SEALED FATE The Pull of Blood and Bond
Lysandra writhed quietly on the bed, pale and drenched in cold sweat. Her breaths came shallow and sharp, hands clutching at the silken sheets as if they could anchor her to consciousness. Her magical aura flickered erratically, crackling through the air like unstable lightning.Maika sat beside her, a cold compress in one hand, her brow creased with worry. Carl stood by the window, arms crossed, his eyes watching the door with a tension that couldn’t be masked.MAIKA (softly, to Lysandra):“He’s coming, child. Just hold on.”LYSANDRA (weakly, teeth gritted):“I-I can’t… It hurts… The child… wants him—Caveen…”Carl stepped forward, worry flickering through his usually stern features.CARL:“This has happened before, but not like this. Her aura’s tearing at itself—she’s too fragile.”Maika nodded grimly.MAIKA:“His blood’s resonance must be triggering something in the fetus. They’re bonded. The child needs its father near to stabilize its power.”Suddenly, the front doors burst open w
SEALED FATE "Fit of silk and thorn"
Silken gowns and jewelry boxes lay strewn across the floor. Celestine stood before the ornate vanity, seething. Her reflection showed the perfect noblewoman—beautiful, polished, poised—but behind her eyes raged a storm she could no longer contain.A young maid timidly stepped in, holding a folded set of letters.MAID:“M-Miss Celestine… your correspondence—”CELESTINE (snaps):“Do I look like I care for letters right now?!”The maid froze. Her hands trembled.Celestine turned swiftly, yanking the letters from the maid’s grip and hurling them to the floor.CELESTINE:“Get out! And learn to knock properly—you’re not trained like the Landon staff. Worthless!”The maid bowed quickly and fled, stifling tears.Celestine’s chest heaved with fury. She kicked the edge of her wardrobe, then stormed to the crystal bell pull near the door and yanked it violently.Moments later, Lady Jane Delacroix swept in, her expression composed but eyes alert.LADY JANE:“What is this fuss, Celestine? Throwing
SEALED FATE "Unwanted visitor"
Caveen was returning from the training yard, his coat slung over his shoulder, mind already occupied with the meeting tomorrow. The manor was quiet—too quiet—until a voice chimed behind him.CELESTINE:“Caveen.”He froze.Slowly, he turned to find Celestine at the end of the hallway, draped in a flowing nightgown far too elegant for someone merely “visiting.” She walked toward him with slow, confident steps, her hair cascading in perfect waves, eyes gleaming like silver daggers.CELESTINE:“Why do you keep avoiding me? The Council has made their decision. We could be… happy.”CAVEEN (flat):“This isn’t happiness. It’s a setup. An insult to everything I’ve built.”CELESTINE (faux innocence):“But I’ve always been meant for you, Caveen. I’m noble. Refined. Not… some stray witch hiding in your walls.”He took a step closer—his aura sharp.CAVEEN:“Don’t speak about her.”Her smile faltered, but not for long.CELESTINE:“I could give you a future worthy of the Landon name. Not some scanda
SEALED FATE "Unacceptable union"
The room pulsed with power. Ancient, suffocating, and absolute.Twelve council members were seated in a perfect circle beneath the silver crest of the old world order—its edges glowing faintly with magic. The center of the chamber was dim, shadowed, as if even light hesitated to dwell there.A man in silver-trimmed robes stood, holding a parchment in one hand. His eyes narrowed as he read the contents once more aloud.COUNCIL SCRIBE:"An official Marriage between Caveen of House Landon and Lysandra of the Moonwell has been declared. The ceremony is to follow within the cycle.”The words fell like blades into the chamber.A tremor of murmurs rose, heavy with concern, until a firm hand silenced them. Council Elder Verron—the oldest among them—stood.ELDER VERRON:“Unacceptable. This union is a threat to the balance we’ve tried so hard to maintain. Caveen is not merely an elite—he is the Nexus. A direct convergence of vampire, lycan, and witch blood. Now they plan to merge that with a di
SEALED FATE “Shadows of the Past”
The steady hum of high-frequency scanners echoed through the dimly lit laboratory buried beneath the Landon estate. Cold steel tables lined with ancient scrolls and digital monitors created a surreal fusion of magic and science. In the center, Cane Landon—Carl’s younger brother and the Landon bloodline’s scientific genius—adjusted his glasses as he reviewed the latest data.Maika stood beside him, arms crossed, her face calm but her aura pulsing with restrained tension.CANE:“I ran her name through the Council records. Seraphine Delacroix… born approximately eighteen years ago, abandoned at Saint Morwenna Hospital in the human realm. No records of her birth parents. Bloodline, unknown. Not even a magical residue left behind from whoever left her.”MAIKA (quietly):“A clean slate.”Cane nodded grimly.CANE:“Exactly. She was adopted weeks later by the Delacroix family—not out of charity, but because their daughter, Celestine, needed a playmate. The adoption was arranged through unoffi
SEALED FATE “The Blood That Shouldn’t Be”
Inside the cold, dimly lit chamber hidden beneath the old Landon manor, test tubes glowed faint red under blue arcane lights. Cane Landon—Carl’s younger brother, a scientist whose mind was as sharp as his claws—stood before a reinforced glass desk filled with ancient tomes and modern instruments. He tapped the vial labeled “AL-VB-01”—Alaric Vaelthorne’s blood sample.Maika stood behind him, arms folded, her golden eyes watchful as Cane inserted the sample into a crystalline centrifuge inscribed with sigils.CANE:“You’re sure this came from him?”MAIKA:“He pricked his own finger while speaking to me. The sample was sealed and delivered within the hour. No contamination.”The machine whirred, glowing runes spinning as the blood inside reacted to the spell-infused process. Cane leaned close, frowning as readings emerged on the glass panel.CANE (muttering):“Hematocrit ratio… elevated. Accelerated regeneration markers… confirmed. Sunlight tolerance markers… absent?”The device dinged.
