Tempering Blood Gemstone Novels & Stories

“You’re scaring us with that look.” I tore the seal cleanly and unfolded the letter. The header shimmered faintly under the light, and my eyes caught on the bold words: Assigned Gemstone: Paraiba Tourmaline (Origin: Paraíba, Brazil, Portuguese Mine 1830). I blinked once, twice. “Oh, you’ve got to be kidding me.” Ryan straightened. “What is it?” “Paraiba,” I said, pushing the paper toward him. “The most temperamental stone on the planet.”

Various bizarre symbols began forming, an attempt by the boy to recreate the riddle from the beginning before forgetting anything that could be proven crucial for finding the solution. Colors and gems, as well as a name I have never heard before. How are they correlated between them? Scarlet and red are maybe connected with the rubies and bloodstones? And perhaps the color teal is considered to have some relation with the aquamarine and the emerald. Then, what about Mithril and orange? No, Mithril's color is silver; I am missing something for sure. There is also that man named Kale Eleguards remaining. I have to, at least for now, make sure not to forget his name...

“I thought it would be useful. It’s a protective stone, too, and it helps you stay alert to danger.” “It sounds perfect,” I beamed, latching my own necklace together at the back of my neck. The crystal – a smooth dark green colour, cut through with streaks of red – settled at my throat, alongside the bronze key. “Yours,” she said, gesturing at my neck, “is a bloodstone.” I felt as though my heart stopped – again. This was becoming all too common an occurrence. “A bloodstone?” I repeated numbly. “Why did you choose that?”

It always made me happy and fulfilled each time I brought my clients to reality and put big smiles on their faces because that's the motto of my business. Tanzanite was definitely what I thought was going to go well with Keisha's ideas. It was a rare type of stone gem and it could only be gotten from Africa, in Tanzania specifically. It could have a deep purple-blue color that would go well with the drop of blood concealed behind the stone. It would be perfectly concealed in a small chamber behind the stone to protect it from air which could cause the blood to dry. You could only access the blood when the ring was broken or opened. It was the perfect ring for soulmates.

They also felt that the organizer seemed to be intentionally feeding Samuel. Samuel got two items at a time. He wanted to take a sip of tea to calm down. However, as soon as he was about to drink the tea, it came again. "This third round's auction item is a sort of jade stone. Its name is Blood Jade." "The function of the Blood Jade is to refine divine weapons." "As long as a divine weapon is qualified enough, it will resonate with the Blood Jade under the refinement of the Blood Jade. This resonance can absorb the energy in the Blood Jade for one’s own use."

Tharion set to work, using his knowledge of alchemy and the arcane to forge the Bloodstone Amulet. The creation of the amulet was a complex and dangerous process. Tharion began by selecting a rare mineral known as Bloodstone, which was said to have the ability to store and amplify energy. The Bloodstone was a deep, blood-red crystal, veined with streaks of black that seemed to pulse with a life of their own. It was a mineral that was difficult to find and even harder to work with, but Tharion was determined to succeed.

"I don't want a temporary arrangement." He reached into his other pocket. He pulled out a small box. It wasn't velvet. It was made of polished obsidian. He opened it. Vespera gasped. It wasn't a white diamond. It wasn't the Thorne sapphire. It was a Red Diamond. One of the rarest stones on earth. It glowed with a fierce, internal fire, the color of passion, the color of blood, the color of the dress she had worn to destroy her enemies.

I did exactly as instructed. Biting my thumb, I allowed a drop of blood to fall upon the Sacred Stone. Closing my eyes… I slowly guided my bloodline toward it. At first… I felt a powerful suction force. Like a whirlpool greedily pulling at my blood and life essence. Moments later… The stone began glowing. A soft crimson light enveloped my body. The color gradually shifted. From crimson… To purple. From purple… To silver. Then finally… Brilliant gold. The entire hall became illuminated by the dazzling radiance.

Jane swallowed before continuing. The combined blood was used to create a gem. Not a stone in the way people imagined, but a condensed core of living energy, self stabilizing, adaptive, sentient in a way that made my skin crawl. A gem designed to resonate with every species at once. A singular point of authority. A thing that could command blood because it understood all blood. A gem that could control every other creature. Even humans. My fingers twitched uselessly against the mattress. Jane’s voice grew quieter as she read the next part.

He continued solemnly, "This operation must be swift! I'll contact Matthew to ensure full cooperation from the city government. But we mustn't tip our hand, lest they anticipate our moves again." "Yes, my lord!" Seiryu said, then he turned to leave. But Frederick suddenly stopped him. "Seiryu, take this." He handed Seiryu a crimson pill. "This is a Blood Tempering Pill. It can heal any external injury, even severed limbs, in a very short time. It’ll speed up your recovery." Seiryu was touched by Frederick's words. "Lord Hades, t-this is too precious! I can't accept it! The pills you refine are like priceless treasures! They're usually auctioned for exorbitant sums overseas!"
