THE AUREUM TRIAL: BLOOD OATH
His lips moved, forming a spell I could not understand, and for a moment, the air shimmered, rippled, bent.
Then the world cracked.
A sharp, searing light—like the collision of lightning and fury—split through the space, and half the clearing went white. When it cleared, he was gone.
Or dead.
I didn’t know.
The others were not so lucky. One by one, they were cornered. Caught. Cut down or bound. Dragged away. Faces were blurred, distorted by smoke or memory or the void’s refusal to show me too much. But the fear… the fear was sharp. Primal. It bled through the memory and into me, into her, into whoever’s body I wore like an echo...And the world went dark.
