All Chapters of Incognito : Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

** ** **When Damien got back, his parents were on his neck because he just left the house without telling anyone. They even grounded him for a week because of that but he wasn’t even paying attention to them. His brain was still replaying the day he just had with Matilda, the long walks, the long talks, the games and of course, his first kiss. The truth was that, even if they went back in time, he wouldn’t change any of the things he did. The thing he did to warrant getting grounded for a week was definitely worth it.***Lupa’s phone buzzed, pulling her attention away from the window where she had been silently brooding over the evening’s events. Damien had been grounded, and the tension in the house was thick enough to cut with a knife. She sighed, picking up the phone and reading the message from Claud.Come outside.Curious, she stood up and made her way down the stairs, her brow furrowed. As she descended, she noticed something unusual on the dining table. A sleek, midnight-b

The warmth of her breath sent a shiver down his spine, and before he could respond, she grabbed his hand and pulled him into the middle of the living room, where everyone was dancing. They danced together, surrounded by their friends, the music pulsing around them, and for a while, Damien let himself forget everything else. It was just him, Matilda, and the rhythm of the night. At one point, Felix and Jackson tried to pull off ridiculous dance moves, earning them applause and laughter from the small crowd of people watching. Lydia and Amanda cheered them on, and Annie joined in, laughing so hard she could barely keep up with the music. Damien was having the time of his life, his heart light and carefree. But then, as they danced, Matilda leaned in again, her lips close to his ear. “Hey, let’s get out of here for a bit,” she whispered, her eyes sparkling with mischief. Damien blinked, caught off guard by the suggestion. But he didn’t hesitate. Nodding, he took her hand and le

Matilda approached the altar, her heart pounding in her chest. She could feel the immense power humming beneath the surface, waiting, anticipating its release. The Eldershard crystal seemed to vibrate against her skin, its light growing brighter with each step she took.She stood before the altar, the cold stone towering above her, and reached for the crystal. The amulet was warm in her hand, almost burning, as if eager to fulfill its purpose. She lifted it high, holding it above the altar, and with a deep breath, pressed the crystal against the ancient markings carved into the stone.The reaction was Immediate. The runes on the ground began to glow fiercely, the blue light spreading outward in waves, illuminating the entire clearing. The earth beneath her feet trembled, and the air became thick with power, crackling with energy. A deep rumble echoed from within the ground, growing louder, more intense, as if something massive was stirring from a long slumber.Matilda stepped back,

** ** **“Hey there.”“How’s it going?” Stephan said. “I was starting to believe you just left me here to rot.”“Why would I do that? I want control as much as you do.”“So how are you going to get me out?”“Patience. We’ll just give the Velakar time to properly beat Astrid and any reinforcements she calls in.”“What if they actually subdue it?”“It’s not possible. The creature is immortal and also intelligent. Astrid has raw power but not enough battle experience to be able to take it down. She’ll bruise it but it’ll win eventually.”“Just do your part. There’s no point waiting.”“It’s not as easy as you think.”“What’s so hard in summoning a meeting of the celestials and suggesting they release me to earth to take control of the situation that Astrid obviously can not?”“I’ll try.” Orionis said. “Just hang in there for me. Don’t go anywhere.”“Like I could if I wanted to.”** ** **Matilda perched on a high tree branch, her legs swinging lazily as she watched the chaotic battle unfo

After the meeting concluded, Orionis accompanied two celestial guards as they descended into the depths of the celestial prison. The shimmering hallways were lined with ethereal runes designed to keep even the most powerful beings contained.At the far end of the prison stood a door, shimmering with protective wards. The guards exchanged glances before opening it, revealing Stephan, the former arbiter, sitting in the dimly lit cell. His form was diminished, but his eyes still burned with an intensity that suggested his power had never truly faded.The guards unbound him, their expressions filled with distrust. As they stepped back, Orionis remained, his gaze locked on Stephan.The moment the guards were out of sight, Stephan stood and stretched, his joints cracking in the silence. He turned to Orionis with a smirk that sent a chill down the Stellar Guardian’s spine.“Phase two, complete,” Stephan said, his voice dripping with satisfaction.Orionis stiffened, his galaxies swirling in
