A Seven Kingdom Story
This is the original Bloodstone. I will be reposting it as I get it reformated. At one time it was published so it can mess up formatting.

Thus starts the running and hiding and fighting to free themselves of Magnus, Lord of the Dark Castle. He wants nothing more than to recapture Luria.

A family discovers its secret tradition when it is forced to resume them, and horror turns slowly to acceptance and enthusiastic embrace. Based very lightly on the works of H.P.
