Novel & Cerita Six Crimson Cranes 2

"That's the Bloodcrane Spiritbloom?" "Yes." The geezer laughed heartily and smugly. "I spent years honing my skill for this, and it's really taxing, combining the motifs of a crane and a flower. It's not just the Bloodcrane Spiritbloom—whether it's the Yellowcrane Spiritbloom, the Whitecrane Spiritbloom, or the Blackcrane Spiritbloom, I can make anything you want. "Since the ancients claim that the cranes are spirit animals and blood cranes prevent disasters, you can put a circlet of the Bloodcrane Spiritbloom around the decreased head, and even Hades wouldn't dare to mess with you."

Alexis waited like forever to hear what crimson have for her because she knows what her smirk is saying. "Well, I just ordered for a fertilizer farm to open where animals will be rear there, and whenever they defecate, it is your duty Alexis to store the shits for us and since you are so brave to take over the pack, I'm sure you don't need anyone's help In storing the shits for us." Crimson exclaimed and smirked, her eyes fixed on Alexis, Alexis looked like she will explode.

And Crimson was bleeding before the first battle even began. ....

My head snapped up to her once more, seeing the pity had faded and turned to concern. “What do you mean? How can things get worse?” I frown wondering how things could possibly be any worse than they already were. “Crane just turned up with a dozen men.” I could tell by the look on Ruby’s face that she wasn’t joking, even though I wish she were. Her eyes glazed over, and her words trembled, “He wants to take you back to the Crimson Pack.” “What? Now!” I all but scream. “What about the renegades?” Weren’t they here to help us, what were they doing if not fighting back Crane?

Unless Zante allowed me to live on the territory and maybe I might meet my mate. “No. We have everything we need here since when we’re you so defeated. Remember what you wrote in your diary” Crimson purred in my mind. She was right though, I had everything I needed, and I wasn’t about to give it up for anyone, not even their mate. Crimson was begging for me to shift, making arms have a coating of her and my claws extended. She needed to run but I couldn’t trust her to not run to find the men. Sensing this she turns her back on me and disappears into the back of my mind.

White cranes danced in the sky above, while spirit apes frolicked on the ground. Dozens of protruding small mountains surrounded the mountain range like stars surrounding the moon, each adorned with cliffs and peculiar peaks. On the cliffs, phoenixes sang in harmony, while unicorns rested alone before the cliffs. Within the forests, there were immortal deer and celestial foxes, and in the trees, there were spiritual birds and celestial cranes.

⸻ The image darkened. The Crimson One stepped away from his brothers. ⸻ Toward a glowing object hidden beneath the earth. ⸻ A crystal. ⸻ Dark red. ⸻ Beautiful. ⸻ Wrong. ⸻ The moment he touched it— Everything changed. ⸻ The vision exploded. ⸻ Darkness spread across the world. ⸻ Cities burned. ⸻ Wars erupted. ⸻ Entire kingdoms fell. ⸻ The Crimson One watched it all with fascination.

Chapter 33: Her Touch Was Louder Than the Screams The sky outside hadn't gone back to normal. If anything, the red seam looked angrier now — thicker, like a scar splitting wider, pulsing faintly as if it had a heartbeat. The light leaking from it wasn't just eerie anymore; it was unnatural. Wrong. Casting flickers of red through the blinds that made the walls look like they were bleeding.

“I’d strip first.” “Erm… what about the bandag-” but before Klara could finish her sentence all her bones broke at once, she let out a cry but before Marc could grab her, her husky wolf burst through her skin. “You couldn’t wait two seconds?” Marc looked down knowing Klara wasn’t in control. Her light and dark grey head shook in a no. “We won’t be able to speak to each other… you still need to pledge loyalty to the crown.” Klara’s wolf head nodded, noting to Klara that they needed to do that. Marc turned from her to pull his clothes off, not that he cared, but he didn’t want to embarrass her. He allowed his wolf’s body to replace his skin, then turned, allowing his wolf control.

Chris grunted. Ignoring Chris's whining, "I know where our stolen shipments are." "What, how?" He put a long silver case on the table. Inside the case were various weapons intricately designed. "I take pride in introducing something revolutionary for the Crimson Clan, Gen-CW01. Genetically coded weapons developed by yours truly. These are prototypes but efficient nevertheless." We were in awe. "When did you have time to do this?" "Come on, it's me you're talking to. Nothing can get in my way when I set my mind on something."
