I say, my voice trembling but resolute. The goddess’s smile is tinged with both pride and sorrow. She reaches out, her touch cool and steady, blessing me with a strength that feels ancient and wild. “So be it, Amara. You have chosen the harder path, but it is yours to walk. Remember, even in your darkest pain, the moon will guide you. Your light will change the world. You will not remember this meeting until the time is right”

Because it's true I look down at my hands, they're shaking, not from fear but the amount of restraint and power I'm holding back. My claws tear into my palms, my eyes gaze at the piece of cloth in my arm, the scent is fading, almost gone. If it disappears, I pray I disappear with it. Dax clears his throat carefully. “There's a Tier- one facility on the border.” he continues. “It's called the sanctuary.” “They have reinforced isolation suites,” he continues. “Titanium and silver walls, soundproofed and no omega unless requested.” I close my eyes, Finn says. “Just a place to weather the storm.” I close my eyes, breathing hard, body trembling, I need to leave now. “Prepare the transport.”

Halfway in, big black letters jump out. VEMOD. “Dominate vessels, take any face, any voice. Feeds on fear and lust. My hands go ice cold but then I hear footsteps in the hall. I shove the book inside my shirt, tuck it in my waistband, and stand just as the door opens. Samantha steps in carrying dirty sheets. She freezes when she sees me. “Oh. I thought the room was empty. I came to get the laundry.” I don’t move. “Just finishing up.”

Anahita Waterwolf POV We waterwolves have resettled on the banks of the Dream River that runs through the place once known as the Barren. Though to use the word 'barren' in relation to this magnificent place feels ridiculous. Many mornings I sit on the balcony of the packhouse, before the pack stirs, gazing out at the churning, roiling, foaming waves of the river, its banks densely packed with rich, dark mud. The colours of the river at dawn--blue, mauve, purple, indigo, green--remind me of the lifestone and that night when the poison was driven out. The lifestone disappeared, it's work done. And Silvia's iron--the physical iron anyway--was also gone.

As they walked through the valley, Sari said, “Your friend, he is a good man. But he is also a bomb. Which will explode." Shieena felt a sharp pain in her chest and looked at the goblin in disbelief: “But I thought you fixed him? You said he was ready." Sari stopped and said with a sad look in his eyes: “No Shieena. Some souls cannot be mended. I just extended the fuse. A child, torn from his mother at an early age, unloved by his father, betrayed by a woman he loved more than life, and manipulated by an evil creature that fuelled

Humanitas erit sacrificium si non sanguinis humani aestus avertere. He points to the section with the word Geminis. I read it out loud, “For destiny and The Creator cannot change that which is meant to be. Gemini shall be divided. One of death and destruction. The Devil shall lose his love, and humanity shall be lost. Only humanity shall be a sacrifice, if it were not in the blood of humanity, to turn the tide.” My throat clogs, and my voice stutters at the mention of the devil losing his love. Fallon places his hand on my shoulder as if to keep me grounded.

His bodysuit then evaporated the impurities with its self-cleaning function. After a few minutes he woke up, "Oh my God, Oh my God, my mana," he called forth some mana on his hands in the form of black sand. It swirled around his hand like a mini-tornado. There was some silver like glitter in it. "Your mana, it's so thick and so powerful, it almost doubled in density," commented Libia.

There were cords which ran from the tangled image, stretching from it one way upward and the other down into the depths of the library's hidden chambers. 'What is he doing?' She watched him as he took a breath and slowly exhaled. As he did, there came a faint glow from beneath his palm. He removed his hand from the patterned wall, and she saw the shimmering light like liquid gold as it began to fill the carvings of a careful craftsman. The light flowed from the center of the pattern, making its way through the channels to the outside of the detailed stonework and out through the cords, carried by them in either direction. There was a strange warmth to this beautiful light, and it was as a ri

Nicolai asked for help. The man in silver suit who was about to walk pass them suddenly stopped. His hearing didn't make a joke of him right? He slowly looked back and he started trembling. His palm sweat as his heart race. That figure, that look, even after 5 years, he knows, he still can recognize him. "Wen-wen?!" Author Note: Sorry, I didn't update yesterday because of my headache.
