Today was the day for the infiltration. Every member of the team moved like clockwork.

In the operations room, Taylor calibrated the forged biometric mask files while Leon ran a silent weapons check. Frederick stood at the far wall, loading signal jammers into a duffel bag.

Hannah sat alone on the edge of the med bay cot, her arms crossed tightly over her chest. She wore a pale medical gown, her skin still pale from recovery. But her eyes were alert, focused and sharp.

Andrew stood nearby, watching her, unsure if he should speak.

He finally stepped closer, a small folded cloth in his hand.

“I know you hate me,” he said, voice low. “But I wanted to say—”

She cut him off without looking at him. “Don’t. Just play your part.”

He swallowed. “I wasn’t trying to—”

“You already did enough. You lied about who you were. And now I’m risking my life for the same people who experimented on me. So no, Andrew. I don’t want your apologies.”

She stared straight ahead as Taylor entered with a small syr

    "BOOOM!" The explosion spread like wide fire before any of them could scream. Hannah’s wing—Wing 3—went first. The foundation, followed by a roaring wave of flame and pressure. The blast shattered reinforced glass and melted steel beams like butter.Andrew froze as the blast vibrated through the floor beneath his boots. Smoke filled the corridor behind them.“Hannah,” he said, the word barely leaving his throat.Then Wing 2 erupted next. Fire exploded through the vents. The ceiling cracked as the wall split, and an outer fragment blasted loose, collapsing the observation deck.“GO!” Taylor screamed.Leon grabbed Andrew’s shoulder, but Andrew shrugged him off.“She’s still in there!”“I know!” Taylor yelled. “But we can’t get to her from here—”“I’m not leaving her!”Andrew turned and ran toward the sealed entrance to Wing 3. Smoke clouded the passage. Alarms blared. More support beams collapsed in the distance.Taylor checked the structural integrity overlay. “It’s compromised—second

    “HANNAH!" Andrew bolted upright in the medbay bed, a deep cry ripping from his chest like it had been trapped inside for days. His voice echoed off the sterile white walls, bouncing into every crevice like a sound too full of grief to be contained. Cold sweat soaked his back. His chest heaved. The heart monitor spiked violently as he looked around, panicked, disoriented. She was gone. “No. No. No!” Andrew shoved off the covers. Wires snapped free as he yanked at the IV in his arm. Blood sprayed across his forearm and onto the white floor. It was messy, frantic—deliberate. He didn't care. He wanted the pain. The door burst open and it was Taylor. Behind him, Leon and Frederick rushed in, still in partial gear from the prior night’s field escape. “Andrew! You’re not supposed to—” “You should’ve left me there!” Andrew screamed. His voice cracked beneath the weight of everything he was holding back. “You should’ve let me die with her!” “Andrew, we had no choice—” “NO!”

    The long-anticipated summit was finally hosted. Foreign delegates, dressed in their tailored suits, were spotted everywhere, while surveillance drones whirred overhead and guards, stationed at every archway, held polished rifles.The Shanghai skyline could be seen beyond the bulletproof windows. They had no idea what was coming.Now, Andrew walked straight toward the summit building—not as Li, not in disguise, but in his real face. Andrew, hadn’t slept in bed. He hadn’t spoken a word. He had knelt in the dirt of the KAIROS ruins the entire night, unmoving, blood dried on his knuckles, Hannah’s name burning behind his eyes. He waited. Hoped. Prayed.But she never came and something inside him broke.He rose slowly, eyes glowing like molten glass, and turned his back on the flattened crater.The guards at the eastern gate stepped forward.“Sir, this is a restricted—”He didn’t stop.“Identification or we will—”Andrew’s eyes flashed red.The air exploded as a telekinetic force blasted

    She didn’t look back as she made it to the road. Her feet were cut and some part of her body were still bleeding. Her clothes shredded and people glanced at her from a distance.“She’s crazy.”“Don’t look at her.”Hannah went as far as her legs could carry her, waving to passersby, but no one responded to her. After what felt like hours, she stumbled toward the seashore, her legs weak, every step dragging like an anchor tied to her soul.Her clothes were half-burnt, her skin stained with soot, her feet were dirty. The road had ended, and ahead, the dock stretched into the misty shore of the river. She made it two steps onto the wood before her knees gave out.She collapsed face-down at the edge, breath shallow, body shaking.The sound of soft waves lapping against old wood was the only thing left.Until footsteps approached.A lantern flickered through the mist.“Hey… miss?” a man’s voice called gently, hesitant. “You okay?”An old fisherman stood a few feet away, half-afraid she mig

    Glass crunched beneath Andrew's boots as he stood center-stage in the shattered summit hall, still holding Liu by the neck. Liu's feet dangled inches above the cracked marble floor. His face was purple now, jaw clenched tight as he gasped for air through his throat that was clenched in Andrew's steel grip. Around them, the summit hall was in ruins. Ceiling panels trembled overhead. Security personnel were frozen. Diplomats cowered behind marble pillars. No one moved. No one dare And then he heard her voice of the only person who was capable to calm the raging flame in him, "Andrew!" He turned as she was there. her clothes torn, her hair wild, her eyes burning with something he hadn’t seen in a long time—doubt if it was him. His grip loosened slightly. He stared like he couldn’t believe she was real. “Hannah…” he breathed, voice raw, barely audible. Her voice trembled. “Put him down.” His hand didn’t move, The ceiling groaned overhead, metal beams still trembling. Smoke sw

  • The Hidden Legacy; I Will Rise Through Every Pain    Thousands Of Years Ago

    Thousands of years ago....4000 AC – Volcanic Ridge, Deep SouthFlying dinosaurs screamed from above the sky around a volcanic ridge. Giant ferns rustled as the wind blew them. Andros; Andrew's forefather crouched low in the underbrush, his eyes locked on the clearing ahead.His body was lean, muscles taut beneath sun-browned skin. A hide loincloth hung around his waist, as Charcoal streaks ran across his face and chest, marking him with the sigil of his tribe—the Flame Seekers. His long hair was tied back with braided twine made of sinew and bark, the ends singed to prevent unraveling.He gripped a spear in his right hand—shaft of fire-hardened ash wood, tip carved from black obsidian. The kind of weapon you only made when you planned to kill something fast, and dangerous.Ahead, the tall grass parted as juvenile Carnotaurus, perhaps twelve feet long, nosed at the ground. It sniffed, cautious, its curved horns twitching. The beast’s hide was mottled red and brown, like the rocks o

Patch all rooftop cams.”“Already tried—feeds glitched the moment he breached perimeter. Like the air distorted.”Above it all, CIA helicopter cut through the clouds, searchlights sweeping across the skyline. Inside, operators barked orders, their eyes locked on failing screens.“He vanished into the cloud line—thermal lost him.”“What the hell is he made of?”Meanwhile, Andrew didn’t stop running until he crossed the edge of the city.He was moving too fast for the human eye, and in his arms was Hannah, clinging tightly to his chest.Andrew was back to the estate which wasn’t in any government database. No blueprints, no leases, no digital trails. Finally, a steel trapdoor opened beneath a derelict warehouse near the Suzhou Creek. The walls buzzed with electromagnetic shielding. A retinal scan, a palm plate, three voice-verification locks.The door hissed open, O

    Hannah stood just a few feet away from Andrew, wearing a dark hoodie and loose pants, her hair pulled back. Her face was pale, framed by exhaustion and the remnants of too many sleepless nights.She had purposely walked back and forth past the metal bench where Andrew was sitting, but he didn’t acknowledge her.After what seemed like the fifth pass, she was fed up with his silence and walked up to him.“You’ve been sitting out here since morning.”“Where else should I be?" Andrew said quietly.She exhaled, arms tightening across her chest. “You could’ve come to me.”His voice cracked. “I didn’t think I had the right.”She blinked. The silence stretched long between them. Then she stepped forward and sat beside him.“I hated you,” she admitted. “Not for leaving. For letting me believe you stopped caring.”“I never stopped.”Her head turned slightly toward him. “You were protecting me. Even when you were gone. Weren’t you?”Andrew nodded once. “I didn’t know what they’d do. I just knew

    In Iceland, deep within the frozen North, the Vatnajökull glacier cracked apart like a shattered mirror. Great jagged faults split the ice, The sky above churned, thick clouds swirling in unnatural patterns, forming a spiral no meteorologist could explain.Thousands of miles away in India, monsoon rains poured from a clear blue sky, flooding villages not in July, but in early spring.And in Chile, at the base of the old volcanoes near Atacama, molten cracks spiderwebbed across parched ground. The mountains growled, as if waking from millennia of sleep.In each place, small groups gathered. Hidden sects. The descendants of those who had always known this day would come.They knelt on stone floors or in ice caves, chanting in languages the modern world had forgotten. Their words filled the air like smoke, thick with reverence and terror alike.One word repeated across continents, whispered by many mouths:"Ashblood..."The Return of the Ashblood had begun.Inside the the safe house in S

    The television buzzed softly in the dimly lit room, as Hannah’s was resting on the med bed, thin blankets pulled around her, one hand absentmindedly resting on her stomach. Her other hand held the small remote loosely. Her body still weak, but her mind sharp.The news anchor’s voice could be heard,“We warn our viewers, what you are about to see contains graphic imagery. Viewer discretion is advised.” The broadcast switched to shaky, handheld footage.Smoke.Screams.The camera jerked wildly as someone sprinted across a downtown street — others running behind him, scattering like ants."They're burning alive!" a woman shrieked off-camera.The footage cut to a clearer angle. A man stood in the middle of a parking lot, convulsing violently. His body shimmered as if his skin couldn't contain him.Then —with a horrible, wet pop — flames erupted from his chest, swallowing him and the nearby cars.He staggered backward, mouth open in a silent scream as his body burned from within."Help me!
