Elsa Bloodstone Novels & Stories

I’m looking at the microscopic imperfections. Deep within the third emerald the largest, most brilliant stone there isn't a standard inclusion. There is a fracture line that looks completely wrong for an eastern European mine. It has a specific, cloudy iron-silicate signature. I’ve read about this layout in old textbooks. It only comes from one place on earth: a highly contested, illegal deep-crust vein in a region that has been under an international mining embargo for decades. It’s a blood stone. Evander didn't buy a legal legacy collection. He’s laundering illicit conflict gems through my Caged Heart line, using my clean reputation as the perfect camouflage.

Without protection, a vampire could compel any human close to me … and I could be compelled, too. Raven closed her eyes as she held my hand and extended her other hand over the stones. “Siramacha brenach bondagia compage, siramacha brenach bondagia compage, siramacha brenach bondagia compage.” She opened her eyes, clearly drained. She reached down and picked up one of the stones, placed it in my hand, then curled my fingers around it. “Make sure to carry this with you at all times.” I nodded and looked down at the stone. I could definitely see why it was called Bloodstone. It looked like blood had been splashed into a sea of green, then frozen into a stone.

"Good. That is the answer I was hoping for." She reached into a drawer beside her chair and pulled out a small leather pouch. She held it out to Lyra. "Take this. It belonged to my grandmother, and her grandmother before her. It has been passed down through the generations of wolf-less women in my family." Lyra took the pouch and opened it. Inside was a small, smooth stone, dark as night, with a single silver thread running through its centre. "What is it?" she asked. Elara's voice dropped to something almost reverent. "A moonstone. It is said to carry the essence of the moon goddess herself. It will protect you when the darkness comes."

Amaria said. “ He is still dangerous, we can't risk it, ” Elex refuted. Teresa scanned the area and noticed a bright red gemstone on one piece of the Daemon boar that she'd held. The gemstone began to vibrate, she looked at the one Dove tried to block and also found the gemstone reacting that same way. “ Amaria, Elex, Dove, something's wrong, come look at this” Teresa called, the three stopped talking and focused on Teresa.

“So, what else do you have in mind?” Elara’s eyes twinkled. “There will be murals on the walls, of course.” She said that so matter-of-factly that anyone within hearing distance would assume that murals were a must-have in a baby’s room. “Of course.” With my approval, she went on, “We’ll have plenty of moonstones, black tourmaline, moss agates, rose quartz, and citrine in various places. All out of the reach of little hands, of course.”

I asked Luna Ella hoping that she could give me some kind of information that would help us take her down this time. Ella rolled over and she opened the nightstand next to the bed and pulled out a locket and looked at it for a minute before she handed it to me and said, “This locket held the power of moonstone particles. They are nothing but ash now, but they used to work. Unfortunately, there is no power left in them, and moonstones are hard to come by. I drew power from them to get to her realm and then I drew power from the moon in her realm to bring her realm down with her in it.”

She glared at me before she kept going. Elara joined me outside with the basket. “Let’s go,” she urged and we started walking. ------ “Elara, why did mum give me the bracelet?” I suddenly asked. “I don’t know. It’s a thing about a spirit vessel and blood keepsake.” I nodded. The bracelet seemed off,I don't know how; it brought memories and pushes me into a void where I lose control of my body. "You look lost," she commented. "Am fine." We reached the flowing river and little Calissi had already started bathing without us

Caleb motioned for Elsa to follow him inside. The cave was dark and damp, but Elsa could see the glint of something shiny in the distance. As they got closer, she realized that it was a glowing crystal, the likes of which she had never seen before. She reached out to touch it, and as her fingers brushed against its surface, she felt a surge of energy flow through her body. It was as if the crystal was alive, pulsing with its own mysterious power. Caleb looked at Elsa, his eyes wide with amazement. "Do you feel that?" he whispered.

“What do you mean ‘sense her’? How?” “He’s bonded to the realm. To its roots. Every tremor in power, every shift in balance—he feels it. And your child… she’s not like others.” He pulled back the velvet to reveal a necklace—silver, old, strung with three bloodstones and a charm that looked like a broken moon. “This will hide her aura,” Elias said. “And yours, too. For now.” I took it with trembling fingers. “Why would you help me? You serve the Circle.”
