The chain was adjustable, allowing Aqua to wear the pendant at just the right length so that it rested over her heart. As she wore it, Aqua noticed the stone's clarity, reflecting her calm and balanced state of mind. Whenever she felt at peace, the pendant remained clear and pristine. However, when her emotions stirred, the pendant would change. A slight hue of blue appeared when she felt sadness, while a warm golden tone emerged during moments of happiness. If anger or fear took hold of her, the gemstone would darken, turning a deep, unsettling black.

Jade was surprised that even Amarok, who was more than interested in anything his mate was involved in, was not interested in touching this special necklace that belonged to his mate. "NO! You definitely canNOT touch it, Jade!!" Before he even had a chance to consider about touching it, Caroline's stern voice rang out starting him. But when she caught his curious look she heaved a sigh and started explaining putting the tray away. "This necklace belonged to Onica. She received it as a marking gift from Adrian. This pendant is a single Painite Gemstone and it is said to be one of the rarest gems in the world. And the floral arrangements around... those are made of pure silver... and... this n

Along the interior rim, a molten vein of alchemical glass - a deep ember-red - runs like a breathing heartbeat. Five asymmetrically placed black obsidian shards jut skyward, each carved into a razor’s edge, catching the light like falling stars. Threaded between the obsidian, pale moonstones glow with inner fire. Tiny silver filaments trace lunar phases around each gem. Across the front arch, grandfather inscribed a spiral of war-runes in obsidian ink. Flanking each temple are low-relief engravings of a phoenix’s upraised wing, rendered in platinum flash, mirroring Emberlance’s imagery. The crown’s underside is padded with midnight-blue silk from the Veiled Looms of Varistith. Finally, a hid

"Mr. Lloyd, here is the Helioheart Gem you asked for." Andrew accepted it, opened the lid, and nodded. "I've heard this gem once absorbed a single drop of phoenix blood. It's supposed to be perfect for suppressing icy malevolent energy, right?" Diego quickly smiled fawningly. "That's correct. This is precisely the Helioheart Gem's function. Not only is it useful for suppressing icy malevolent energy, but during regular practice, one can also use its effects to nourish the energy core and strengthen the meridians!"

Papa said sternly with his arms across his chest. I sighed and nodded for Azalea to bring the damn tiara over. Papa insisted that we had to. Kai and Xander had no problems with their gold and silver headbands, but I did not feel all that enthusiastic about wearing a tiara. The tiara was absolutely stunning though. It was a silver and gold band that were weaved together. There were gems of all colors that situated within the dips and curves of the tiara. Papa explained that they were Fae Blood Gems. They got their color by the color of the blood of different kinds of Fae. However, their magic was blocked, making them unusable for spells. Apparently, the magic found in Fae blood was very power

The surface of the gem is glowing with streaks of black and purple lights, and just watching the swirls slithering all over the gem makes my blood freeze in my veins. “What's this?” I croak, the sight of the gem also pulling at me, drawing me in like a bloodsucking leech. “This is one of my most prized possessions,” Thanox answers, his eyes shining with amusement. “This gem is a delicate treasure from the realm I come from, and I love calling it the Hunger Darling. For you, this gem has the infinite power to enhance your pathetic little wolf powers, making you stronger and more powerful than any she-wolf in the world.”

Smoke rose in tendrils from open-air stalls where meats sizzled and spices filled the air with an intoxicating perfume. Samarth and Inayat emerged from the jewel seller’s shop, her fingers still brushing the pendant resting over her heart. It was carved from the finest Alexandrite, a stone that shifted its hues under different lights—green by day, red by night. Just like the quiet war within her. Samarth had paid the jeweler in gold coins, heavy and old, etched with his crest. Inayat mounted Cyclone, the white stallion, but her gaze lingered on Samarth as he secured his own steed.

“By flame and moon. By blood and bond. Let what was chosen be unmade. Let the fragile, fumbling choices of a confused heart be undone. Let what was bound be loosed. Let the pathetic, weak threads of their wolf-kin bond unravel. Let her heart forget the names that came before mine. Let her memory be cleansed of their touch, their scent, their false affection.” The bloodstone pendant, held aloft in my hand, pulsed with a soft, angry red light, mirroring the glow of the runes on my skin. A faint crack appeared on its surface, then another, spiderwebbing outwards. The stone cracked down the middle with a sharp, sickening sound, like a heartbeat shattering, a violation of its very essence.

Meanwhile, Adrian came to my side, and looking at me with more questions, he picked me in his arms. «she needs a doctor, now,» he said and escorted me to the open room, Atlas’s room. I held on to him, it felt weird, he was angry, warm, and afraid, and fear radiate out of him. He placed me on the bed and I felt a bolt of pain in my left arm where the wound was healing, making me scream my heart out; I looked at my hand, seeing black veins covering the wound. «What is that?» asked Hunter. The pain was unbearable, but I knew what was this, black blood, I have been marked.

"I did not keep you safe." "Just keep it. It's an Ibawi Gem. It will give you light whenever you need it. Only few Ibawnons possess such thing." She drank her tea while looking at nowhere. V looked at her confusingly. He wanted to asked further about the Ibawi Gem but diverted the topic to another. "So, what did your Mamang said about last night? That you're going crazy?" He laughed slightly with his own joke but Ligaya did not bother to react. "She said that I should perform an Abuhanon ritual or the ritual for distraction. That's what I did earlier.
