You Destroyed Your Root Chakra Novels & Stories

It's been two weeks and I may say I’m barely living. I removed all of my connection in the Philippines. I need space. I need to forget about everything and heal myself. “You need to eat, bitch,” Cassandra said when she came inside our room. There were only two rooms in the house and the other one was being used by Azaia. She was holding a tray of food with worriedness looming her eyes. Even just the glimpse of it, doesn’t seem to help in stimulating any hunger in me at all.

My lungs shook. “Again.” I did it again. And again. At first, my mind fought me. Thoughts collided, panicked and frantic. But after several breaths, something shifted, tiny, almost imperceptible, like my body remembered it was allowed to be here. Allowed to be still.

The last pure copy of the Blood Code.” My stomach tightened. “I thought you destroyed it.” “I did,” she said quietly. “But it rewrote itself — inside me — and projected a backup into the system before the purge. I can feel it. It wants to live.” I stepped closer. “Then we kill it for good.” Her fingers brushed the glass. “If we destroy it, the balance collapses. The networks relying on its framework — even the hospitals, the satellites, the currencies — all of them will fall.”
