My Blood Wizard System
Rowan sits across from me, legs crossed, silver mug steaming.
Rowan:
“The First Wizard is expecting surrender.
The crown is whole.
The treaty says it gets sealed away, heir or no heir.”
I lean back, twin tails draped over the armrest, pink Vans kicking idly.
Celeste (quiet, dangerous):
“I’m not even 17 yet.
I’m not laying down on some table and letting them cut my heart out to lock it away in a box.
If the First Wizard thinks that’s why I’m coming, he’s gonna have a rude awakening.”
