A Deep Blue Stone Atop A Dais 소설 & 이야기

A few minutes later, the ballroom lights dimmed once more, darker than before. The music slowly faded away as the host stepped back onto the stage, his smile filled with excitement. “And now,” he announced loudly, “the final item of the evening. And also our most special piece tonight.” The massive screens immediately lit up with the image of a stunning blue diamond necklace sparkling beneath the lights. Ocean Deep. The atmosphere in the ballroom changed instantly. Even guests who had looked relaxed earlier were now sitting upright with renewed interest.

I wish I had my wolf too, I would have enjoyed the rest of the night as well. “Well, then let’s head there, I’m sure everyone is there by now.” He says getting up and leading the way, he opens the door for me, and closes it when I’m out. *** The ceremony takes place under the full moon, the dais area is decorated with white stones around it, and between every stone, there is a yellow flower making it a pattern. There is a beautiful decorated fluffy area for them to sit In between the stones. It's just so beautiful it almost makes me cry.

How was she able to grow into a healthy, vital drakaina in a world designed to hunt and hurt her? “My Lovely Assistant, Kora, will demonstrate the vast innovation that this remarkable stone is providing for Luxandra and the world.” The Magician announces as Kora walks around holding the lights side by side, it is clear to see that the blue gem far outshines the other two, and produces a more stable, steady, and vibrant light.

I sat on the stool he’d placed in the center of the room. Across the hall, Dylan was leaning against a stone pillar. He had his arms crossed, his eyes moving between me and Ciaran with a worried look. He didn't like this. Neither did I. Mother Vane began to chant. It wasn’t a song; it was a rhythmic, guttural sound that came from deep within her. It seemed to suck the air right out of the room. She threw the obsidian crystals onto the floor around my feet. Usually, these stones were supposed to glow a soft, pale blue to show a wolf’s lineage.

The Great Stone was a massive slab of white quartz that sat at the highest point of the Citadel’s inner sanctum. It was the place where Alphas were crowned, where mates were bonded, and where, five years ago, Kael had shattered the world with a single sentence of rejection.

She just watched every one of his movements. Aurelian opened the box. And inside was a piece that carried weight far beyond its size. The necklace held a rare blue diamond at its center. The stone was deep and vivid, its color rich and intense, like the heart of a still ocean under moonlight. It reflected light in a way that was not loud, but powerful. It did not sparkle wildly. It glowed. The design around it was precise and refined, with smaller stones set carefully to enhance its presence without taking attention away from the center.
