Should I Help Astarion Ascend Novels & Stories

Asta called, a thin thread of panic lacing her tone. The god touching my forehead scoffed. "You think a Prime-Direct and Ascendant can best me?" Asta glared at me, my death written in her feral gaze, as she answered her fellow god. "No, Minni. Of course not." Minni dropped his hand from my head. His bright gold gaze was sincere when he looked at me. "Thank you, sister, for your courage and integrity. We will let you carry on your way." "And Asta?" Saint asked. "What will happen to her?"

If Caspian were present and heard Adrian's name, he would have recalled Adrian's brother, Asher, who had a conflict with Caspian when picking the fire spirit fruit for a mission. Adrian glanced at the disciple in charge, and aloofly replied, "Yes." As Adrian spoke, a dignified aura emitted from him. Then, it instantly turned into an air current surrounding him, quickly dispersing. Although the airflow appeared and disappeared in the blink of an eye, the disciple in charge saw the scene. His expression fell, and he retreated. "Ashton, are you… Are you ascending again?" A look of pride flashed in Adrian's phoenix eyes, but his tone remained calm. "If everything goes well, I'll break through th

She sighs as she rubs my arm. “No, you’re not. No one is destined to be alone Asteria. Not even the rouges are alone. You need to get better. You need to love yourself, regardless of if you are now human. That is why I am here. I could feel the pain in you, and I know you needed a friend. So let me help you, Asteria. You have always helped us. Let me in. Let me help you.” She says as tears leave her eyes. What should I do? Should I let her help me if it does feel like pity?

"Do something!" The static surges. I focus on Lyra's hologram. "What do you *want*?" **"The star demands a successor,"** she says. **"You, or them."** --- **The Ascendant** The survivors turn on me first. Jax swings his drone limb, eyes wild. "You're the reason we're here! The star wants *you*-give it what it wants!" Mira tries to intervene, but a shard of glass embeds itself in her shoulder. Ravel steps between us, shovel raised. "Back off. *Now*."

“Make them feel hunted rather than the hunters. It could work, especially if we can sustain it over time. But it requires discipline and coordination.” My father’s gaze turned to the map again with a thoughtful expression. “It’s a solid plan, but we need to consider the worst-case scenario. If Asterion is indeed a hybrid, his power could tip the balance in ways we can’t anticipate. We’ll need to ensure that our main forces are ready to engage at a moment’s notice, and that we have a fallback position if things go wrong.”

“It feels… wrong. It feels like it wants to… like it wants to destroy everything around me.” Astrid growled in my mind, low and fierce. ‘It’s not just wanting. Someone is guiding it. You’re not alone in this, Alara. But you are the key. You have to fight it, or it will fight for you and it will not distinguish friend from foe.’ Xavier exhaled sharply and pressed a hand to my cheek. “I know.” His gaze softened briefly before hardening again. “And I will help you. But you have to trust me. You cannot carry this alone, not now.”

he said sounding defeated. " Thank you Jax but you can't fight with him, he's your cousin and your Alpha. But just know I appreciate you " I hiccuped out between sobs. I saw Christian coming out of the garage, he lives in an apartment that's on the second level. " What the fuck happened?" he asked while jogging up to us " Go ask our brother and his chosen mate." Tristan replied.

Tyron's body tensed. He knew he had to keep pace with Adrian now, as they were on the brink of confronting the powerful Astrals. It would be incredibly challenging for Adrian to face them alone, so Tyron understood he needed to assist. Helping Adrian was also helping himself. They needed to overcome the suppression of these formidable Astrals, who would certainly try to prevent anyone from surpassing them. The only way to break through was to defeat them. Though Tyron didn’t fully understand Adrian’s plan, he had no choice but to trust him.

Aquant released another groan. The Healer turned to me with sparkles in his eyes. “Then, ensure they don’t mate. And, while you are at it, try to cozy up to the Antarctican Prince. If we are in his favor, he will give us a helping hand when the time is right.” This time I groaned.

I say to Kodiak, who sits beside me as we look out at the calm world below us. “I think Lycaon is right. Asteria needs to fall in love with this human first, then she will see they are not all bad. She needs to give him a chance before she condemns him and his species to death. As for Rosa, once Asteria falls in love and marks this human, well, he will shift won’t he, and war will not happen. Besides, they both are too young to be thinking of mates and you will not interfere.” I turn my head to look at her. Her red eyes looking back at me. “I wouldn’t interfere, I’m not Selene.” I say with a little huff and she chuckles, shaking her huge head.
