I placed my hand on his and felt the sparks through my body, I looked up at Aspen to see him smirking back at me.

At Raven's subtle gesture, Rein and Calder collapsed at our feet. I called forth my enchanted sword, gently resting its blade against Rein's throat. "The world may fear us sisters, but there are those who hold us dear: the High King of Heaven, the Whispering Witch, the Pomegranate Moon Witch...and Kael and Raven. Their presence keeps hope alive, holding back the tide of chaos. "However, as for you, you're about to wade through your very own maelstrom of chaos."

Cassandra Eddie exhales in annoyance as he tilts his head back and swings the door open all the way, gesturing for Crayvin and me to step in. With a nod, Crayvin steps in first and I follow him. Extending my hand out, I shake Amy's hand. When her hand slips into mine, her long sleeve rises just enough for me to see the small cuts that cross her wrist. My eyes roam over to her neck where her mahogany locks lay, acting as a shield to hide the discoloration of the bruises. I squint my eyes to look harder and my eyes draw the form of a hand with the bruises around her throat.

A holographic map of the island bloomed from the floor. "Your first challenge: The Sanguine Ascent," Franco announced, his eyes catching mine through the blue light of the hologram. "Tomorrow at dawn, you climb the Obsidian Ridge. The summit holds a beacon. To claim it is to win the first Sovereignty Credit. But you will wear bio – metric haptic bands. They will broadcast your heart rate, your stress, your fear to everyone else. If you break, they will use it to gut you." Brent scoffed, crossing his arms. "And the reward? Bragging rights?"

Mira gently held Damon's hands throughout the ritual to comfort him. Anamika prayed and did the ritual for his long life and as soon as the priest declared that ritual is done, Damon quickly got up and rushed away from there. He got away from everyone's eyes and sat on the garden bench on the other side of the castle and tried to hold back his tears. She came and he wasn't ready for this. He thought she would think logically but this time she didn't care about her life but his. Anamika came and saw him sitting on the chair alone while trying to hide his tears, she went to him and sat beside him.

I would die for you, Rhea. "Those are... our vows," Blaze whispered, his voice failing him. He reached out a trembling finger, touching a link that pulsed with a warm, amber light. The moment he touched it, he heard Ash’s voice in his head, clear and resonant: 'I give my life to the Mooncrest, and my soul to the girl who saved me.'

"But promise me that it will not be for long no matter what happens." "Agreed," Lance said, his muscular arms flexing under his shirt from the tension. Raven placed her hands on the side of Lance's head and chanted, "Rambshia carnsia irashia benach. Rambshia carnsia irashia benach. Rambshia carnsia irashia benach." The lights in the room suddenly dimmed, then went completely out, but came back on a moment later. Raven looked directly into Lance's eyes. "It is done." She took a deep breath. "I need a Bloodstone."

“But promise me that it will not be for long … no matter what happens.” “Agreed,” Lance said, his muscular arms flexing under his shirt from the tension. Raven placed her hands on the side of Lance’s head and chanted, “Rambshia carnsia irashia benach. Rambshia carnsia irashia benach. Rambshia carnsia irashia benach.” The lights in the room suddenly dimmed, then went completely out, but came back on a moment later.

Unblinking. “Step forward.”

Even Athena had gotten her clothes changed by Elira or Flora and is in a pretty light purple dress with a matching headband. “Blake,” I laugh, as he insists on taking Athena and giving me a blindfold on. “What are you doing?” He just hushes me, leading me forward in the backyard.
