The Celestial Heist Chapter 206: The Road to Recovery
The cavern was eerily silent as Kael, Naya, and the still-unconscious Arion made their way back through the winding tunnels, the fragment’s soft glow illuminating their path. The battle in the chamber had taken its toll on all of them, but the weight on Kael’s shoulders felt especially heavy. Arion’s near-loss had shaken him more deeply than he cared to admit, and the exhaustion from the relentless struggle against the Celestials was beginning to creep into his bones.Naya walked beside him, her hand resting gently on Arion’s arm as they supported him between them. Her face was pale, drawn tight with worry, but her eyes were filled with a quiet determination. She glanced at Kael, her voice soft but steady. "We did what we had to, Kael. We saved him. That’s what matters."Kael nodded, his gaze focused ahead as he navigated the rough terrain. "I know. But it doesn’t feel like a victory—not yet. The Celestials will be back, and we can’t afford to let our guard down. We were lucky this ti
The Celestial Heist Chapter 207: The Shelter of the Grove
The sun was low on the horizon as Kael and the others made their way toward the distant copse of trees. The exhaustion of their recent battles weighed heavily on them, each step a reminder of the toll the fight against the Celestials had taken. Yet, there was a quiet determination in the group as they moved forward, united by the common goal of finding a place to rest and regroup.Arion was still unconscious, his body limp as Korrin and Kael supported him between them. Despite his condition, there was a sense of peace on his face that hadn’t been there before, a sign that the darkness that had gripped him was finally fading. Kael clung to that hope, even as the weight of responsibility pressed down on him. He knew that they couldn’t afford to lose another member of their team, not when the battle ahead promised to be even fiercer.Naya walked slightly ahead of the group, her eyes scanning the landscape as they approached the grove. The trees stood tall and ancient, their thick trunks
The Celestial Heist Chapter 208: Stirring the Embers
The grove had grown quiet under the night sky, the fire’s gentle crackling the only sound breaking the silence. The Celestial Marauders sat around the flickering flames, their bodies weary but their spirits momentarily at peace. It was a rare reprieve from the relentless pursuit of the Celestials, and each member of the group took advantage of it in their own way.Vira, her soft light radiating a comforting glow, continued to hum her song, a tune filled with hope and resilience that seemed to ease the tension lingering in the air. Kael watched her for a moment, grateful for the calming effect her presence had on the group. He could feel the fatigue in his bones, but he knew they needed to stay vigilant, even in this sanctuary.Korrin stood at the edge of the grove, his wings folded back as he scanned the perimeter. His fiery aura had dimmed slightly as he kept watch, but his ever-watchful gaze was still sharp, ready to act if any threat appeared. He didn’t speak much, but Kael could s
The Celestial Heist Chapter 209: The Watcher’s Truth
The fire crackled softly as the group settled around it, their eyes flickering between the flames and their new companion, Idris. The Watcher’s presence cast an undeniable weight over the grove, his aura both calming and unsettling. Kael, ever the cautious leader, kept his sword within arm’s reach as he studied the ancient being. Though Idris had promised aid, Kael couldn’t shake the sense that the Watcher carried more secrets than answers.Vira’s light flared slightly as she sat by the fire, her gaze lingering on Idris. "You say you’re a Watcher of the realms," she said, breaking the silence. "But why reveal yourself now? Why not intervene earlier, before the Celestials caused so much damage?"Idris, his robes shifting like smoke in the firelight, regarded her with calm, glowing eyes. "We Watchers are bound by ancient oaths. Our role is not to interfere, but to observe. For millennia, we have watched over the balance, ensuring that no realm tilts too far into chaos or order. But what
The Celestial Heist Chapter 210: The Path Forward
The night passed slowly, the air thick with tension despite the quiet of the grove. The Celestial Marauders took turns keeping watch, their minds unable to fully rest after the revelations from Idris. Though the grove offered a temporary sanctuary, they all knew the peace would be short-lived. The threat of the Celestials loomed closer with every passing hour, and the journey to the Nexus of Worlds weighed heavily on them.Kael was the last to take watch, sitting by the fire as the first light of dawn crept over the horizon. His sword rested across his lap, and the fragment still pulsed softly in his hand, a reminder of the power they were safeguarding—and the responsibility that came with it. The quiet of the grove gave him space to think, but with that space came a flood of doubts.Could they really make it to the Nexus before the Celestials? Would Idris’s guidance be enough? And even if they reached the Nexus, would they be strong enough to stop the Celestials from reshaping the ba
The Celestial Heist Chapter 211: Clash at the Gateway
The wind howled through the jagged rocks as the Celestial Marauders faced down their enemies. The Celestials moved with fluid grace, their cloaked forms almost spectral as they fanned out across the uneven terrain, their eyes gleaming with the eerie light of their otherworldly power. There was an unnatural stillness in the air, the kind that came just before the storm broke.Kael tightened his grip on his sword, feeling the familiar surge of adrenaline coursing through his veins. The fragment in his hand pulsed with energy, its light steady but fragile in the face of the looming danger. He knew the Celestials wouldn’t allow them to pass without a fight, but this time, the stakes were higher than ever. The gateway behind the Celestials was the key to their journey to the Nexus, and if they failed to break through, the balance would slip further into chaos."Everyone, stay together," Kael said, his voice low but commanding. "We fight as one. Protect the fragments at all costs."The grou
The Celestial Heist Chapter 212: Into the Fractured Realm
The sensation of passing through the gateway was unlike anything Kael had ever experienced. One moment, he was surrounded by the roar of battle and the crackle of energy, his senses heightened and his muscles straining with every strike. The next, there was a sudden stillness—a vacuum of sound and feeling that made his skin prickle. It was as though the very air had shifted around him, disorienting him as they crossed the threshold.He could feel the fragments pulsing in his hand, guiding him forward through the swirling energy of the gateway. His vision blurred momentarily, the world around him twisting and warping as the fabric of reality itself seemed to bend. Then, with a sharp jolt, the sensation snapped, and Kael stumbled forward, landing on solid ground once more.The world he stepped into was… different.Kael blinked, his vision clearing as he took in his surroundings. The fractured realm stretched out before him—a place where time and space seemed to twist and break apart. Th
The Celestial Heist Chapter 213: The Nexus Awaits
The fractured realm seemed to pulse with life as the Celestial Marauders made their way toward the towering temple. Each step felt heavier than the last, as if the very air thickened the closer they came. Kael’s senses were on high alert, his grip tight on his sword, and his mind racing with the weight of their mission. This was it—the final stretch before the Nexus, where everything they had fought for would be decided.The temple ahead loomed large, its ancient walls cracked and worn by time, yet still emanating a powerful energy. It felt like the beating heart of the fractured realm, drawing them in with a strange, magnetic pull. The energy signatures that Lyra had been tracking glowed brightly now, like threads of light leading them directly to the Nexus. But something about the temple felt wrong—Kael couldn’t shake the sense that danger lurked just beyond the threshold."Stay close," Kael called back to the others, his voice steady but filled with tension. "We don’t know what’s w
