Blood Magic Dragon Age: Inquisition Novels & Stories

He pulled out a small, iridescent silver vial and smashed it directly against my chest. The glass shattered, and a viscous, emerald-green liquid exploded across my skin. The agony was instantaneous and absolute. It wasn’t just poison. It was a strong, ancient strain of wolf-bane. This brew used dark magic to target the Lycan bloodline directly. It felt like liquid fire was being poured into my veins, melting my muscles and scorching my very soul. I let go of his throat, collapsing backward as the world began to spin out of control.

he said, his voice the soft drone of a lecturer, "is built on a foundation of blood magic. But it's wrapped in a glamour. A holy masking spell. Like painting gold over rust." "Then we need something that eats gold," Emberlyn muttered. She added the nightshade. The solution turned from clear to deep crimson, then to black, then to a color that had no name - a darkness that seemed to absorb the light around it. "Now," she breathed, "the catalyst." She reached for a vial of her own blood. Emberlyn was human, unaffiliated, but her blood carried the particular resonance of someone who had spent too long in the presence of outcast magic. It was rich with adaptation. With survival.

As I fell into danger, Jake put up a fight, his limbs ripping. Despite being drenched in blood, he bolted toward me and pounded my attacker on the head. Blood spilled all over the concrete floor, either coming from Jake or the rogue. Anna let out a shriek. It was total mayhem. “Joey!” Anna shouted. Through the madness, a massive black wolf came charging from a distance with incredible speed. I knew that it was Joey, my aloof mate. It never crossed my mind that Joey had shared a mind link with Anna.

The catacombs went silent except for the possessed Darius's ragged breathing. "We understand," I said. "Do you?" Morgana pulled three small vials from her bag and held them up. "Each of you will take one ingredient. Aveline, you'll take the Moonblood flowers and infuse them with your Luna magic. Damon, you'll take the demon tears and infuse them with your Alpha power. Dominic, you'll take the phoenix ash and infuse it with your connection to fire and rebirth. Then, together, you'll form a triangle around Darius and channel everything through the mate bonds."

"While gruesome, blood magic taps into a deeper, more primal connection that can pierce through even the strongest wards against being found by conventional means. With your blood or the Lycan king's blood, we may be able to track Collins down that way, despite Eva's attempts to cloak their whereabouts." I reached into my bag again and pulled out a sacrifice dagger. It was sharp and freshly disinfected. "Which one of you will it be?" Dimitri stepped forward. "I'll do it." "No," Camille retorted. "I'll do it. You shouldn't be bleeding out when you only just got better." She held out her hand towards me, palm up and unflinching. Though her jaw was set firmly, I could see the slight tremble in

Glancing at the Destiny Dragon, he noted its incomplete fifth claw, appearing more like an illusion. "It seems unlikely for it to fully transform unless… I release the seal," Adrian muttered coldly. "Forbidden spell, Requiem Aeternam! Viridis Draco, activate!" With a resounding roar, Adrian's aura surged, his presence commanding. A shockwave obliterated the nearby Blood Specters, and their essence was consumed by the Destiny Dragon. As Adrian slashed out with the Chaos Blade, the air thrummed with energy. A dual-colored blade essence, half black and half white, materialized and swiftly spread, causing the blood-red space to quake. Wherever it passed, Blood Specters dissolved into mist.

The dragon's blood was gradually fusing with the blood in her body. In normal circumstances, different blood types could not be mixed together. Nevertheless, after Thea took the dragon’s blood, it merged with the blood tainted by the qilin’s blood. Her blood went through another mutation. The energy in her blood started to shift and become odd as well. At this moment, she could sense that the blood inside of her body contained an unfathomable power. If this power was fully unleashed, it could wipe out the entire world. “Thea.” A voice could be heard while Thea was concentrating on observing the state of her body.

Bacchus answered. “Why?” I asked again. “WHY?! YOU’RE ASKING WHY?! HE KILLED OUR BROTHERS! HE DESERVES TO DIE!” Pegasus shouted again. Bacchus just look at him and he shut up. I sighed. “Black Dragon just fought back. It was one versus many.” I quietly said. “It wasn’t his fault that your members are no match to him.” “Exactly. That’s why Boss is angry. He killed them all without being shot even once.” Bacchus bitterly answered.

Every time I tried to close my eyes, another link would break, another innocent life lost. I couldn’t bring myself to leave Ruby’s side. Somehow, my little princess is hanging on despite this dark magic flowing through her veins, but how much longer can she hang on? Archie had to drag me out of her room so we could have this fucking meeting. What’s there to meet about? My pack is dying and there’s nothing I can do. “What the fuck kind of magic is it?” Dare demands, looking like he’s ready to go to war. “Yaya said it’s blood magic. Some kind of potion, or poison, her brother created. But she doesn’t believe he would use this kind of magic willingly,” Archie says defensively.

Rain and I speak in unison, the rarity of our agreement underscoring the gravity of the moment. I draw my blade—the ceremonial dagger all dragons carry, forged in our own fire. Rain mirrors my movement, his identical weapon catching the light. In perfect synchronicity, we slice our left palms, deep enough that dragon blood wells immediately to the surface. Mine runs hot as magma, steaming slightly in the cool air of the hall. Rain's flows cooler, small ice crystals forming along its edges. We extend our bleeding hands over the chalice, allowing our mingled blood to pool in its depths. The moment the two types of dragon blood meet, the runes carved into the vessel's surface ignite with blue-w
