Chapter 160:The prison beneath the crown

The roar echoed through the underground fortress again.The walls trembled violently.Dust rained from the ceiling as cracks spread across the ancient stone.Nova stood frozen.Every instinct screamed at her to run.But she couldn't.After weeks of searching...After dreams, visions, and unanswered questions...She had finally found Kieran.She wasn't leaving.Kieran took a step closer to the barrier separating them.His golden eyes burned with urgency."Nova!"His voice snapped her back to reality."You have to leave. Now!"She shook her head."No."His jaw tightened."This prison is collapsing.""Then I'll help you.""You can't.""I didn't come all this way just to turn around."Another violent tremor shook the chamber.A section of the ceiling collapsed several feet behind them.Stone exploded across the floor.Ava grabbed Nova's arm."He's right! We need to go!"Nova didn't move.Her gaze remained fixed on Kieran.For the first time, she could see him clearly.He was taller than sh

Chapter 161:The first seal

The crimson eyes remained motionless in the darkness.Watching.Waiting.One pair became two.Two became five.Then dozens.Nova's heartbeat thundered in her ears.She had faced dangerous wolves before.She had trained with the kingdom's finest warriors.But nothing had prepared her for this.The creatures didn't radiate ordinary power.They radiated hatred.Ancient.Patient.As if they had spent centuries waiting for this exact moment.Ava slowly drew her sword.Her voice was barely a whisper."Tell me we can defeat them."Kieran's gaze never left the tunnel."No."Ava swallowed."You're supposed to say yes.""I won't lie to you."The creatures began moving.Heavy footsteps echoed through the prison, each one sending small vibrations through the stone floor.Nova tightened her grip on the Blackthorn dagger.Her instincts screamed at her to run.Yet she remained where she was.She couldn't leave Kieran.Not now.Not after finding him.The mark on her wrist flared with silver light.It

Chapter 162:The keeper of the prison

Silence filled the chamber.No one moved.No one breathed.Nova's mind struggled to process the Shadow Fang's words.You were their lock.She looked at Kieran.His face had gone pale.Not with fear.With realization.Fragments of memories seemed to flash through his eyes, memories buried beneath centuries of imprisonment.His breathing grew uneven."I remember..."His voice was barely audible.The lead Shadow Fang smiled, revealing rows of razor-sharp teeth."Yes."Another memory surfaced.Kieran staggered backward as far as the chains allowed."I volunteered."Nova frowned."What?"He slowly looked at her."I wasn't sentenced to this prison."His golden eyes were filled with disbelief."I chose it."The words echoed through the chamber.Even the Shadow Fangs remained silent.Nova shook her head."No.""It wasn't supposed to happen like this."He closed his eyes, pressing a hand against his forehead as more memories returned."The kingdoms were dying."His voice became steadier."Ther

Chapter 163:The price of power

The crack in the barrier widened.A sharp, echoing sound rang through the chamber as another fracture spread across the shimmering wall of silver light.The Shadow Fangs fell silent.They simply watched.Waiting.Confident that time was on their side.Nova tightened her grip on the Blackthorn dagger.Her heart pounded so hard she could hear it over the rumbling fortress.She looked toward the second pillar.Unlike the first, this one stood much farther away, half-hidden behind fallen stone and ancient rubble.Its runes had almost completely faded.Only a faint silver glow remained.Kieran followed her gaze."The second seal controls the prison's foundation."Nova frowned."What happens if it fails?""The fortress collapses."Ava let out a slow breath."And if it collapses...""The seals break completely."Silence settled over the chamber.No one needed to explain what would happen after that.The Shadow Fangs would be free.Every one of them.Nova squared her shoulders."Then we don't

Chapter 164:The forgotten keeper

The Shadow Fang's roar echoed through the prison."Silence!"Its crimson eyes blazed with fury.For the first time since Nova had entered the Fallen Crown, the creature looked unsettled.Not confident.Not amused.Afraid.Nova immediately noticed the change.So did Kieran.A faint smile touched his lips."You remember now, don't you?" the Shadow Fang growled.Kieran ignored the creature.Instead, he turned his attention to Nova."There was another Keeper."Nova pushed herself upright with Ava's help.Her body still ached from restoring the second seal, but she forced herself to focus."Who?""I don't know."Nova blinked."You just said you remembered.""I remember that I wasn't alone."He pressed a hand against his temple."The memories are incomplete. It's like someone shattered them into pieces."The Shadow Fang laughed harshly."Not someone."Its grin returned."Us."The creature slowly paced before the barrier."We made sure you'd forget."Kieran's golden eyes hardened."You tampe

Chapter 165:Riders of the east

The ancient horn echoed a third time.Its deep, resonant call rolled through the mountains, shaking dust from the ceiling of the prison.The Shadow Fangs froze.Every crimson eye turned toward the surface.Their confidence had vanished.The lead Shadow Fang clenched its claws against the stone floor."No..."Its voice was low, almost disbelieving."They cannot still exist."Nova exchanged a quick glance with Kieran."You know who that is?"A flicker of hope appeared in his golden eyes."I have a suspicion.""What kind of suspicion?""The kind I prayed would be true."Another horn sounded.Closer now.This time, it was joined by the distant thunder of galloping horses.The sound echoed through the mountain like an approaching storm.The Shadow Fangs became restless.Several began pacing.Others snarled at the tunnel leading to the surface.They were afraid.Nova had seen enough of them to recognize the emotion.Whatever was coming...Even these ancient creatures didn't want to face it.

Chapter 166:Queen of the shadow

The chamber fell deathly silent.Even the clash of steel against claws seemed distant.Nova stared at Commander Elara."Lysandra is alive?"Elara nodded once."Yes."Kieran gripped his chains so tightly his knuckles turned white.His voice trembled for the first time since Nova had met him."Where is she?"A shadow crossed Elara's face."That answer is... complicated.""Then explain it."His words came sharper than intended.Centuries of hope and heartbreak had collided in a single moment.Elara didn't seem offended.She understood.She had waited centuries for this conversation too."The day the prison was attacked," she began, "your sister was taken from the second Keeper's circle."Kieran closed his eyes."I remember.""But they didn't kill her.""Why?"Elara hesitated."Because they couldn't."Nova frowned."What do you mean?""The Second Keeper's magic was different from yours."She looked toward the empty circle."Prince Kieran bound the prison.""Princess Lysandra bound the dar

Chapter 167:A legacy hidden in silver

Nova stared at the crescent moon pendant resting in Elara's palm.It suddenly felt heavier than before.Not because of its weight.Because of what it represented."Lysandra made it?"Her voice was barely above a whisper.Elara nodded slowly."I would recognize her work anywhere."She ran her thumb over the worn engraving on the back."The royal family often carried weapons, but Princess Lysandra preferred creating things."Nova frowned."Creating things?""Jewelry. Charms. Small enchanted keepsakes."A faint smile crossed Elara's face as old memories resurfaced."She believed even in times of war, people deserved something beautiful."Kieran lowered his head.A soft laugh escaped him."She used to complain that I never wore the gifts she made."His golden eyes grew distant."She'd chase me through the palace until I agreed."For a brief moment, the prison no longer felt like a battlefield.It felt like two siblings remembering happier days.Then the memory faded.Kieran's smile disapp

Chapter 168:The choice

The third seal pulsed with a soft silver light.It waited.Patient.Ancient.As though it had all the time in the world.Nova didn't.The chamber shook again as another section of the ceiling collapsed. The Guardians struggled to hold their line while the Shadow Fangs pressed forward with relentless fury.Commander Elara drove her spear through another creature before shouting, "Princess, the seal!"Nova's fingers tightened around the Blackthorn dagger.She looked at Kieran.He stood behind the barrier, his wrists still bound by glowing chains.His expression was calm.Too calm."You have to do it," he said quietly.She shook her head."No.""Nova—""I said no."Her voice echoed through the chamber.Kieran sighed."If the prison falls—""I know what happens.""Then why are you hesitating?""Because I'm not sacrificing you."His golden eyes softened."You wouldn't be sacrificing me.""Yes, I would."Tears filled her eyes."If I forget you... then everything we've shared disappears.""I

Chapter 169:The heart beneath the mountain

The heartbeat echoed through the mountain again.Boom.The sound wasn't merely heard.It was felt.The ancient stone trembled beneath everyone's feet.Dust drifted from the ceiling as cracks spread across the prison walls.Every Guardian stood perfectly still.Even the Shadow Fangs fell silent.Commander Elara's face lost all color."It can't be..."Nova looked between her and Kieran."What is it?"No one answered immediately.The heartbeat came again.Boom.This time, the silver crystals carried by the Guardians dimmed noticeably.Kieran slowly turned toward the darkness beneath the prison.His golden eyes were filled with disbelief."I remember that sound."Nova's breath caught."You do?"He nodded."But it isn't a memory.""What do you mean?"His voice was quiet."It's older than my memories."The lead Shadow Fang smiled."You've finally heard him."Commander Elara raised her spear."Do not speak his name."The creature laughed."As though refusing to say it changes anything."Anot
