Novel & Cerita Shadowsinger Azriel Acotar

A sharp sound made her stop, and Sylvia turned around toward the direction of the sound. Aria noticed how Sylvia’s expression changed into fury, hard and cold. Aria knew that look. Sylvia was kind, patient someone who never got angry easily. There was only one person in this house who could make her blood boil like that. Adrian. He cleared his throat as his voice filled with mock innocence. “Water. I need water.” His gaze was fixed on Sylvia, a slow smirk playing at his lips. Sylvia’s jaw clenched, but she moved, filling a glass. When she placed it on the table in front of him, it wasn’t gentle.

“You cannot resist what was born with you. You will either destroy them… or destroy yourself.” Aiden’s chest tightened. “He’s not just fighting them… he’s fighting himself.” --- The Serpents’ Leader Emerges From the shadows, a figure emerged, larger than any other, clad in black and gold, carrying a staff tipped with a glowing blue crystal—the source of Darius’ command over the Serpents. Darius smirked. “Meet the master… the real puppet master.” Aiden’s stomach turned. “Who the hell is that?” The figure stepped forward. The energy around it was palpable, bending the very air. “I am Azrael,” he said. “And I’ve been waiting a long time for you, Luca.”

“What the hell is going on? These men dragged me from my apartment. Please tell me what’s happening!” Freya couldn’t speak. Tears were already running down her cheeks. Azrael emerged from the shadows near the altar. Tall, impossibly perfect, wearing only black pants. His muscular torso was bare, eyes glowing blood red in the candlelight. He looked like sin given flesh. Sophie screamed when she saw him. Azrael moved fast. He grabbed Sophie by the throat and slammed her down onto the large stone altar at the front of the church, right beneath the broken crucifix. “Freya,” he said calmly, voice dripping with dark pleasure, “strip your sister. Slowly. I want you to feel every second of this.”

One swung at a creature, the metal slicing straight through its smoky form—but the shadow only split apart and reformed again, lunging forward. Another soldier shouted something I couldn’t make out before being swallowed by the haze. I couldn’t move. My body refused to listen. My heart hammered so hard it hurt, and all I could do was stare at the nightmare unfolding before me. A strong hand suddenly grabbed my arm, yanking me backward just as one of the shadowy things reached for me. I gasped and spun around—Corin. His face was grim, his jaw tight, his eyes glowing a fierce green in the half-light. “ Liora, what are you doing out here?” he shouted over the chaos.

“And for the record, for the most powerful lycan king in four territories, you are really blind to what is right in front of you.” Azriel. No. He’s not possible. Has he been a spy all along? “He’s not lying, I can’t sense any lie,” Nina said in my head. As I tried to wrap my head around the revelation, Axel moved. I could have sworn that I didn’t see him move, nor did I know when he took the sword in my hand from me. He raised his free hand so high that I wondered what he was doing, but the blast that came with the raised hand was a whole lot, one bright enough that it superseded Vera’s.

However part of me had always suspected that there was a greater reason for deathly silence that followed me or my fathers memory around. Mr Streeter steps forward and takes my hand in his “Do you Avalon Taylor, accept your transition from trainee to hunter, promise to protect the innocent at all cost, and pledge to do what you must to rid this world of the creatures who inhabit it.” “I do.” My voice rings out, echoing off the walls. I felt a sharp string across my hand. Looking down I watch as the blood wells up from the open wound across my hand.

the dragon seemed to roar Ariet name for a long time only to receive a calm and full of gratitude look from the strongest Archmage of the world Ariet L'Caster. "Elish doesn't be too foolish to believe in the Raziel ... Take care of our Aysha; she is very naive... Ciel is a good person... you should value him more... Ah, at least were you who ended this torment... I can die in peace now..." Ariet voice was too soft and let a warm sensation, but every few phrases, he vomited blood, that is a painful image.

Still, while it didn't show outwardly, he was known for his treachery and was not to be trusted. After all, he bore the curse of lycanthropy from Zeus himself; a punishment meted out when Lycaon killed and served his own son as a meal for the gods. “Lilith, Lycaon,” Paoli greeted the Coven heads and bowed formally once they were situated before the dais. “Paoli, it's been a long time since you came before Us,” Lilith purred, using the plural form to represent the entire entity of the Coven.

“I’m just glad we haven’t been giving the new ones any wolfsbane. Who knows? Maybe they’ll learn to control it on their own.” Gray nods and offers Bo a wide grin. “Maybe. They’ll be a hell of a lot better than us if they do.” We all know the truth though. Lycanthropy is a curse. There is no way to control it. Not on the full moon. “Come,” Bo says, knocking me out of the dooming thought of our near future. He puts a hand on my back, lightly guiding me to start walking. “Alazaer is down by twin hills, waiting for the others to come back,” he tells us.

The water slashes through my skin, the cold rendering a numbness through my cheeks. I get back on the surface, sleeking my hair behind, and taking in a deep breath. Azrael walks down the same path, the men behind him following the same pattern of shedding themselves on every circle. The moon shines over his head, accentuating his features. His hair is damp and pulled away from his forehead, and only stray strands fall in his eyes that cast a shadow down his face. The pale complexion of his skin stands bold reflecting the silver of the night, as his eyes turn a shade of violet, with golden lights dusting them.
