Blessed Bone Shards Novels & Stories

"The ring, Mom. The heavy silver one he always wore on his right hand. The one he told us was mother-of-pearl." Elana’s face completely drained of color. Her hands gripped the armrests of her wheelchair as the memory of that smooth, iridescent white stone flashed in her mind. She had held that hand a million times. "It wasn't shell," Jax choked out, a single, fresh tear escaping to track down his soot-stained cheek. "It was bone. Miller said Vane used the bones of the innocent to cloak his atrocities from the Goddess. Damon didn't get it from the clones because they didn't have souls. Vane gave it to him. Damon walked around for thirty years wearing a piece of bone carved from a true, slaugh

“We move slowly, deliberately. No rushing. Let them react to us instead of the other way around.” Bastion knelt near the edge of the rock, tracing the terrain with his fingers. “The shard is a tool, not just a weapon. Its pulse is responsive—it can detect Echo-Binder energy. Use it carefully. It will warn you of traps or presence, but it also reacts to fear. Keep your resolve steady.” I closed my eyes briefly, letting the warmth from the shard seep into my veins. The pulse synced with my heartbeat, a steady thrum that reminded me of the vault, of my mother’s echoes, of the choices I had made. My confidence returned in small increments.

“The shard, use it! It’s tied to the beast!” I fumbled with the pouch, my fingers trembling as I pulled out the obsidian shard. Its surface was hotter now, almost scalding, the red veins flaring with a hunger that made my skin crawl. I’d studied relics like this for years, piecing together their secrets in quiet libraries, but this was no dusty artifact.

It hit the left construct like an invisible battering ram, ripping the brass plating from its chest and exposing the glowing soul-gem within. At the exact same instant, Thalen vaulted off Zeyric’s back, soaring through the mist with lethal grace. His rapier flared with a blinding white current of precision-guided mana. Mid-air, Thalen reversed his grip and drove the point of his blade directly into the exposed gemstone. CRACK! The violet crystal shattered into a thousand glittering shards. The construct froze instantly, its internal hydraulics seizing as the trapped life-force erupted into the air in a radiant, purifying burst of pale white light that swept the steam away.

I can tell she wants out. "This is more important!" Jai-Blynn speaks up, rolling right over her. "She must lead us to the Isle, then we will have no use for her and the idiot waterlink can protect-" Shards of ice shaped like daggers come for him. Jai-Blynn sees them and tries dodging the danger, but the last shard hits him in his lower abdomen and he crumbles. There's blood because they are actual weapons, even though they melt away after reaching the ground. I have seen this moment happen before. On the ship sailing out of Carodia, I witnessed great power.

At the same time, Gideon and Pacino sprang into action, causing the three forces to clash and the glowing object to be tossed aside. As it landed, everyone could see it clearly. "A bone?" they exclaimed in surprise. They had anticipated discovering a rare treasure or a divine weapon, not a mere piece of bone. Upon closer inspection, it appeared to be a finger bone. It was as large as a palm and incomplete. It was evident that it couldn't belong to a human. It was clearly from a beast.

“You both will probably want to sit. This is going to be a strong and very focused spell. It’s probably gonna get a little wild.” Tiago and Leo exchanged a worried glance but followed her suggestion. It didn’t ease the tension Leo was feeling. I could sense both him and his wolf growing restless. My own fear simmered just below the surface, but I closed my eyes and breathed deeply to calm myself. Sinthy pulled out a small leather pouch closed with a drawstring. She lifted it so I could see it clearly. “These are Casting Bones, kind of like Fortune Stones.” The blank expression on my face must have shown more than I thought. Sinthy sighed. “Fortune stones? For telling the future?”

I could feel my belly ache; I could feel the bruise was already scarred on top but still wounded on the inside, so I hated weapons forged from a divine blessing; at least they were not deadly to me. Divine blessing, are usually objects blessed by angels, but are not always weapons, only five weapons were blessed by angels, the rest was made by humans, sometimes the divine blessing could be a tree planted by a child about to die, In this the angel could bless the tree to be a great and bright, or with beautiful and delicious fruits, or for it to grow for centuries, it was something simple, but if it is carved an arch of this tree he can easily kill a creature of the night, the arrows do not n

“The chalice bears the blood of the First Wolf. I obtained it during the failed ritual for the child-wolf.” Blind Mia emerges from the shadows of the dungeons. “That should suffice.” “The blood of the First Wolf. And the ashes of an immortal witch.” Seven reveals a leather pouch containing the ashes of Stella Dubois. Blind Mia smile contentedly. “You have done well, my child.” “The only thing that we´re missing is the soul of the First Vampire. He remains elusive to this day.” “I have no doubt that you will discover a way of bringing me his soul. Soon, we will be able to rewrite destiny. This time, I will not fail.”

They radiate happiness, a warmth that blooms in my chest and draws a joyful purr from Aria. “Liora,” Thorne says, voice deep and steady, cupping my cheek with a calloused hand. “The dagger is yours by blood and birthright. Forged under the first blood moon, blessed by the Goddess herself, it will guide you.” Elora steps closer, her touch gentle on my hair. “The Shadow Beast stirs, daughter—a curse of envy and betrayal. It twists kin into foes, whispers madness through the blood moon. Your Silver Blessing is its lure, but your true mate is its bane. His bond will anchor you, burn the shadow away. Trust him, Liora. Trust the love the Goddess has woven for you.”
