Her eyes glinted with hunger as she stepped closer. “Emily,” she purred. “You don’t have to make that choice alone. I can help. Just let me guide you… We could rule everything.” My hands trembled. And then the Void Monarch appeared before me once more closer this time. In his hand was a blade unlike any I’d ever seen. Not forged of metal, but of moonlight and stardust, wrapped in ethereal flame. A celestial dagger. He placed it in my palms. “Choose, Child of the Moon,” he whispered. “Destroy them… or transform them. But know this either choice will change the world forever.”

Yet, I detected a flicker of something deeper, a spark of intrigue that hinted at a more complex reaction brewing beneath the surface. The ice knife danced through my fingers with a fluid, practiced motion, its delicate, crystalline structure glinting in the dim light of the dining hall. The soft, whispery sound of the blade spinning through the air seemed to fill the silence, a mesmerizing display of dexterity and control. Blaze's eyes never left the knife, his gaze fixed intently on the whirling, icy blade as if hypnotized by its movement. Haven, too, seemed transfixed, her eyes wide with wonder and a touch of fear, as if she was witnessing something truly extraordinary.

“My name is James. I am the head butler of the Goven family. Your grandfather has been searching for you for years now.” Dukia couldn’t speak, she was just gawking. “He regrets everything that happened,” James continued, holding the umbrella above her head, “more than you can possibly imagine. He would like to apologize and beg for your forgiveness. He would like to give you what is yours.” He brought out a picture from his breast pocket, Dukia took it with trembling fingers. A little girl of about six years old, grinning on a swing. Her father’s hands pushing her from behind and her mother waving from a garden chair.

The King's cup from the Monclair era, which was a royal goblet, was sold for an astronomical price of 208 million dollars. Holly marveled at the extravagant way these men were splurging, spending 208 million dollars to bid for a goblet once used by a king. Perhaps wine would taste better if they were to drink from it. Next up was an Edgewood vase. It has a slightly flared mouth and a short neck, measuring up to ten inches in height and a diameter of over three inches at the base. Two tigers were painted on the vase, looking ferocious with their claws extended and mouths opened wide.

ECHOES OF FAILURE ~DARIN POV~ The ice doesn’t give a shit about how many times you’ve died. I dig my blades in harder, crossovers ripping the surface, shoulder-checking the boards just to feel the rattle in my teeth. Practice is half over, and I’m already sweating through my jersey, my lungs burning like they’re trying to remind me I’m still breathing. Fifth life. Same rink. Same numb fucking routine. Coach blows the whistle. “Salvator! Are you skating or daydreaming?”

The throne room was not a place of comfort, but a monument to oppression. Columns of obsidian rose like the ribs of a colossal beast toward the vaulted ceiling, where crimson velvet banners bearing the rampant wolf hung in sepulchral silence. The air there was thin, laden with the scent of ancient incense and the weight of centuries of lupine sovereignty. Seated upon the throne of polished bones, Queen Isolde appeared carved from the very ice that covered the northern mountains. Her eyes, an arctic blue that had never known the warmth of compassion, fixed on Cedrik as he crossed the central corridor.

•NYMERIA• "Nymeria, what's wrong?" Rosa asked when she found my room upside down. I had turned over the bed, emptied my closet, and all my bags, looking for the medallion. I felt like I was losing my mind because it was the only thing that my mother gave me and told me never to lose it. She trusted me with it for some reason, and I had only one job. To keep it safe so it didn't land in the wrong hands.

I didn't do it and he knows it. "It takes special skills to be a Royal, you know" I say and he looks at me confused. That was all I needed before grabbing him by the back of his neck. And I pulled him towards me. But I made him stand in front of me. I pulled out a silver knife that's coated in wolfsbane and pressed it against his neck just enough for him to feel the burning sensation. "Well, now" I look at Monica's daughter. "What's your name?" I ask her and she is just looking at me in pure shock.

He knew it was useless to use the blade as its spell had gone with the deceased body. "Oh, what now. He failed to kill or put the Monarch to sleep. We must leave immediately because Mistress will go on the warpath when she discovers what happened to one of her puppets. The King looked around him intently. He could not see the person speaking close up until he observed two red butterflies flying away from him.
