Novel & Cerita Cold Bloodedness The First Descendant

Reluctantly, her fingers trembling, reached out and took the vial. She uncorked it and drank. The liquid was flavorless but carried a profound coldness and numbness. It coated her tongue and slid down her throat, and she felt the familiar ice spreading through her veins. But this time, something fought back. A searing, sudden headache exploded behind her eyes, and the world dissolved. —She ran. The ground was soft earth and needles. The air smelled of pine, wet soil, and blood. Her body moved on four legs—powerful, terrifying. Muscles coiled and released. Wind whipped through fur. The full moon above called to something ancient in her soul—

The room became still again. Even Victor stopped moving. Selene looked past Aurelia for a second—toward Victor, toward Marcus, toward the ruined doorway—as though deciding which truth mattered most before death. Then her gaze returned. “Clara never intended for you to hear it from him.” “Then tell me now.” Selene swallowed blood before speaking. “Your father built the first sequence using his own bloodline because he believed inheritance made obedience easier.” Victor frowned. “What does that mean?” “It means the original program required compatible genetic architecture.”

"The thing in the trench. The First One. What is it?" Marcus's face went pale. Even in the firelight, I could see the color drain. "Where did you hear that name?" "I met it. It rose from the ocean. Dr. Reinhart woke it." Marcus closed his eyes. His hands shook. "The First One is not a Variant," he said. "It is the source. The original. Silas did not create the Variant DNA. He stole it. From a creature that has been sleeping at the bottom of the ocean for ten thousand years."

The air smelled like ozone and forgotten promises. “Welcome,” Mira said, “to the birthplace of the Genesis Files.” Ophelia stepped forward, reading the worn-out labels on the cryo-pods lining the walls. “Genesis?” she whispered. Mira nodded. “The first-generation Bloodborns.” Carl walked toward one of the broken tubes. The tag was so faded he could barely make out the first name: Maddox. “No first name,” he murmured. “But the surname…” “It was your origin lab,” Mira said. “Carl, you weren’t born. You were engineered.”

Arth shook his head. Letholdus stepped closer to Arth and held both of his ears, looking through his eyes. “Because we have the blood Glaceus … we are the descendants of the Ice Goddess … and we share the same blood with the frost dragons … they are our brothers, my son. And our Empyreal Ability … comes from them.” His father’s blue eyes suddenly glowed brighter and brighter. Arth closed his eyes as he could feel his blood flow increasing … running wildly throughout his entire body.

And there it was: “When the blood of the Bathory meets the blood of the True Sun, the bond shall twist upon itself. Maker and made shall reflect each other, and the leash shall break. The Bathory blood. Mine. And the True Sun the first human line touched by sunlight, cursed to walk both paths. The line of Vlad. I thought it was a myth. I’d killed for it, searched for it, burned cities for it. And now, by chance or fate I’d turned one of his descendants. Dennise Morsoon. Descendant of Vlad the Blessed, the first daywalker. I dropped the book, realization slamming into me. She wasn’t just another fledgling. She was the one my ancestors feared the key that could end our kind or crown it. And

It was a humbling reminder that even as an Elder Sovereign, my education was only beginning. As the first snow of the year began to fall, the First Winter of the fourth generation presented a unique biological challenge. Kaelen, the stone twin, became sluggish and lethargic in the heat of the cabin, his charcoal grey skin requiring the literal cold of the obsidian floor to remain stable. Solis, the fire twin, shivered constantly, her amethyst resonance requiring the literal heat of the hearth to keep her blood from freezing.

“He has always been part of this world. Just like your kind.” Noah shakes his head. “The first of his kind was preserved in ice. Where I lived.” The Crone cackles, her long white hair blowing in a wind I can't feel, and the mother takes her place. It’s making my head spin. “That is what you think, but no… that was one of Bricius’s children.” Oh fuck. It’s as if someone punched the air from my guts. The Crone, not The Daughter, steps forward. “A father will always return for his firstborn. Such is their nature.”

Her eyes, wide and desperate, darted around, searching for an escape, a glimmer of hope in the oppressive gloom, but finding only the cold, unyielding brick walls closing in. The hands around her mouth were like iron bands, crushing the air from her lungs, stealing the ability to scream, to plead, to fight back. Each strained breath was a desperate battle against suffocation, a silent scream trapped within her constricted chest. Her body trembled uncontrollably, not just from the cold, but from a primal terror that seeped into her bones, chilling her to the core. She was utterly alone, utterly defenseless, a lamb offered to the wolves in the heart of a heartless city.

She didn't expect the answer to come from the baby boy. “You didn't know?!” the baby boy said in disbelief. “Sorry!” Venus said curtly. “I come from the place you call the First Earth! What do I know about the Second Earth?!” “Oh,” the baby boy muttered embarrassed. He explained without being asked again. “Giris Druiksa is a human being as well as the first volt on the Second Earth. It is said that he also made the designation of volts for humans who could control Talent, even though the grouping of Talents was discovered long after he died.”
