Chapter 131: A Dangerous Lead
The Doctor's Reckoning/Ameiry Savar
Jasmine was slipping through his fingers, and if he didn’t act soon, he feared there wouldn’t be anything left to save.That was why, despite everything in his gut screaming at him not to, he went to see Lorenzo.One last time.The meeting took place in a secluded café on the outskirts of the city.Lorenzo was already there when Joaquin arrived, sitting in a corner booth with his back to the wall.“You’re late,” Lorenzo said without looking up.“I’m here,” Joaquin replied, sliding into the seat across from him. “Let’s get this over with.”Lorenzo finally met his e

Chapter 132: Into the Lion’s Den
The Doctor's Reckoning/Ameiry Savar
Joaquin stood at the edge of the industrial district, his eyes fixed on the warehouse ahead. It loomed in the darkness like a predator — silent, waiting, dangerous. His gut twisted — Lorenzo’s warnings echoed in his mind — but he pushed them aside. He adjusted the strap of his bag, feeling the comforting weight of Miguel’s blessed knife inside. He was ready. For Jasmine and Serena, he had to be. Keeping to the shadows, Joaquin moved. He slipped through the chain-link fence with ease, his movements swift and silent. Every step brought him closer to the building’s entrance — and closer to danger. The main door was too obvious, too exposed. Instead, he found a side entrance — an old service door. He tested the handle. Locked. Of course. He didn’t have to worry. He placed his hand over the lock, and a surge of heat pulsed from his palm. The metal glowed faintly, and with no resistance, the lock clicked open.

Chapter 133: The Entity in the Dark
The Doctor's Reckoning/Ameiry Savar
The corridor stretched on, narrow and suffocating, as if the walls were slowly closing in. The flickering lights overhead cast long, distorted shadows that danced across the walls, and the further Joaquin moved, the heavier the air became. His breathing grew shallow, his skin prickling with the unmistakable sensation of being watched.At the end of the hall stood a door unlike any of the others — heavy, reinforced metal, covered in those same strange symbols that seemed to pulse faintly with an eerie light. Joaquin slowed, his instincts screaming at him to turn back. But he couldn’t. Jasmine’s soul was safe, but they weren’t out of danger yet — and something told him the real threat lay behind this door.He reached out and pressed his hand against it.The metal was ice-cold under his palm.The moment he pushed, the symbols flared bright, and the door slid open with a groaning hiss.Joaquin stepped inside.The temperature dropped instantly. A co

Chapter 134: Fighting for Survival
The Doctor's Reckoning/Ameiry Savar
The entity surged forward again, a blur of twisting shadows and searing malice. Joaquin barely had time to react, throwing himself to the side as the creature’s claws raked through the space where he’d stood just moments before. The cold bit into his skin, the unnatural chill of its presence making his breath come in ragged gasps.He hit the ground hard, rolling to his feet just as the creature attacked again. Its speed was overwhelming, its movements erratic and unpredictable. Joaquin slashed out with Miguel’s blessed knife, the blade flaring with golden light, but the entity twisted away, avoiding the strike with terrifying ease.I can’t keep this up, Joaquin thought, his muscles already burning from exertion. He was fast — faster than most — but the creature was faster. Stronger. And it wasn’t tiring.The fight had already pushed him past his limits. His arms ached, his legs felt like lead, and his vision was beginning to blur. Blood

Chapter 135: A Glimpse of Jasmine
The Doctor's Reckoning/Ameiry Savar
Joaquin slowly gained his consciousness. He knelt on the cold stone floor, his body screaming with pain and exhaustion. His vision blurred, his breaths came in ragged gasps, and the weight of his injuries pressed down on him like lead.But the fight wasn’t over—not yet.The air around him shifted. The room began to tremble, the walls rippling like water. The floor beneath him shuddered, and the strange symbols carved into the stone pulsed with a sick, twisted energy. It felt as though the warehouse itself was starting to fall apart, reality fraying at the edges.Then he heard it.Soft. Frightened. A voice that cut through the haze of pain and fatigue like a knife.“Joaquin…”His head snapped up, heart lurching. He knew that voice. He would know it anywhere.“Jasmine?”He forced himself to his feet, every muscle in his body protesting. The room twisted around him, the walls stretching and contracting as if they were alive.

Chapter 136: Breaking the Chains
The Doctor's Reckoning/Ameiry Savar
Joaquin’s mind raced, the weight of the moment crushing down on him as the warehouse trembled around them. The air grew heavier, the walls vibrating with a low, dangerous hum, and the symbols carved into the stone flared brighter, pulsing like a heartbeat. A sick, twisted heartbeat.But none of that mattered. All he could think about was his sister’s safety.Jasmine’s soul knelt on the cold ground, her light dim and flickering, her strength nearly gone. And those chains — those dark, writhing chains — were killing her.He had to break them."Joaquin..." Her voice was so soft, so scared. I

Chapter 137: The Rescue
The Doctor's Reckoning/Ameiry Savar
The last chain shattered with a sound like breaking glass, and the entire room exploded with light. Joaquin barely had time to shield his eyes before a surge of energy blasted outward, sending cracks spidering through the walls and floor. The symbols carved into the stone flared one final time — and then went dark.When the light faded, Jasmine collapsed into his arms.He caught her easily, his body aching from the fight but his grip steady. She was weightless and warm, her glow dim but steady against his chest. The chains were gone, the terrible magic that had bound her finally broken. But the toll it had taken on her was obvious — her form fli

Chapter 138: Escape and Aftermath
The Doctor's Reckoning/Ameiry Savar
The warehouse collapsed with a roar that shook the ground beneath Joaquin’s feet. He ran without looking back — there was no time. The air behind him was thick with heat and dust, and the sound of steel and concrete folding in on itself rose like a dying beast’s final wail.Every muscle in his body screamed. His lungs burned. Blood trickled down his face, his side, his arms — he could feel it everywhere, but he didn’t stop. He wouldn’t stop.Not with Jasmine in his arms.Her soul flickered against his chest like a fading ember, warm and soft but barely holding on. She felt weightless, fragile, and her glow dimmed more with every second.“Hold on,” he whispered, his voice raw and broken. “Just hold on a little longer.”The light ahead grew brighter. The exit was so close — just a few more steps — but the ground cracked beneath him. The warehouse shuddered violently one last time, and Joaquin dove forward as the earth behind him collap

Chapter 139: Recovery and Revelation
The Doctor's Reckoning/Ameiry Savar
Pain was the first thing Joaquin felt. A deep, bone-deep ache spread through his entire body, like he’d been trampled by a freight train. Breathing hurt. Moving hurt. Even thinking felt sluggish and heavy, like his brain was wading through mud.He forced his eyes open. The room was dim and blurry, the edges of his vision swimming until they slowly sharpened. The faint smell of antiseptic and something floral drifted in the air.He was in the hospital. Again.“About damn time.”The familiar voice snapped his attention to the figure slouched in the chair beside his bed. Serena. Her arms were crossed, her eyes red-rimmed but fierce as they fixed on him.“Hey…” Joaquin’s voice cracked, his throat dry and raspy.Her eyes narrowed. “Don’t you ‘hey’ me.”Before he could respond, she shot up from the chair and stood over him, her face a storm of fury and relief. “Do you have any idea what you put me through? Rick called me in the mid

Chapter 140: The Next Move
The Doctor's Reckoning/Ameiry Savar
Joaquin knew he should stay in that hospital bed. He could still feel the deep ache in his ribs, every breath a reminder that his body hadn’t quite forgiven him for what he’d put it through. But there was no time to rest—not when Jasmine’s life was still hanging by a thread.So when Serena finally drifted off in the chair beside his bed, her exhaustion overtaking her worry, Joaquin made his move.He swung his legs over the side of the bed slowly, biting back a grimace as the movement pulled at his injuries. His bare feet hit the cold floor, and for a moment, the room spun. But he gritted his teeth and pushed forward. He found his clothes folded on a chair—thankfully not hospital scrubs—and dressed with careful, deliberate movements. Every stretch of fabric across his battered body felt like fire.But he kept going.The hallway was quiet, the night shift keeping everything calm and slow. Joaquin kept his head down, walking with a steady pace t
