The great hall had become a slaughterhouse. Steel rang against steel. Screams echoed off the high ceilings. Blood stained the black marble floor in dark, spreading pools. The silver banners that had been hung for the ceremony now hung torn and splattered. Caelan fought back to back with Lucien, the ceremonial sword in his hand feeling lighter than it should. The awakened royal blood surged through his veins, sharpening his reflexes and lending unnatural speed to every strike. He parried a Shadow Crown warrior’s blade and drove his own through the gap in the man’s armor, feeling the hot rush of blood on his hand.

Every instruction repeated the same warning. Restraint. Restraint. Restraint. Apparently the Cantari who had written this had learned the hard way. But the next section caught my attention even more. Hemokinesis often appears alongside a secondary affinity. I leaned closer to the page. Metal manipulation. I blinked. Metal? The explanation followed immediately. Blood contains iron. Those capable of manipulating blood frequently demonstrate a secondary ability to influence other iron-based materials. My thoughts raced. Metal. Weapons. Tools. My gaze drifted briefly toward the forge down the street.

In the ancient Moerr family castle, blood flowed freely. Dozens of bodies lay strewn about, their limbs twisted in unnatural positions. Among the carnage were remnants of Moerr family elders, Grandmasters of internal energy, and supreme grand martials. With no mercy for these accomplices of tyranny, Alexander unleashed his full might upon the once heavily fortified Moerr family castle. In less than 10 minutes, it transformed into a hellish landscape, a testament to the devastation wrought by the Lord of War's wrath.

Inside them, the silver-crested shields of the fallen vanguard were melting down, dissolving from symbols of royal tyranny into glowing, liquid streams of pure, incandescent white-hot metal. Beta Vance stood at the base of the primary anvil, his face slick with sweat and blackened by soot as he supervised the casting molds. He looked up, his golden eyes reflecting the brilliant glare of the liquid silver, and offered a deep, respectful bow that rippled through the nearby workers.

"I vow to stand with you, to challenge you when you need it, to support you always. To be your partner in all things—in strength and in weakness, in joy and in sorrow. To choose you, every day, from this moment until my last breath." Tyler's eyes are suspiciously bright. Elder Castellano produces two silver daggers from within his robes. They're ceremonial—ornate handles, sharp blades that gleam in the sunlight. "The blood bond," he intones. "Symbol of the permanent joining.

The scent of blood and gunpowder choked the air. Alessandro stood in the wreckage, chest rising hard, blood dripping down his arm. The third body slumped beside him. I stared at the gun in my hand. My fingers trembled. “He was going to—” “I know,” Alessandro said quietly. I turned to him — his face pale, eyes dark as night. “You’re bleeding.” “I’ve had worse.” “That’s not an answer.” He gave a grim half-smile. “You like those.” “Sit down,” I snapped.

"That signature," he whispered. "That’s... that’s impossible. That’s Alpha-Class Aether-Steel. The Emperor’s personal reserve." "It is," Tristan lied smoothly. "Or rather, it was.
