Chapter Twenty-Four Seeing Dante in pain made Tani forget he could have used a simple teleport to get him onto the living room couch. He only realized it once Nora, Kinon, and he had laid Dante there and made sure he was comfortable. Nora brought a pair of scissors and cut away the sleeve of Dante’s T-shirt. Tani gasped at the sight of the kara ot crystals squirming beneath Dante’s skin, forming a disturbing black scar—like ink poured under his flesh—that snaked along his right arm.

Chapter Twenty-Three Zal charged forward, every muscle burning with the relentless determination forged from years of pain, sacrifice, and desperation. He had poured his heart, soul, and sanity into transcending the cruel limits of his bloodline, molding power from the merciless dark. He gripped his black crystal sword until his knuckles whitened, the blade humming fiercely with the corrosive fury he had so painstakingly harnessed. Anit stood unarmed, save for deceptively fragile vines

Chapter Twent-Two Nora Arturo was at a loss for words. She had arrived home at five in the evening, returning from a visit with her best friend in town, only to find Artri House trembling. Upon stepping inside, the house seemed to guide her straight to the kitchen and out through the open back door. In the backyard, she discovered three visitors lounging on her garden benches. The trio stood as soon as they saw her, and she could scarcely fathom the shock that seized her. She never wou

Chapter Twenty-One Tani frowned at his elder bushes. He was beginning to realize the futility of trying to keep them trimmed, given the numerous ekho creatures that visited his home. With a scoff, he turned around and found Sunu—his father—standing in the middle of the library, staring up at the mural on the ceiling. “Cale’s painting skills have improved,” Sunu said. “He has quite the memory; this mural is remarkably accurate.” “He restored it a few weeks ago,” Amu said, coming cl

Chapter Twenty Tani signed the documents his lawyers needed after listing his assets and deciding who got what. Now that his calamity was coming to an end, as Dante had said, he had to start thinking about the future. He would leave the residence to Hera and her descendants, while Tom would look after the fortress with Uncle Amu’s help. Tani was rereading the last page after signing when a wave of distress from Dante hit him—fear, really, which was strange, because Dante was exceptiona

The penguin man held out his hand in agreement, and said, "Deal." Jason took the offered hand with a pleased grin. "I'm Jason." "Adam," the penguin man said. "So, what are capybaras and why do you wanna find them?"

Chapter Nineteen It was raining when Tani and Dante went to bed at the cottage on Thursday. Tani had spent most of the afternoon reinforcing the barrier around the orchard to keep mortals out. The apples growing on the trees were not easy to consume, which was why he gave them to Selene. She knew where to sell them, and there were those who needed them. Dante moved to cover them with the sheets, but Tani stopped him. “Close your eyes,” Tani said, moving Dante’s hand away from the cov

Chapter Eighteen Tani gasped, tears flooding his eyes when a well that had run empty for centuries filled with everything—everything. Dante’s fire flooded into the missing half of Tani’s soul, sealing the emptiness and restoring what Tani had once given away, making him whole again. The power locked away inside Tani broke the boundaries of the cuffs, and he tightened his arms around Dante as it flooded his veins with the force of a jet engine. Tani grunted softly, feeling like he might

Arc 2: The Case of the Belladonna Poisoned Palace Maid Ch 7 Raithion watched the Sura ship disappear on the horizon, and a soft sigh escaped. He wished for the millionth time that he and Azula had a better ending. There was a harrowing rawness to their separation that left him filled with anger. He wanted to return to the capital city and defy his father and the Basileus. He would clear the Sura Clan and hope to see Azula’s cheerful smile again. But, he could not do that, not with hi

Chapter Three – Lunch with His Beloved Eighth Sister “Noona,” Jae said, studying his sister. They were at Restaurant Blue, and the chef was already working hard on their orders. The manager chose to sit them in a private dining room with a round table. So Jin sat next to Jae, with Andre to her immediate left. His sister looked out of sorts. Jae wondered if something had happened at home that made her look for him during her lunch hour. “Noona?” Jae waved his hand in front

Part 6 I Can't Stop Thinking About You The pain meds Axel prescribed were quite helpful. Jeha adjusted the arm sling on his right shoulder and nodded when Ryan adjusted his suit jacket to cover his left arm. Ryan secured the suit's coat on his shoulder with a concealed pin, holding the coat in place. It looked like a fashion choice, but if anyone looked too closely, they would wonder why Jeha protected his left arm. "This works for the meeting with the Spaniard," Ryan said.

Arc 2: The Case of the Belladonna Poisoned Palace Maid 6 Good fortune and smart spending allowed Gesi Ajai to own a home on a quiet street near the palace. It was a neighborhood where most palace officials lived, allowing wives to form groups and children to keep the right company. Gesi appreciated the pretentiousness of Crystal Lane. It came in handy now, with his daughter’s marriage ceremony in preparation. Officials from various ministries sent gifts and stopped to talk, offeri

5 The sun was already fading on the sea’s horizon. The Sura Clan’s ship was well-tended and busy. The crew was loading cargo into the hold. Azula had mentioned that the ship would sail back to Sura Island once they were ready. Raithion stood at the top of the gangplank watching the sun dip down on the horizon. The calm seas in the distance were enticing. He suddenly wanted to join Azula’s crew and discover what Sura Island looked like. Perhaps sail beyond the island to find what

Chapter Seventeen At the Inter Clan Court in Anit’s Taesi, Amu led Cale and Eren through intricate hallways filled with ministry officials and peacekeepers. Cale held his aura tight, aware of the members of the Five Sentinels lurking in the shadows. They watched him with wary intentions. Cale understood their concerns. He was not an easy guest to have in such an independent place. Anit was cautious with his kind. He was sure the sentinels who watched him were from the most powerful of

Can Our Worlds Meld? Axel watched Jeha when he asked his question. Jeha’s blue eyes were difficult to ignore, but what was more interesting was that Jeha’s expression was blank. There was nothing to read, nothing to decipher. Axel decided this was not the first time someone had asked Jeha if he was a mob boss. Axel frowned. The butterflies in his stomach turned sour. Why did he feel so deflated at the prospect of Jeha as a mob boss? Axel had hoped, maybe, t

@akascrubber hanging out in my outline is so awesome, love it Thanks for reading. @Cane23 Azula feels the same. @Danilo Syrtis Thanks for catching my sentence structure issues. I've made the necessary changes. Gesi was the one that was twenty-three not Sazama. Thank you so much for taking the time.

4 “Sir,” Azula said, facing the magistrate of the Naga Port Town. “I’m here to report a series of thefts.” “Yes, you’ve already said that,” the magistrate said, his attention on the bowl of grapes on the desk before him. He sorted them out, one by one, removing skins and piling them on a small saucer. Azula frowned at the habit. Who peeled grapes? The magistrate’s office was a hall with six other desks arranged around the room. Six officers sat at their desks, each one b

Jeha’s Delinquents Jeha passed out before they reached their destination. Axel checked his vitals with a deep frown. “What is it?” Ryan asked from the front passenger seat. Ryan held a walkie-talkie, and his attention was on the black SUVs ahead of them. Axel assumed he was talking to his colleagues, so he worked on resting Jeha’s head back against the backseat. He checked Jeha’s left wrist and was glad to discover an expensive watch. He removed it from Jeha’s wrist and

3-1 Magnus rode his horse like a man possessed when he received news of Azula’s plan to counter the robberies plaguing the clan. He rode fast on busy cobbled paths, his assistant shouting warnings to save anyone who did not notice his haste. Yaitan’s workshop was where Azula managed his devious plans. The young man was probably stirring up a large force of trouble. The thought of the consequences had Magnus urging his horse into a faster pace. Yaitan’s workshop was hidden in a cav

Ch 2-1 A majestic mountain stood in the middle of the Sura Island. Under this mountain, a series of tunnels existed. These tunnels were built in the hundreds of years the Sura Clan had called the island home. Generations came, passed their knowledge to the youngsters, and moved on. Youngsters grew up and taught the next generation. The cycle continued until mining and working with ore became a way of life for the Sura. The Sura Clan lived with deep loyalties to family. Theirs was a com

Axel Wakes up to a Rude Surprise Axel left the hospital on Friday morning with only three goals. Food, shower, and sleep. Axel stopped at the restaurant in front of his building because he knew the chef. It was early, but she always had ingredients in her pantry for him. Chef Suzie took one look at him and came out minutes later with his usual order of Thai chicken soup and a veggie sandwich to go with it. He thanked her with a grin and blew her a kiss. Food dealt with,

Arc 1: The Case of the Forged Silver Coins Chapter 1 -1 The air was rife with the scent of burning wood, baking bread, fried fish, and fresh wood shavings. All of it mixed in the wind, but the baker crossing the cobbled street paid no mind to these mixed scents. He was used to them, having worked in the busy markets of the capital city, Genad, all his life. Instead, he hurried into the exchange bureau with a spring in his step. The baker carried four bags filled with silver from h
