To Go Even Further Beyond Novels & Stories

After so many years as comrades, we had become closer than anything else. No one knew what lay ahead. All I could do was keep moving forward. At least I had truly lived. Edward left with reddened eyes. I smiled as I watched him go. This really was the last time we would see each other. And I had no regrets.

“It’s trying to stabilize.” Kael’s expression tightened slightly. “Trying?” That was the part that mattered. Aera’s gaze darkened. “It’s not enough.” The words settled heavily. For a moment, the connection between them held—strained, incomplete, searching for something that wasn’t there. Then— It pushed further. Beyond them. Outward.
