Episode 193: The Fourth Seal Trembles
Ethan staggered, blood soaking his side as the pain blurred his vision.Veyra’s spear wound still burned, but it was more than a wound.Some part of him had broken free.The third seal was broken.And now.The fourth was stirring.They had an air of otherworldliness.The red moon hanging over us had begun to disappear, but the damage was done.The ground beneath Ethan’s feet throbbed, thin rivulets of black energy oozing out through the fractures.Even the world itself was replying to him now.And that meant something worse was coming.”Asha was already next to him, holding on to his arm, eyes shining with concern.“You’re still bleeding,” she said, voice taut. “We need to get out of here.”Before Ethan could respond.The ground below them exploded.The battlefield shattered.A vast chasm yawned open beneath them, uncoiling tendrils of black smoke that smelled of death and rot.There came a stirring in the dark.Something old.Something is waiting.Asha and Ethan flinched; the size of

Episode 194: The Shadow That Watches
The world was too quiet.Too still.Asha knelt next to Ethan, blood pooled beneath the wound, his breathing shallow, his pulse weak beneath her fingers. His body was cold, and his veins still ran dark from whatever had attempted to claim him.The crevices through which the hand had come were closed and sealed as if they had never existed.But Asha knew the truth.And then something had gone reaching for Ethan.And next time it wouldn’t miss.Kastiel stood a few feet away, arms crossed, watching the aftermath with disturbing glee.“Well,” he said, tilting his head. "That was dramatic."Asha shot him a glare. "Not. Now."Kastiel smirked but didn’t press.She looked back at Ethan, tightening her fingers around his wrist.“Ethan,” she said, whispering, voice urgent. "Wake up."Nothing.Then.The wind shifted.And the world changed.The battlefield, the blood, the bodies, the ruins.Vanished.Asha’s breath caught.She was no longer standing in the wreckage.She was somewhere else.A place

Episode 195: The Revenant Prince
When the fracture devoured them, the battlefield disappeared.No sky, no ground, no weight of the wind bearing down against them, just an endless void, a space caught between being and abolition.Asha had time only for panic before her feet found something hard.Not earth.Not stone.Something else.Something cold.She spun around, knife up, anticipating an attack.But there was nothing.Except Ethan, standing frozen next to her.His face was blank, those dark eyes trained on the horizon of nothingness stretching out before them.And Asha realized.This place wasn’t just empty.It was waiting.Then.A voice rippled through the space around them, low and ancient.“Do you know it, brother?”The void shuddered.And from the darkness came a throne.Asha's breath hitched.The throne was huge, carved from a material of black stone and bone, its shape jagged and unfinished like it had been broken into pieces, and this is how it had been assembled.It throbbed with slow, turbine energy, as th

Episode 196: The Beast That Shouldn’t Exist
Ethan was lingering above the battlefield, slowly exhaling breaths.His shadow still twisted, responding to something not seen, something unfinished.The Forgotten Prince was no more.Even more so than when they were sucked into the void entombed behind the wall of Ethan’s power.But the war wasn’t over.Not even close.Asha coughed, trying to prop herself up, her side still bleeding where the prince had struck.The instant she turned toward him, Ethan shadowed back up, curling in slightly, perhaps reprimanded by the sight of her pain.He was still here.Still himself.But just barely.Asha managed a smirk, though the pain pierced through her ribs. “That was insane.”Ethan exhaled, moving to help her to her feet. “You stepped in front of a goddamn blade.”“Yeah.” Asha winced. “Wouldn’t be the first time.”He shook his head and exhaled. His hand lingered over her wound for a heartbeat, dark energy still crackling around his fingers, but then he made a fist and withdrew.He didn’t trust

Episode 200: The Hollow King’s Last War
The world was breaking.Part of reality itself bent under the weight of Vaelros; the field on which this battle was fought was nothing more than an illusion.The sky mangled, bleeding light ranged between a dark squall and a hole of flame.Ethan and Asha felt the ground drop from under their feet.The past was present, and the war was eternal.And the Vaelros who waited there, behind the Fifth Seal, was a shadow no longer.He was real.He was here.And the first thing he did was he went on the attack.A War That Never Should Have Been FoughtVaelros was a living storm.Not charging descending.His meat twisted and expanded, massive clawed fingers extending toward Ethan with a frenzied kind of hunger.Ethan responded in no time.His shadow reared up, charged with some instinctive buffer.And once it had joined with Vaelros, it failed.And the force of it was enough to topple Ethan, his body skidding in spasms across the broken blacktop, his breath torn from his chest.Asha reacted inst

Episode 201: A King Without Chains
A Battle That Determines It AllEthan moved first.The moment the words fell from his lips, I am not yours,” his shadow exploded in a violent swell of black tendrils that coiled to Vaelros with merciless strength.The beast laughed."Good."Then he attacked.The battlefield no longer existed the moment their powers clashed.Very little time to react for Asha; that brightness cut through the air like a shockwave, curling raw lines of energy through the very fabric of reality. The earth fell away beneath them, and the heavens buckled inward.This wasn’t just a battle.It was a war between the past and the future.I was between a king and the beast that had once bowed before him.And only one would leave the ballroom alive.A War Beyond the Mortal RealmHe felt a rush of energy pent-up inside as the demons thundered onwards, and suddenly Vaelros was no longer Captain Vaelros but a manifestation of fury and rage personified.Ethan dodged, his body twisting in a blur of shadow and speed, b

Episode 202: The Usurper’s Gambit
Ethan’s shadow flared out, writhing like a creature of its own, wrapping around the heavy throne like it were trying to drag it backward.But it was too late.The masked figure just laughed, their golden eyes shining as the throne leaned toward them.Ethan felt it.A shift.A transfer of power.The weight of the throne, the echo of command, the very urgency that had once been his to shoulder.Someone else had a claim on it.Asha’s voice rang out through the air.“Ethan!”She saw it, too.The throne wasn’t the only thing moving.It was choosing.The masked figure rested a solitary hand on its surface.An energy pulse spread outward, bending the space surrounding them.And then.They turned to Ethan.And smiled.“You fought too hard to keep the past buried.”“But you forget power never goes away.”"It only changes hands."And then.They sat.King Falls, Pretender RisesThe instant they claimed the throne, the world recoiled.Which was not how Ethan had turned it down.Not like the emerg

Episode 203: The New Tyrant
The throne was gone.The battlefield was wreckage, but it wasn’t the desolation that made Ethan’s chest a hollow place.It was the absence.He had spent every moment of his life struggling with the past, against it, trying to only be defined by what he could make of himself and his family rather than that throne.And now, someone else was in possession of it.Now, the world was breaking in ways he couldn’t control.Ethan blew out, trying to keep his breaths even.But Asha noticed the tension in his shoulders.She felt it too.The shift in the air.The change in, really, the world itself.Whatever this masked ruler had done, it had not simply been to take the throne.They had redefined something basic.And now, the reckoning was at hand.Fast.A First Indication of the New OrderThe ground quivered.Not from a battle, not an attack, but from something deeper.Asha’s instincts screamed.She grabbed Ethan’s arm.“Move.”Before he could ask it, the ground opened beneath them.An enormous

Episode 204: The First War of the New King
The Rising StormThe wind was wrong.Not just heavy hostility.It contained something other than natural, something that made Asha’s skin prickle with unease.Standing with Ethan at the edge of the battlefield, she stared across the devastation of their greatest fight.But this was no victory here.Only loss.The throne was gone.Taken.And the world was already writhing under its new monarch.Ethan’s hands balled at his sides. His shadow, which he used to wield with ease, was still thrashing.Still smarting from being spurned by the throne that had once been his.Asha took a slow breath.“So,” she said, looking at him, willing to steady the weight at her chest. “Where do we start? ”Ethan didn’t respond right away.His eyes were fixed on the horizon.For the long walk back in the far distance past the shattered ruins, past the crumbling ashes of the old world.A new kingdom was forming.And it was spreading faster than they could contain it.The New King’s DomainThe sky was splittin

Episode 205: The War of Beasts and Kings
The battlefield ceased to be a desolation.It was a slaughterhouse.Asha’s boots skidded on the cracked earth, her blade shining as she plunged it into the chest of a monstrous soldier. The creature screeched, but it did not fall.It had no blood to spill.No flesh to break.It was a manifestation of the throne’s will, a life that was never meant to be extinguished.And it was multiplying.For each one she felled, two more crawled from their cracks, skeletal eyes fixated on her with unbowed faithfulness.Asha gritted her teeth.They were trapped.And Ethan.Ethan was fighting in another way.The Final Fighter: A King Without A Throne, A Fighter Without ChainsEthan had stopped using his shadow.The energy of the throne, his old throne, was throwing him out, and now the power of himself was turning against him.So instead he had been battling with his fists.With pure, relentless force.He slammed his heel into the earth, pushing himself forward, his body running faster than the though
