Bonded To The Alpha God of War
By blood remembered,
By bond unbroken,
By breath denied and breath reclaimed…

The ice beneath her feet groaned.
Let the heart that waits be called back.
Let the soul that lingers return to flesh.
The fire roared now… no longer silent, no longer contained. It climbed higher, brighter, pressing against the ceiling, its light so intense it erased all color but blue.
Iris’s hands clenched around the parchment as power rushed past her, through her, threatening to tear her voice from her lungs.
