Dino’s POV I had never opened those files in many years, not out of secrecy, but because they were covered with excessive blood. They sat on my individual server, and were kept, closed over three layers of clearance, any movement or conversation thereof being neither noticed nor recalled by anyone save the dead. I read them tonight, since the name of Drina was never to be forgotten, and because I felt that silence was beginning to be a crime. The screen was dimly lit in the dark office in which I poured myself a drink that I was not determined to take. The capital of Madrid was extending beyond the glass walls, breathing life, unaware of the ghosts breathing within my empire.

And when it woke, nothing — not duty, not blood, not even the Moon Goddess herself — would keep her from him.

A second later, a sickening, silent snap echoed through the magic of the room as Henderson’s body was cast into the corner like trash. "Oh, gods," Fiona choked out, her silver eyes flickering as the sheer violence of the vision threatened to break her concentration. She forced herself to hold the connection, watching as the remaining council member fell to his knees in terror while Malakai began barking orders to the heavy excavation crews waiting at the border. With a sudden, sharp splash, the water on the map turned a deep, bruised crimson, and the vision vanished, leaving only the stagnant, bleeding ink on the ancient vellum.

" Page by page, I turned through it. The crowd gradually fell silent. "In this house, every bite of food I ate, every piece of clothing I wore, had a clearly marked price." I closed the notebook and looked straight into Brian's eyes. "Dad taught me this since I was a kid. Fair exchange. No free lunch. "So, tell me. Why should I pay for his medical bills now? What does his illness have to do with me? Is this something I consumed?" Brian's face changed. He stammered. "Th…that's still our dad! He raised you! That kind of debt is greater than anything!"

Chapter 11: A Debt in Blood Pain pulsed through my skull, dragging me slowly back to consciousness. My head felt like it was wrapped in fog, each thought sluggish and disjointed. My body—limp and heavy, like something had drained all life from it—lay uncomfortably on cold, unforgiving stone. A damp, stagnant air filled the room, the pungent scent of mildew mixing with something metallic, like blood, so thick I could almost taste it.

I watched helplessly as blood poured from her wound, and I didn’t need to go to her to know she was dead before her body hit the ground. “No!” She was needed to perform the spell to transfer the power and life essence back into Atlas. I was on to Remus within seconds. “What is that saying about a woman scorned?” My claws extended before I pushed them into his chest, ripping his heart out and crushing it into my hands, relishing in the way the life went out of his eyes. “Well, nevermind. You’re dead.” His body made a loud thump as it fell to the floor, but he would not be given a second thought.

My hand forgets what she looked like halfway through and I’m left with something that’s almost her but not quite, something that makes my chest ache because it’s wrong and I can’t fix it no matter how many times I try. So I stopped trying. I set the charcoal down on the table beside me and rub my fingers together. The black dust smears across my skin, gets under my nails. It used to feel like progress, like I was making something. Now it just feels like evidence that I’m still here when I shouldn’t be. The room is so quiet it’s almost loud. The kind that sits on your chest and makes it hard to breathe, the kind that fills up all the space until there’s nothing left but you and your thoughts

“I am sorry.” “I understand. This is my first opportunity to call you, likewise,” she replied. “They are Mer.” “Are you sure?” His attention sharpened. “This is not like them.” But it did make sense, considering the involvement of the river in all the recent strife. All rivers emptied into the sea, and if the zombie virus had reached the Mer... “Fuck.”

As anticipated, it seems inconceivable that something as complex as the evolution of the flesh and blood could be so straightforward. I understood that this development wasn't as straightforward as it seemed, yet I misjudged the system nonetheless. If I wanted to obtain power in one step, I had to pay a high price. I'm paying this price right now as a result. Through my limbs and bones, the gushing energy resonated. My clothes immediately became scarlet from the blood, and I couldn't even stand still. Then, all of a sudden, the pain ceased, and the energy became soothing, gradually melting into the body bit by bit, slowly transforming all of my meridians.
