Chapter 64 - Episode 61 The Beast Beneath

THE DEVIL'S BRIDE

Episode 61: The Beast Beneath

By Rapwizzy Debaron

The ground beneath the Throne of Bones cracked.

A sound—low, guttural—rolled through the desolate field like thunder rumbling from the belly of the underworld.

Evelyn's eyes stayed locked on the horizon.

Lucien stepped beside her, his sword drawn, though the blade trembled slightly in his grip.

"She's waking it," he muttered.

"No," Evelyn said. "It chose to wake for me."

The Bones Collapse

Beneath their feet, the hill of bones began to shift. Skulls rolled down like pebbles. Ribs and femurs folded in on themselves, forming a massive, coiled spiral.

And then… from the center, a claw emerged.

It wasn't just any beast—it was Vrakul, the death-blooded Leviathan.

Once chained by Lucien's father. Now free.

It raised its horned head, its molten eyes locking on Evelyn.

The Pact

"Do you seek to rule me?" it hissed, its voice splitting the sky.

Evelyn didn't flinch.

"I seek no leash," she said. "Only your loyalty."

The beast's breath scorched the earth around her, but she stepped closer, unburned.

Lucien reached for her, but stopped.

Something divine—and terrifying—was happening.

"You wear the scent of Seraphhina…" Vrakul growled.

Evelyn smiled faintly. "And I carry her fury."

The beast paused.

Then bowed.

In the Court of Mirrors

Miles away, Lilora watched the vision unfold in her obsidian mirror.

"She bows beasts now?" she spat.

Her advisor, Lord Nethrin, trembled. "We cannot fight her strength, my Queen. We must strike her heart."

Lilora's lips curled into a cruel smile.

"Then we bleed her from the inside."

Lucien's Dilemma

That night, under a blackened sky, Lucien stood watching Evelyn sleep. The firelight flickered across her face—soft, calm, dangerous.

She was becoming something more than mortal.

Something terrifyingly beautiful.

And he—he was torn between pride and fear.

"Would you still love me," he whispered, "if I failed to stop you?"

From the shadows, Evelyn's voice replied—sleepy but sharp.

"You won't."
