Blessed Bone Shards Novels & Stories

Leo asked, looking even more uneasy. Sinthy raised an eyebrow and shook the bag. “A collection. A very special collection. They’re all finger bones. One finger from a Master Shaman of Babylon, another was sliced from the hand of Judas Iscariot while he hung from the rope that killed him. Yet another came from the Celtic priest who first blessed the boulders of Stonehenge when it was finished, and the last one is from the Great Stranger himself. The original Wiccan who created the first spells and tapped into the energies of my kind use. His bones are ancient beyond measure and have turned almost like stone.”

He hugged her so hard she squeaked. Kael pulled me to my feet and crushed me to his chest. “You did it,” he whispered. “Not me,” I said, trembling. “She did it.” But the celebration didn’t last. The sky cracked. A sound like stone grinding on bone shook the earth. We turned to the Bone Tree. It was burning. From its core, a figure stepped out. Not the Seed. Not Hollowed. Something worse. It wore a crown of ash. Its body was stitched from shadows. Eyes like dying stars.

"I am the Shadow Knight. Once Kaelen Dawnblade. Bearer of the Soulstone. Enemy of the corrupt Council. Avenger of the murdered innocents. I claim these names and purposes. I reject oblivion's comfort." The amalgamation of memories retreated, its composite features displaying surprise. The bone song changed tenor, becoming less overwhelming demand and more respectful recognition. The darkness surrounding him thinned, revealing the ossuary's interior fully for the first time. At its centre grew a tree unlike any in the living world. Its trunk and branches consisted entirely of bones fused together, not constructed but somehow grown into this impossible configuration. Instead of leaves, small f

If Damon believes Jerry has it. Levin yells, "He doesn't," but I can tell he's unsure because his eyes dart to me. I hold the shard in my pocket, feeling as though it is alive due to its steady pulse. Levin is relying on a phony bloodstone, a witch's ploy to induce hallucinations in Damon's pack at the ritual site. It should buy time, save Mom, and possibly put an end to this war. However, the actual shard I possess is like a ticking time bomb.

Williams and James found me annoying, and they never thanked me for anything. I was touched, so I hugged him. I was smiling for the first time in a while. It was then that I bumped into Williams and James in the hallway. I had just completed the surgical procedure for my miscarriage. So, Lucas was carefully helping me back to my ward. As we turned the corner, we ran into Williams and James who were supporting Leia. They were chatting and laughing away; this trio looked more like a family. I thought that I would feel incredibly hurt, but to my surprise, I only felt a faint ripple of emotion.

Pack’s pack, Tess—strike, guard! The bone shard’s hum intensified, the red runes flaring, the ground within the circle trembling, ash wraiths rising from the scorched earth, their forms coalescing into shadowy, clawed figures, their eyes glowing red, their snarls a guttural echo, the air crackling with dark magic, the vale’s wind howling louder, the frozen river’s ice cracking further, the cliffs’ runes pulsing faster, the shard’s call a deafening roar, the marrow god’s shadow stirring, the standing stones glowing, the vale a crucible for the pack’s fire, the battle for their legacy reaching its climax.

I say, before rereading the prophecy. When the flower of spring Eases the pain of night She will begin to heal He who is broken "Okay, that part makes sense. Although, similar to what GoldMoon told us, the word ‘broken’ isn’t exactly accurate. Dominic isn't broken, he was abused and scarred.” “It’s semantics, Princess, just like with the Blessing of the Ceryneian Hind, or as we now call it, The Gift of the Ceryneian Hind, Dominic is described as broken. Maybe the prophecy used that word because he can’t shift.”

The shard sat in my palm when my hand retracted. "Destroy it," I looked at Valen and threw it into the air. Valen released a purple electric ball that exploded the shard into cinders. Panic-stricken, Assad trembled in my left hand. At this point, he had no voice left to speak. Blayne would want me to make him bleed for days. The thought of my friend brought water to my eyes. A profound sadness threatened to swallow me whole. In the rise of the wind, a large burst of blue-green wave infused with sun-lit white in its crescendo splashed roughly against the shoreline to deliver a choking Kodjo and Tygart at my sand-caked feet before forming a diminuendo and ebbing back to sea.

Lysandra, gracefully weaving through the battlefield, whispered into the wind, "We must find the shard's resonance. Let it guide us." As the guardians battled on, Sasha felt a pull, a gentle tug at the core of her being. Holding the timepiece close, its glow began to resonate with a distant, shimmering light. "There!" she exclaimed, pointing towards a confluence of strands, where a radiant shard floated, held in place by the very fabric of the Nexus. Alec, fending off multiple apparitions with deft swordplay, shouted, "We must push through, together! That shard is our key."

Again the sound of barking dogs reaches my ears only louder as if the barking was coming from right above me. “HEEEEEELLLPPPP” I yell out with as much force as my now sore lungs can muster. “HEEEEELLLLLLLLLPPPPPP MMMEEE” i keep yelling with all i have praying that they find me and help me. Times passes and the barking has now stopped, the only thing I hear is silence, just as I had started to give up hope a small sound of what I think was steal hitting rocks echo’s around me then slowly I start to see sparks of light until it blinds me.
