Isolde knew from the way her dreams always crumbled so easily under Roanna's presence that her power had something to do with an anti-psyche blood style.
But what kind of blood style could do that?
Moreover, Roanna could use almost any blood style she pleased and flaunt them like a queen showing off her collection.
The experiment she conducted to create the Crow had given the final answer. It was impossible for any vampire to have more than two blood styles, not even a hybrid.
The Corvane needed to perform experiments to forge the so-called "perfect vampire," one who could permanently wield several styles at once.
But Roanna only laughed. "Realm? Do you have proof that this is my realm? Or is it the children I experimented on, who now form this perfect illusion?"
Isolde smirked. She could see the faint tremor in Roanna's hand. That slight hesitation betrayed her nerves.
"Did you know," Isolde said softly, "that a fighting style mirrors its wielder's personality, Roanna?"
