Wash You Up

Mineah only watched as Haman was gruesomely executed before her. She then found herself staring at her husband. 

This was the first time she saw Nikolai in such a way that just looking at him could invoke fear in your entire being. It wasn't his usual and unbothered demeanor. Instead, this was a portrayal of someone that was ruthless and merciless against his enemies. The message was clear, and Mineah hoped that after this incident none of the Clans would ever want to try something like this again.

"Lady Sage just took the Exordium blood and its venom from Haman, right?" Dani whispered from behind her. "Wouldn't that make her more powerful than the rest of the Exordiums?" 

"Yes," Mineah muttered even as her eyes turned to Nikolai. None would ever surpass her husband though, who automatically absorbed a pure Exordium's power whenever they died.
