Emericl frowned as Madam Livia added, "At least, I think that's at the Urekai call people like you?

A Syren?

Emericl shifted uneasily, feeling confused. "What does that mean?"

"It is what the Urekai call non-Ugekai who can go into heat. It means you are able to bond with a Urekai. Your body is changed enough to mate with them, with new glands and all. Hades, you might even be a Soulbond"

Now, he felt even more confused. His face must have shown it because Madam Livia took a deep breath and nodded. "Very well, let us start again. What do you know about Urekai bonds and bondmates?

"I know that what humans call marriage, Urekai call bonding." Emeriel began. "It is rare for a Urekai to find their Soulbond. the one person meant to be their true partner. Their soulmate. Only Soulbonds can have children easily. Most Urekai pair up through contracted bonding-they choose their own partners. It is not because they do not want the bondmate nature made for them, but because finding a Soulbond is extremely rare-

"Good, good. You are right so far," Madam Livia said with a smile "This will make it casier. Go on."

"Um." Emeriel thought hard, searching his memory. "I know contracted bonds are very hard to create. There are rituals and steps to follow, and even then, the bond might not form if their souls do not connect. But for Soulbonds, the souls connect naturally, and the bond is said to be ten times stronger."

Excellent Livia nodded. "I will take it from here. Do you remember what happened last night? Have you ever felt anything like it before?"

Emeriel shook his head.

"You went into heat, Madam Livia stated. "It is like menstruation for human females, but more complicated. Also, while menstruation happens monthly, heat does not follow a set cycle. It might happen once every three months or twice in one month-it is different for every Urekai female and syren. What this means is, you are a syren now, so you can marry a Urekai..

GRAND LORD VLADYA

Grand Lord Vladya walked with regal grace as he approached the forbidden chambers.

With his hands behind his back, he moved with poise, dressed in a long, flowing white robe decorated with detailed golden. patterns. The fabric trailed behind him like a river of silk as he walked.

People quickly stepped aside, bowing deeply until their heads nearly touched the ground. Turning toward the southern wing, he followed the corridor leading to the forbidden chambers.

The soldiers bowed as he approached.

He dismissed them with a wave.

Vladya waited until the hallway was empty before stepping toward the massive metal gates, made of iron rods strong enough to resist the Urekai's immense power.

These gates fortified all the dungeons in Ravenshadow Fortress and had held Urekai prisoners for over a thousand years. They were the strongest of their kind.
