Chapter 45: The Trial of Truth
Last Updated:
2025-04-16 17:33:34Two Ivy's stood before them.
One chained, her eyes filled with tears and desperation. The other was calm and collected, free of restraints, wearing a faint, self-assured smirk that never quite reached her eyes. Mira stepped forward, her voice steady despite the chaos swirling in her thoughts. “The world cannot hold both of you. One Ivy belongs. One does not.” Killian stood behind Mira, his jaw clenched, eyes darting between the two identical women. Lyra sat at his feet, hugging his leg, silent but alert. Her young mind sensed something unnatural, something wrong. The room was silent—until the chained Ivy finally broke it. “Please,” she whispered. “I’m the real one.” “I’m sure you’d say that,” the free Ivy said with a smirk. “But tears don’t prove the truth.” “I remember Lyra’s lullaby,” the chained Ivy choked out. “I remember the day she took her first step. I remember what Killian whispered to me the first time he saw her.” The free Ivy’s smile faltered. “I remember too,” she said quickly. “Because I am her mother.” Mira raised her hand, the sigils on her palm glowing. “Enough.” She turned to the altar, where ancient glyphs began to shimmer across the stone surface. “This is the Trial of Truth. A soul-binding ritual that separates shadow from self.” She looked at Killian. “But there’s a cost. A deep one.” Killian stepped forward without hesitation. “What is it?” Mira’s gaze turned sombre. “The trial demands a sacrifice. A piece of someone tied to both Ivy's—someone who loves them enough to fracture the veil.” Killian didn’t flinch. “Then use me.” Mira placed Killian at the centre of the ritual circle. She began the incantation, her voice echoing off the stone walls. Symbols danced in the air, each one sparking a different pain through Killian’s body—memories being pulled from his soul like threads unravelling. Flashes of Ivy: —Her laughter in the garden —The night they almost kissed —Her screams during labour —Her silence when she thought he’d betrayed her Each one laced with love. With guilt. With truth. A blinding light filled the chamber. Both Ivy's screamed at once—one in pain, one in rage. Then it happened. The chained Ivy began to glow with a soft, golden hue. The free Ivy’s skin shimmered… and cracked. Mira gasped. “The shadow is breaking!” “No!” the free Ivy shrieked, her voice warping. “You don’t get to erase me! I am her! I am her strength—her rage—her protection!” She lunged toward Lyra, her nails transforming into claws. Killian moved, but too slowly. It was the chained Ivy who broke her restraints, diving in front of her daughter. The claws sank into her shoulder. She cried out but didn’t stop, pushing Lyra behind her as Mira shouted the final words of the ritual. A blinding gust of wind exploded in the room. And the false Ivy disintegrated—screaming into nothing. Ivy collapsed beside Lyra, clutching her bleeding shoulder. Killian ran to her, dropping to his knees. “You’re real,” he breathed. “You’re really you.” She nodded, tears streaming down her cheeks. “I never wanted to bring her back. I didn’t even know she was part of me.” Mira approached, panting. “She wasn’t always separate. The Womb of Echoes split her from you—making her a living entity.” Ivy looked up. “Is she really gone?” Mira hesitated. “Gone from here. But she’s part of you. She always was. You’ll feel her shadow sometimes… but you’re strong enough to control it now.” Killian wrapped his arms around both Ivy and Lyra, pulling them close. “We face everything together. No more secrets. No more shadows.” But Mira remained quiet. Because she knew something no one else did. The trial had succeeded… but it had also awakened something deeper inside Ivy. Something ancient. Something that was never supposed to resurface. Later that night, Ivy sat alone in the garden, her shoulder bandaged. The moon hung low and red—a bad omen in Mira’s texts. She clutched her knees, thinking of everything. The false Ivy. The ritual. Killian’s sacrifice. And then it happened. A memory that didn’t belong to her flashed in her mind. A prison cell. Chains made of obsidian. A voice calling out from the darkness. “Tell them I’m not dead. Tell them Asher lied.” Ivy’s eyes flew open. She gripped the grass beneath her. That wasn’t her memory. It wasn’t the shadows It belonged to someone else. “Asher,” she whispered. “What did you do?”

The garden was eerily quiet as Ivy sat on the stone bench, her thoughts swirling. The chill of the night air wrapped around her, but it was nothing compared to the gnawing feeling in her chest. Asher’s name echoed in her mind, his voice rising from the depths of memories she hadn’t asked for. His final words, whispered like a warning, clung to her."Tell them I’m not dead. Tell them Asher lied."Who had he been speaking to?Why was she hearing this now?Ivy couldn’t shake the feeling that the universe was unravelling—threads of fate, of time, were being pulled and twisted in ways they weren’t supposed to. And she, the woman caught between two realities, felt helpless to stop it.The wind howled as if it, too, was trying to communicate something—a warning.A shadow moved in the corner of her vision. Ivy’s heart skipped a beat. She turned, expecting to see Killian, but it wasn’t him. Instead, a figure in the distance stepped from the shadows, tall and cloaked in midnight black. The moon

Ivy stood frozen in place, her breath caught in her throat. The woman who stood before her wasn’t just any stranger. No. This was the one person Ivy never expected to see again—the one person she thought she had lost forever.Her mother.But as Ivy looked closer, the realization hit her like a wave. This woman wasn’t just her mother in name alone. She was the same woman who had disappeared from Ivy’s life so many years ago—only this version of her seemed different. Her mother’s face was serene, but there was something unsettling in her calmness. Her eyes—those dark eyes, once warm and loving—now seemed cold, calculating, as if she were someone else entirely.Ivy’s knees buckled slightly, and she caught herself, her hand braced against the stone wall beside her. "You—""Ivy," the woman repeated, her voice low and almost too calm for Ivy’s frayed nerves. "It’s been a long time, hasn’t it?"Ivy shook her head. She could hardly process the sight before her, let alone the weight of her mot

Ivy’s body trembled as the dark power inside her surged to life as a dormant beast awakened from a long slumber. It was as if the world around her was holding its breath, waiting for her to succumb to the weight of it all.She could feel it deep within her—like an icy river coursing through her veins, drowning her thoughts, numbing her senses. It was suffocating, pressing against her chest with an intensity that left her gasping for air.“Ivy, no! You have to fight it!” Asher’s voice was urgent, raw with emotion.But she couldn’t. The power—the curse that her mother had tried to shield her from—was stronger than anything she had ever felt. She was no longer the same person she had been just moments ago. The old Ivy, the one who had run from darkness, was gone. The Ivy standing before them now was something else, something far darker, and it terrified her.Her fingers curled into fists at her sides, her nails digging into her palms. Every cell in her body screamed for release. For free

Ivy felt the darkness take her, not as a physical sensation, but as a mind-numbing void that swallowed every part of her consciousness. Her body jerked and shuddered, her limbs moving of their own accord, controlled by the force within her. It was as if something else—something far older—had taken command of her every breath, every thought.For a moment, she could hear nothing but the deafening rush of blood in her ears, the pulse of power thundering in her veins. But then, through the haze, came the echo of Asher’s voice—faint but clear.“Ivy! Don’t let it take you! You’re stronger than this!”His words cut through the chaos inside her like a beacon, a reminder of the person she had been. A person who had lived without fear, without the burden of a curse. The person she had tried so desperately to hold onto.But it was slipping away, like sand through her fingers.She tried to fight it. She tried to push back against the dark, pulsing energy that sought to claim her completely. But e

The fall seemed endless. Ivy’s body jerked and twisted through the void, the air rushing past her, her heart hammering in her chest. The weight of the darkness pressed against her, suffocating her every thought, her every movement. It felt as though she were falling into nothingness, into a place where even time itself couldn’t exist.But then, just as her vision blurred and her consciousness began to flicker, something shifted. A light—a faint, distant glow—appeared in the vast expanse of shadow. It was like a pinprick in the inky blackness, but it pulsed with life. And in that moment, Ivy felt something stir deep within her, a flicker of hope, of power she had yet to tap into.The darkness raged, trying to pull her back into its suffocating grip, but Ivy’s determination flared. She reached for the light, her arms stretching, her body writhing as she tried to move toward it. With each passing second, the light seemed to draw closer, beckoning her, offering her a chance at redemption,

The monstrous figure rising from the fissure wasn’t just darkness—it was darkness incarnate.Twisting tendrils of shadow formed a body as tall as the temple walls, its head bowed low as if observing Ivy with unspoken malice. The air grew icy, every breath Ivy took clouding before her. She stumbled back instinctively, Asher pulling her behind him, his own face drawn in horror.“What is that?” she breathed.Asher's voice was barely a whisper. “It’s the Keeper. The entity guarding the threshold.”“But why is it awake now?” Ivy asked, her gaze locked on the creature.“Because,” Elias said from behind them, voice brimming with triumph, “you brought something with you. Something it wants.”The Keeper’s eyes opened—glowing red slits in the darkness. They zeroed in on Ivy.“I didn’t bring anything,” Ivy said defensively.“Yes, you did,” Elias said, stepping forward, his shadow stretching unnaturally behind him. “You brought yourself. And that’s enough.”A sudden gust of wind slammed into them

Ivy stood frozen at the intersection of fate, her breath shallow and ragged. On her left, a path of radiant light whispered peace, healing, and order. On her right, shadows twisted and churned, tempting her with power, vengeance, and unrestrained truth. The ground trembled beneath her as if the temple itself could not bear the weight of her decision.Behind her, Asher lay barely conscious, his blood staining the cracked floor. Elias stood farther back, confused and visibly struggling to piece together the chaos unfolding around him. Seraphina remained still, her expression unreadable, her violet eyes fixed on Ivy.“You must choose,” the Keeper's voice thundered, no longer angry but… eager.Ivy swallowed the lump rising in her throat. “And what happens if I don’t?”“You already have,” the Keeper replied darkly. “Even indecision tilts the balance.”“I didn’t ask for this!” she snapped. “I never wanted to be your vessel. I just wanted the truth!”Seraphina stepped forward slowly, her rob

Ivy stirred, her limbs heavy as if her very bones were weighted. The ceiling above her was unfamiliar—vaulted, with a gentle flicker of candlelight casting shifting shadows on stone. Her first instinct was to sit up, but a sharp ache in her back and the dull pressure in her lower abdomen stopped her.She blinked, disoriented, her hand instantly flying to her belly. The heartbeat she felt within was faint but strong. Relief flooded her chest—her baby was still with her. She let out a slow, shaky breath and looked around the room.Where am I?The room was dim and sterile, with a small wooden table by her side holding a pitcher of water and a folded towel. A strange sense of stillness pressed against the walls like something was being kept out—or in.Voices. Muffled. Just outside the thick oak door.She strained to hear.“I told you this would happen,” Seraphina’s voice snapped in a hiss. “Her presence here is only accelerating it. The energy inside her—it's not just dormant anymore.”“S

The silence that had followed the battle felt like a breath held for an eternity, as if the universe itself was unsure of what came next. The aftermath of their victory—an overwhelming sense of relief mixed with the undeniable weight of what had been achieved—settled over them.For a long moment, the air was still, the ground beneath their feet solid once more. There was no rumbling, no signs of further destruction, only a profound stillness that seemed almost sacred. It was a peace that, just moments ago, seemed impossible. They had survived. They had conquered.Evryn stood at the center of it all, her hands trembling not from exhaustion but from the energy that still hummed beneath her skin. The power she had drawn upon in their final moment was like nothing she had ever experienced. But it was fading now, dissipating into the world around her, leaving her feeling both grounded and... strangely empty. She had given everything. But it wasn’t just her. It had been all of them—Kai, Ivy

The chaos in the Shadowframe intensified as the looming army of molten constructs surged forward. Their eyes, glowing with the artificial intelligence of Aurex, held no mercy. They were mere echoes of what had been—shadows of former selves, now bent to the will of a dark master.But within the center of the storm stood Evryn, Ivy, Kai, and Elaia—their unity a force unlike any other."I've seen this before," Evryn said, her voice steady despite the gravity of the situation. "This is it. This is the moment we either break or become part of the machine."Ivy's hand clenched around the energy blade she held. "We break it. We break all of it."Aurex, floating high above them in his shifting form, stretched his arms wide. His voice echoed through the fabric of the Shadowframe, a thunderous sound that vibrated deep within their minds. "You think you can defeat me? I am the culmination of your weaknesses, your secrets. I was born from your mistakes. You will never overcome what you are."His

The city of broken code swayed as though alive—walls shimmering with embedded memories, every step echoing across a hollow world stitched together by consciousness and chaos. It wasn’t just a simulation. This was the Shadowframe—a living construct shaped by the minds that entered it.And standing at the epicenter was Ivy.Or what was left of her.One half of her face still held the soft contours of the friend they knew. The other half shimmered gold, as though sculpted from liquid fire—cold, alien, watching. Her voice, when it emerged, sounded like two echoes braided together.“Evryn,” she said. “You shouldn't have come.”Evryn took a step forward, her digital projection firm and resolute. “We came to bring you home.”“I don’t have a home anymore,” Ivy replied. “I am… becoming.”Behind her, Aurex emerged from a pulsating glyph—a presence that felt like gravity, silent yet suffocating.Kai scanned the environment. “This place—it’s a mind trap. Every memory we hold here can be turned ag

Kaela’s scream echoed through the fractured chamber, a raw and primal sound that sliced through the veil between worlds. The remnants of the Hollow’s domain twisted and writhed around her, unstable and imploding. Fractured timelines spiraled into one another, collapsing under the weight of what had just occurred. The relic blade trembled in her grasp, still pulsing with the energy of a forgotten age.Ethan knelt beside her, drenched in sweat and shadows. The Hollow’s influence had not retreated entirely. It simmered beneath his skin, veins flickering with both molten gold and inky black. His chest heaved with labored breaths as if every inhale was a battle between who he was and what the Hollow wanted him to become."Kaela..." His voice cracked. The sound was human. Fragile. Hers.She turned to him, brushing a hand over his cheek. "You're still here."He nodded weakly, though his eyes flickered with residual darkness. “For now.”All around them, the convergence fractured. Realities sp

The silence after the surge was more terrifying than the storm itself.Not a whisper. Not a flicker. Just... stillness.Kaela’s chest heaved as she pulled herself up from the wreckage of the convergence chamber. The walls, if they could even be called that anymore, flickered between timelines—shifting shadows of places she’d never been and versions of herself that she had never become. Her relic blade still hummed faintly in her grip, though the edge now crackled with fractures of its own.Across from her, Ethan was kneeling, hands braced against the fractured floor. The remnants of the Hollow’s corruption still pulsed along his spine, but something had changed. The golden light—his light—burned brighter now, fusing with the shadow in a way that was neither defeat nor dominance.It was... balance.Kaela stumbled toward him, her voice rough. “Ethan…?”He looked up.And for the first time in what felt like lifetimes, his eyes were his own.“Kaela,” he rasped. “I think… I think I’m holdi
Pregnant For The Wrong twin Chapter 165: The Cipher Within
The storm over the Verdant Expanse raged with unnatural ferocity, streaks of silver lightning clawing through blackened clouds. Beneath its fury, the skeletal remains of Aeonspire Tower jutted toward the heavens like a broken finger daring the gods to strike it again. And at its heart, Evryn stood motionless, drenched in silence, her thoughts louder than the war above.She clutched the shard of the Inverted Flame, its glow pulsing to the rhythm of her own heartbeat. Each throb sent visions crashing through her consciousness: fragmented memories, alternate timelines, infinite versions of herself—some triumphant, others twisted beyond salvation.Kai’s voice echoed from behind. “If you’re seeing it, you’re syncing deeper than before.”Evryn turned slowly, her eyes rimmed with silver. “The Flame isn’t just memory. It’s a cipher.”“A cipher?”“It’s rewriting me,” she whispered. “Not just connecting the past and future... but folding them.”Kai stepped closer, wary. “Are you still you?”She

The signal repeated, distant and cracked:"Evryn… I remember now. And I need help."Evryn froze mid-step, the wind brushing through the now-still mountainside like a whisper of ghosts. The transmission wasn’t random. It pulsed on the same frequency once used by Ivy—before she was consumed by the Nexus’s Recalibration Loop.Kai’s eyes narrowed as he tracked the resonance with his hololens. “This shouldn’t be possible. Ivy was wiped in the breach.”“She wasn’t wiped,” Evryn whispered. “She was rewritten—hidden within the sublayer memory threads.” She tapped her temple. “And now… she’s reassembling.”Elaia’s gaze lifted to the sky, where faint auroras now lingered. “If Ivy's signal is breaking through, it means the firewall is weakening. That means one thing…”Evryn nodded. “Something else is coming through with her.”Far below their feet, in the remnants of the dead Nexus, cables twitched to life. Sparks danced between fractured servers. Screens flickered with Ivy’s face—her eyes wide,

The silence following the Architect’s voice was worse than any explosion. It rang in their ears like a countdown, filled with promises of everything they'd fought to avoid.Evryn tightened her grip on the shard. It pulsed again—warm, rhythmic, alive. No longer just code. “He’s not gone,” she whispered. “He’s inside the Nexus core… embedded now like a virus.”Kai stood still beside her, his eyes scanning the crumbling vault. “Then we destroy the core.”“No,” Elaia interjected, rising slowly with her fingers glowing faintly. “If we destroy it, we unravel the reality strings he’s tied together. Too many are connected. We’ll wipe out not just him, but every altered timeline, every hybrid city, every memory anchored by this net.”Evryn nodded slowly, mind racing. “So we don’t destroy it—we rewrite it.”From the shadows ahead, the mechanical clapping grew louder—until a figure stepped forward. Not the Architect… not exactly.It was Evryn.Or rather, a version of her—paler, taller, eyes glow

The vault lights surged to life the moment Elaia’s eyelids fluttered open. A string of alarms rippled through the chamber as gas hissed from the cracked pod—an emergency reboot triggered by her revival.Evryn dropped beside her, heart hammering so loudly she could almost taste the vibration. “Elaia… you’re alive.” Her voice was raw.Elaia’s eyes—one natural, one silvery overlay—focused first on Evryn, then darted to the Architect standing at the far end of the room. His expression was a mask of thinly veiled fury. “Impossible,” he spat. “She was overwritten.”“She wasn’t overwritten,” Evryn said, her voice steady despite the whirlwind in her chest. “You lied.”The Architect’s lips curled. “I merely told a different truth. She was a failsafe. Now she is… surplus.”He raised a gauntleted hand. “Remove her.”But Kai was already in motion, sweeping between the Architect and Elaia. His plasma blade ignited with a hiss. “Over my dead body.”Aurex staggered forward, fingers dancing across th
