Red Rising Sling Blade Novels & Stories

Queen Selene stepped forward and held out the Crimson Blade—the weapon forged from the Dark Blade itself. Only this weapon possessed enough ancient power to force Roosevelt into his eternal slumber. Levi accepted it silently. He and Erin gripped the sword together. A portal of shimmering light opened before them. Without another word... The two stepped through it. The portal closed. Only to reopen an instant later... Directly in front of Roosevelt. Before Arin could even react— The Crimson Blade pierced straight through Roosevelt's heart. His body jerked violently. Blood spilled from his lips. Time itself seemed to stop.

Rule number two of this business: know your prey. Mr Allard gets in the driver’s seat and now it’s time to have some fun. While he’s busy turning his phone back on, I carefully pull my best friend from my ankle holster. Crimson – as I like to call her – is an 11” titanium knife with a 5” trailing point blade with a sloping style hilt. I never go anywhere without her and before you ask, yes I call it a ‘she’, how can I not? She’s reliable, durable, gets the job done and is bloody every month. Quickly sitting up, I place the blade of my knife to this throat, while being sure not to nick the skin – that’s not how we’ll be doing this. His body instantly goes rigid as he pushes himself into the s

Jangling can be heard as she maneuvers it and then reveals a harness that she had been wearing, full of a multitude of weaponry that is both impressive and scary. As she puts it down, a glint flashes in my direction and the shine is so bright, it can only mean one thing, her blades are made of silver. Silas allows his nails to elongate into claws, and crouches down ready to attack, Red simply stares back at him, still wearing her cloak. "You may remove your cloak if you wish, Red." "Thank you, Alpha Hades, but I prefer to keep it on. My identity must remain unknown, and I hope that you will respect that."

Even if she wasn't wearing a bodysuit, she would have been fine. "Oh, let me show you then," Xara had a calm smile on her face. She waved her hands and a pair of red and black dual blades entered her hands, the blades were beautifully designed. Both 2'5ft tall and a few inches wide, it was wavy and there were endless small runes and grooves etched into the blade similar to Xasha's own Storm Caller.

Then I grabbed my sheath for my waist and inserted my seven inch parkerized blade. “Holy Moon Goddess! You look like you are going to war.” Rory squealed. I laughed at her energy. I look over at Aiden who is looking at me with some emotion I cannot name. The last thing I grab is my Kukri Machete. It’s eight inches long and completely black. There is only a thin silver lining along the edge. It’s great for combat, but I am going to slice through some of the targets. “Okay, I’m ready.”

I needed control. Another came at me. Two more. All in Stormrider black and steel. Their blades gleamed. Their loyalty stank of Selene and Varek. One lunged—too slow. I caught his wrist, twisted until the bone snapped, and drove his own dagger into his throat. The second swung from behind, but I ducked low and rammed my shoulder into his gut. He flew back, cracking against the stone pillar with a sound that echoed like thunder. I kept going.

In front of us is a red line, I guess its between the arena and it goes through the edges of the stage. "Squires, please get inside the red lines" A voice echoed the arena. The voice is only enough for this place to hear. Before I completely went inside the red line, I took my weapon. It's a 32 inches slender sword which is double bladed. The handle was color red with tint of black. After I successfully went inside the red line, I saw Luther and his weapon? A freaking KNIFE! Is he trying to mock me infront if everyone? "After the burst of flames subsides in front of you, you may start the fight!" The voice in the Arena continued.

I lift the knife and she starts screaming, making a high-pitched animal-type sound. “Shh,” I tell her and tighten my hold to keep her from wiggling free. She makes a gargling sound as she struggles for air. “You can start talking or I can start by removing your ear.” I loosen my hold just enough for her to breathe and then I touch the tip of the knife to her skin. She freezes. “Count of three and the bottom half comes off.” The last thing I planned to do was mess with one of the women. I’m making my stand, though, and each man and woman here needs to know I’m not fucking around. “No need to cut her. I know where it is,” Red says as she steps forward.

It only got louder and louder like a heartbeat pounding in my ear. I felt fear but I didn't know why. I felt like waiting and crying but I couldn't open my mouth. "They are coming, its rising, your almost out of time," it cried louder in pain. The darkness blinked and the horrific image of dead bodies flashed before my eyes. They were laid out in a strange way, blood dripping from their bodies and into the soil…deep into the soil. Red eyes watched me from the shadows. "Their coming," I screamed as I jolted awake.

Thrusting out Dragonbane, Adrian pierced through Shadowblade from above, causing the latter to scream in agony once more. Infuriated, Shadowblade swung a punch at Adrian, who swiftly retreated. "Marissa, lights!" Adrian commanded. The eagle screeched, and two beams of light shot from its eyes. This blinded Shadowblade, who screamed in agony as he clutched his eyes. Rozi and Adrian dove in from above and stabbed their swords through Shadowblade once more. His cries filled the air as Adrian and Rozi pulled their swords apart, splitting Shadowblade's body in two again.
