The air within the temple seemed to hum with anticipation, as though the very stones were holding their breath, waiting for what was to come. Elric’s heart raced as he stood before the mysterious figure, their dark robes flowing with an ethereal grace. His mind swirled with questions—who were they truly, and what did the trials of the Forgotten entail? He had long known that the truth about the Protector’s past was shrouded in mystery, but now that he stood on the precipice of unraveling it, the weight of the task ahead felt almost insurmountable.

“You’ve come far, Prince Elric,” the figure spoke, their voice soft yet commanding, like the whisper of wind through the hollowed ruins. “But the path ahead is not one that can be walked without sacrifice.”

Elric straightened, determination flashing in his eyes. “I will do whatever it takes. The Protector’s reign has stolen too much from this kingdom. The people deserve the truth, no matter the cost.”

The figure nodded solemnly, as though th

    The chamber was silent, save for the soft echo of Elric's footsteps as he walked away from the pedestal. The weight of the Memory Crystal’s revelation pressed heavily upon him, each step feeling heavier than the last. His mind replayed the vision over and over—the image of the Protector, once a noble leader, now a twisted, power-hungry shadow of his former self.Alara kept pace beside him, her gaze fixed ahead, yet her silence spoke volumes. She, too, understood the gravity of what had just been uncovered. The echoes of betrayal hung in the air like a thick fog, suffocating them both."Do you believe there's any way to save him?" Alara asked softly, breaking the stillness. Elric shook his head, his voice a low murmur. "No. He made his choice long ago, and now it is too late. The man we knew is gone. The Protector... Tyrandros... they are one in the same now, consumed by their own ambition."They reached the edge of the cavern, where the new door had opened, a swirling vortex of dark

    The gates of the fortress groaned as they slowly opened, revealing a long, dark corridor lined with jagged stones and flickering torches. The air was thick with the stench of decay, and the walls seemed to pulse with a malevolent energy, as though the very stones were alive with the dark magic that had corrupted the land. Elric and Alara stood at the threshold, eyes narrowed, ready for the final confrontation.But as they stepped into the fortress, a sense of unease settled over them. The atmosphere was oppressive, as though the walls themselves were closing in, testing their resolve. Elric could feel the weight of destiny pressing down on him, but something was wrong. The silence was unnerving, too quiet for a place so filled with power. The only sound was their footsteps echoing down the narrow corridor."I don't like this," Alara murmured, her voice barely a whisper. "It’s too still. Like we're walking into a trap."Elric nodded, his hand tightening around the hilt of Luminaris. "B

    The ground trembled beneath Elric’s feet as the Protector emerged from the altar, his presence darkening the very air around them. His form, cloaked in swirling shadows, towered above them, an embodiment of all the darkness that had taken root in the kingdom. His crimson eyes gleamed with an intensity that sent a chill through Elric’s spine. This was no longer just a battle for power—it was a battle for the very soul of the kingdom."Elric..." The Protector’s voice was a low, echoing growl, filled with centuries of rage and resentment. "You’ve come so far, only to fall short. You think your light can save this world, but you’re blind. The tide has turned, and you stand against the inevitable."Elric stood tall, his grip tightening on Luminaris. The sword pulsed with a warm, golden light, the only beacon in the growing darkness. "You’re wrong, Protector. The darkness you embrace will never conquer the light. Not as long as we fight."Alara stepped beside him, her expression grim but re

    The battle had ended, but the war was far from over.Elric stood on the edge of the citadel, gazing out over the ruined landscape, his thoughts heavy. The destruction of the Protector had been a hard-won victory, but the victory felt hollow, as if the earth itself held its breath, waiting for something darker to emerge from the shadows. The warning of the Protector echoed in his mind: *“Fate cannot be outrun.”*Alara joined him on the balcony, her face pale but determined. "We’ve won this battle, Elric. But what’s next? The Protector may be gone, but there’s something more behind all of this."Elric turned to her, his brow furrowed. "I don’t know, Alara. But I can feel it—there’s a darkness creeping in, something that isn’t being spoken. The real war... it’s still out there, waiting."They both knew that the forces of darkness were not defeated in one strike. There were whispers, ancient and elusive, of a silent war that had been waged beneath the surface for centuries—a war fought in

  • YOU ARE MY GIRLFRIEND BILLIONAIRE SINCE 1692   CHAPTER 246: THE UNSEEN HAND

    The air inside the opulent ballroom was thick with tension, the soft hum of distant conversations and clinking glasses masking the undercurrent of unease. Arabela’s sharp eyes scanned the room, her fingers absently tracing the stem of her glass. Christine stood beside her, feigning interest in a meaningless conversation with a minor dignitary.“Do you see it?” Arabela murmured, her voice barely audible over the din.Christine’s lips curved into a polite smile as she replied, “Not yet. But it’s here, I can feel it.”They weren’t talking about a person. They weren’t even talking about something visible. What they sought was more insidious, more elusive: the unseen hand manipulating the events unfolding before them.The past week had been a whirlwind. Discreet inquiries had uncovered layers of deceit within their own circles. Allies had fallen silent, and whispers of betrayal grew louder. Tonight, this gathering was supposed to celebrate unity, but the two women knew better. Beneath the

    The cold press of steel against Arabela’s back froze her in place. For a fleeting moment, the sound of her heartbeat drowned out everything else—the whispers of the ballroom, the faint hum of distant music, even the sharp intake of her breath.“Drop the map,” the voice commanded. It was low, measured, and devoid of emotion.Slowly, Arabela let the map slip from her fingers, the parchment fluttering to the desk like a fallen leaf. She raised her hands in a gesture of compliance, her mind racing. The unseen hand had a face now, but she wasn’t about to let this end here.“You’ve gone to a lot of trouble for this,” she said evenly, her voice betraying none of the turmoil roiling inside. “Care to tell me why?”The man chuckled, a sound as sharp and cold as the blade he held. “Curiosity is a dangerous habit, Ms. Arabela. But since you’re about to disappear, I suppose it doesn’t matter.”From the corner of her eye, Arabela spotted the faintest movement outside the room. Christine. Her partne

    The room was bathed in a haunting stillness, the kind that made even the faintest breaths seem deafening. Christine stood at the edge of the grand hall, her fingers clutching the silken fabric of her dress. Before her, the mysterious veil that had obscured the truth for so long shimmered faintly, its presence both ominous and enticing.“Are you ready?” Arabela’s voice was steady, but there was a tremor in her hands as she held the ancient artifact they had uncovered together. It pulsed faintly, as if it held a life of its own, waiting for this moment.Christine nodded, her heart pounding. The journey to this point had been harrowing, filled with trials that tested their courage, friendship, and faith. Every revelation had brought them closer to this moment—the unveiling of secrets that had bound their fates together.With a deep breath, Christine stepped forward. The veil seemed to react, rippling like water disturbed by an unseen force.“Arabela, whatever happens, don’t let go,” she

    The grand ballroom of the Castillan estate was adorned with glittering chandeliers, their soft light casting golden hues across the marble floor. Nobles and dignitaries milled about, their faces masked with polite smiles and feigned indifference, though the undercurrent of tension was palpable.Arabela stood near one of the towering arched windows, her emerald gown shimmering like the ocean under the moonlight. Her eyes, sharp and calculating, scanned the crowd. The weight of her mission pressed heavily on her shoulders, yet she maintained an air of grace and poise."Christine," she murmured, her voice barely audible over the hum of conversations. Beside her, Christine tightened her grip on the crystal goblet she held, her silver dress a stark contrast to Arabela's vibrant attire. Christine's gaze followed Arabela's line of sight, landing on Lord Mortimer, the very man whose secrets could unravel their plans or secure their victory."He's moving toward the east wing," Christine noted,

    The room remained eerily quiet, the air thick with the remnants of the ancient presence that had just departed. Amelia stood motionless, her eyes fixed on the space where the figure had once stood. It felt as though time itself had stopped, leaving her suspended in a moment of crushing uncertainty.She could still feel the echoes of its words reverberating in her mind, a constant, insistent whisper that tugged at her thoughts. *The return of the ancient power...* The phrase repeated itself like a chant, drowning out everything else.Behind her, Alexander exhaled sharply, breaking the silence. His voice was low but firm, filled with an unsettling calmness. “We cannot ignore this. The threat is real.”Amelia turned to face him, her heart racing. She had seen him battle enemies, both mortal and immortal, but there was something different in his eyes now. A darkness, a flicker of doubt that she had never seen before. He, too, understood the weight of the situation—they both did.“What doe

    The weight of the figure’s words hung heavy in the air, a dark omen that threatened to overshadow everything they had fought for. Amelia’s breath caught in her chest as the figure’s glowing eyes pierced through the dim light of the library, its presence suffocating the room with an ancient and malevolent energy.Alexander stood motionless beside her, his expression unreadable, but his every muscle tensed with the unmistakable readiness of a warrior prepared for battle. The sword at his side seemed to hum with energy, as if it too sensed the arrival of something far older and far more dangerous than they could have imagined.The figure before them took a slow step forward, its cloak billowing with an unnatural wind that stirred the dust on the library’s floor. It seemed to glide across the ground, its movements deliberate, and its shadow stretched far beyond its form—dark and consuming, like the approach of a storm.Amelia’s mind raced as she tried to comprehend what she was facing.

    The mountain’s pulse had slowed, but the tension in the air remained thick, almost suffocating. The mysterious figure that had emerged from the shadows had vanished as quickly as it had appeared, leaving nothing behind but the deep tremors of the earth and the unsettling silence that followed. Amelia and Alexander stood motionless, their eyes scanning the rocky landscape, the eerie feeling of being watched lingering in the air.Amelia’s heart pounded in her chest, every nerve alert. The threat was real, and it wasn’t just the Crimson Order they were up against. Something older, something more powerful, was awakening—and it was clear now that their path had just become far more dangerous.“What was that?” Amelia whispered, her voice barely above a breath. She turned to Alexander, but his face remained unreadable, a mask of calm that belied the storm brewing in his mind.“I don’t know,” Alexander said, his voice low. “But I’ve never felt power like that before. It wasn’t just physical s

    The dim light of the underground chambers flickered as whispers filled the air, carrying with them an unsettling sense of urgency. In the heart of the resistance’s hideout, hidden beneath the city’s fractured streets, a plan was slowly coming together. The cracks in the foundation of the Crimson Order’s power were deepening, but so too was the desire for rebellion—a desire that now seemed to pulse through every corner of the world, from the highest towers to the deepest shadows.Amelia paced back and forth, her mind racing with the revelations of the past days. Yvan’s words haunted her, each sentence a weight she could scarcely bear. The world was teetering on the edge of something far darker than the Crimson Order had ever been, and the consequences of inaction would be catastrophic.Alexander stood at the edge of the room, his gaze distant, his posture tense. His thoughts, like hers, were heavy with the responsibility of the choices that lay ahead. He had been a soldier in countless

    The city buzzed with energy, a curious mix of anticipation and anxiety that crackled in the air like static. News of the Crimson Order’s return had spread quickly, and the once peaceful streets now felt charged with tension. Amelia stood atop a balcony, looking out over the sprawling metropolis, her mind restless as her thoughts returned to the ancient enemy they were about to face. “The calm before the storm,” she murmured, her fingers tracing the stone railing as the setting sun bathed the city in an amber glow. Behind her, Alexander’s voice was calm, but there was a quiet urgency in his words. “We cannot let the Crimson Order succeed in bringing back the altar’s power. It’s not just about us anymore—it’s about everything we’ve fought for.” Amelia turned to meet his gaze, her heart heavy with the weight of their shared history. “I know,” she replied softly. “But I keep wondering if we’re prepared for what’s coming. We can’t undo what was done to us. The bond… it’s a part of us

    The dawn brought with it a chill that seeped into Amelia’s bones as she prepared to join Alexander and Evelyn at the war council. Though the reports from the citadel were scant, the unease they carried was enough to rattle even the most seasoned among them. As she stepped into the chamber, the atmosphere was heavy with tension. The leaders of their alliance—human, immortal, and otherworldly alike—had gathered around the circular table. Maps and reports littered its surface, but all eyes turned to Evelyn, who stood at the head of the room. “Our scouts returned early this morning,” Evelyn began, her voice steady but somber. “The ruins of the citadel are no longer empty. Whoever these intruders are, they’ve fortified their position—and they’ve uncovered something.” A murmur rippled through the room. Amelia leaned forward, her heart pounding. “Uncovered what?” Evelyn hesitated before answering. “The remnants of the Obsidian Altar.” The room fell into stunned silence. The Obsidia

    The days following the monumental gathering were steeped in a rare, almost fragile tranquility. The city hummed with the sounds of progress, and its people moved with a renewed sense of purpose. Amelia found herself enjoying the quiet moments—a luxury she hadn’t experienced in centuries. She wandered through the newly rebuilt streets, her steps unhurried. Vendors called out cheerful greetings, children played games in the squares, and the scent of freshly baked bread wafted through the air. For the first time in what felt like forever, the world seemed... normal. But deep within her, Amelia knew better. “Something’s coming,” she muttered under her breath as she stood on the edge of the market, her gaze fixed on the distant mountains. Alexander’s voice interrupted her thoughts. “You feel it too.” She turned to see him approaching, his expression unreadable. His ability to mask his emotions was both a strength and a frustration to her, but in this moment, she could see the fai

    The dawn broke over a world transformed. Golden light spilled across the land, illuminating vast fields where the scars of war had once marred the earth. Now, green sprouted in abundance, and the air hummed with the vibrant energy of renewal. Amelia stood atop the hill that overlooked the city she had come to call home. It was not the city it had been when she and Alexander first arrived—fractured, divided, and weighed down by history. No, this was something new. The streets below thrummed with life as people moved with purpose and hope, building and rebuilding. “It’s beautiful,” she murmured, more to herself than anyone else. Alexander approached from behind, his steps quiet but sure. “It is. And it’s only the beginning.” She glanced at him, her expression contemplative. “Do you think it will last this time? After everything we’ve done… do you think peace can truly hold?” Alexander was quiet for a moment, his gaze fixed on the horizon. “Peace isn’t something that simply hap

It was a new era, one born of sacrifice, struggle, and triumph. The shadows that had once plagued the world had receded, and in their place, a bright light had emerged, strong and unwavering.Amelia stood at the window of their home, her eyes tracing the horizon where the city met the sky. The buildings that once stood as symbols of division and conquest now seemed to breathe with a new purpose. The streets, once silent and tense, now rang with the laughter of children, the bustle of merchants, and the sounds of life returning to its natural rhythm. She felt the weight of the moment, the weight of everything they had done, everything they had sacrificed, but also the weight of what still lay ahead. Peace was no longer an abstract concept—it was here. But with peace came responsibility, and with responsibility came the need for action.Beside her, Al
