A World Worth Protecting Novels & Stories

I reflected on our current situation, and I can’t thank her enough for giving me what I needed for the war: full protection against werewolves and dark magic. I slowly approached her; I was terrified. What if I failed to protect her? What if she gets hurt? Or worse? I shook my head to get rid of the darkness looming in my head. I can’t afford to entertain negative thoughts right now. I circled my arms around her waist and pressed my forehead against hers. In a few minutes, we will be in a different place. I wish I could preserve this moment of solitude with her when things are calm and safe. But there are bigger things at play here. It’s about the survival of all species and the peace we wer

“No. Isaiah, you don’t have to do that. When it comes to her safety nothing else matters. Please let me stay. At least until we find whoever wants to kill her.” “It’s a bad idea Palmer and you know it.” “But it won’t be the only bad idea you’ve had in your life. Come on Isaiah, you know me. We’ve hunted down deeply deprived monsters in this world together. You know I’ll protect her.” Palmer stood and tapped the desk with his index finger. “I’ll protect her with my life.” Isaiah leaned back on his chair, glancing at Palmer broodingly. “It’s truly a bad idea, but you’ll stay until we get the person who hired the mercenaries.”

I wanted to surprise him! However, on the day he left the hospital, I completely lost my sight. "It's alright, Carol. I would never look down on you!" I punched him playfully, laughing so hard that I snorted. "If you ever looked down on me, who else in this world would stick with you until the grave?" "Duh! Carol, you're my favorite!" After the battle, with a little nudge from me, Justin agreed to work with Dynastara. He provided the funding, and Dynastara supplied the technology. Together, they brought countries like Garvos under Dynastara's protection.

She was thinking about the first time she had held a book, the first time she had tasted a peach from the orchard, the first time Julian had looked at her with love instead of calculation. "Julian," Clara whispered, not looking at him. "Do you remember what I taught you in the library? Before the money? Before the Spire?" "I remember everything, Clara," Julian said. "The most important lesson," Clara said, finally looking at him, her eyes brimming with tears. "Is that one soul is worth more than a billion stars. If we save the world by sacrificing our own blood, then the world we save isn't worth living in. We’d just be another version of the Auditor."

They needed us to lead. I rose from my chair and walked toward the window. New City stretched into the horizon, its shining towers and clean streets proof of what discipline and vision could achieve. If left alone, the world would fall back into darkness. If left to their own devices, these medieval kings and nobles would tear each other apart again. The future needed guardians. The UNA needed a center. And Aeternum would be that center. But with dignity. With patience. With purpose. We would protect the small nations, the vulnerable cultures, the emerging civilizations. We would shield their dreams from the stupidity of brutes who believed that might made right. And we would profit. Because

“It reminds us that our activities can have a significant affect on the world around us.” The Sky Guardians gestured in understanding, their faces brilliant with the satisfaction of knowing they were defending their cherished domestic. “Indeed, it’s a way to celebrate the interconnecting of all life.”

"As you know, our mission to protect and preserve the natural world is of utmost importance. The threads of destiny have woven us together with this purpose, and I am proud of the work we have accomplished thus far." "I share in your pride, Your Majesty," Hurez replied, "Our efforts have borne fruit, and the realm of the wild is showing signs of rejuvenation. But there is much work still ahead." "Yes, indeed," Bella agreed, "and that is why I feel the weight of responsibility upon my shoulders. It is not just the wild that needs our protection; it is our people, our kingdom, and the entire world." Hurez nodded, understanding the depth of her words. "The delicate balance between nature and hu

“Just promise me that you are going to try your level best in protecting yourself and don’t worry about the world or the rest of the pack, I don’t care what happens to them as long as my little sister is safe.” Even though she said this I couldn’t agree with her on this. I needed to create a safe and happy world for my niece or nephew along with all the others who had desperately pleaded to me to save their families. It was still unreal to believe but the future depended on me and my life was not as precious as the lives of the entire world. I would want my own child when I would have one to come into a safe world where he or she wouldn’t have to be living in continuous protection.

he said, making me chuckle slightly. “Hold your head up high until it’s not possible to do it anymore, and even then try to find a way to do it. We didn’t kill those men, so we have nothing to hide or be ashamed of. We’re only going there to try to protect the ones who matter to us… and well, the rest of the werewolf world, because they sure as hell would need protection if those men take over.” “We can’t let that happen. Not at all,” I muttered and he nodded.

"Fifty-four defenders died in the final battle at our base camp. Hundreds more throughout the war. Two guardians burned themselves out of existence—twice—to protect you. And countless others sacrificed relationships, stability, innocence, just to give you the chance to be born into a peaceful world." She stopped at the center of the stage. "So I'm going to ask you something. All of you, everyone watching across the world. What are you doing to honor that sacrifice? How are you ensuring that what we built lasts not just another thousand years, but ten thousand? A hundred thousand?" Silence.
