The King Of Warriors novel (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 5267

Another hour crawled past before Jared finally severed the last filament of energy and let his arms drop. Exhaustion crashed over him like surf; he nearly sank to his knees, yet the smile that curved his mouth was radiant.

Kishor burst forward. Inside the still-glimmering array a woman of balanced figure and fresh, delicate beauty opened her eyes. Though pallor lingered from the metamorphosis, the years had gifted her expression with a mature, gentle grace—yet Jared could still see the spirited girl named Alice.

“Alice...” Kishor's voice cracked as he reached out, afraid even his breath might scatter the vision.

“Kishor, it's really you,” she whispered, her smile shy and sweet, a flawless echo of the girl she had been.

“Yes, it's me, Alice...” Kishor could hold back no longer. He wrapped her in an unbreakable embrace, tears spilling as years of distance, hurt, and silence dissolved between their joined heartbeats. They clung to each other as though the decades themselves might be folded and mended by their arms.

Jared watched the reunited lovers weep against each other's shoulders, then slipped from the chamber quietly. They deserved this moment—and at last, a chance to begin again.

A day later, Alice's energy stabilized completely. Though her strength had fallen to the first tier of the Nascent Soul stage, smiles now lit her face so often that even the dim corridors seemed brighter.

Kishor's long-burdened heart finally lay unshackled. He and Alice were practically inseparable.

They arranged a small feast in Jared's honor. Lanternlight danced over polished wood as Alice lifted a cup of wine, bowed, and said, “Mr. Chance, we don't know what to say. You restored my body and, more importantly, healed two hearts. I will remember this kindness for as long as I live.”

Kishor, too, raised his glass. “Mr. Chance, you are our benefactor. Whatever you need in the future—no matter the fire or flood—you may count on me without hesitation.”
