Chapter 70 : The God Who Waits

The morning air was still. But Nyxar was not.He stood on the highest tower of the castle, unmoving, save for the subtle twitch of his fingers against the stone. The dawn had begun its slow creep across the sky, spilling soft hues of rose and gold over the jagged peaks below. Cold wind sliced around him, howling like some ancient beast - but he didn’t flinch.He breathed it in. Or at least, he mimicked the motion. It had been a long time since he’d drawn air into lungs.Longer still since he’d needed to. But now… something in him wanted to.He turned his gaze toward the east, toward the distant forest where the ruins of his last prison lay buried beneath centuries of silence and death. It had taken the Queen's blood and the witches howl to wake him. To break the veil that kept his soul adrift in shadow.And now, he watched the world through new eyes.Human eyes.That thought curled in his mind like smoke.Nyxar flexed his hand and watched his fingers stretch and move. Not claws. Not

Chapter 71 : Shadows at the Council Table

Lyra's POV The war room buzzed with quiet murmurs and cautious glances. The circular table at the heart of the chamber, carved from obsidian and etched with the runes of past rulers, hadn’t seen this level of tension in weeks. The High Council was assembling - lords, advisors, and surviving generals of the fractured realm. Every seat was filled.Kane stood at the head of the table, his posture straight, his golden eyes sharp. Beside him, Lyra exuded icy composure, though a low flicker of energy coiled beneath her skin - Thalia was restless, watching.Only one seat remained empty, deliberately left open.The one meant for a god… or a monster."Where is he?" Lord Rhogan asked, one brow arched in suspicion. "This entity you brought into our castle. The being who answered your summons...""He will be here," Lyra interrupted coolly, her voice slicing through the chatter. "And he’s not just our concern anymore. He heard the Harbinger’s call. That makes him everyone’s problem."A wave of di

Chapter 72 : Shadows Between the Stars

Lyra’s POVThe castle’s rooftop garden was drenched in silver moonlight, the air sharp with the scent of frost-dusted herbs and dying roses. It was quiet here, far above the murmuring halls, away from the war room’s tension and Nyxar’s unsettling grin.Lyra stood near the stone ledge, her arms wrapped around herself as the cold wind played with her hair. Kane was close, silent, watchful. Neither of them had said much since the meeting ended, but the weight of it lingered - coiling in the spaces between breaths.“He unsettles them,” she said finally, voice low.Kane, leaning against the wall beside her, didn’t look at her when he answered. “He unsettles me.”She glanced at him, the hard line of his jaw shadowed by moonlight. “Because he knows things we don’t? Or because he doesn’t fear us?”Kane’s golden gaze met hers then. “Because he reminds me of what’s out there. What we haven’t faced yet.”Lyra nodded. “The Harbinger.”A beat of silence.“Do you remember what Nyxar said?” she aske

Chapter 73 : The Flame Within

The moon had crept high over the mountains by the time Lyra and Kane finally found rest.Their chamber was bathed in silvery light, soft shadows stretching across stone walls and silk sheets. The distant hum of the castle had long since quieted, but Lyra’s mind would not still. Too many voices echoed in her memory - the council’s doubts, Nyxar’s unsettling smile, and above them all, the whisper of something older. Something ancient clawing at the edges of her soul.She lay beside Kane, his hand resting on her waist, thumb tracing idle circles on her bare skin. He hadn't spoken in several minutes, but he didn’t need to. His presence alone was a weight anchoring her in place. Steadying her.“You’re still awake,” he said softly, lips brushing the shell of her ear.Lyra sighed, not denying it. “I can’t shut it off. My mind. Thalia. The Queen…”Kane shifted closer, draping an arm across her, letting her tuck into his chest.“She’s louder now,” Lyra murmured. “Ever since the summoning… it’

Chapter 74 : The Memory That Burned

Nyxar’s POVHe stood alone on one of the castle’s silent terraces, the crescent moon casting a silver sheen over the empty garden below. The night air hung heavy - so still, it could’ve been trapped in time. Stars above blinked faintly, as though watching. Waiting.But Nyxar wasn’t truly here.His body stood in the present, a shell cloaked in shadows and scars. His mind, however, had already slipped sideways - dragged by something unseen, something ancient and unforgiving. He didn’t fight it.Because the moment always came. And every time, it bled him raw.The first thing he remembered was the wind - wild, feral, roaring with the anguish of a dying world. It howled through the high halls of the old palace, sweeping ash and embers in spirals around crumbling columns. The sky had turned crimson, split with veins of black. The earth had trembled under the weight of fate.And in the center of it all, she stood.The First Queen.Tall. Unyielding. Drenched in war and starlight.Her silver h

Chapter 75 : The Monster Beneath the Skin

Nyxar’s Point of ViewThe memory left a taste of blood in his mouth.Nyxar sat in the shadows of the council chamber’s ruined antechamber, long after the last of the murmuring nobles had gone, after Kane had led Lyra away with that overprotective fire in his eyes. After silence had crept back into the halls like a loyal hound returning to its master.His fingers curled on the armrest of the abandoned stone throne he now claimed for himself - not as ruler, not as ally, but as something older. Stranger. Stronger. Something none of them yet understood. Not even Lyra.Especially not Lyra.He tilted his head back and let his eyes drift shut, but the memory still clung to the inside of his eyelids like soot. Her scream - no, not Lyra’s. Her scream. The First Queen.He had not meant to remember. He never did. And yet, her blood was still on his hands.The Harbinger hadn’t screamed. Not when she struck him. Not when the blade pierced bone and eternity alike.Only she had.She had wept, not fo

Chapter 76 : The Voice Beneath the Flame

Lyra’s POVThe morning broke silver and quiet, shrouded in a mist that clung to the castle’s stone like breath on glass. Pale light filtered through the stained-glass windows of their chamber, casting fractured colors across the floor. It should have been beautiful - ethereal, even - but to Lyra, it felt heavy. Still.She sat at the edge of the bed, bare feet pressed to the cold floor, her elbows resting on her thighs, and her fingers laced together tightly enough to turn her knuckles white. Her hair clung in damp strands to the back of her neck, still tangled from sleep, though the dream had done anything but offer rest.Kane stirred behind her. She didn’t turn. She felt him before he touched her - his warmth, his scent, the tension coiled in his chest like a storm waiting for its cue to break."You're still trembling," he said softly.Was she? "Tell me exactly what did you saw." Kane requested softly. Lyra blinked and looked down at her hands. Thalia was quiet inside her, but not

Chapter 77 : Embers Beneath the Throne

The council chamber was quieter now, but not at peace.Though the meeting with Nyxar had concluded hours earlier, ripples of unease still echoed through the halls. Lords and generals murmured in corners, witches moved in hushed urgency, and scouts returned with scrolls of hastily marked maps. The war was no longer a looming possibility - it was rising like a tide.Lyra stood at the balcony just beyond the war room, the morning light casting long golden shadows across the stone floor. Below, the central courtyard buzzed with motion - soldiers drilling, supplies being loaded on trucks, hawks flying messages north and south. A kingdom on edge.But her thoughts weren’t in the present. They were still drifting between dreams and memory. Between herself and the woman who once bore her soul.Kane approached quietly from behind. His steps were deliberate, but she sensed him before he spoke.Kane looked past her, to the horizon. “The witches said they’d prepare the chamber for you. The one ben

Chapter 78 : Shadows That Burn

Nyxar’s POV Memory - Centuries AgoThe wind screamed across the blackened field.Ash rained from a blood-red sky, coating twisted bodies and shattered stone. The scent of burned fur and scorched flesh clung to the earth like a curse. The once-sacred forest beyond was little more than smoking cinders. Magic, wild and broken, cracked the air.Nyxar stood on the ridge alone, the last sentinel of a battlefield long lost.The Harbinger lay below.Not dead. Not yet. But close.His massive form twitched, the remnants of his transformation failing to hold. Horns cracked and receded. Bone armor dissolved into steaming fragments. The darkness that once clung to him like a second skin bled from his pores in ribbons of shadow.And she stood over him. The First Queen.The golden circlet on her brow glowed with the heat of her fury. Her long braid was torn, her gown singed, but her eyes blazed with undying fire. Her blad -that cursed blade - was buried deep in his chest.Nyxar’s hands fisted at h

Chapter 79 : Silver Dawn

The dawn came softly - filtered through the arched windows of the royal chambers in a haze of pale gold and quiet wind. The stone walls, usually so cold and austere, now carried the scent of lavender and ash, clinging to the lingering warmth of the night before. Kane stirred before the light touched his face, instincts sharpened like blades drawn from their sheath.Something was different.Not wrong. Just… altered. Shifted.His breathing slowed as his eyes opened, and his body - so often wound tight from years of battle and command - remained still, like prey sensing a predator… or a storm sensing change in the wind.He turned his head slowly.Lyra lay beside him, unmoving in the gentle glow of morning. But she wasn’t the same.Her hair - once dark and silken with subtle curls - now shimmered like strands of molten moonlight. Pale silver streaked through the locks, catching light like a halo, and her skin glowed faintly with an ethereal sheen, as if something ancient had awakened with
