Dedication
WARNING: Before I go ahead with my overly emotional ramble, please be forewarned . . .
This is the craziest one yet.
No, really. I don’t even know what the eff I just wrote lol!
Six years.
Six freaking years, one publishing house deal ended, an entire series revamp when I was finally free to tell this story the way it needed to be told . . . and here we are.
Soleria and Ianthen.
The largest book I’ve written in my entire career and one of the most complicated. All I can do is thank you all from my humble spot on my knees for sticking by me. For keeping the faith. For understanding why it took me this long to finally get back to the new characters/books in this unbelievably insane story. I don’t know what I ever did in my life to deserve fans like you, but THANK YOU!
There were moments I almost gave up. Moments where, while trying my best to rein in this abnormal AF plot, I didn’t know how I was going to pull it off.
It was your excitement that saw me through.
LOVE YOU ALL FOR LIFE,
N.
“I’m a god, and no female will make me fall to my knees.
No female will be the death of me.
Especially not a weak human one.”
–Ianthen, God of the Hunt.
“Ianthen, you can be so gods damned stupid that I don’t know what to do with you half of the time.”
–Nylicia, the Watcher of Destinies.
“I let my guard down. I let the Fates slip into and talk through me. I let them prophesize the death of a male I consider a brother. In doing so, I set the stage for the return of the Rashnakah—the six furies. Starting with Death, one of the most violent furies of them all. I have kept this secret, like I’ve kept so many others, because there’s already so many reasons for them to hate me. Too many things I am to blame for.”
–Cyake, God of Divination.
“When is my brother going to learn? He can’t hide anything from me.”
–Zexistr, God of Existence.
“Crimson will demand.
The wolf’s power will fall.
Pride captive to the whims of the soul.
Eon’s of fight will be reaped in one moon,
The prey foreordained will quell all that is
known and forever will be.
A river spilled,
Hunt will be hauled from his peak on the
night that she speaks.
In the shadow of Conquest, the willow weeps.
And when it is done, all laid barren,
he will come to the truth.
The thing that was once most important to
him will be the thing that destroy hims.
The ashes decide where the legends will rise,
Whispers of death left behind by the lies.”
Part 1:
Hunt
Prologue Part 1
13,982 years ago. The day now known as the Final Great Battle
- Etdir, the Chamber of Creation, Ixalir
ZEXISTR
M y Fort’em’s hand spreads open in front of Desian’s face. In that single instant, the male’s light green eyes roll back into his head and he collapses.
His skin, an identical color to his eyes, begins to darken within seconds.
Another of Vermylea’s males gone.
The God of Conquest dead, his powers now trapped in Renentr.
As he deserved. He was one of the main gods responsible for all the Aviraji’s successes.
Not that it will matter. She will find another to replace him within moments. There always seems to be males ready to sell their souls over to that female.
Cyake slowly lowers his hand to his side. When he turns to me, my jaw twitches at the sight of those burnished, light blue eyes.
“Fort’em. You should not be the one doing this. If you speak while exerting your will—”
“They will take over.” Cyake’s arm cuts through the air. “Hence why I do not speak, Fort’em.”
No. He simply commands using his mind. A task just as perilous. “You are exerting a tremendous amount of will, Cyake. It is a matter of time before the powers of Fate take over.”
“And yet it is better than you exerting your will with the power of Zerxis trapped inside you.”
He has a gods damned point. I am the end of all things waiting to happen. While others can begin the process, I alone have the final say. The day everything ceases to exist will be the day I command it to.
No. Not I. Zerxis. The greedy, malevolent, broken bastard inside me.
Clearly aware that he has made his point, Cyake jerks his head. The massive hall before us is scattered with bodies. Some killed by Cyake’s command, others by my hand.
Some of them were immortals of different species, and yet others were gods. Both I and Cyake possess the ability to kill a god without catastrophic consequences to the universe’s balance. Which is why I cannot believe the nerve of Maivera.
She sends males and females to the slaughter, knowing I will not let them live.
All to stop me.
To prevent me from saving the universe from this coup.
She is around here, somewhere. I sense her presence whispering through the air around me, a sweet, whispered lie that ghosts across my skin and tempts me.
As always.
I ignore the pull, the same one that had me convinced, once, that she was the one for me. If she is not, why is ignoring her as painful as ripping your own flesh?
Why do you still want her so much?
Grinding my teeth, I ignore all these thoughts. My mind is screaming at me she is the one. Despite her selfishness. Her wrongness.
Yet another feeling deep in my gut is insisting that is not true. A feeling the grows stronger as I stare before me. At the end of the hall is the shimmering quartz surface separating this realm from the Etdir.
The chamber of Creation.
My heart pounds like a war drum at that reminder and a single thought has me before the entrance.
My reflection stares back at me from the smooth surface. It has been millenia since I last allowed myself here. The informational safe house of our kind. Once, it was more than that. The power of Creation communicated with me through this place.
‘Tis why my mother and the Goddess of Emotions conspired to build it. To help a maddened child reconnect with that energy before I lost myself to the agony.
To Zerxis.
Unfortunately, I ended up there anyway.
Cyake appears next to me, the gold parts of his armor reflecting the prismatic light off the Etdir’s surface. He watches me raise my arm with those glowing blue eyes, expression filled with trepidation. “Everything about this predicament is tempting the precarious Fates.”
I dematerialize both my glove and the heavy armor, exposing my arm. “Forget them. Worry about Father.”
He curses under his breath. “Is this truly the only way? If he senses enough of you to gain even a modicum of coherence . . .”
Illion will take control once more, plunging us all into chaos. An entire universe back on course for its destruction.
The Illion never wanted any of this to exist. In his madness, he will warp what Creation and I made, until it is so misshapen that I lose control. In the universe that he will bring about, there is no room for Existence.
Th
ere is only room for Zerxis, the end of it all.
I am literally walking a thin line between saving all of this and destroying it. “We have no other choice. Ever since Knowledge disappeared as well, we have lost our omniscience. I tried finding another way to close the Kystms—”
“But without Knowledge, we are all the equivalent of clueless fledglings.” Cyake curses again, scanning over his shoulder.
We are still alone, surrounded by the opulence of the Aviraji’s realm and the death we wrought.
“You have mere moments in there. If I sense you losing yourself or becoming trapped, I am pulling you out. Regardless of consequences.”
I understand his concern, yet I must still remind him: “Cyake. Think of Ianthen. If the battle ends on Earth, Gaea will die.” Ianthen’s mother is the Goddess of Earth. She is the planet and the planet is she. When one dies, the other will die with it.
The battle must be locked in the dimension of the Baesams before it migrates back to Earth. It must.
Cyake curses a third time, his entire body vibrating with tension. “Fuck the gods! Fine. Fine. Just go. And be fucking careful!”
I turn away from him. A flick of my wrist and my hand goes right through the quartz stone. It reacts in the blink of an eye, morphing and collapsing around my arm. The symbols within flicker to life as it reads my energy signature, confirming my status as Existence.
Very few of us are powerful enough to be allowed in here.
Considering this chamber was once created specifically for me, I hold status above any and all.
The stone snaps back, releasing my wrist and sliding open right after.
I have made many mistakes throughout my existence here on the physical plane, some of which I am convinced have led to everything that is coming to pass.
Yet I am ready to abuse my powers, if I must, to set things back to right.
Starting with going into the chamber and finding the cipher that will collapse the Kystms.
