ㅤ Then, and 𝒐𝒏𝒍𝒚 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒏, they would move. ㅤㅤㅤㅤToward their purpose. ㅤㅤㅤㅤToward the goal. ㅤ @borethesecrets ㅤ

ㅤ Because once the pieces were back in place— ㅤ

ㅤ His gaze never wavered. “Now that I’ve returned… it’s time to regroup.” ㅤ

ㅤ “I need you to call 𝑡𝘩𝑒𝑚 back.” Each word struck with purpose, leaving no room for hesitation. “Gather them. Every one of 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒎.” ㅤ

ㅤ Even as Leonard struggled to wipe the blood, to steady his breath, Isaac continued—voice sharp, unwavering. ㅤ

ㅤ But Isaac didn’t wait for him to finish. ㅤ

ㅤ A simple command. No scolding. No sympathy. Just an expectation. ㅤ

ㅤ Then came the first words—immovable. “Fix yourself.” ㅤ

ㅤ Not with contempt, not even with coldness—just a quiet, calculating gaze that stripped Leonard bare. As if reading every fracture beneath the skin. ㅤ

ㅤ “Vulnera Sanentur.” The spell left his lips like an afterthought, healing Leonard slowly. After all, 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐧𝐨 𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞. @borethesecrets ㅤ

ㅤ He didn’t need broken tools. He needed results. Obedience. Precision. Success. No apologies. No excuses. ㅤ

ㅤ “If you fail again,” he said flatly, “there will be no next time.” ㅤ

ㅤ No kindness. No hesitation. ㅤ

ㅤ “We'll discuss your punishment later, Leonard.” His voice was void—neither wrathful nor cold. Just hollow. A black hole that devoured all tone, all meaning. ㅤ

ㅤ More missions. More tasks. More names to strike from the world. ㅤ

ㅤ That’s why Leonard still lived. Because Isaac had uses for him. ㅤ

ㅤ But even he knew—one man alone couldn’t run an empire of shadows. ㅤ
