Kai Razor Blades Novels & Stories

We just passed the 12 weeks mark. “Rissa and Gabe will help you practice and get used to it.” I just nodded and pulled the knife from its sheath. It was beautiful in its own deadly way. I didn’t know shit about knives, but I was sure you can kill pretty easily with a blade like this. “The blade is a high density silver alloy, so don’t cut yourself,” Gabriel chimed in. “I won’t.” I gave him an offended look as I put the blade back and closed the box on it.

Purple patches and blade marks marred his body, and even in a transformed state, the gaping wounds could be seen. Opposite him was Razor, the holder of the Blade Lion technique. Razor was also in his transformed state, towering over Shao by half a meter. His eyes were cold and menacing, not anything like his regular genial self, and his claws and paws were stained with Shao’s blood. Protruding from his elbows, forearm, heel, and calves, were sharp blades that could tear through steel easily. These blades were stained with Shao’s blood as well. In contrast, Razor did not have a single wound on him. “Submit,” his strong voice appealed to his opponent’s sense of reason. There was no need to con

The blade passed harmlessly through, leaving nothing but rippling darkness in its wake. Kael didn’t stop. He pivoted instantly, dragging his blade back across the arc where the figure reformed. This time, he infused the strike with everything he had—speed, force, and a raw edge of fury that burned through his veins. The shadows recoiled. Not much. But enough. A faint ripple—like something real had been touched. “There you are,” Kael muttered. Behind him, Lira darted forward, her twin blades flashing as she slashed through the lingering tendrils. “So it can be hit,” she said, breath steady despite the tension. “That’s something.”

"Are you saying you'll help me?" "I’m saying the old gym at the north end of the mill is out of the security cameras' range for exactly one hour every night during the guard rotation." Kai picked up a real combat knife—blackened steel, serrated edge—and held it out to me, hilt-first. "If you want to be a weapon, you have to stop playing with toys. Pick it up." I reached out, my fingers closing around the cold, textured grip. The weight of it felt right. It felt like an extension of the anger I’d been carrying since I was a child.

It was not war. It was soul. Seren’s hand hesitated. “You’re dying,” she said again. “I’m choosing how,” Kael whispered. “Let me.” He drew his blade, its hilt marked by teeth worn down by generations of warriors. It wasn’t ceremonial. It was real. The blade that had carved through Dustborn at the Hollow War. The blade that had once guarded Seren’s mother. He didn’t wait for permission. Kael sliced his palm open, the wound deep and jagged.

As fear helps people stay sharp. “Alpha,” he whispered. “It’s done.” I didn’t move right away. I let him stand there. I let the quiet push on him. “Speak,” I said after a moment. Kael crouched down low. “The blade is ready. It’s small and sharp. I hid it in my boot. I tested the edge this morning. It will cut clean. I walked the eastern path to the circle. No one stopped me. I can get very close.”

Radar pulled the blade from its sheath and handed it to Kai, who carefully tested the point with his fingertip. “Sharp,” he said. He swung the sword a couple of times in front of him, then performed a two-handed downward stabbing motion. “This will have to do.” Rave slipped over beside Kai and laid his hand on the warrior’s shoulder. “Let me have it,” he said. “I should be the one to try. I’ll have the best chance.” Kai stared silently at Rave for a few seconds. Fiona flew between them and twittered rapidly. Both men grinned.

But something kept pulling me back to the stone. I sat by our small fire. Took out my weapons. Three silver blades. One iron dagger. My father's sword. "What are you doing?" Kael watched me work. "Maintenance." I ran the whetstone along my sword's edge. The scraping sound was steady. Calming. "You sharpened those yesterday." "Sharp blades save lives." Kael was quiet for a moment. Then he sat across from me. His eyes reflected the firelight. "You're planning something," he said.

The memories of the borderlands, the hunts, the bloodshed—they all blurred into the background. Only the blade remained. Steel. Control. Focus. He spun the sword once and brought it down in a clean strike that would have split a skull from crown to jaw. The sound echoed softly across the courtyard. Then— “You train early.” The voice came from behind him. Deep. Smooth. Ancient. Adrian froze instantly. His instincts reacted before his thoughts did. He turned and dropped to one knee. “My king.” King Vaelreth stood near the entrance of the courtyard, his dark cloak stirring slightly in the cold morning wind.

He drove the dart straight into the man’s throat. Blood sprayed across the table. The second guard swung. Kai ducked, slammed an elbow into his jaw, and took the blade from his hand in the same motion. Steel flashed. The guard dropped. Marrik stood up slowly, stepping back toward the side door. Kai killed the third guard with a single thrust. The fourth tried to grab him from behind. Kai twisted, drove the stolen blade up under the man’s ribs, and felt the body go limp against him. Blood soaked his side.
