Chapter Thirteen: The Holy Chosen

“She was my dad’s . . . ex?” Gisbo asked. “Just who is she?”

“A very dangerous, unpredictable, and obsessive individual that needs taking down. I do not much like discussing your father’s past with you, but she is one of the rare ones left on this planet who has the Drakeness flowing through her veins. For nearly thirteen years, we have seen no trace of her. She has hidden herself well, and we finally know where. I believe she may be behind the Holy Chosen. Their cult is beginning to spread, even within the likes of Oak County. It is a frightening thing, indeed. Just like the Drakeness, the weak and lost flock to it, looking for answers,” Foxblade said. “We, however, are searching for answers, as well. We must confirm a sighting of her within these walls, find the evidence, and discover your father’s location. Something is in the works here, and I don’t like it.”

A thought rose to the front of Gisbo’s mind, a thought that terrified him. “So, if she has the Drakeness, then that means she could share her blood and infect people and spread it! Can’t she?” Gisbo asked. Gisbo felt relieved when Foxblade shook his head.

“It is impossible. Only Drakeron himself can share his blood as he is the only one directly in tune with and bonded to the dragon. Only the dragon’s blood can truly infect someone with the Drakeness,” Foxblade said. “However, that doesn’t mean she is incapable of drawing from the unearthly power. As you know, we, as Renegades, have been outright in the dark about the Drakeness and its mysterious powers. We’ve had Falcon, and now Shax in our midst, but they cannot use the power or else they would succumb to it. The same is not true for Jackobi. This was his special mission this year. He has been training with the Drakeness as only he can wield its power. He will be a weapon against the enemy and give us a window to discover a weakness.”

“Wait, but why can only Jackobi use the stuff? What is so special about him? Is that why he knew I was in trouble and could teleport to me?” Gisbo asked. Again, Foxblade shook his head.

“It is a story for another day and not one I wish to tell. One thing I discovered is that the Drakeness, much like a Boon connection, awakes special, unique abilities within each person. This woman we are after was in Drakeron’s Unholy twelve and within the top three for a reason. She is powerful. We do not know what her powers are. Also, this is still all theory; we don’t know just how much of her power she can actually use, due to her predicament,” Foxblade said.

“Predicament? Was she injured or something?” Gisbo asked.

“Her spine was damaged, and she was paralyzed completely. We have found the Drakeness can heal most wounds, but it cannot heal broken bones or recover lost limbs. She also had her right arm and leg graciously removed,” Foxblade said.
