“Briana’s source of power is truly unique on this plane,” Erebus continues. “An unending furnace Bloodcrafted into her body via an unregulated bargain made between her ancestor Vera and the spirits of the dead to whom Vera pleaded for aid. Unbeknownst to Vera, I joined that open plea to stake my claim on the furnace within a future daughter in exchange for providing a measure of protection to her descendants. When someone attempts to consume Briana’s magic forcibly, my bloodmark flares her power to life, burning the thief away.”
