Zane's Point Of View

She smiled, a little softer than usual, and for some reason it eased something inside me. I didn’t want to keep chewing on the Ronan mess, or my uncle, or the shadows of the past. So when she suggested practicing… really practicing, I agreed without hesitation.

The training hall was almost empty at that hour, the kind of silence where every footstep bounced back twice as loud. Torches hummed with faint magical energy, throwing shifting light across the polished floor. Caro

  • Broken by One, Desired by All    350~ Miles In Battle (II)

    Miles' Point Of ViewThe white-hot ringing in my ears drowned out even my own heartbeat, a piercing shriek that seemed to come from inside my skull rather than the battlefield around me. It felt like my mind had detached from my body, floating somewhere above the wreckage, watching a stranger kneel in the wasteland below. The smoke cleared slowly, drifting away in black, oily wisps across the crater floor. I knelt in the dirt, my skin split wide open like dry leather, raw white-and-black mana frying my internal channels. Every nerve in my body screamed in protest, a symphony of agony I'd grown almost numb to after everything I'd endured tonight.Blood… thick, dark crimson stuff, dripped off my chin, plinking onto the frozen ash between my boots, each drop a small, rhythmic reminder that I was still, somehow, alive. I remember thinking, absurdly, that I hadn't eaten anything in over a day, and that this was a strange thing to notice while dying by inches. "Look at him!" someone yelle

  • Broken by One, Desired by All    349~ Miles In Battle (I)

    Miles' Point Of ViewThe cold out here didn't just chill your skin - it felt like breathing in crushed glass, raw iron, and ash that burned every single time I dragged air into my lungs. Even after four months in this godsforsaken place, I never got used to it. Some nights I dreamed of warmth, of ordinary fires and ordinary rooms, and woke to find only this endless gray dark pressing against my eyes. Four months back. The borderlands. The void sitting right in the cracked gap between realms. I was crouching on the edge of a jagged obsidian cliff face, my knees pulled up to my chest, staring down into the abyss below. The darkness down there was crawling with motion. Thousands of Dark Sigen vanguard soldiers were gathering in tight formation, their pitch-black obsidian armor reflecting the harsh crimson glow of their containment runes. Weapons clanking, heavy iron boots stomping, magic circles humming - they were gearing up for a full-scale, calamity-level surprise invasion. They wa

  • Broken by One, Desired by All    348~ You Better Be Standing Beside Him

    Miles' Point Of ViewWhen I finally looked at him, it felt like someone had driven a dagger straight between my ribs. Zane looked completely wrecked. His dark eyes were wide, filled with a mess of anger, betrayal, and a deep, agonizing confusion that he couldn't even hide. He was drowning in it… struggling under the weight of a choice he was too good, too soft-hearted to make on his own. Even now, even furious and frightened, there was no cruelty in his expression, only a raw, unguarded desperation that made my resolve waver more than I would ever admit. He loved me. I knew he did. I could feel it in the way his hand was trembling against my shoulder, in the frantic way he was searching my face for any sign that this was a joke, desperate for some crack in my mask he could pry open. I remembered every quiet moment that had led us here… stolen hours in the library with our knees pressed together under the table, his laugh echoing through empty training yards on evenings we should ha

  • Broken by One, Desired by All    347~ Don't Play Games With Me Miles

    Miles' Point Of View"Nobody at that dump could even hit my coat," I sneered, leaning back in my chair until the front two legs lifted off the dark wood floor. I twirled the silver spoon between my fingers, letting a cold, lazy smirk stretch across my mouth. "Seriously. You pay all those tuition fees for top-tier combat instructors, and half of them get winded just setting up a basic defense circle. Staying there another semester would've turned my brain into mush." "Miles." My father didn't shout. He didn't slam his cup on the table or yell at Doctor Vane to leave the room. He just said my name, his deep voice dropping into a quiet, heavy register that instantly cut through the room, silencing even the soft clink of silverware around us. Doctor Vane, who had been quietly cutting into his roast, set his knife down without a sound, as though he understood this was no longer a conversation he belonged to. The front legs of my chair hit the floor with a loud thud. He leaned across th

  • Broken by One, Desired by All    346~ Personal Business

    Miles' Point Of ViewThe ceramic tray hit the top marble step with a deafening CRASH. Porcelain shattered into a hundred flying shards. Hot tea splashed across the white stone, pooling around a mess of soggy leaves, but the woman didn't even flinch. She didn't look down. She didn't check her slippers. Nothing mattered to her except the boy standing at the bottom of the staircase. "Miles!" She was practically falling down the grand staircase, her long skirts bunched up in her hands, her hair coming completely loose from her pin. Each step seemed to cost her nothing… as if gravity itself had agreed to let her through unscathed, just this once. Somewhere behind her, a maid's tray clattered to the floor too, abandoned mid-stride, but no one so much as glanced at the mess. The whole house seemed to hold its breath along with her. "Hey… Mom, chill out…" Before I could even finish turning around, she hit me like a runaway carriage. Her arms wrapped around my neck so hard my throat almos

  • Broken by One, Desired by All    345~ You're Awake, Master

    The room smelled of rubbing alcohol, old leather, and copper… that unmistakable iron stench of blood that refused to scrub out of the stone floor no matter how many times the servants bleached it. The scent had settled into the very walls by now, a permanent resident that no amount of cleaning could evict. It was a massive chamber, but it felt like a prison. Dark velvet drapes, thick enough to block out every shred of sunlight, hung heavy over the arched glass windows, as though someone had wanted to seal the room away from the rest of the world entirely. The only light came from two faint rune-lamps flickering lazily in the corners, casting long, ugly shadows across the walls. A heavy oak desk on the far side sat piled high with half-burnt candles, empty glass vials of recovery salve, and dirty cloth wraps stained black at the centers… evidence of a vigil that had gone on far too long. Someone had once kept careful watch here, counting hours in melted wax and spent bandages, until

    Zane's Point Of ViewThe car rolled to a smooth stop at the entrance of Blackthorn Forest, and I pressed my face against the window, my breath fogging the glass as I took in the sight. The forest loomed ahead, a wall of towering trees with bark so dark it was almost black, their branches twisting l

The air was thick with the scent of lavender and something darker... anticipation, maybe, or dread. I stood in the center of the room, my body freshly showe
