Instructor Calder's gaze swept across the assembled students like a blade testing for soft spots.73Please respect copyright.PENANAMmL6zuvxHv
73Please respect copyright.PENANAZFygIYyHMI
"Most of you received your first blessing weeks ago. Maybe months." His scarred arms remained crossed. "You've had time to feel strong. To imagine yourselves as heroes."73Please respect copyright.PENANAHSHnREhOcY
73Please respect copyright.PENANAbWyM692vyM
He let the words hang.73Please respect copyright.PENANAnW1FQmmZJs
73Please respect copyright.PENANARnxeB51Clu
"You're not."73Please respect copyright.PENANAW3smBHBXEP
73Please respect copyright.PENANAFhlpKcy5cL
The declaration landed with the force of a physical blow. Several students straightened defensively. Others shifted their weight, uncertainty flickering across their faces.73Please respect copyright.PENANAlD1mo7IgdY
73Please respect copyright.PENANA8eOkO7cwEU
"Strength isn't granted. It's earned. The gods gave you a foundation - a body that can become something more than human. But that's all it is. A foundation."73Please respect copyright.PENANAzAjnDM3t2H
73Please respect copyright.PENANAq15zXjLdwS
He uncrossed his arms and gestured toward the training grounds around them.73Please respect copyright.PENANA4teNIbLYIE
73Please respect copyright.PENANAiNwS9h6BR0
"Every morning, you'll be here before dawn. Running. Lifting. Pushing your bodies until they break and rebuild stronger. Some of you are thinking that's pointless - you're Chosen now, why waste time on mundane exercise?"73Please respect copyright.PENANAicUq6zGgbV
73Please respect copyright.PENANAYw70aA6r1D
His expression hardened.73Please respect copyright.PENANAb3lqXhNKqy
73Please respect copyright.PENANAp5McfHVfTj
"Because there is no ceiling to how strong a Chosen's body can become. A commoner can train their entire life and hit a wall. You won't. Your bodies will keep adapting, keep growing, keep pushing past limits that would cripple normal humans."73Please respect copyright.PENANAaMYlziCeQm
73Please respect copyright.PENANAzKFWswo0sY
Calder's hand dropped to his side.73Please respect copyright.PENANAtKnBGxvYAF
73Please respect copyright.PENANAkzu1tr1ygI
"And for those of you blessed with traits or authorities that enhance your physical capabilities - don't rely on them. Most enhancements boost your base strength. They multiply what's already there."73Please respect copyright.PENANAdLwskEenB3
73Please respect copyright.PENANA5FIoSG45E0
The words settled over Cel like cold water.73Please respect copyright.PENANAhuNEVj5p37
73Please respect copyright.PENANAr3VsudoOib
Lunar Vigor. Active only under moonlight. Variable intensity based on the moon's phase.73Please respect copyright.PENANA4zAYJWJNQ2
73Please respect copyright.PENANA8t4DvdEudw
He'd already felt its effect many times - that surge of energy that had made him faster, stronger. But he'd been working with the strength the Moon Goddess gave him when she forged his new body.73Please respect copyright.PENANA3zJag16aAF
73Please respect copyright.PENANAQsT2VK6lst
How strong was that foundation compared to other Chosen?73Please respect copyright.PENANATTdDdme5Hg
73Please respect copyright.PENANAvFvILMQ0ne
Cel's hand unconsciously closed into a fist, testing the strength there.73Please respect copyright.PENANAdqMIObhNPc
73Please respect copyright.PENANAIpNxszx4z7
"Imagine," Calder was saying, "that your enhancement doubles your power. Double nothing is still nothing. But double an already formidable foundation?" He smiled without warmth.73Please respect copyright.PENANA1a2YY1umGo
73Please respect copyright.PENANAjksiAKXlLO
"That's when you become worth the divine investment."73Please respect copyright.PENANAbHO18vwDXd
73Please respect copyright.PENANAq0CY19WlKT
Around Cel, several students had gone pale. A boy near the front - one who'd carried himself with particular confidence during the ceremony - now looked like he'd swallowed something bitter.73Please respect copyright.PENANABw3uekwB3i
73Please respect copyright.PENANAWWNFwSMpAy
"After your theoretical classes each afternoon, you return here." His gaze swept the assembled students. "That's when we teach you to kill."73Please respect copyright.PENANAAnwqDiQ5vq
73Please respect copyright.PENANADJ0vehOgne
The word landed with deliberate weight.73Please respect copyright.PENANAnWa4y8CwPU
73Please respect copyright.PENANAsonJVKbf67
"Weapons training. Combat forms. How to use your traits and authorities in actual battle instead of fumbling with them like children. And you'll learn to control your Divine Energy properly."73Please respect copyright.PENANAxlcL5Z9aV9
73Please respect copyright.PENANAI52EGAp0kz
Cel's attention sharpened.73Please respect copyright.PENANA0tWv6pcBnG
73Please respect copyright.PENANAQJbO4AFbSA
Control Divine Energy. The fundamental skill every Chosen possessed naturally.73Please respect copyright.PENANARvFrWJkBcZ
73Please respect copyright.PENANAStxo8NxHuA
Except him.73Please respect copyright.PENANAE98F2Nunrk
73Please respect copyright.PENANAZdmksT6rf4
He'd need to fake the concentration, pretend he sensed something he couldn't perceive. And when someone inevitably noticed they couldn't sense his Divine Energy signature…73Please respect copyright.PENANARNwCaWCHGf
73Please respect copyright.PENANAJa7DGwSDwB
The Reckoning assumed it was because of an artifact. But that wouldn’t work now - he wasn't manifesting anything. A trait, then. Some aspect of his blessing that suppressed his signature. Rare enough to seem special, possible enough to be believable.73Please respect copyright.PENANAJjPuCXZNSA
73Please respect copyright.PENANAPDs76AyTlP
"Question." Calder’s voice cut through his thoughts. "What is Divine Energy?"73Please respect copyright.PENANAfTSIlW9dTI
73Please respect copyright.PENANAnI2jt7puMr
Hands rose. He pointed to a girl in the second row.73Please respect copyright.PENANAk2nIZEHpEu
73Please respect copyright.PENANAz929px11J1
"It's a gift from the gods. The power we need to activate our authorities."73Please respect copyright.PENANAZbCFN6hCD4
73Please respect copyright.PENANA3Vi2RH0t01
"Half right. Divine Energy is power granted by the gods, yes. But it's not just fuel for your abilities." Calder's tone shifted, taking on the cadence of someone explaining something fundamental. "It's a tool. A weapon. And like any weapon, it requires mastery."73Please respect copyright.PENANA5unDleTbNe
73Please respect copyright.PENANAG4FZ3EBGfK
He paused.73Please respect copyright.PENANAHrRGXUcWwL
73Please respect copyright.PENANAW8wK092jEN
"It's also a sense. Your sixth sense, if you want to think of it that way."73Please respect copyright.PENANAkR9LzRY3M1
73Please respect copyright.PENANAzDZymhCxgd
Cel went very still.73Please respect copyright.PENANAfzwMGFNDK6
73Please respect copyright.PENANATYhNHCSPHg
A sixth sense. Something every Chosen possessed naturally. Something that let them perceive and manipulate the energy flowing through them.73Please respect copyright.PENANAEOfDRNOoHR
73Please respect copyright.PENANAnRXnWuUCAe
Something he completely lacked.73Please respect copyright.PENANAaJu4Zc0IcB
73Please respect copyright.PENANAGtSdm6e7X6
Wait.73Please respect copyright.PENANAxU9O6exlI2
73Please respect copyright.PENANA9GwBnC3Mui
His mind cataloged the truth with clinical detachment. Sight, hearing, touch, smell - those he had. But taste? That had died in the cell, ground away by months of consuming rotting meat.73Please respect copyright.PENANAxMourzumdQ
73Please respect copyright.PENANAp1P4DeIcgb
Other Chosen had six senses. Normal humans had five. 73Please respect copyright.PENANAAOMBfKmuew
73Please respect copyright.PENANAzrGO854bM8
He had four.73Please respect copyright.PENANA553dwEnYv2
73Please respect copyright.PENANAqlxpWqy7z7
The absurdity of it would have been funny if it wasn't so completely fucked.73Please respect copyright.PENANAooGzJ5keAx
73Please respect copyright.PENANAWBgVANFn7n
"Let me demonstrate," Calder said.73Please respect copyright.PENANAu2PhoJHbnu
73Please respect copyright.PENANAAXaYEYzQMg
He closed his eyes.73Please respect copyright.PENANAliY5udVKLy
73Please respect copyright.PENANAQvkgCGXZ9K
The ground trembled - barely perceptible, like the earth itself had taken a breath.73Please respect copyright.PENANAda2k9ETgc7
73Please respect copyright.PENANAZZnKaUXi2U
Students around Cel gasped. Some stumbled backward. Others went rigid, eyes wide with something between awe and fear.73Please respect copyright.PENANArOx3wNH8L1
73Please respect copyright.PENANAI7hEunJAxu
A boy near Cel dropped to one knee, breathing hard. The girl beside him pressed both hands to her chest.73Please respect copyright.PENANA9mwUaotZJK
73Please respect copyright.PENANA3q1Ef6HR6L
Cel saw nothing.73Please respect copyright.PENANAkUFFQdatQl
73Please respect copyright.PENANAiADJwDfKHg
'This is going to be annoying.'73Please respect copyright.PENANAtjzmxxVfIV
73Please respect copyright.PENANAi5ZD4EeXvr
Calder opened his eyes again and the pressure - whatever it had been - vanished.73Please respect copyright.PENANA49fJgxIcoZ
73Please respect copyright.PENANAyyUep519AL
"That was my raw Divine Energy." He gestured broadly. "With training, you'll learn to sense it in others. More importantly, you'll learn to sense corrupted essence."73Please respect copyright.PENANAZYwFUGDq2m
73Please respect copyright.PENANACbaAbD65x4
His expression hardened.73Please respect copyright.PENANAQhJgXZBuN0
73Please respect copyright.PENANA5W1sFvnbHl
"Rift-creatures carry corruption in their very being. Most humans can feel it as wrongness. But if you refine your sixth sense, you can classify a creature by its presence alone. Know its blight level before you see it."73Please respect copyright.PENANADi6qDnq1w8
73Please respect copyright.PENANAhpUdhaHkqT
A hand rose.73Please respect copyright.PENANAfNp2sSZzl9
73Please respect copyright.PENANAZeLrcTMckt
"Couldn't we just use the Ledger of Nightmares?"73Please respect copyright.PENANAneJVAWeRFi
73Please respect copyright.PENANAOjezkCcswt
Confusion rippled through the group. Several students exchanged questioning looks.73Please respect copyright.PENANAzimyA4zwMa
73Please respect copyright.PENANAoRe3ZnAy7O
Calder's expression shifted - something that might have been approval.73Please respect copyright.PENANA6YBWC4fzJ3
73Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9X7nmtS1d
"The Ledger is a valuable tool. Instructor Saren will cover it in detail during your theoretical classes." He paused. "But the Ledger requires time. You need to observe the creature, consult the entry, read the information. In combat, you rarely have that luxury."73Please respect copyright.PENANACDIhBUZfMx
73Please respect copyright.PENANAni2heRvLAD
The mention of the Ledger pulled at Cel's attention.73Please respect copyright.PENANAG5xd990Wvq
73Please respect copyright.PENANAMxwFITbXNT
He still needed to check it thoroughly. The entries from the Crystal Maze remained unread - the crystal-spined thing that he rode, the lake of nothingness that hunted him, and the fairy-like creature that killed him. Though why creatures from his trial appeared in a supposedly comprehensive bestiary of real encounters, he still didn't understand.73Please respect copyright.PENANALvbvSZXjhg
73Please respect copyright.PENANA4vCARtVZyO
And the creature Esrin had fought in the Ashlands. The massive thing that had erupted from the dead volcano. What blight did something like that carry?73Please respect copyright.PENANAilMDimRcDa
73Please respect copyright.PENANARXfFKbO1GY
The questions circled through his mind as Calder continued explaining the training regimen. 73Please respect copyright.PENANAsaX1qn7JVT
73Please respect copyright.PENANApxtgv5MijZ
A structured routine designed to transform blessed individuals into functional warriors.73Please respect copyright.PENANAUBllonh39A
73Please respect copyright.PENANAV6On6xlsSX
"Dismissed," Calder eventually said. "Dawn tomorrow. Don't be late."73Please respect copyright.PENANA824S2sCRLO
73Please respect copyright.PENANA6pNdjX8wF7
The students dispersed in clusters, conversations resuming as the weight of the instructor's presence lifted. Lior remained beside Cel, his expression distant as he processed the lecture.73Please respect copyright.PENANAhwed2jF7go
73Please respect copyright.PENANAipCJNLPUzr
They walked back in silence, the path to the dining hall filling with other students whose voices rose in animated discussion. By the time they reached the entrance, the buzz of energy was almost overwhelming - dozens of conversations competing in volume as students dissected the day's revelations. 73Please respect copyright.PENANAfu6Wa0A8OG
73Please respect copyright.PENANAOk9S2eenGz
Cel and Lior claimed their isolated table again. Food arrived within minutes - roasted meat, vegetables glazed in something that caught the light, fresh bread that released steam when torn open.73Please respect copyright.PENANAdnUuJZaag6
73Please respect copyright.PENANARan1misMc9
Lior took his first bite and went still.73Please respect copyright.PENANA0lqwoye304
73Please respect copyright.PENANAo05LkzohDr
His eyes widened. He chewed slowly, almost reverently, then swallowed and immediately reached for more.73Please respect copyright.PENANAHlMpZ02kms
73Please respect copyright.PENANAL5FKlaxOni
"This is incredible," he said, the words muffled around bread. "I've never—the seasoning alone must cost more than my family spends on food in a month."73Please respect copyright.PENANA6Xhh4yCHpQ
73Please respect copyright.PENANAwKjiMkAq9w
Cel cut into his own portion. The meat separated cleanly under his knife. He brought a piece to his mouth, chewed, swallowed.73Please respect copyright.PENANA3O2XBRgBjr
73Please respect copyright.PENANAkRhMVp0CiE
Nothing.73Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5oDvvG0uS
73Please respect copyright.PENANAsRCgtFoQRV
‘Four senses, huh?’73Please respect copyright.PENANAYpL6dqUw6M
73Please respect copyright.PENANAc7eG99MzEd
Lior had already finished his first serving and was eyeing the remaining dishes.73Please respect copyright.PENANAYqSKPrPBYq
73Please respect copyright.PENANAvxsGMAnaKv
"Do you think they feed us like this every day?" He reached for more vegetables, practically vibrating with barely contained delight. "The instructors said three meals daily, but I assumed it would be simple fare. Porridge and hard bread, maybe some—"73Please respect copyright.PENANApcMAXTJjbB
73Please respect copyright.PENANAyYKEXI4nyf
He caught himself, glancing at Cel's plate.73Please respect copyright.PENANADlg7LDhYTS
73Please respect copyright.PENANAQDDepPWUa8
"You're not eating much."73Please respect copyright.PENANAvibQfa5bxY
73Please respect copyright.PENANAs8xxncQV5y
"I'm eating."73Please respect copyright.PENANA4OK7zH5Oac
73Please respect copyright.PENANAasyvDrlEdB
"Right. Sorry." Lior returned his attention to his food with renewed focus.73Please respect copyright.PENANANQTlccwaFq
73Please respect copyright.PENANAic20A3ywv0
The minutes passed. Around them, conversations rose and fell. A group near the front dissolved into laughter over something. Two boys argued about which deities were superior, their voices rising until others told them to shut up.73Please respect copyright.PENANAaoVaSmbUC0
73Please respect copyright.PENANAB7Gyk4mnnb
Cel ate because his body needed fuel. Lior ate like someone storing memories against future hunger.73Please respect copyright.PENANA9Y9J92AXQT
73Please respect copyright.PENANAJSaxldBQDq
When the plates were empty, students began filtering out. Most headed back toward the classroom - the ones who'd kept their hands down earlier, now bound for extra lessons that would stretch into the evening.73Please respect copyright.PENANAAc9qjbTmBK
73Please respect copyright.PENANAuMR6cNbaOF
Lior watched them go, his expression troubled.73Please respect copyright.PENANASzgO4gRWXw
73Please respect copyright.PENANAbc85tV8LY0
"I should head to the classroom too." He glanced at Cel. "What will you do with your evening?"73Please respect copyright.PENANAP7zSMNuZU1
73Please respect copyright.PENANAcXRBIOovzX
"Read."73Please respect copyright.PENANA8fwHFq3fFP
73Please respect copyright.PENANAN2TaNw2kep
"I see." Lior's smile was brief and self-conscious. "I'll see you tomorrow, then."73Please respect copyright.PENANAwv5x5n5GPH
73Please respect copyright.PENANAdZGfcPJUFD
He left with the stream of other students, his posture carrying that particular tension of someone facing something difficult but necessary.73Please respect copyright.PENANAsdwxvdvftU
73Please respect copyright.PENANAOH2UTPvhoq
Cel remained seated as the dining hall emptied. When only a handful of them remained, he rose and made his way through the corridors.73Please respect copyright.PENANAmMbA4yZ4a8
73Please respect copyright.PENANAaUsoeRWOP8
The commoner dormitory was silent when he reached it. He unlocked his door, stepped inside, and closed it behind him with a soft click.73Please respect copyright.PENANAxrfDuWVYKD
73Please respect copyright.PENANAQxnWgw8XSA
The room looked exactly as he'd left it. Narrow bed. Empty desk. Wardrobe with the commoner clothes he'd worn in the city.73Please respect copyright.PENANA1NW4O0em07
73Please respect copyright.PENANA4KS7Ylsl97
Cel moved to the center of the space and reached for the bond.73Please respect copyright.PENANAtLHXY5bqd6
73Please respect copyright.PENANAvKBTEPNYJ0
Moonlight threaded through the air, weaving itself into solid form. The Ledger materialized - worn black leather, silver filigree catching the afternoon light filtering through his window. It hung suspended for a heartbeat before gravity remembered itself.73Please respect copyright.PENANAZsemqrwUlQ
73Please respect copyright.PENANARVmo3v8p5E
He caught it before it could fall, the leather cool against his palms.73Please respect copyright.PENANAXqsssXdlTE
73Please respect copyright.PENANASlUcJXjRGj
His fingers found the edge and opened to the first page.73Please respect copyright.PENANAXbbMC8WiDm
73Please respect copyright.PENANAM8tVy5YLFH
Ledger of Nightmares.73Please respect copyright.PENANAxsshsQIEu6
73Please respect copyright.PENANABTzu8QY5FZ
The title stared back at him in stark black ink.73Please respect copyright.PENANAQVCzU0Cfhi
73Please respect copyright.PENANA4Kb6ps5p6f
Cel's fingers found the page's edge and turned.73Please respect copyright.PENANANgG3bWSKSL
73Please respect copyright.PENANAu4DSRQYK8M
<Anathema: Endless Shambler>73Please respect copyright.PENANAq6C5VXeRvZ
73Please respect copyright.PENANAaOtR9jkV70
The sketch showed a skeletal figure, hunched and wrong. Crystal growths erupted from bone in chaotic patterns - through the skull, along the spine, bursting from joints in jagged formations that looked more like infection than armor.73Please respect copyright.PENANAJyrNKThmsf
73Please respect copyright.PENANAJgbRok2sbM
His eyes dropped to the text.73Please respect copyright.PENANAUb4htUnlJw

73Please respect copyright.PENANAI9bqxQuCXc
Cursed. The lowest classification of all ten.73Please respect copyright.PENANAhUXo5rWK4i
73Please respect copyright.PENANAH9pz1KBL7s
<Behavior: Operates in loose packs with others of its kind. No intelligence remains. Driven by hunger and the compulsion to spread its affliction. Movement is mechanical and persistent. Does not rest. Does not tire. Does not stop.>73Please respect copyright.PENANA1i1TXzMHQN

73Please respect copyright.PENANAOjmF5pEraE
Cel's hand tightened on the edge of the page. The sketch showed the truth clearly enough - those proportions, that basic structure beneath the crystal. They'd been human once.73Please respect copyright.PENANAk5YZgo7OF9
73Please respect copyright.PENANAEtk8tUrOJW
Caught by the maze. Transformed. Reduced to shambling husks that existed only to inflict the same fate on others.73Please respect copyright.PENANA8af7mCE30p
73Please respect copyright.PENANAgQ2yxs4D2A
He turned the page to the next entry - the mirror lake.73Please respect copyright.PENANApxW0NCtDHI
73Please respect copyright.PENANA2Pu5uNd98n
The next sketch was simpler this time. Solid black ink poured across the paper with only the faintest suggestion of ripples at its surface. Like looking down into still water at midnight.73Please respect copyright.PENANAv8nTXWDTqc

73Please respect copyright.PENANAS35l5vd1EQ
<Blight: Ruined>73Please respect copyright.PENANATIGMFt6mhm
73Please respect copyright.PENANAfGDA91JHYN
Ruined. Sixth tier. Higher than any other creature he had encountered in the Ashlands.73Please respect copyright.PENANAMxmHLk7kWY
73Please respect copyright.PENANAmNZ2O4jsc3
<Behavior: Responds to proximity and emotional disturbance. Expands territory following acts of violence or destruction within its mirror realm.>73Please respect copyright.PENANAGywPTop128
73Please respect copyright.PENANAyjZ6Z0TieJ
<Hunting Pattern: Lures prey by manifesting traumatic memories in liquid surface. Drags victims into its mirror realm populated by crystalline manifestations of their torments. Feeds on fear and despair.>73Please respect copyright.PENANA1bXKJqubzk
73Please respect copyright.PENANA7zZjdsI63x
Cel's eyes narrowed. 73Please respect copyright.PENANABQdMuJLLWb
73Please respect copyright.PENANAPMV35hOK0g
Feeds on fear and despair.73Please respect copyright.PENANAEXKM3Ttf9b
73Please respect copyright.PENANArhgnccn5kZ
Not hunger. Not territorial defense. The thing sustained itself on suffering - drawing prey close with their own worst memories, then trapping them in a realm built from trauma made solid.73Please respect copyright.PENANAPGuMFseaBY
73Please respect copyright.PENANA3nzfrcPYVB
He'd destroyed those reflections. Shattered every manifestation of his father, his family, the cultists, himself. If he hadn't - if he'd broken under the weight of their judgment instead - what would have happened? 73Please respect copyright.PENANAN3howJ3j5m
73Please respect copyright.PENANAdzezy4oyF0
A shudder ran through him. He turned the page before the thoughts could spiral.73Please respect copyright.PENANAFNEDWr1jMb
73Please respect copyright.PENANAU8wDXE2p5Z
The sketch showed a massive serpentine form, its thick body covered in dark hide between crystal formations that erupted from its spine in organized rows.73Please respect copyright.PENANAHBykJUUAkW
73Please respect copyright.PENANA49BP2KxD2q
Recognition struck immediately.73Please respect copyright.PENANAne2MlEXYSD
73Please respect copyright.PENANANHsP2TWKoP

73Please respect copyright.PENANAqc6Plfsjek
<Behavior: Ignores potential prey in favor of predetermined objectives. Movement ceases only when threatened. Defends itself by shedding crystals from its spine that detonate on contact.>73Please respect copyright.PENANAlTsHEBdTdD
73Please respect copyright.PENANAiqq1E8Fu7V
Cel stared at the words. He'd thought himself lucky when the creature carried him across the maze. Lucky it hadn't noticed him clinging to its back, lucky it hadn't decided to shake him off or crush him against the crystal formations.73Please respect copyright.PENANAnPjwojPJVs
73Please respect copyright.PENANAJkVmQmyfXd
But it hadn't been luck at all.73Please respect copyright.PENANAowkIZY1CO3
73Please respect copyright.PENANA9uujvpKnXf
The creature had simply deemed him irrelevant. An insect clinging to something far more important - whatever objective drove it through a realm of crystal and death with singular focus.73Please respect copyright.PENANAHCNDTlwttM

The gaps stared back at him like missing teeth. He'd ridden on its back for hours and learned nothing except that he wasn't worth acknowledging.73Please respect copyright.PENANAf81j8dnp97
73Please respect copyright.PENANAFX1pvJpgDC
His fingers hesitated at the page's edge.73Please respect copyright.PENANA1j3k90CeKz
73Please respect copyright.PENANACJBBIXPuU9
The next entry would be the creature that killed him. The one with translucent skin and violet light burning in its eye sockets. The thing that had impaled him on a crystal spike and watched him die with detached curiosity.73Please respect copyright.PENANA7yzUs0uSsx
73Please respect copyright.PENANARR33QxEvvc
His throat tightened. But the information was there. Waiting.73Please respect copyright.PENANA6IUtmTCjZE
