Chapter 18 - The Soul’s Scar Only Heals with Blood

"*

The sky in Nymora was bleeding ashes.

Adam walked upon land immersed in gray shadows, the wind screaming his name, and the shadows whispered:

"You failed her... You failed her..."

Feelings of guilt began to consume him.

His grandmother was gone, no, she was killed. And he had been too slow to realize the truth.

Her final journal revealed to him that there was someone in the family... not as they seemed.

"Labobo, did you know?"

The small creature looked at him with tearful eyes, "I knew the truth was heavy, but I never imagined it would break your back."

Zira approached Adam, gazing at him with a look he had never seen before… A look from a woman who knows more than she says.

"Adam, there's something I haven't told you."

"What is it?"

"I… I saw your grandmother the day before she died, and she told me that your blood… is not like theirs."

"What do you mean?"

"You… are not her grandson."

Time froze.

His memory cracked.

The sound of an internal explosion shattered his head.

In flashes of panic, he saw images of a small child being abducted. Screams, rituals, and a mysterious figure stripping him of his original identity and placing him in his grandmother's house.

"You were a project..."

"You're not a love project, but a project for the salvation of her cursed world."

The shadows began to draw closer, manifesting into familiar faces.

His mother's face, his father's face, but with eyes of fire.

Zira held his hand: "Adam, don't trust me if I lose control. The shadows are beginning to play with me too…"

"Zira, I don't understand!"

"You weren't born, you were made."

Adam screamed from deep within, and everything burned.

\*\*

In a moment of madness...

He felt power exploding from within him.

His eyes began to glow, and every step he took burned the ground beneath him.

The shadows of Nymora froze. Even time itself stopped.

Labobo said in terror: "The sacred blood has awoken."

Adam, no longer Adam, raised his hand and said:

"I want the complete truth. No more lies."

Zira stepped away from him, her eyes turning into black glass. "Then, you'll enter the point of no return…"

\*\*

At that moment, Adam was no longer Adam.

He was a mixture of light and destruction.

Part of him wanted revenge, the other sought to find out who he truly was.

With this power, an inner voice spoke:

"You will be granted the truth, but at a price."
