Bloodmoon Rising Chapter 68: The young Mira
Everyone turned.Aldric's daughter stood at the northern edge of the clearing, her mother just behind her. The silver light did something new, it started pulling toward young Mira, almost like it had when the bond first began, but this time, it homed in on her, slow and subtle, like a compass needle finding north.She pressed both hands flat against her chest, just like she had back at the boundary."I can feel it," she said, eyes on the mark burning through my shirt. "I've felt... something, all evening. Thought it was the confluence ground. But it's not. It's in me. And it's... responding to….." She looked right at me. "To you."I edged closer.She stayed put."How long?" I asked."Since I got here. Since I crossed the boundary. But it's gotten louder these last ten minutes." She glanced at the silver light swirling around us. "Since the color changed."Her mother, older Mira, watched her with that strange look, some wild mess of pride and grief. You could see the weight of twenty y
Bloodmoon Rising Chapter 67: Silver
The vehicle rolled into the confluence territory and I caught the shift before I’d even gotten out. Silver everywhere. Where an hour ago the clearing had glowed with gold, now every shaft of light had turned, quiet, but deep, into silver. The whole place sat under it, like somebody swapped out the bulbs for something just as warm, but running on a different frequency. It was the same silver that’d shaded my own shoulder, the mark at its brightest, clearest edge.The first wolf stood dead-center in the clearing, exactly where Soren said it would be. It stood still and the silver light rose from the ground around it in slow, steady columns. Almost like the light itself was alive, breathing.Soren met me at the edge. He glanced at the wolf, then at me.“It started ten minutes after you texted,” he said. “No warning. The gold just, shifted.”“The seven packs?” I asked.“Old-growth on the eastern side,” he said. “Keran and Aldis are with Tomas and Vael. They’re talking. No panic.” He hesit
Bloodmoon Rising Chapter 66: Until tomorrow night
“Tell me everything,” I said. “Don’t leave out the part the network cut.”Mira glanced at the stack of pages in my hand. “It’s long.”“Summarize,” I told her. “We’ll read the rest on the way back.”She slid into a chair, finally still, for once, and folded her hands on the table. I’d seen enough Vanes do that to know it was a habit.“It goes like this,” she started. “Finishing the bond sets off a process. Three stages. First, the return. That’s finished, everything the bloodlines had suppressed wakes up again. That part’s done.” She paused. “Second, the consolidation. The mark settles into the new bloodline, permanently, through the transfer. Not just as a thing that comes and goes, but something that’s always there, in every descendant, every generation.”“So it’s forever,” Rhydian said.She nodded. “That’s the point. The choice isn’t just about who gets it now. It decides which family holds it for everyone who comes after.”“And the last stage?” I asked.“That depends on who gets th
Bloodmoon Rising Chapter 65: The Archive room
We pulled into Greycliff about forty minutes later.Zevran waited for us at the entrance. He didn’t need to say anything, his face told me things inside were still a mess. He fell in beside me as we headed in.“She’s still in the archive room,” he said. “I hear her moving around. She hasn’t come out since she went in.”“Anyone else in the hall?” Rhydian asked.“Two of my people at each end,” Zevran said. “That’s it. It’s been quiet since we cleared it this afternoon.”Inside, the corridor looked just like I’d left it, dim lamp oil, shiny waxed floors, that echo you only get with old stone. It was the kind of place trouble liked to settle in. The archive room was third on the left, warm light spilling out beneath the door.I knocked once and went in, no waiting.She stood at the far shelves, pulling a box down from up high, moving like she knew exactly what she was after. She heard us come in but didn’t startle, which told me plenty. She set the box down and faced us.She looked forty-
Bloodmoon Rising Chapter 64: Two Miras
“Zevran,” I called, cutting in before Rhydian could get the question out. “The woman at Greycliff. Tell me what she looks like.”He answered right away. “Older than I expected from the name. Maybe late forties. She came to the Elder hall entrance about an hour ago and asked for me, specifically. Said her name was Mira. She knew I’d been in contact with you, said she needed to reach you.”“How’d she know your name?” I asked.“She wouldn’t say. I asked her, she told me there wasn’t time to explain and I needed to call you.” He hesitated. “She’s not aggressive. She just… looks like someone who’s been traveling forever and is about to collapse, but she has something she needs to say before she runs out of time.”“Keep her there. Don’t let her leave. Don’t let anyone near her unless you know them yourself.”“Understood.” Then, “Kaelis, she overheard me call your name and told me to say she’s the Mira from the texts.”I went still.“The Mira from the texts,” I repeated, almost not believing
Bloodmoon Rising Chapter 63: She came faster
“She ran,” Malek said.“All the way,” Rhydian added.The woman at the edge of the territory just stood there, hands pressed to her chest, breathing sharp and hard. She was staring at the gold light like someone who’d been told to expect a miracle and found something stranger instead.I glanced at Aldric. He’d gone absolutely still, and for him, that was saying something. This was a man who always had a backup plan, always calculated every possible move. Now, he just stood there, quiet, staring at her, his daughter, with two decades of absence stretched between them, now shrunk to the width of a clearing.“Go to her,” I said.“She doesn’t know me,” he answered quietly.“She came here to find her father,” I said. “She knows enough. Go.”He started forward, and I let him pass, hanging back and watching. When he reached the line, the first wolf stepped aside. Aldric stopped in front of her.She looked up.From where I stood, I couldn’t make out his words. Didn’t matter, really. It was all
Bloodmoon Rising Chapter 21: Whatever just woke up
We ran.But not away from it. That’s what threw me, Rhydian said, “Run,” grabbed my arm, and off we went, but we didn’t head for the Greycliff boundary, didn’t dash south into the wild forest, didn’t escape in any direction at all. We ran parallel to the line, eastward, racing through old-growth tr
Bloodmoon Rising Chapter 9: What Rhydian knows
RHYDIAN She fell asleep right in the middle of talking. Those eyes locked on me, sharp and thinking hard, something about the Elder council, I think. Then her head drooped. She caught herself and kept talking like nothing happened. I stayed quiet. Malek did too, which honestly surprised me more
Bloodmoon Rising Chapter 7: Rhydian
I woke up warm. That’s what was wrong. Four days of fever and forest cold will strip out any idea of comfort. Warmth hit me before I knew where I was or how I got there. I just lay there and let my body notice it, let it sink in that something, anything, had changed. Opened my eyes. Fire, smal
Bloodmoon Rising Chapter 6: Dead fang
By the fourth morning, I finally made it over the ridge.That’s where the real old-growth began. It wasn’t just big trees, everything felt changed. The air pressed in heavy and unmoving, not empty but crowded, like stepping into a room full of people all holding their breath. Trees like nothing I’d
