Elder Thorne’s voice rang clear. “The Sixth Heir was never meant to ascend. That bloodline was erased for a reason.” “Because you feared it,” Rowan shot back. “Because it was cursed,” Thorne corrected. “Blood of Eclipsa flows in you. And now it flows in her.” Ava turned sharply. “What do you mean now it flows in me?” A younger Elder—a woman named Maedra—stepped forward, her face pale. “Because the flame doesn’t just consume. It bonds. And in the ritual circle… when he touched you… you were marked.”

Her Shadowwalkers swarm, claws gleaming, and the gates tremble, the relic’s hum a thunderous roar. Before I can strike, the fortress’s core pulses, and a figure emerges—Voren, not in shadow, but flesh, his aura a black star, his eyes twin voids. “Convergence,” he intones, blade raised, lunar mark glowing, a twisted mirror of Elara’s. “Your mother’s blood began this. Yours ends it. Give me the blade, or your allies burn.”

A woman with silver eyes and no mouth. She dipped her hand into the blood and smiled. > “The Moonblood rises. The Queen returns. And the god beneath the roots... stirs.”

--- The Blood That Remembers Greta laid out three bowls: Moon water Salt Bloodroot ash The air thickened. “Your birthright isn’t just power,” Greta said to Lillieth. “It’s memory. The ember your mother hid carries history.” Lillieth’s breath tightened. “Show me.” Greta nodded. “Give me your hands.” Draven stiffened. “If she gets hurt—” “She won’t,” Greta snapped. “But she has to see.” Lillieth placed her hands palms up over the bowls.

Admon said as Brogan clamped his mouth shut but confusion was still evident. Orel knowing what Admon was saying chose to stall a little “A warrior that participated in the hunt can chose one of its maidens as his bride. The maidens are actually honored as the release of their spirits in the pyre are meant to cleanse and protect the land. It didn’t come about because we are naturally blood thirsty and like to kill women from the tribes as a way of keeping them in servitude.” “Answer me.” Admon growled at Orel as soon as he finished explaining to Brogan who looked a little red from embarrassment that he actually thought it was the second reason.

the leader said. “That is not a safeguard,” the assistant pushed. “That is hope dressed as speed. If she collapses mid-flow…” “Just like I said before, keep her conscious.” The leader positioned the blade. “Conscious is enough.” Elara turned her face toward him, breath harsh. “Listen to your own man. You need living blood. A corpse on this stone gives you nothing.” “A delayed rite gives me less,” he answered, and cut. Pain ripped across her palm, bright and immediate. She bit down on a cry and only half succeeded. Blood welled fast, hit the carved face of the stand, and began to find the groove.

Both men were bound by the ritual, though for different reasons—and the tension between them was palpable. Maelis, the eldest elder, raised her voice. “This ritual will link the blood of the mothers, the fathers, and the children. It will reveal what has long been hidden—truths that cannot be denied.” She stepped forward, holding a carved obsidian dagger, its blade shimmering under the moonlight. “Elena, place your hand here.” Elena obeyed, feeling the cold bite of the blade as Maelis pricked her palm, blood welling up instantly. The ritual had begun.

Then he spoke. “There is one thing you can try.” Hope flared again. “What is it?” “Take this blade,” he said. Rowen handed it to me. “Make a cut on your palm and feed her your blood.

I lifted Elara’s head gently and pressed my bleeding palm against her lips.

“By your blood.” The word hit harder than I wanted it to. “I don’t have family left, aside from Zara and Ryker.” Elyra didn’t correct me. But she didn’t confirm it either. Instead, she pulled a small vial from her robes—a clear crystal filled with faint silver dust. She handed it to me. “Drop your blood into this,” she said.

She barely touched the silver bowl of moon-water before her eyes rolled back and she collapsed, convulsing on the stone floor. The hall erupted in chaos, the elders shouted accusations, while the guards moved nervously. Elara went white, her hand tightening on mine under the table. I felt the triplets' energy flare protectively around her, a silver light flickered at her fingertips before she suppressed it. Mother stood abruptly. "There's a way to seal it."
