Projection Chapter 31 Novels & Stories

“If I leave, this projection will follow.” “And I cannot fight what I cannot touch.” “You can,” I said softly. “You ground me.” The shape pulsed brighter. “He cannot protect you from what you are.” I snapped, “I am not yours.” The shape twisted. The faint outline of a mouth curled upward. “You always were.” Kairos roared. “Enough.” He swung again. The projection burst into flurries of light, scattering across the room in streaks that looked like falling stars. They reformed behind him.

Quickly, I closed my eyes, focused on the projection within my mind, and snuffed it out. When I peeked my eyes open again, the glowing apparition of Asher was gone. But by then, it was already too late. Nicole had seen. “I can explain,” I said. Nicole stuck her head up from her hiding spot on the other side of my bed. “Cynthia… was that…?” I nodded. There was no denying it now. Still, I felt nervous saying it aloud and whispered it instead, “I have the projection ability.”

The monitor screen switched to an old photo of Sofia White holding a small vial containing a clear blue liquid the true core of Project Chimera. END OF CHAPTER 97..

Several holographic projectors he had lent to Kara were now active, casting three-dimensional images of ancient scroll pages, their complex and faded script filling the air. Kara sat in the middle of this sea of data, no longer in her wheelchair, but cross-legged on a mat, her back straight. Her pale face was animated with excitement, and her deep eyes shone with the light of a scholar who had rediscovered her passion. "You're back," she said without turning, her attention still fixed on the projection of the spatial diagram before her.

It made her feel sick to her stomach. "June what's wrong?" Benson asked, stepping closer to her. His boots made a squelching sound in the red mud. Before June could answer the ground under the library started shaking violently. It was not an earthquake or anything it was like a countdown. A secret door in the center of the crater slid open. Several silver pillars rose up into the air. They were not guns or anything they were like projectors or something. Suddenly the whole courtyard of Gregory University was filled with a holographic light. The ruined buildings. Were replaced by the same city from the photograph.

The architecture itself reflected adaptive principles. Eventually they arrived at a large circular room. Hundreds of people stood inside. Watching a projection. Everlyn immediately recognized Marcus standing near the center. Some things truly never changed. He still looked intensely focused whenever he discovered something unusual. Liora stood beside him. Jesse leaned against a nearby wall. The old team. Older. Wiser. Still together. Marcus looked up as Everlyn entered. His expression carried excitement. Real excitement. That alone made her curious. “What happened?” Marcus pointed toward the projection.

I inquired, my voice barely a whisper. "The pillars will project visions, memories that haunt you both," Luna explained, her voice gentle yet filled with an underlying urgency. "You must face these truths, confront your regrets, and find the strength to forgive yourselves." I glanced at Malachi, his expression mirroring my own mixture of trepidation and determination. We nodded silently, accepting the challenge laid before us. As we approached the first pillar, the air crackled with energy, and the stone came alive, projecting a vivid scene before us. It was a moment from our shared past, a painful memory that had haunted us both.

Slowly, i turned to face the board. the projector hummed at the back. everyone was gone.

The room was silent except for the slow, rhythmic hum of the projector. The light carved pale shapes on the opposite wall, a looped recording of Bruno’s death. The sound was muted, but the image was clear: the tremor in Bruno’s hand, the brief flicker of defiance in his eyes, and then the stillness that followed the flash.
