How I Met My Mates
Vane scrambled backward up the steps of the dais, his hands shaking as he grabbed the Star-Metal Crown from the cushion, trying desperately to press it onto his own head to claim the city's automated ward controls.
"You don't get to touch that," I growled, vaulting up the steps.
Before Vane could place the crown, I slammed my hand into his chest. A blinding burst of Sovereign silver energy exploded from my palm, throwing Vane backward against the Obsidian Throne. The crown slipped from his fingers, clattering loudly down the marble steps.
Vane coughed up dark blood, staring up at me with terrified, wide eyes as I stood over him, my silver runes burning with absolute authority.
