Indigo Lantern Oath Novels & Stories

The atmosphere was thick with anticipation, and I couldn't help but feel a mix of curiosity and trepidation. Lilith, with a devious smirk, continued to prod them forward, emphasising the necessity of the oath for the supposed greater good. The dim light cast shadows on their faces, revealing the conflict within as they hesitated to swear allegiance under the pot of thunder—a potent symbol of both power and consequence. "Swear to speak nothing but the truth under the pot of thunder, and may the consequences be upon you if you break your word and lie." Damian said as Benjamin nervously glanced at Lilith.

She had no other options left. Alex gently wiped away Kathy's tears and placed her hand on his chest. "I swear on my life to serve you loyally and never betray you." This was the highest oath in their tribe, requiring a blood pact. Breaking the vow would result in a violent death. Kathy didn't interrupt him and let him continue, looking at him helplessly like a trembling little animal.

“But the chamber is too large for just you and I to search without wasting time. We'll need help.” “You want us to tell people about the chamber…” I said in sudden realization. “Yes.” He said. “Rowan, Kael, Draven, Lyra, Vanessa and Kaida have proven their loyalty to us. I think we can trust them, but they will have to sweat an unbreakable oath just in case.” My brows furrowed in confusion. “An oath? What type of oath?” “A blood and magic oath.” He answered. “It's a type of oath that'll bind them to secrecy forever. If any of them ever think of betraying us in any way be it sabotage, revealing the location of the chamber or anything, the oath will take their lives.”

“I am bound to you this day. Body, heart, and soul, till death. No other man will touch me. No other man will have me. I belong to you, in loyalty and in blood, forsaking all others. Till death parts us.” The words should have frightened me. They were a vow and a chain, beautiful and terrifying all at once. But as I spoke them, Dante slipped a ring onto my finger, a stunning diamond band that sparkled like captured stars. “Dante DeLuca,” the priest said. “Do you swear your oath?” Dante’s eyes never left mine as he spoke, his voice low and firm.

"I've had enough of people who just follow orders without thinking." *Then we have terms.* The Shadow Wolf pulled back slightly, and suddenly all fifty of the massive creatures rose as one, their synchronized movement eerily beautiful. *Aria Lane, human heir of the Nightshade line, we offer you the Oath of Shadow and Bone. We will walk your path, fight your battles, stand as your shield against darkness. In exchange, you will treat us as equals, not servants. Partners, not tools. And you will carry the responsibility that comes with our loyalty, knowing that our deaths will be on your conscience just as the deaths of your people are.*

I flinched at the sight, suddenly recalling that night he came to my room, his hand… burnt. “Repeat after me: ‘I —your name— on this day, swear this oath of my own free will, and choose to become a member of the Raventhorne Pack, and I vow to uphold its laws.’” “I, Kate Roberts, on this day, swear this oath of my own free will, and choose to become a member of the Raventhorne pack, and I vow to uphold its laws.” I repeated. The crystal at the head of the dagger emitted a faint glow.

She shot me a smug, challenging look. Orion gripped his scepter. I noticed the massive soulstone glowing at its tip. "Ianthe." He looked up, his silver eyes locking onto mine. The room went dead silent. "I swear on the River Styx," his voice was deep and absolute. "I will not betray you. Not in this life. Not in the next. I am yours until the end of all things." The vow echoed like thunder. Even Deimos looked shocked. Swearing on the River Styx was the most binding oath in the divine realm. Break it, and your soul rots in the Abyss forever.

“We stand here not to revive the old order, but to bury it properly.” She looked each woman in the eyes. “The new oath is simple, We vow to tell the truth. We vow to protect choice. We vow to never again let love become a weapon.” The women watched her, breathing shallow, waiting. “No blades,” she said. “No blood bowls.” “No sacrifices.” “No spells.” “No chains.” Just truth. Olivia placed one hand over her heart. “If you accept this vow, not to me, but to yourselves, step forward.” One woman stepped.

The feeling was exhilarating, my blood pumped loud in my veins. “Welcome to the Annual Lunas Tournament, held for centuries to test the strength, spirit, wisdom, and heart of our Lunas. This year will be slightly different, we bring back the old ways. For a start a blood oath will be done to make sure each participant doesn't cheat.” Alpha Thorton said with so much authority backing us and facing the crowd. Our eyes jerked open. The blood oath is extremely powerful, it's binding by blood and there's no way around it.

“Are you certain you want to go through with this? If you take the Binding Oath, there’s no turning back. Your powers will be fully unlocked. You’ll be one of them... and yet, something more.” “I know.” I met his gaze steadily. “But I won’t hide from it anymore. Not from who I am, or what I carry inside. I need to face it.” He exhaled slowly, nodding. “Then we do this together.” The Binding Oath was an ancient rite—lost to most, remembered only by the High Moonsingers and the witches of Inadu. Lily had helped me piece together the ritual from my mother’s old journal, buried deep beneath the Wolfsong estate. Maria added to it with whispered stories from her own lineage. What we were about to
