Chapter 7: Elijah Stoneheart
While Noah Weaverheart underwent his awakening, so did another.
Across the city, within the vast Stoneheart domain, an important ceremony was unfolding.
The Awakening Chamber.
A grand hall bathed in soft golden light, filled with rows of children—twelve-year-olds from the Stoneheart Clan, one of the Four Great Families.
Unlike other noble houses, the Stonehearts were many.
Their patriarch had multiple wives, many children, and even more branch families. Their numbers were overwhelming, making them the most populated among the Four Families.
And here, in this sacred space, the future of their lineage would be determined.
The chamber buzzed with excitement, but beneath the thrill, fear festered.
Because the Stonehearts had only one rule.
Strength is everything.
