Can't Summon Latenna At Apostate Derelict Novels & Stories

Right before we start Theo walks in " what are you doing here?" "I thought I should be here since I was the one that's almost been sold out". "True but you don't have to be there for this". " well, you don't have to be here" I remind him. "I want to". He pushes back. Star whisper to me " let him, it might be good for him". Sitting down " alright guys let's get started, this is Sapphire daughter of the Alpha of the Prospect Pact and she believes she has an idea on how to create an alliance with us without mating"

Resting upon it was a small, jewel-encrusted chest. Luna approached the chest cautiously, her hands trembling with a mix of excitement and trepidation. She reached out and carefully opened the lid, revealing a shimmering orb pulsating with a soft, soothing light. The relic, known as the Heartstone, radiated an otherworldly energy that seemed to quell the darkness that loomed around them. Gently, Luna picked up the Heartstone, feeling its warmth resonating through her fingertips. She turned to the alpha and Amelia, her eyes filled with determination. "This might be our only chance," she said firmly. "We have to bring the Heartstone close to the creature."

Tatum grits his teeth, standing to his feet and he pulls Leila close to him as if he can read her mind and sense her fear. “We’re getting out of here, I promise you,” Tatum says in a tender voice and his arms wrapped around Leila bring her comfort as his words reassure her. “How do we summon this spirit to get the riddle?” Tatum turns to Tatiana. “Heshrai, spirit of the forest, trapper of lost souls, home of the forgotten, I, Tatiana Darkside, daughter of Hecate, summon you.” Immediately the words leave Tatiana’s lip, an earth vibrating growl resonates throughout the forest, vibrating it.

I ask Levi, looking up at him in question. Instead of answering my question, Levi begins to chant words I recognize from back at our pantry. “Revelata quae abscondita sunt.” The altar begins to shake at his words. “Revelata quae abscondita sunt.”, he repeats his chant, sending the altar backwards as stairs magically appear beneath them, spiraling down into darkness.

"Asmodeus didn't just learn necromancy; he’s using a corrupted tether to the Labyrinth. He’s pulling the dead through the 'Gray' using the same nodes my mother used for the Way-Gates." She turned toward the woods where the scent of rot was still heavy. "He thinks he can hide in the cabin, but he needs the Half-Market's 'Black Salts' to keep his body from falling apart. He’s tethered to the underground." "The market?" Julian rasped, his voice desperate. "We go back down?"

The torchlight flickered violently. And then, I felt it. The abyss had opened again. *** **Omniscient Narrator** In a cavern hidden among the western cliffs, Ágata and Eloise held a forbidden relic in their hands: a black sphere, carved from living obsidian. Surrounded by ancient symbols drawn in blood, whispers rose from their lips, invoking a being that time had tried to forget. “The previous attack was just a murmur,” whispered Eloise. “Now… let them hear the roar.”

One last word came to mind, one last name I had to call out to finish the summoning. "Kastem!" The name rolled through me like a train, dragging every last ounce of energy from my body as I collapsed to the ground again. The circle shrank suddenly to a pinpoint on the carpet, and exploded in a flash of light. I shielded my eyes from it, but even as the bright white burned, I could see the silhouette of the beast materializing where the circle had been. Nathan stumbled back, sinking into an over-stuffed arm chair when his feet hit it. "I can't believe it."

My heart beat erratically as distant voices echoed from the main hall—murmurs of worry, of fear. The door creaked open. Elara stepped inside. At first, she didn’t acknowledge me. Her posture was stiff, her eyes locked on the crimson-cloaked figure beside her—a priestess. The woman bore obsidian bands along her sleeves, and her voice was tense as she leaned close to Elara. “Elara,” the priestess whispered, “if the relic fails to merge, the backlash could destroy her.” “She’ll survive,” Elara replied with cold indifference. “And if she doesn’t?”

I rolled my eyes and frowned. "No one said anything about me not helping you. There are several items that I can loan you to help retrieve both child and mate," he said sincerely and I smiled once again. He waved for Sagon and me to follow him down into an underground chamber full of enclosed items of antiquity. I was shocked to see many religious things in the devil's possession. Lucifer walked straight up to an odd green-colored stone pendant and lifted the chain it was on.

"The relic... it's not just a weapon. It's a key. A key to a hidden power... something that can end the Alpha King's reign once and for all." Aeliana's eyes widened. "Where is this power? How do we find it?" The figure's breathing became labored. "The catacombs... beneath the city. There's a chamber... protected by ancient magic. Only the relic can open it." Isabella leaned closer, desperation in her eyes. "How do we get there?" The figure's eyes locked onto Isabella's, a flicker of hope in their gaze. "Follow the map... trust in each other. You can do this. You have to."
