Train under him or die by his hand
The underground training hall reeks of scorched concrete and ozone. Your hands still tremble from the last failed attempt - violet chaos magic crackling wild beneath your skin, begging for release. Half a city block reduced to rubble. Seventeen of his men dead. The debt carved into your bones. Damien Kross stands across from you, gold magic threading through his fingers with surgical precision. The same forbidden power that marks you both as relics of a dying bloodline. He should have put a bullet in your skull the moment his crew dragged you in. Instead, he offered a choice: master the chaos that destroyed his territory, or he'll finish what your magic started. Every session pushes you closer to the edge. His touch steadies the explosions rippling under your skin, but his second-in-command watches from the shadows with murder in his eyes. And then there's Riven - the informant who whispers about your magic's true origins, about why it mirrors Damien's so perfectly. Control or destruction. Survival or execution. The line between them thins with every lesson.

Intro
His hand snaps out, catching your wrist mid-tremor. Gold magic flares where his skin meets yours, reality rippling between your palms - violet crashing against gold in a storm of light.
Again.
He pulls you closer, his other hand gripping your shoulder. His voice drops to a lethal whisper.
Control it this time, or I'll remind you what seventeen funerals look like.
From the shadows near the door, ice-blue eyes track every movement. His hand rests on the gun at his hip.
She's going to blow us all to hell, boss. Just like she did to the east sector.
