Ominous Black Stake の小説・ストーリー

"The boy stays breathing, or nobody gets paid." Kan Nelblack didn't blink. He just leaned back in the leather chair, watching the vein throb in the older man’s forehead. Beside him, Gideon Blackwell shifted, the movement subtle but lethal. Lity was a heavyweight in the New Orleans underworld, a man who thought money bought immunity from the consequences of being a prick. He was wrong. Gideon tossed the thin manila folder back onto the desk. "What’s your stake in him, Samon? You don't hire the best trackers in the South for a simple debt collection."

I said. Kael stepped forward first. He pricked his fingertip with a silver dagger and let a drop of blood fall onto the moonstone. The moonstone turned black. As black as Kael's heart. A collective gasp rippled through the crowd. Kael's smirk vanished. His face turned white with shock. "No," he whispered. "That's not possible." "Black blood means black heart," I said, my voice ringing with the Goddess's authority. "It means cruelty, hatred, and betrayal. It means a ruler who will lead the pack to destruction. Kael Blackthorn, you are not worthy to be Alpha."

It should be illegal to look this nerve wrecking. The first three buttons of his shirt were undone, revealing a patch of clear slightly tanned skin. The sleeves of his shirt were rolled up to his elbows, showing off the prominent veins that ran up his back hand. I felt the breath hitch in my wind pipes as our eyes met, his mesmerizing green stare made my cheeks flush and my knees go weak, it was like I was paralyzed as I stood there while his eyes still roamed me. "I don't think I've introduced myself. Damon Blackwood" his husky voice made my heart rate pick up. A smirk crawled unto his features as he stretched out a hand for me and I just stared in awe, his words sinking in.

I confessed. "Well, surprise!"he said sarcastically. My heart raced, and I felt my adrenaline kick in. He brought out something from his robe. It was a stake. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. It was not possible! "You know what this is,"he said. My breath quickened, and the alcohol made my head pound. I must have been dreaming. "A stake from the red sycamore tree,"I whispered. "Good guess,"he commented. "I thought they were all destroyed?"I asked.

We ate lunch in the quiet room, discussing the witch clans' current state - which was far from ideal. "Break time is over," Susan announced. As Jennifer settled into a holster chair to observe, Susan encouraged me to take deep breaths and handed me a dark stone called the 'Black Night.' Unlike light magic, there were no spells to recite for this one; the magic just came naturally. I held the stone in my left hand and let the power flow through me. The exertion was much less than light magic. It engulfed my palm in black fire, starkly contrasting the tiny balls of yellow light from before. "It seems Leia's stronger in black magic," Jennifer commented. I gave her a puzzled look.

I said, doing my best to sound normal. “So, what’s going on?” I asked Zane. “Something is off,” he replied, showing me the black coffin. The black coffin. Here it was, right in our face. The cold mist lingered around it, giving chills. The black mist was thicker than what Eric had described and different from the last time we were here. Faint black veins slithered around the black coffin like the Noctyrix, ready to bite anyone approaching it. “Look! The black coffin is vibrating!” Zane pointed out as soon as we drew nearer to it.

Before her, nestled in the broken earth like a festering wound, lay the remnants of Black Hollow. Once a thriving werewolf stronghold, Black Hollow had been reduced to rubble and shadow. Towering pillars of obsidian stone still jutted out of the ground, cracked and leaning, forming the skeleton of a city lost to war. It was a place that had once dared to challenge Grimkeeper. Now, it stood as a monument to his wrath.
