The Maker's Claim

last update Huling Na-update: 2025-07-15 19:17:01

The first night after Evangeline's departure, Iris watched Damien pace the conservatory like a caged wolf, his movements carrying the restless energy of someone fighting battles on multiple fronts. The dying garden whispered its pain around them, the once-vibrant sanctuary now filled with the sound of withering leaves and the acrid scent of supernatural corruption. But it was the change in Damien himself that truly terrified her.

"She's in my head," he said, his voice rough with strain. "I can feel her consciousness pressing against mine, testing the barriers I've built over the decades. Every moment of peace I've found, every choice I've made to resist the hunger, she's picking at them like scabs."

Through their bond, Iris could sense the turmoil raging within him. The vampire maker's influence was like a virus in his system, exploiting every moment of self-doubt and amplifying his darkest impulses. The careful balance Eleanor had helped him achieve over sixty years was crumbling, an

  • You Can Ask The Flowers   Evangeline's Return

    The first sign of her arrival was the sudden silence that fell over the garden like a shroud. Every plant, every flower, every blade of grass ceased its whispered communication in the same instant, as if the very air had become too thick to carry their voices. Iris felt the absence like a physical blow, the comforting chorus of botanical consciousness that had become her constant companion suddenly severed, leaving her standing in Eleanor's conservatory with nothing but the sound of her own heartbeat."She's here," Damien said, his voice carrying a weight of dread that made her blood run cold. Through their growing bond, she could feel his terror, raw and primal in a way that spoke of ancient traumas and carefully buried memories. "After all these years, she's finally come for me."The temperature in the conservatory plummeted so rapidly that Iris's breath began to mist, the supernatural cold seeping through the glass walls like liquid ice. The Genesis Bloom's luminous petals flickere

  • You Can Ask The Flowers   Growing Darkness

    The first sign of corruption appeared on a Tuesday morning in early April, when Iris found the midnight orchids weeping tears of black sap that burned like acid against her skin. The ethereal flowers that had sung her to sleep for months now emitted discordant wails that set her teeth on edge, their voices cracking with pain as something invisible ate away at their supernatural essence."It's not natural," she whispered, her hands trembling as she examined the withering petals. Through her connection to the garden's consciousness, she could feel the plant's agony, its desperate attempts to purge whatever poison was spreading through its delicate system. "Something is attacking them from within."Damien appeared at her side with the supernatural speed that still sometimes startled her, his immortal senses already cataloguing the wrongness that permeated the morning air. His face was drawn with concern, but beneath that, she sensed something darker. Recognition. The weight of ancient kn

  • You Can Ask The Flowers   The Memory Bloom

    The hidden chamber lay beneath the conservatory's main floor, accessed through a concealed panel that Eleanor had disguised as part of the heating system's maintenance access. Iris had discovered it purely by accident three weeks earlier, following the increasingly urgent whispers of a plant whose voice seemed to call from somewhere deep within the earth itself. Now, as she descended the narrow stone steps with Damien close behind her, she felt the weight of Eleanor's greatest secret pressing down upon them both.The air grew thick with supernatural energy as they moved deeper underground, the walls themselves seeming to pulse with a rhythm that matched the beating of her heart. Ancient symbols had been carved into the stone, their meanings lost to time but their power still tangible in the way they made her skin tingle with recognition. Eleanor had built this chamber not just as a hiding place, but as a sanctuary where the most dangerous of her experiments could be conducted away fro

  • You Can Ask The Flowers   Town Gossip

    The first whispers began at Hartwell's General Store on a Tuesday morning in late March, when Mrs. Dorothy Chen noticed that Iris Bloom had developed what she described to her husband as "an unnatural glow about her." The observation might have passed unremarked if not for the fact that young Tommy Morrison had sworn he'd seen lights dancing in the Thornwick greenhouse at three in the morning, and the widow Sarah Whitmore had been asking pointed questions about the old families' protective traditions.Iris became aware of the growing speculation when she ventured into town for supplies, her usual weekly trip to maintain the thin pretense of normalcy that kept the curious at bay. The moment she stepped through the general store's familiar bell-chimed entrance, she felt the weight of eyes upon her with an intensity that made her supernatural senses flare with warning."Miss Bloom," Mrs. Chen called out with the kind of artificial brightness that preceded an interrogation. "You're lookin

  • You Can Ask The Flowers   Spring's Promise

    The first signs of spring arrived with a violence that shocked them both. On a morning in mid-March, when the last of the winter snow still clung to the conservatory's glass ceiling, Iris woke to find the Genesis Bloom blazing with light so intense it hurt to look at directly. The ancient plant's consciousness was practically screaming across the supernatural network, its voice carrying a mixture of triumph and terror that made her blood race."Something's happening," she gasped, shaking Damien awake with hands that trembled with more than just residual sleep. "The garden... it's changing."Through their bond, she felt his instant alertness, his immortal senses sharpening as he processed the supernatural upheaval that was transforming their sanctuary. The eternal roses, which had remained stubbornly closed since New Year's Eve, were beginning to unfurl their petals with an audible whisper that carried across the morning air. The midnight orchids, silent for weeks, suddenly burst into
