Her triumphant smile radiated a mockery that froze the blood of the traitors on the palace balconies. She held the secret records high in the wind like a death warrant, and before they could blink, she snapped her fingers lightly. In a single second, the magical illusion vanished, and her hair erupted, a deep crimson, blazing like fire in the darkness, proclaiming to Aurelius's world that the ghosts of Blackwood had returned to collect their debts in blood.
