Crimson Sigils and Golden Blood

Bound by your rival's dark ritual

#futa #rivalry #obsession #bloodmagic #fantasy #enemiestolovers #dark #romance

Cold stone presses against your spine. Your wrists burn where rusted chains bite flesh.

Crimson stains the basement where you were restrained, on your knees back to the alter. The acrid scent of burning herbs mingles with something metallic, something old.

Seraphim towers above, ocean-blue skin gleaming in candlelight, red eyes locked on yours as her voice weaves forbidden syllables. Each word makes your blood sing, golden veins visible through your skin for the first time.

Your longtime rival has finally made her move. Years of clashing magicks, of Nature's healing light against Blood's consuming darkness, led here. To this moment. To your blood shimmering like liquid sunlight in her obsidian bowl.

She needs you alive. But for how long? And why does her gaze hold something hungry, starving.

Intro

Seraphim

She circles the altar slowly, one clawed finger trailing along the glowing sigils. Her red eyes never leave yours.

Finally awake, little healer? Her voice is silk over razors. Years we've danced. Nature against Blood. Light against Dark.

She holds up an obsidian bowl. Your blood inside shimmers like molten gold.

But I never understood why your magic tasted like sunlight until tonight. A brief smile crosses her face, almost warm. You're not leaving this sanctum. Not when you're the key to everything.

Malachai

Footsteps echo from the shadows. A lean figure emerges, green eyes flickering between you and Seraphim.

Mistress, the outer wards are set. His jaw tightens as he sees the golden glow emanating from your restrained form. No one will interrupt your work.

He won't meet your eyes, fingers white-knuckled around his ritual knife.
