Beyond the veil of humanity, In a world where demons, vampires, werewolves, witches, and fairies coexist, the delicate balance of power is disrupted by the emergence of a forbidden mixed-breed. As prophecies unfold and allegiances shift, the fate of...
_POV:ASHER_ Asher approached the entrance, dark specters waltzing across the walls.His hand extended, hesitating, as if expecting an invisible barrier. The veil Aria had cast to protect him and the cave shimmered like a soap bubble as his fingers made contact.
Slowly, his hand went forward, like testing an invisible door, which there was. As Asher's hand came into contact with it, the veil bubbled, its surface rippling like water.
He was surprised as he withdrew his hand, only to try again. This time, he put his hand through slowly, and his entire body passed through the veil. He gasped in astonishment, his breath catching in his throat.
The place was breathtakingly beautiful at dim-day,it was dark nor day time...
Wildflowers swaying in the breeze and a faint light casting a warm glow... The area was filled with flowers and tall grasses..
Asher started his journey into the unknown, driven by a glimmer of hope to find his way home. His feet carried him forward...
As he walked endlessly, the landscape shifted, and he arrived at a boundary between light and darkness. The contrast was jarring, like two worlds colliding. Asher felt an inexplicable pull toward the shadows, his heart quickening. He heard faint whispers but couldn't tell what it said...
He shook his head, caution warring with curiosity. Suddenly, his back hit a broad frame, and he was lifted off the ground.
"Gotcha!"
Callisto's voice boomed, his hot breath on Asher's neck.
Asher's panic kicked in, his heart racing as he recognized the voice.
"Let me go!!" he yelled, struggling against Callisto's iron grip.
Callisto dragged him through the grassy land, into the devouring darkness. Asher felt the shadows absorb him, his screams echoing within his mind, silenced by some unseen force. A tear escaped his eye as he resigned himself to fate's cruel twist.
Callisto took him to a decrepit mansion, its gates creaking in protest as they swung open. The sound echoed through the stillness, a haunting melody.
As they entered the hall, Callisto tossed Asher to the floor, sending him crashing into the staircase. The impact sent a searing pain through his skull.
"Ahh!" Asher winced, his vision blurring.
"I've found him, Voltmorth," Callisto declared, his voice reverberating through the hall.
A figure emerged from the shadows, features obscured by darkness. His presence seemed oppressive...
"Hmm." Voltmorth's voice was low, measured. "He smells no different from a human... fascinating."
Callisto scoffed, baring his fangs. "Do you know how much resistance I took not to drain him out?"
Asher struggled to sit up, but each movement weighed him down. His head spun, and his body ached.
"It's him," Voltmorth declared, a sly smirk spreading across his hidden face.
"What do you plan to do with him?" Callisto asked, his eyes glinting.
"Since we've already found him before those wretched clans did..." Voltmorth's voice dripped with satisfaction..he paused a smile tugging on his lips..
"Ha! Even with all their alliances, I still found him. I am always ten steps ahead the walls of Tenebrous shall be mine...soon" Voltmorth turned his back to Callisto and walked up the stairs.
"Come with me... bring him with you." The command was laced with an unnerving intensity.
"Come on, wimp!"
Callisto started dragging Asher again, his head bumping against each step. Asher's world narrowed to darkness, and he succumbed to unconsciousness....
