The Runesmith Mga Nobela at Kwento

A question popped in my mind, how she is going to open them without a grip or handle to help with. My curiosity turned to awe when the next second I got the answer to my question. Anemia placed her palm over the crafting engraved over the doors which were called runes. She murmurs something softly under her breath which my human hearing doesn't catch. The next minute the runes turn out alive with the purple light shimmering in it and with a mechanic sound doors shoot open to give us away.

“Seren. What is pulling you.” I hesitated. Then I told the truth. “The rune is calling me.” He growled. “No. It is bait.” “It wants my touch.” “Because he wants your power.” “We knew this,” I said softly. “We did,” he answered. “But we are ending it tonight.” We moved closer. The light grew brighter until it spilled across the snow like shattered ice. When we finally stepped past the last set of trees, the full shape revealed itself. The rune stood carved into an enormous slab of stone, twice my height and wider than a wagon. Blue fire pulsed across its surface in slow waves. Symbols cut into the stone glowed like veins. The air above it trembled.

Rune. In the bustling atmosphere of the pack's medical facility, Rune, still processing the revelation of her pregnancy, sought medical confirmation from Chris, the pack's doctor. The scent of antiseptic and the low hum of conversations surrounded them as Rune navigated the unfamiliar territory, her steps echoing with a mix of determination and trepidation. Entering Chris's office, Rune greeted her nervously. Chris, accustomed to the diverse range of emotions accompanying pack members seeking medical advice, offered a reassuring smile amidst the clinical surroundings.

Rune. Rune is Nora's bodyguard, assigned to her after her kidnapping and the threat against wealthy families in our social circle. He's ex-military, six foot four of solid muscle and absolutely loyal to our family. "Nobody's going anywhere," Rune's voice carries up the stairs. "Mr. Meliś will want to speak with you." Jackson helps me stand, his arm around my waist as we make our way downstairs. My legs feel shaky but they hold.

I ask while my fingers keep flying across the keypad as plans for hydroponic gardens and greenhouses, which is strange too. "I saved the best for last," Theo says, and I can hear the grin in his voice while Charity looks at me with a sly smile, "There is a reason our pack is named Silver Run... Our pack sits on a giant silver reserve in Pennsylvania. It's in everything from the soil to the water." "Okay," I say, not making the connection he wants me to, as I look between him and Charity, waiting for them to explain why this is important or helpful. "Wait...doesn't wolfsbane also grow in the mountains found in Pennsylvania as well?"

The aura this red-eyed man was emanating was too much for my poor soul. Listening to what my father said, I realized he was in debt, once again! Now that he had no money, what was he going to trade? I wondered as I thought back to a pendant of mine he had almost snatched when he was in debt, claiming it could also pay his debt. That day was a day worth recalling… “And what are you going to use to pay me? Be quick about it, my patience is so little,” Mr. red eye said, and I noticed the nonchalant expression he had on. One look at that expression told me that killing was a piece of cake for him.

“I have nullified most of its effects, do not worry. The cloth in my hand isn't a normal one. She reached her hand out, and I could see a shiny thread embroidering the cloth upon which the purple dark object sat. My breath caught and I leaned in closer, my eyes catching the embroidery, not into stars, flowers or anything that spoke of fashion, but symbols, some of them foreign, others familiar but hard for me to understand their significance. “Runes.” Elder Miriam’s voice was heavy. “Soon, I will teach the art of making them to you, just like this sachet, runes can be affixed on anything to channel power, be it good and protective… or terrible, chaotic power to consume.” I shivered, clearing

“Close to Damien. I need eyes outside these walls. I need leverage. And when it is time, I need blades.” “You will have them,” Marcus said. “Dozens of us lost everything when the Voss pack fell. We have been waiting. For you.” The call ended with new protocols and the promise of more names. A small network began to form. Hidden wolves. Former allies who had been cast out. Even a few Blackthorns who hated Damien’s rule. I ended the call and sat still, breath uneven. The memory of him mixed with the thrill of the plan. My hand moved without thought, pressed against my skirt, and I forced it away.

“HEY, RUNE, HAVE YOU MET this Sven Rosworth in person? I mean, your best friend is working for him, right?” Rune turned to Riven De Villalune who was sitting beside her. He was the youngest member of Tactica’s Cyber Security Team and came from Ivslight, the realm of the humans. Calix brought him here to set up the materials for this meeting. She frowned when she saw the crooked, black-rimmed glasses that almost cover his face. She fixed it for him and the young man mumbled a ‘thank you’.

She muttered, excusing herself into the bath chambers. ***************** The cool evening breeze brushed across her face, as she listened to Khol'an tell her everything about rune crafting, while she pushed his wheelchair from behind. "So, basically, it's more like a magic command carved into something?" Rebekah asked. “Yes.” Khol’an said gently. “A rune is like giving power a job to do. You carve what you want it to be, and once it’s awakened by the moon or blood, it sticks to that task. It can guard a place, hold something in, or keep danger away. That’s why runes are safer than most magic spells. They don’t act on emotion or anger. They only do what they were made to do, and nothing more.
