Cup Rune Over Ao3 Novels & Stories

Her shadow stretched across the floor — wrong, enormous, rippling with wings and teeth and something serpentine. Her voice trembled for the first time. “Please… hurry…” Her hand spasmed. “Before they decide for you.” The ground lurched violently. Under their feet, the earth cracked. Not randomly. The crack made a shape. A rune. A chosen rune. A Rune of Sacrifice. Auren recognized it instantly and screamed: “KAEL—DON’T STAND IN—” The rune flared. Kael was trapped inside its boundaries. Light roared around him like a cage snapping shut.

“She’s staking claim. This isn’t about you anymore, Ruby. She’s trying to claim me.” I swallowed the lump in my throat. “What do we do?” I asked. He didn’t answer at first. He took out his phone and dialled Kai. Minutes later, Kai arrived. After scanning the rune, his face paled slightly. “It’s real,” he muttered. “Old magic. This isn’t just some random symbol. It’s a possession rune. Rare—intended for mates, or claimed territory. If she’s using this and was able to place it here…” Roman stepped in, his voice sharp. “Then she’s acting from within the system.”

As she walked, she whispered a silent prayer to the moon again, seeking strength and courage for what lay ahead. The cave was unexpectedly beautiful. The walls, covered in ancient runes, glowed with a faint, silvery light, casting intricate patterns across the stone. The runes were of various shapes—some curved and flowing like water, others sharp and angular, resembling the jagged peaks of mountains. Each rune seemed to pulse with its own life, a testament to the ancient power that resided within the cave.

Fear gripped the Horc and the rest of them. “ His aura… it's overwhelming ” Dove mumbled. Where the Horc stood under it appeared a dark rune, from that rune dark shadowy hands crawled out and grabbed its legs. The Horc struggled but it was too strong. He ran toward it and sliced through the red gemstone in its chest, the Horc wailed as it burnt into ashes.

“Selene, why are you here? I mean, I only ask because it’s rare for you to show yourself to others.” Selene simply giggling at the question, as if she wasn’t phased by it in the least. “Yes, that is true. And while I do rarely show myself to others, I did feel like I needed to show myself to you before I spoke with Tori.” “Tori?” “Yes. For you see…. Tori and Rune are what I call special. As they are what I call magical runes or in layman’s term a Rune wolf. Another term to use is Rune-binder as Rune’s fur is white with black and silver runes etched along the surface. Runes that grant Tori certain powers at certain times when needed but only when he becomes of age.”

A hot breath touched my neck, his fangs skimming dangerously close. “Please,” I pleaded, tears stinging my eyes. “Kael, it’s me.” His snarl deepened. His claws brushed my skin. And for a scary secondI believed he would murder me. Something inside me cracked. A burning sensation tore through my arm. My sleeve sparkled, light spilling from beneath my skin. The rune. It burned hot, gold and white, engulfing the space with incredible heat. Kael froze. His growls broke into ragged breaths, his body quivering above mine. He sank his head against my shoulder, shivering violently.

“You dare look down upon us as if you have attained victory?” Rogue nodded, showing Nave that he was positive that he had victory in his grasp. “Yes, I do. Now then, come forth and kneel” He said and removed his hand from his pocket. He unfolded his palm; and made it face the army before him, A rune emerged from the epicenter of the palm and grew in size. It oozed an ominous aura... The aura emitted hues of obsidian miasma, and from within multiple hollowed construct emerged, they took the form of humanoid entities and revealed the people and deities he has killed in battle.

Kaizen tilted his head dangerously low, his crimson eyes morphing into a darkish red as he looked at Rune. “Revna is your sister?” Roxie clamored. Shit! Rune was dead! What had she done? Deciding to save the male from the claws of Kaizen, she immediately ran to shield him away. “They are mates. Just because you can fight the bond with me doesn't mean others can do it!” “They are mates?” Again, another round of gasps. “Roxie, you are not helping!” Rune gritted through his teeth but still hid behind Roxie. He couldn’t hurt him unless he hurt his mate, but his human shield was yanked away by Ciel, who didn't look happy at all.

However, that guy called Fane in front of him would probably not even know how many pill aura runes there were, or how to even draw them, let alone be able to achieve fifty percent refinement. After all, Fane had never had the chance to learn the Way of the Pill before. Fane glanced at Raphael. "There are a total of one million pill aura runes. Each rune can be overlapped with other runes to achieve special effects." It was all common knowledge in Fane's mind. They were all things that he could pull out of his mind casually. Yet, Raphael seemed to take his words as a joke and started to laugh out loudly.
