" So we're just going to...Bleed on it?" Larkin asks in a skeptical tone as we walk.


" Sounds like it." Suri chimes in sounding just as unamused.


" Will you guys just shut up? If you have any other ideas on how to raise the wards please...throw them out.." Garrick chides from the side of Xaden. " From all the years I've known you I've never heard an Idea."


" We never had access to the journals or a Tauri to open the gates for us." Felix quips making my eyes roll.


We thought of Xaden, myself, Garrick, Bohdi, Felix, Larkin, Suri, Brennan and Hetta to try bleeding to hopefully raise the wards... Fortuna please help us...


If we can somehow raise them we'd be on the right track to win this thing hopefully... This and the murmurs of the Luminary we still need though everytime I hear something it's an hushed whisper, when I ask Xaden he shuts me down. When I ask Brennan or anyone else here... I'm supposed to talk to Xaden about it.


" Where are we even going?" Hetta asks walking boredly next to me. Xaden looks back ever so briefly, " To the BloodStone." As if we knew where that was. We walk a little further to a small opening almost in a cavern or some type of cave. In the center was.. A huge stone. Black and reflective with some type on old ruins carved into them.


" Anyone got a knife?" Brennan comments, and I take one of my daggers cutting my own hand trying to cover the deep wince I feel as it bleeds passing it to Xaden then so on. 


" So how exactly do we do this? I ask hanging onto my cut hand looking over at Xaden and the others as we one by one all stand next to eachother looking at him for direction. 


He to looks over the stone for any tells, when he must not find one he puts his hand carefully on the stone motioning for us to follow. I press mine to the cold rough surface, so does everyone else and we wait.


I examine the stone for something, maybe it lights up? I feel for myself feeling if I feel a pull or a drain...nothing. I scan the others for any tell theirs might be working....again...nothing.


" Xaden?" I question looking at him. His jaw is clench as he looks up at the structure, I open our link to feel the wave of anxiety, disppointment, and a little anger. " Come on..." He mutters.


" I think your scrive got this wrong." Larkin states pulling his hand away.


" Get your damn hand back on!" Xaden snaps.


Larkin simply shakes his head, " This is useless. It's not working."


" Maybe it just need to wake up?" Hetta adds in.


" I agree with Larkin. I think we'r missing something." She drops her hand to making Xaden's jaw tick.
