GILDEON

He couldn’t tell if the cloaked witch was surprised to hear he knew about the coming war. No immediate response, no visible reaction. Even the teenagers remained silent and still.

Gildeon put his hands behind him. He was spent—couldn't muster another lethal flame tonight. He could probably still conjure a small fire, just enough to create a distraction.

As he prepared to shift a finger, the boy spoke up. “If that time comes, we need to know what you will do, salamander.”

“Is this why we’re talking instead of fighting?” Gildeon asked, buying time, aiming to catch the witch off guard. He needed a way to strike without harming the teenagers. They were victims too, and he wasn’t about to use them as collateral damage. Involving innocent lower mortals would only complicate things for him.

“Will you interfere?” the girl asked, her voice heavy with the gravity of the situation. Gildeon realized this wasn't a random discussion.

This was a warning.

  • MAD END'S DECEPTION   300 - A Grim Prophecy

    ARAHShe caught Feviel casting discreet glances toward Gildeon before finally speaking.“I can’t say certain things,” he said, “in the presence of the salamanders.”“You bastard,” Yadira snapped. “You swore you would tell us once Arah was safe.” She gritted her teeth. “I knew you sylphs couldn’t be trusted.”Arah blinked, mildly stung by the remark. But she let it pass. Yadira had every reason to be cautious of their kind. Still, it hurt a little to hear it said out loud.“Yadira,” Gildeon called his lieutenant to heel. Then he turned to Arah, his eyes softening slightly as they met hers—a silent question in his gaze, asking what she wanted to do.“I want to talk to Feviel alone,” she said.He narrowed his eyes, and for a second she thought he would insist on staying. But something else seemed to have bothered him.“Feviel?” he murmured, turning his attention to the other sylph. “So you do know him.”

  • MAD END'S DECEPTION    299 - Obedient To A Fault

    ARAHShe had no idea what had just happened.One moment, she’d been chained to a chair in that disorienting, color-smeared room, waiting for the hunter to return. The next thing she knew, she was standing in the middle of her bedroom.The swirling colors were gone. There was no more cosmic pressure. No suffocating energy.Her wary eyes swept the room. Everything looked real, not a fabricated illusion. She reached out, touched the edge of her bed, then her vanity.Solid. Tangible. This really was her room.The door flew open behind her.She spun, ready to defend herself—only to find Feviel rushing in. There was worry written across his face. Genuine worry. It startled her more than the sudden change in scenery. She had never seen that look on him in the fragments of memory she’d recovered from her past.But then she thought, maybe this was what Earthland did to a sylph.“Are you hurt?” he asked, his gaze

  • MAD END'S DECEPTION   298 - Where She Awaits My Judgment

    GILDEONHis jaw clenched. “Where is she?”The hunter turned slightly, angling his head toward the room behind him. “Inside the Hall of Reckoning,” he said, “where she awaits my judgment.”“You don’t want to do that,” the sylph chimed in, stepping forward.The hunter scoffed, but his gaze narrowed at the sylph. Gildeon couldn’t tell if it was curiosity or amusement. “Do not think I’ve forgotten about you, sylph. You shall be judged too, for deserting Shamibar.”The sylph stayed silent.Gildeon glanced at him, a question lingering. Had he really abandoned his post? There was no time to wonder. Not now.If Arah was inside that room, he had to move fast.He began channeling energy from his core, power humming beneath his hide. Flames curled at the edges of his claws.He shifted forward, ready to lunge. But the hunter’s gaze snapped back to him, and the house groaned beneath them.The pressure hit like

  • MAD END'S DECEPTION   297 - The Natural Balance

    ARAHThe way the hunter said those last words sent a cold ripple down her spine.This wasn’t like the others—those who fought her to claim her power, or simply saw her as an enemy to eliminate.The hunter wanted her judged. Condemned. Erased. And somehow, that felt worse. Like she was already doomed before she’d even been given a chance.She’d heard about how hunters were terrifying, but she’d probably still underestimated them. Her heart was pounding so violently, she knew he could hear every frantic beat. She felt small before him.How was she getting out of this? Where was Feviel?She hoped he was still alive, that he hadn’t been harmed in any way.Her eyes slipped shut, and Gildeon’s face flashed in her mind. The truth she had just learned about him still burned. But a quiet part of her wondered if he would come for her if he knew she’d been taken.A bitter thought twisted in her chest. If he were to save her, maybe it was only to protect what he needed from her.She clenched her

  • MAD END'S DECEPTION   296 - Rats Diving Into Fire

    GILDEONHe didn’t like how the sylph dodged his question. His jaw tensed, ready to press him for an answer, but the blue-haired man beat him to it.“I’ll explain everything once Araheen is safe,” the sylph said, turning his back without waiting for a response.Gildeon felt his lieutenants glance at him, awaiting a command. He didn’t meet their eyes. Without a word, he followed.As they moved through the island’s twisted terrain, time lost all meaning. Minutes blurred. One moment, they were near the town square, and with a blink, they were walking the dirt road that led to their property.“She’s in there,” the sylph said, pointing toward the house ahead.“That’s our home,” Gildeon muttered, narrowing his eyes. He scanned the house with dragon sight, but picked up nothing. No trace of Arah. No trace of the hunter. Just a dead, hollow aura smothering the place.“Every time I try to step past the boundary…” The sylph gestured toward the flickering pulse of energy running along the fence g

  • MAD END'S DECEPTION   295 - A Hint Of Intimacy

    GILDEONHe studied the black wall, which curved from the back like a real tidal wave frozen mid-surge. When he reached out and touched it, a sharp jolt of electricity slammed through him—an instant, violent shock that lit up every nerve in his body.He heard simultaneous groans from Eitan and Yadira on the other side. They must’ve tried the same thing even though they couldn’t see the entire thing.Before he could warn Roselia to stay back, she stepped forward and slipped right through the edge of the wall like it wasn’t even there.“What is it, My Lord?” she asked, pausing when she saw the look on his face. “Did I step through it?”“You don’t feel anything?”She raised her chin, the pre-evening light glinting off her sunglasses. “Just a heavy surge of energy. But it doesn’t hurt.”Gildeon nodded slowly, turning back to inspect the wall. “It’s probably only dangerous to higher mortals.”“Is there an entrance?”
