The Cost of the Vow: "The Price of Happiness" Shatters the Calm!

The party's over. After the joy and glamour of the wedding, Passage 15: The Price of Happiness delivers the brutal, high-stakes confrontation we've been waiting for. This chapter is a catastrophic, emotional rollercoaster that defines the point of no return for our heroes.

An Attack in the Dark

The tranquility of the Purgatory is violently shattered when Cornelius Graham and his forces launch a surprise attack on the most vulnerable place: the nursery. Suddenly, the children—the First Borns—are no longer just kids playing games; they are the first line of defense. Witness their extraordinary powers as they fight a tactical, desperate battle against overwhelming shadow and fire.

The Ultimate Sacrifice

Just as the adults rush to help, a devastating choice is forced upon one of our most troubled heroes. A moment of calculated cruelty by the antagonist leads to a horrific, accidental injury that breaks one hero's mind wide open, forcing a total transformation and the return of a long-lost identity. This single, shattering act ensures the conflict is now deeply, agonizingly personal.

The Chase Begins

The peace is lost, a precious prize has been stolen, and the ultimate price has been paid. With nothing left to do but retrieve what was taken and avenge the innocent, the most powerful Chimeras launch their counterattack. The Alpha and his strongest ally are now charging into the chaos, setting the stage for The Alpha's Pursuit!

Don't miss this pivotal, heart-wrenching passage. Prepare for tears, rage, and the start of the final war!
