Chapter Twenty-Two: "Echoes of Golden Fire"
The entire Hollow Guild trembled as Raizel returned — his aura changed, golden light trailing behind him like celestial flame.
Whispers spread through the ranks.
"He awakened a fourth aura…"
"The fire of legends…"
Raizel met with the Guild's High Commander, placing the Vein Crystal before him. "It no longer answers to the Fang," he said. "It's bound to me now."
The commander leaned forward, eyes narrowed. "You understand what this means?"
Raizel nodded. "He will come for me personally now."
A silence fell. Lyra entered, clutching a scroll soaked in blood.
"A village near the Riftlands was razed," she said. "They left a symbol — a flaming eye."
Raizel clenched his fists.
"He's taunting me."
