Chapter 107: The Sovereign’s Veil
The Tide’s Crest camped on the jagged plateau, the rift altar’s runes was dim but it pulsed with ominous energy, casting violet shadows across the scorched stone.
Kelvin knelt by the fire, its flames were sparked by Xerion’s breath, his shoulder and leg wounds throbbed beneath bandages from the riftclaw and shadowdrake battles. The coded tablet’s warning flared up.....
"The Sovereign’s rift opens soon. Lirien prepares. The traitor’s name is hidden"
This burned in his mind, the Veil codex was heavy in his pack, its cryptic symbols was holding answers to the Sovereign and the Sanctum traitor was tied to Zack’s manipulation.
The cloaked figure’s fleeted shadow, its runes glowed before vanishing and it gnawed at him, urging the trio to hunt Cindy and end her schemes.
Xerion, the End-Tyrant, coiled nearby, his twenty-foot serpentine form a cascade of crimson and gold scales, scarred but radiant in the fire’s glow.
The Level 8 Legendary’s amber eyes scanned the shadows, his hiss sharp, sensing Cindy’s dark energy.
Their 82% sync ratio roared like a furnace in Kelvin’s chest, anchoring his focus. He pressed a hand to Xerion’s scales and their heat steadied his trembling fingers.
Lyra sat across the fire, her shadow-etched gauntlet was pulsing with Peaks’ dark runes, gloomstalker spores, labyrinth vine essence, griffon feathers, Fenheart obelisk runes, and riftwraith claws, its glow steady despite her wounds.
Salaris, her shadow-cloaked raptor, perched on a nearby rock, her iridescent feathers were blending with the darkness, her talons was gleaming with lethal precision.
Lyra’s arm and side wounds were bandaged, her face was filled with pain, but her green eyes burned with unspoken strength as she adjusted her bandage.
"Cindy is close," she said, with a sharp voice as her gauntlet flared. "We will stop her and the Sovereign."
