The Nameless Heir
Chapter 4: Queen of the Underworld
As Kael lay alone in bed, his eyes slowly closed, and he drifted into a deep sleep. Shadows crept in, pulling him under. They wrapped around him, embracing him like a blanket, holding him still.
He wasn’t falling—he was floating, weightless, as if gravity didn’t exist.
This darkness was different. It wasn’t the cold that bit at his skin in the slums. It wasn’t heavy or suffocating.
It was warm. It was soft.
Like being embraced.
Like someone was holding him.
Then, a voice flowed through the empty void. Gentle. Soothing.
"My sweet child... sleep."
And he did.
Kael woke to a warmth he had never felt before.
Not the kind that came from fire or sunlight—this was different. Softer. Safer.
