" Yes!!! Let's get married again." " Okay!! " " Awww... My Charming bride." ************

she quipped hesitantly. “He did. Once. Her remains in an urn decking his room was enough proof he once loved her.” Nyx gasped, clasping her hand over her mouth to muffle the sounds that nearly came out as a shriek from surprise. He let them kill her? All to please a goody-two-shoes vampire royalty?! “I'm so sorry...Did he–”

Names whispered from the cracks, voices of the long-dead monks whose bones lined the tombs. One by one, the corpses began to stir. The first monk clawed free of his sarcophagus, jaw unhinging in a scream that gurgled with shadow. Another followed, then another — skeletal remains fleshed by black tendrils writhing through their bones like veins. The guild reeled. Half lifted blades, half staggered back in horror. “They’re already inside!” someone shouted. Killian rose, shadows flaring from his hands. His power lashed across the nearest corpse, slicing it in two — but the halves crawled forward still, dragging themselves toward Daryl.

Henry soon ceases his struggle for breath. Blossom sniffs the air, her instincts steering her toward Liza, who is nearby. She follows the blood trail on the ground, navigating past overturned tables and a grim assortment of werewolf and human remains, some still recognizable, others lost to chaos. Her path leads her to the grisly area where bodies hang suspended from meat hooks, a morbid reminder of the horrors that have unfolded.

The blood pooling around the corpse began to tremble as if drawn by an unseen force. The man’s skin began to bubble and boil, flesh melting away as an unholy heat consumed the body. The corpse convulsed, its veins bulging as if something within were trying to claw its way out. A sickening squelch echoed as flesh and bone gave way. With a grotesque pop, the corpse exploded, sending chunks of flesh and viscera splattering across the hall. A crimson mist rose from the remains, swirling in the air like a vortex before being drawn into the Overseer’s glowing palm. The bones, stripped of all flesh, clattered to the floor, their surfaces blackened and charred.

These were hardly the common Corpse Puppets they have been fighting against, but Blood Corpses, one of the more formidable killing contrivances of the Corpse Refinery Sect. The Blood Corpses stood in the path leading down the slopes of the Ridge, barring the invaders' way of retreat; the grisly sight of their rotting flesh and flayed skin only made them all the more grotesquely hideous under the bright sunlight. Even in the daylight, the atmosphere at the Ridge was cold. Not because of the altitude, but because of the deathly aura gave off by the hundreds and thousands of Corpse Puppets looming menacingly around the invaders. Their Rancorous Qi swirled everywhere like ghost-like apparitions

I strode off praying to see a survivor, I was already sick in my stomach, this kind of slaughter isn't something any sane person will want to see. “My lord! Over here, I found something.” I rode straight over to Namor “Namor, what seems to be the problem.” He pointed at a corpse lying in front of us. “This body isn't like the others, this one seems like it's been dead for just a few hours, whereas others have been dead for days.” He said looking at me. An idea occurred to me and immediately I thrust my sword down on the corpse, the assumed corpse rose up to defend itself but was a second too late and my sword thrust into his chest.

I screamed as the firelight drenched them, revealing transparent skeletons instead of their elegant silhouettes, dressed in tattered shrouds like grave-bound corpses. Without warning, Corpseboy grabbed an apple and shoved it into my mouth. I bit down reflexively. As its juices drenched my mouth, the skeletons became flesh, their rags turning into clothes. I was confronted by a whole retinue of noble-looking men and women dressed in elegant gowns and old-fashioned suits, eying me with disdain. Corpseboy, oblivious to their disapproval, grinned widely. “See, Callie? Nothing to be afraid of. Now come along or the tea will grow cold.” “They're dead,” I whispered in horror.

But as the first true rays of sun touched the garden, a shadow fell across them. A beta, young, wide-eyed, stood at the garden gate. “Alpha. The scouts found something at the river. Where Jorah died.” Kael tensed. “What?” The beta swallowed. “A body. Fresh. Dressed in Ironfang colors. But the face… it’s been carved off. And pinned to the chest: a note.” Elara sat up slowly. The beta held out a bloodstained scrap. Kael took it. Read aloud: The bridge is mended. The dark moon rises in three nights. Bring her to the standing stones alone, or the manor burns with everyone inside.

White tent, a grey sky threatening rain that never quite arrived, and a priest reading words that fell on people too distracted by their phones to absorb them. Damon stood in the front row with his hands clasped in front of him, his expression arranged into something that passed for grief from a reasonable distance. Killian stood slightly apart, which nobody commented on. Twins processed things differently. Everyone knew that. Nobody questioned it.
