Kai cleared his throat, nodding at me. "And Ayra," Nathaniel added reluctantly. We burst out of the woods, and the first thing I saw was a wooden gate. It was broken on its hinges, and wide-open, giving us a view of the front yard of the mansion. Bones and skulls littered the floor, alongside some dried blood. The blood looked fresh too. I couldn't help but wonder if these were the skeletons of the humans that had faced torture at the hands of whoever ran this poison-manufacturing business.

When the cultivators of the Divine Bone Dock really escaped, Caspian began to slowly collect the resources in the Divine Bone Dock. It had to be said that a sect like the Divine Bone Dock had accumulated an enormous amount of resources. If he could take over all the resources of the Divine Bone Dock, he would definitely make a fortune. Caspian entered a world of bones. The bones here were most definitely not ordinary bones. Instead, they were precious bones. The so-called precious bones were deliberately refined for some purpose. These precious bones were often incomplete. It was because if one wanted to refine their entire body into precious bones, it would be too difficult. It was practica

In any other situation, he would have felt it to be disrespectful to take away the bones but here, the owner of the bones himself was instructing him to take one away. Raider gulped audibly and stood up to hesitantly walk closer to the bone formation. Closest to him were the legs and feet bones of the skeleton, arranged in a crisscross fashion. Raider slowly bent down and reached out to pick up the left tibia. His entire arm was trembling. As his fingers wrapped around the bone, he could feel a warmth pulsing out of it, as if it possessed a life of its own. It felt smooth and emanated a feeling of durability and power.

I honestly felt like I had offended nature, like it was just 7:10 and the sun was this hot, I wondered what it would be like at noon. I got up from the sun lounger, frustrated as hell as I grabbed my phone and the orange juice box I had by my side. I moved towards the main building of my humble home. Wait did I say 'humble', wrong wrong, this house wasn't humble at all, sometimes I wondered why my dad built such a large house, I mean we we're just a family of 5, why have a house with nearly 20 rooms. If you would ask me, I'd honestly say it's too much.

blonde wood, with an emerald green canopy draped over it. The room screamed royalty. All of the furniture matched the blonde colored wood of the bed. There was a huge armoir on one wall, a vanity with a large ornate mirror behind it, once beautiful rugs adorning the stone floor, and a beautiful chandelier made of what I could only assume was crystal in the center of the ceiling. I walked over to my mother's vanity, and ran my finger over a thick layer of dust. I gasped as the room seemed to spring back to life. "Princess, the castle recognizes your blood signature. It's coming back to life." Gideon told me. I stared at him with wide eyes as the room returned to it's pre-dilapitated state. "

I pointed at the hatch. “And we are opening that.” The chimney released a doubtful ooohhh, like a polite ghost saying are you sure? “I appreciate your feedback,” I told the house, “but I’m doing it anyway.” --- I needed tools. A crowbar. Courage. Maybe an exorcist. Instead, I found the pantry. Varyn House’s pantry looked like the last stop on the Oregon Trail: shelves of pickled what-the-hells and a lemon that had achieved consciousness. Under a wobbling worktable sat a wooden crate the color of old money.

"Put them out of their misery." "Focus," I hissed, grabbing his shoulder. "If you kill them, the flow of energy stops. Heriberto wakes up. We are here for the book." We reached the third level. The air grew colder. The purple crystals were brighter here, throbbing with a heartbeat rhythm. Thump. Thump. And then we saw it. The Bone Orchard. It was a massive natural cavern. The floor was covered in bones...animal bones, mostly, piled waist-high. But in the center, a structure rose. A throne made of human femurs and skulls, fused with black glass.

That’s his second mistake. “That must’ve hurt,” I murmur, brushing the ash away with my thumb, almost gentle. “You poor thing.” Bones shifts, eager to end it. I lift a hand. “Don’t make him repeat himself,” I say, irritation slicing through my tone. “Where. Are. My guns.” “We don’t have them!” he sobs. “We sold them, okay? We’re just a small gang—we needed money, men, leverage in these streets. We—”

"My bones... they ache." "Good," he said, biting lightly at the tendon in my neck. "That means the wolf is waking. She's scratching at the door, Lila. Let her out."
