It was a deep, metallic slate. I watched the process with a surgeon’s deep fascination. Prolonged exposure to the undiluted resonance of the mountain was triggering a secondary mutation. Their bone density was skyrocketing. They were undergoing a form of rapid osteogenesis, their skeletons lacing with microscopic quartz fibers drawn directly from the soil. The fur along their spines and shoulders was thickening into armored, interlocking plates of silver-grey stone. They were becoming living extensions of the Palace itself.

"Doctor, that’s... that’s impossible. Insects don't live in living tissue. They need oxygen. They need—" "They don't need what we need, Elias," he interrupted, snapping the film onto the lightbox. Click. The light revealed my skeleton, but it looked like a map of a nightmare. My humerus wasn't a solid white pillar of calcium. It was a cathedral of lace. Thousands of microscopic, hair-thin tunnels branched out from the center, spiraling toward the joints in patterns that looked terrifyingly intentional. And there, frozen by the radiation of the scan, were the inhabitants. They were opaque, spindly silhouettes—thousands of them, clustered in the hollows of my ribs, marching in columns through

Teddy pauses for a moment before continuing. "Your bone marrow is spongy tissue that is found inside our bones. Red bone marrow is found in the pelvis, skull, and sternum, while yellow bone marrow is found in the long bones of our legs, such as the femur and humerous." Those are the bones in our arms and legs. The iron bar that fell when you grabbed it accidentally smashed into your leg bones, nearly crushing them. As you can see, the physicians have mentioned this.” Teddy got intimate, stating,

"Your bones are where they belong. Now stop thrashing like hooked fish." Zeyric slumped forward, resting his forehead against the cool wooden table as cold sweat dripped from his chin. "You said the bond is permanent. There has to be a way to dampen the trauma, or we won't last forty-eight hours against Malakor's enforcers."

Declan stands motionless by the floor-to-ceiling window, the neon glow of the city bleeding across the hardwood like liquid gold, painting his silhouette in flickering light. His shirt hangs loose, the fabric clinging to the damp heat of his skin, sleeves pushed up to reveal the corded muscle of his forearms. The faintest sheen of sweat glistens along his collarbone, catching the light as his chest rises and falls with controlled restraint. His jaw is set, a muscle ticking beneath the stubble, his shoulders taut with something raw and unspoken. I can see the pulse hammering at the base of his throat, the way his fingers flex at his sides, as if fighting the urge to reach for me.

"The wounds are healing too fast. Better than they should." I X-ray afterwards, Shadow remaining still upon the table as the machine thunders into action. When the photos appear on the screen, Luna and I remain there in shocked silence. "That's..." Luna starts, and then stops. "Impossible," I decide. Bone density is something I've never seen. His skeleton is perfectly in proportion but built as if he were designed for incredible speed and strength. Like that of a wolf or any faster Carnivore. His heart appears larger than normal, his lungs huge. All of his organs appear to be optimized for peak function.

Now if we were somewhat able to obtain the raw materials and able to process everything on our own, I'm sure there a machine on earth that can help process the raw bones to fine high-quality bone dust, then we can finally remove one expensive thing from the export list. "Sasu.. don't smashed the 2 animal skeleton..kill it with one hit…". Hearing my shout from behind, Sasu nodded and heed my reminder. The battle wasn't that hard for him, he easily wiped the floor with all the skeletal undead in just a minute, and with my order, he disables the 2 animal skeletal with a swift blow to the head that intermediately killed the animal skeletal with the whole bone structure still intact and pristine.

He took it, which was close enough to agreement. My eldest came in next—Oliver, moving with the quiet efficiency that had been native to him since he was old enough to move with purpose. He took in Kai's notebook and expression before sitting down with the resigned air of someone who had run this calculation several times and knew exactly where it ended. "What's the question?" he said. "Bone density." "Again." "It keeps coming up." I sat across from both of them. "Wolf bone density is present at birth. Puberty accelerates the differentiation from the human baseline. Mature wolves run approximately forty percent denser than the equivalent human structure."

I could only roll my eyes in terror. One of the men brought a rolling cart into the room. On the cart sat a machine that looked like a large, industrial power drill. But instead of a masonry bit, it was fitted with a long, hollow needle made of diamond-tipped tungsten. "Bone marrow," Dr. Amani explained calmly, as if giving a lecture. "It is the factory of the blood. It contains the stem cells. If your mutation lies anywhere, Baraka, it lies in the marrow."

He adjusted the screen and pulled up the X-ray he had just taken. “Come,” he said. I stepped beside him. He pointed at the illuminated image. “This is a standard human skeletal structure.” He pulled up a comparison scan. “And this is hers.” At first glance, they looked identical. But then he zoomed in. “Here,” he said, pointing near the spine. “There is an abnormal density along the vertebral column. Almost like reinforced bone layering.” My brows furrowed. “That could be a defect,” I said.
