs perish. --- By the fourth mortal — a farmer fixing a fence on the edge of his field — I no longer drained them for knowledge.

The Martyr-me speaks for the first time, her voice thick with blood that perpetually pools in her throat. "You destroyed everything to save nothing. That's not victory—that's the ultimate failure." Golden ichor drips from her wrists where she's carved runes of sacrifice, each drop hissing against the crystal floor. "I chose a different path. I bleed myself dry feeding power to the others, making myself the eternal battery for humanity's survival.

"You might have the numbers, but we have something you'll never understand. Unity. We fight for a purpose greater than ourselves, and that gives us strength." The Hunter snorts. "Save your speeches for someone who cares, witch. You're just a pawn in a game that's already been won." I struggle to free my wrist, but it's no use. The Hunter's grip is too tight. "We'll never give up. We'll keep fighting until our last breath. And even then, our legacy will live on." The Hunter leans down, his face inches from mine. "Your legacy will be nothing but a footnote in the history books, a cautionary tale of what happens to those who dare to challenge us."

Murphy pulled back instantly from her, holding her hand gently and taking it off from her face, her eyes held tenaciously while locking her gaze at her, speaking rigidly in a loud voice, "THERE IS NO ELYSIUM FOR THOSE WHO DIE COWARDLY! NO ELYSIUM FOR US EVEN! IT'S FOR HEROES! WHO DEFY THEIR FATES, AND DON'T SURRENDER! IT'S NOT FOR COWARDS LIKE YOU AND ME!".

Her voice trailed off, but the implication hung heavy in the air. Margaret’s gaze sharpened as she took the book. She ran her fingers over the cover, her lips pressing into a thin line. “This is no ordinary book,” she said quietly, her words laced with certainty. --- Explaining the Truth “What do you mean, not ordinary?” Ryan’s father, Michael, asked, his skepticism evident. Margaret looked up, her gaze piercing. “This book is a gateway, a connection to another realm—a spiritual realm. It doesn’t just tell a story; it pulls you into it. Your children aren’t just unconscious; their souls are trapped, fighting in a place between life and death.”

Does running away will remove the pain that we're feeling in our hearts? I don't know. But it's the only way my mind telling me. I, Cianna Marie Alvarez-Del Mundo, a martyr wife of Rodleigh Mariano Del Mundo and is now tired of being his martyr wife. "I don't want to be a fool anymore! I don't want to be your wife, to be a martyr anymore, Rodleigh Mariano Del Mundo!" I then again shouted before running away from his home.

“What rights does he have to do this “ Marty asked “You can go , I will send Abigail to take care of you and show you your room “ I said and he walked out. “There is more you need to know” were Tee’s concluding words as he locked the door of the meeting room. My mate and I shared a knowing look, we knew a part of the prophecy was coming true. A feeling of fear creeped into me, I couldn't do anything else, the war was inevitable and it was not far anymore. Third person p.o.v

The embers glowed orange. I watched them. I thought about the recording. The way my own voice had filled that room. The way her face had stayed still while mine had cracked. But I still couldn't get the missing document out of my head. The cut-off access. The war had already begun without me. I watched the last ember collapse into ash. A slow smile spread across my face.
