He asked seriously, "Dr. Quinn, have you heard of the Bloom Seeds?" What? Brandon shot up and trembled. "That's it! I knew it reminded me of something but couldn't place it. Yes, it must be the Bloom Seeds!" Zara quickly asked, "What are the Bloom Seeds?" Someone else answered her, "The Bloom Seeds are the signature technique of Sonny Balcom, who's ranked 12th among the Thirteen Aces and Dragonia's Super S-rank wanted criminals. "As the Circle of Hearts, he could inject an undetectable toxin that's painless and symptomless at first. Over time, it forms what we call a Bloom Seed in the victim's body.

"This crystal is called the Aria's Tears. It can only be found here in the capital and are considered remnants of all the previous Lahnthean Arias' grace." "Wow," Kiran gasped, impressed. The crystal looked like a raw quartz crystal. It didn't seem to have flower buds inside it though. "Do you put the flower buds inside the crystal?" The artisan smiled and shook her head. "Nope. The process of making that brooch is a secret, but I can tell you that no artisan can insert a flower into this crystal. It just magically appears, just as it magically blooms! It's one of the many miracles given to us by the Lahnthean Aria."

My heart beats wildly as I attempt to break the door down again . "Bloom!"I shout as my eyes land on a bathtub full of blood . The running water seeps out of the tub and the only thing I can see from a distance is her blonde hair floating . "Shit !"I curse as I pull her out from the bathtub and start to perform CPR. My wolf is pacing back and forth panicking because we might just lose the one person we love . "C'mon Bloom wake up ,"I plead as I put my lips on her performing CPR.

"These are the keys for the home that I had my people prepare for you and your family. Put a drop of your blood on the crystal now, and when you are at home, put a drop of blood on it from your wife and daughter. It will key you and your family to the wards on the Nexus." Erik said to Barakiel, who after hearing, immediately made a small cut on his finger and squeezed a drop of his blood on top of the blue crystal. As the blood touched the blue crystal, it was sucked inside it and the color of crystal changed from a semi-transparent blue to a semi-transparent bluish-gray with a yellow lightning in the middle of it.

But to Celeste’s trained eye, it would matter. “Damn it,” I muttered. Before he could protest, I grabbed the thermal clamp and adjusted the flow manually, recalibrating the cooling cycle. I’d spent the last few nights studying the Paraiba’s crystalline structure, reading Portuguese trade papers, watching old footage of miners describing the gem like it was alive. I knew its breaking point, literally and figuratively. Adrian froze. “You’re risking destabilizing the matrix, ” “Already calculated,” I snapped. My fingers turned the valve half a notch. The color steadied, holding its luminous blue instead of sinking into green.

Every breath came out labored, but I forced myself to stay calm. Exhaling sharply, I slowly opened my eyes and looked straight at him. "Scott, you're not exactly losing out here. After all, I slept with you." "Sleep with me?" he repeated coldly. His eyes narrowed dangerously as he thought of something. Suddenly, he wrapped his hands around my throat and growled, "You have a son. So where did the blood come from?" "Ugh!" A muffled groan escaped me as my airways constricted, but I managed to maintain a facade of composure. "In order to increase my chances of seducing you, I did a virgin restoration procedure."

Amber couldn't complete her words when Leonard abruptly stood up from the couch. "Fine...." He walked out a little and spoke through mind link with Alex to send a maid to his room. Amber had already mentioned bringing few important elements for the cleaning procedure. Within a minute a maid arrived with those required elements. Amber motioned her towards the bed and passed her an antiseptic that would be used to clean the open wounds. The maid carefully took the cotton to dab on those cuts to clean it. Every time those pieces of cotton touched her skin, Leonard noticed a small change in Iris's facial expression. Even in her unconscious state, she was feeling pain.

“Go and find some medicine to stop the bleeding!” The servant took off down the stairs, and Crystal went into the bathroom to grab a towel. When she returned, she asked Nathan to show her where he was injured. Much to her dismay, though, he waved her away dismissively. Then, after she refused to go, he grabbed her by the neck and began to squeeze. Crystal’s face turned red, and her eyes bulged. She could barely breathe. This is the end - she thought wildly. She could see murder in his eyes, and moments of her life flashed before her eyes.

The cracked crystal lay suspended in the center, rotating slowly, bleeding faint red light across the runes. Sylra stood beside me, hands trembling, holding the final catalyst—a silver dagger, its edge etched with ancient writing. “It’s your blood that anchors it,” she said quietly. “You know that.” “I do.” “And once you start, there’s no turning back.” I met her gaze. “There never was.” I took the blade and drew it across my palm.
