I Brought You Frankincense Vine Novels & Stories

I tried again. Cedarwood. My shoulders relaxed instantly. “That’s you,” I whispered. I added a trace of spice. Black pepper, just enough to bite. Then something warm. Amber. Not sweet. Just… present. I capped the vial and smelled it. My eyes burned. It wasn’t perfect, but it felt like him standing behind me, one hand on my lower back, steadying me without asking. “Don’t disappear,” I whispered to the empty room. I thought about how far I’d come.

Senna I used to think my brain was a box with a locked lid. I liked the lock because it kept me safe and let me do my work. But tonight, the lock just fell off and everything inside came pouring out. "It is just a ritual blend," I said to the empty infirmary. I was talking to the bowl of herbs on my table. I talk to myself when the room is too quiet. "The pack member asked for it. Cedar, dried petals, and that one special root. It shouldn't smell like this."

She really hoped they were doing well without her. Taking a step further, the scent of the candle flooded into her nostrils. Frankincense. Zezi took in a deep breath, trying to shut all the peaceful memories that came with that scent away. It was just the one she liked and she didn't want to associate this time with the King of her enemies to anything that would mean so much to her heart, more so in a position light. "What for?" The sound of the matchstick as it kissed the wick of the last candle seeped into her ears and the next second, he had put it off.

My eyes dart to Marco, but he almost seems paled by my revelation, as if he has accidentally discovered a terrible secret. Despite my confusion, I didn’t question it too much, as my eyes dart down to look at the ingredients, frowning slightly. “But I’ll need Jade vine, which is a very rare flower. Maybe the princess will have some,” I pack my things, and head out, unable to question Marco’s frozen state.

And frankincense contained… I looked up at the towering cedar trees in front of me. “Resin,” I murmured. I struck the cedar trunk with my baton until the bark cracked. Sap slowly oozed out, clear and yellowish. I collected it in my palms, and once I had enough, I turned back to Kael. Carefully, I spread the resin over his wound. He groaned immediately, his eyes flashing yellow as he gripped my hand with terrifying strength. It felt like my bones might snap, but I could not stop.

Zion entered with a plate containing frankincense, a woody and spicy fragrance that soothed my soul. "Amari is making lunch for you. She asked me to bring you this," he explained. "You look funny upside down," I joked, attempting to erase his concerned expression. He smiled without teeth and put the fragrance on a small table near my bed. I pushed myself up, holding the table's edge and leaning forward until my face almost touched it. I inhaled deeply and exhaled slowly, and allowed the scent to circulate through my lungs. "Thanks, Zion." My voice was hoarse from misuse, and my throat hurt. Even speaking seemed difficult. Zion looked at me with an odd expression as if he wanted to ask me a q

"Well, we are going into a new year--" "So..." "So?" He frowned. "Get laid." He tapped my leg and left the room. "Asshole." I cursed under my breath. No one was helping in any way. A knock came on my door and Ariadne walked in with a tray. "It's ginseng tea. Very rare." She handed the mug over to me. "Hmm." "Drink it while it's still hot." She smiled. "Thank you." I sipped. She sat at the edge of the bed. Her scalded wrist was still bandaged.

“Yes, but they come from Africa, not Haiti. Elegguá manifests both as a child and an old man. You need a child’s curiosity to find the city beneath the city, but you need an old man’s wisdom to walk its streets.” Vince brought a dark green leaf from his pocket. It was dried and rolled into a cigar shape. He lit the leaf with a zippo. It burned rapidly, flaking to ash, giving off thick billows of smoke. Vince dropped the ash on the Vèvè and inhaled the smoke, muttering an incantation under his breath. He grabbed the back of Jimmy’s neck, and pulled his face down into the smoke. Jimmy breathed it in. It smelled resinous and tasted bitter. He wanted to retch and cough his lungs up at the same t

The pleasant fragrances wafting through the air had already lifted my spirits considerably. However, I was suddenly struck with a pang of guilt upon realizing that I hadn't yet acquired a gift for Jasper. Standing in the aisle, I racked my brain for ideas on what to get him, but he seemed to possess everything already. Then, my gaze happened upon the lip balms, and a mischievous grin crept across my face. I recalled Jasper's aversion to overly feminine scents in lip balms. Without a second thought, I grabbed four jars of cocoa butter, confident that he would appreciate them.
