All Chapters of My Blood Wizard System : Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

CHAPTER 71The Hot Springs ContingentThe Mississippi was still burning when the sky tore open a second time.A perfect ring of violet fire bloomed above the river, smelling of cedar smoke, hot asphalt, and sweet tea gone feral.A matte-black 1970 Chevy pickup shot through the rift like a bullet, tires screaming, and slammed onto the levee hard enough to make the ground jump.The driver’s door kicked open with a boot.Remy Tsatoke stepped out.Tall, copper-skinned Caddo, long black braid swinging down his back, Lakeside Rams letterman jacket (crimson sleeves, white body, big red ram head snarling across the shoulders) hanging open over bare, scarred chest. A copper-wrapped baseball bat rested easy on one shoulder like it had grown there. Coyote shifter, trickster-blessed by Chulëkonsis himself, grinning like the world owed him money and he’d come to collect with interest.Right behind him, Celeste Valentina Morau Tsatoke rolled in on a blood-red skateboard that hovered an inch off the

CHAPTER 73The First Hand and The Last HandThe moment our feet crossed the chalk line, the world folded like a deck of cards being shuffled.One blink: pine forest and moonlight.Next blink: an endless starlit plain under a sky that had too many moons and not enough rules.In the center stood a single round table carved from the trunk of the World Tree (roots still growing through the legs, leaves whispering secrets in languages that died before humans had names).Four chairs were already occupied.Coyote (still in his zoot suit) lounged sideways in one, boots on the table, dealing cards that flickered between paper and living flame.Across from him sat a woman made of storm clouds and galaxies, eyes like colliding nebulae (Raven, older than stories, trickster of the North).To her left: an enormous serpent whose scales were every color that ever hurt to look at (Quetzalcoatl, the Feathered One, wearing a smile that tasted like sunrise).To the right: a figure wrapped head to toe in

Chapter 75 – They Say No One Dies From LoveDecember 14, 2030 – Aerie Academy, then XibalbaThey say no one dies from love.Well, I might just be the first.It starts with a week that is actually, infuriably normal.Classes. Office hours where freshmen cry because Rowan rewrote gravity again. Kayo teaching “Intro to Chaos” by turning the cafeteria into a zero-G rave. Nerida winning the void-skate championship while literally eating a black hole for style points. Remy and I sneaking off to the floating island every night just to breathe the same air and pretend the universe isn’t trying to kill us again.Seven whole days of ordinary married-student legend life.Then Thursday happens.I wake up and the bed is cold on his side.No note. No scent trail. No heartbeat in the pack bond.Just the faint smell of wet limestone and marigolds.The kind of flowers you leave for the dead.I’m in the council chamber in under thirty seconds, still in his T-shirt and panic.The others are

Chapter 77 – The Coma December 14, 2030 – 6:12 a.m. → December 21, 2030 – Blackbird-Coyote dorm infirmaryThe battle is over.Xibalba is ash and silence.But the war isn’t.Because she still won’t wake up.She’s lying in the bed the dorm grew for her: stormglass frame, coyote blankets, violet lightning crawling across the ceiling like it’s trying to hold her together. The crown is back where it belongs, spinning slow above her heart like a guilty lighthouse.She’s breathing.But her eyes are closed.Rowan’s voice is cracked glass.**Rowan:** “The contract is void. The crown is whole. But she paid the price with everything she had left. Her body’s here. Her soul… got caught in the backlash when the gates slammed shut. She’s in a coma. The crown is keeping her alive, but she’s… somewhere between.”I don’t hear the rest.I’m already on my knees beside the bed, her hand in mine.The rings touch.The crown flares once: warm, guilty, waiting.I can still feel her.Faint.Li

Chapter 79 Dreamwalker December 21, 2030 – The Space Between, guided by Caddo lore**My grandmother always said dreamwalking wasn’t magic.It was listening.Caddo lore calls it *Yasakni*—the path of the shadow-self, where coyotes run between worlds, carrying messages from the living to the lost.“You don’t force the veil,” she’d say, braids clinking like wind chimes. “You ask it politely. Then you run like hell when it answers.”I lie beside Celeste’s sleeping body, palm over her crown mark, and ask.The world flips—not into darkness, but into warm concrete under golden hour sun.Velocity Park.She’s there.Fourteen, twin pigtails flying, carving the bowl like she’s outrunning the world.I step onto the coping.The sky above us is bruised violet and coyote gold—our colors, woven from eight years of promises.She spots me.Stops dead.Board rolling slow to my foot.*Oh god, it’s him. Again. The coyote from the edge of every dream I’ve had since Hot Springs. But this feels… real. Too r
