Protection Sigils Novels & Stories

Years of enforced smallness, of swallowed power, of being told to be normal and grateful, cracked. “I will help,” she said, voice steadier than I’d ever heard it when speaking about anything that mattered. “I swear it on… on what magic I have left. I will tell you everything I remember. Our sigils. Our protections. The stories my mother told about witches like *her.*” “Good,” I said. “Start with the sigils. The ones that shield against seeing. Against threading. Anything that keeps eyes off me.” She nodded, hands twisting in her skirt to keep them from shaking.

“If this barbarian is lying, any harmful magic will be contained?” That earned a faint smirk from Gildeon. “Yes, Vice Commander,” the male sigilmaker said. “With Commander Araheen’s assistance, we reinforced and tested the protective sigils. Their integrity matches that of those in the High Council chamber. And as instructed, the entire room is shielded against all forms of fire magic, but we left the Vulkar’s Rod relics unshielded to allow passage for the Dragon’s fire.” Feviel’s gaze snapped back to Gildeon, who clearly hadn’t missed his smirk. “You find this amusing?”

] A jolt of fear shot through me; that was my last shot at shaking her off. I lunged for the sigil of protection, but she sidestepped with ease. I tried to keep my cool. "I picked this up at a religious place I visited. The guy in charge said I've been down on my luck, so he gave me this to help turn things around. It's not the evil thing you're making it out to be." She stood her ground, insisting, "My granddad's a Mystic, and I've picked up a thing or two from him. That sigil of protection is bad news. It's sucking away your life and draining the energy from everyone around you, making you sicker by the day.

Instead I had to do the dull things that would allow him to return or, if not, to ensure the pups had a world to live in. I turned my attention back to the study, spreading a thin layer of moon-sigil across the main gate. The sigil would confuse hunters, bend sight for an hour or two, and irritate the senses of those who used blood-warding. It was a small thing but a necessary one. I stitched in a soft second line: a pulse keyed to my heart. If anyone attempted to break it using Draco’s particular weave, the sigil would scream and release a smoke that smelled of iron and holy ash, enough to blind and nauseate for minutes. That scream would bring guards. It would also make any cursed witch he

I whispered and almost immediately, my appearance changed. The clothes I wore turned into a red gown. My own "once in a while" sceptre found its way into my hands. My hair became longer and every right thing about me changed to the magical form I switched to. "Woah!" Steve exclaimed as he stared at me with surprise and shock. I turned towards the part of the city that caught fire and stretched my sceptre towards the area. Immediately, the fire died down and smoke was the only thing that remained. I stretched the sceptre towards every corner of the Spears' mansion, thereby invoking and assigning some of my protection powers to the house and everything in it. None of the inhabitants would get

I instantly object, crossing my arms sternly across my chest, “-it’s not happening. So, accept it and tell me what you’ve found out about the burn marks.” “Alrighty,” Elijah seems reluctant to continue, “-as long as you’re sure. According to the grimoires I’ve read, it’s a sigil. The style they wrote it in is some type of forgotten language that witch’s once used. Most of the books I read said it dates back to the creation days, if you can believe it. But none of the grimoires had anything on the sigil we are dealing with. So, I had to double down, and that’s when I stumbled on a set of old scrolls stored away in the Trinity Vault,” he sighs, “-they gave me a rough idea of what it’s used for

Henry, always the perceptive friend, noticed the confusion on my face and asked, "What's going on Lyra?" I took a deep breath, trying to gather my thoughts. "I've made up my mind. Sage can never know about the baby," I said firmly, my voice filled with finality. And I was glad that he didn't try to stop me from taking such risk but he had promised to cast a spell on both me and my baby one that the Mickleson's would never be able to reach out to either me or the baby. "You need to get some rest we still have a long journey ahead of us," he says.

“Do you accept this binding now and after death?” I swallowed the lump in my throat. “Yes, I do.” “Jarren, do you accept this binding now and after death?” “I do,” Jarren stated. Then, I noticed Dominic was tying a silk ribbon around our wrists, binding them together. “By my power, I deem this bond unbreakable. You may kiss your bride,” Dominic stated.

They knew that they had been chosen for a special purpose, their bodies now infused with the magic of Selene's blessing. The mage's next enchantment held a promise of impenetrable defense. With intricate gestures and whispered incantations, Selene summoned a shimmering shield of energy that surrounded each soldier. This shield, woven with strands of ancient magic, would render them impervious to missiles and weapons forged from lead, providing an invaluable advantage on the battlefield.

He positioned himself at the back to watch for an ambush from behind. He still considers me a Farlander. But he will see. I will prove my allegiance to the tribes of the ruins. I've already taken the first steps towards becoming a true tribesman, just like Dog. Our bodies now have steel piercings, symbolic decorations we acquire in a ceremony after our mating ritual. The ceremony was performed in the Source's chamber so that its power could instantly heal piercings that would otherwise take months. Dog piercings include a heavy steel ring on his septum and two more on both earlobes. The Alphas believe that the Source grants the wearers of these rings enhanced senses of smell and hearing.
