The elevator doors were open.

Just for a breath.

The girl looked at Mara.

Her eyes were dark, exhausted, but this time without the unnatural smile. It

was Lena's voice. Mara felt it into the bones.

Really.

Or so real that it didn't make any difference.

Then the doors closed.

Loud.

The display jumped around.

PRODUCTION

Silence.

Only the steps in the stairway came closer.

Jonas immediately grabbed the map in Maras' hand.

He looked at them, then the elevator, then the door to the hal

  • The Island of the Silence   Chapter 12 — The Being Under the City

    ‘RUN!’ Morrigans screamed through Nerevin.Time suddenly went forward again.The rain fell. The lanterns flickered. The voices of the city returned.And deep under the streets sounded a sound.A sound that didn't fit in words.Not the brilliance of an animal. Not the crunch of stone. Not the crying of a storm.Something in between.Something original.Something that should never have awakened.Mara was rooted.Because she knew something.Something nobody else knew.The origin was just here.Really here.Or at least he had spoken to her.And he was only afraid of one thing.Your last page.Not Morrigan. Not the city. Not the book.The last page.Then the earth besieged.More than before.Streets broke up. Windows torn. The archive tower fluctuated.And from the depths of Nerevin something rose.Not completely.First, only darkness.A mass of shadow.Then eyes.Dozens.Hundreds.White eyes.Open.Blinking.Watching.A runaway went through town.The inhabitants disappeared on th

  • The Island of the Silence   Chapter 11 — The Last

    The ground cracked. Not explosive. Not violent.He opened.Like a door.Black lines ran over the paving stones of Nerevin. They branched. Wuchsen. Imaged patterns.Old patterns.Mara had seen her before.Not here.On the island.In the ruins of the first city.Where memories were lit.Where the origin disappeared.A cold shower ran over her back.“Back!” the boy called.But it was too late.The lines lighted up.Silver.Then gold.Then in a color Mara could not name.A color between memory and dream. Between light and shadow.And suddenly the whole city stopped moving.The rain solidified.People stared.The lanterns. The windows. The stories.Everything.Only Mara.And that's exactly what scared her.Jonas stood right next to her. But he no longer moved.Noah too.Morrigan. The boy.All frozen.Like figures in an image.Mara was alone.Then she heard steps.Slow steps.Right behind her.Now she turned around.No one.The road was empty.And yet she continued to hear the st

  • The Island of the Silence   Chapter 10 – The place where stories die

    The page burned. But the flames were not hot.Mara felt no pain.Instead, she felt something different.Memories.thousands of memories.They shot through their spirit like star-cracks.Not her own.Stranger life. Stranger faces. Foreign farewells.An old man who never sent a letter. A woman who summed the same melody forty years. A child who believed no one would remember his name.Then the pictures disappeared.The side fell into silver dust.The dust remained in the air for a moment.And formed a map.No map.A road description.Lines of light. Symbols. Signs.And in the end there was a name.The Silent Archive‘No’The boy said that right away.Too fast.Mara looked at him.“You know it.”He kept silent.“You know it.” repeated it.He slowly nodded.“Everyone in Nerevin knows it.”“Then explain it.”The boy looked at the tower. To the book. To Morrigan.Like he would hope someone else would answer.No one did.After all, he sighed.“The silent archive is not a place to v

  • The Island of the Silence   Chapter 9 – The woman who didn't want to die

    Nobody spoke. The wind stopped. The golden rain hung motionless in the air. Even the pages of the enormous book seemed to wait.Morrigan stood alone in front of the archive tower.And for the first time, she didn't seem powerful. Not mysterious. Not dangerous.Just exhausted.“Please help me.”The words were echoed by Nerevin.Mara didn't know what she expected. A threat, maybe. A demand. An ultimatum.But no request.Not these.Next to her, Noah swept quietly.“That makes everything more complicated.”“What was it ever simple?” asked Jonas.‘Good point’.Mara hardly noticed that the two spoke.Her view was directed at Morrigan.To the woman who had read her story.Who had seen her end.And who was afraid of it.The thoughts met Mara unexpectedly.Because suddenly she remembered the origins.Something he once said."People don't try to defeat death." "They try to defeat the farewell."At that time, she understood the words. Or believed to understand them.Now they felt diff

  • The Island of the Silence   Chapter 8 – The book without the last page

    The gate of paper opened out loudly. No explosion. No thunder. No dazzling light.Only the rustling of sides.Thousands.Million pages.The sound was full of Nerevin.It sounded like wind. Like rain. Like voices.Like countless people would read a story at the same time.Mara couldn't look away.Above the archival tower, the huge vertebrae turned out of paper. Pages flew through the air. Chapters broke apart. sentences disintegrated. Words floated like dust through the darkness.And in the middle of it was Morrigan.Reglos.The arms slightly spread out.Like she's welcome.Or say goodbye.“That’s impossible.” whispered Jonas.The boy beside them laughed joyless.“In this city it is impossible to recommend a rule rather than a rule.”No one reacted.For the gate began to take shape.Pages joined.Layers of paper folded into one another.And slowly the form of a huge book was created.Larger than any building in the city.Smooth.Living.Old.Very old.There was no title on th

  • The Island of the Silence   Chapter 7 – The boy who knew too much

    Mara died. The rain fell silently between them. Golden drops floated through the darkness of Nerevin. The archival tower stood above the city like a black mountain. And the boy smiled.“You have read the message, haven’t you?”No one answered.Jonas went unnoticedly closer to Mara. Noah too.Not noticeable. Not aggressive.But ready.The boy immediately noticed it.‘Oh.’ He sighed. “Now it becomes unpleasant.”“How do you know about the message?” asked Mara.The boy raised an eyebrow.“Because I wrote it.”Silence.Noah blinked.“Excuse me, huh?”“The message on the map.”“The one that says we should not trust you?”“That’s right.”Noah looked at Jonas.“I think I get headaches.”“Me too.”The boy nodded understanding.“That often happens.”Mara felt her patience.“Listen to the puzzles.”The smile disappeared.For the first time, the boy worked seriously.“I try to save you.”“When you tell us not to trust you?”‘Yes.’“That doesn’t make any sense.”“But.”The boy looked at

  • The Island of the Silence   Chapter 38 – In the night

    The cottage seemed different when Mara entered her this evening. Not because something had changed. The table was still on the window. The dried herbs hung under the Roof. The bowls on the shelf were tidy. Everything was familiar. And yet everything was new. Maybe because this time she didn't

  • The Island of the Silence   Chapter 37 – The first days of stay

    The next days felt like the island itself had stopped breathing. Not because something threatening happened. But because everything had changed — and at the same time remained amazingly silent. Mara didn't move to Noah immediately. She stayed at her beach camp for two more nights. Maybe becaus

  • The Island of the Silence   Chapter 34 – The flood chamber

    The sound was so huge that Mara first didn't understand what happened. It wasn't just water. It was as if the sea itself had decided to enter the mountain. With a thundering noise, a wave shot through the broken Rock opening at the end of the chamber. White foaming, full of bark and branches, s

  • The Island of the Silence   Chapter 33 – In the rock

    Noah didn't let her hand go. Mara almost stumbled over a root, but began in the next step. His fingers lay firmly around her, not painful, but surely. As if he had no time explain why he moved them back to exactly the place they had fled from. The forest flew past her. The branches stripped th
