Against The Darkness Time-lost Diamond Novels & Stories

"I thought it's over now, I will now roam on the streets like an orphan who doesn't have anyone but then my family came for me... I was happy, I got little faith when they refused to let me suffer like an orphan, I was wrong to think that my family could turn their back towards me. That small lamp of faith and trust lit in my heart again but when they took me with them, they cut my wings, they snatched the colours from my life and threw cloth of misfortune at me to cover my body. The lamp which I ignited got wiped out of its existence and filled my life with darkness... My trust was brutally murdered again and again by the people... But I was living, I was surviving in the darkness... In fac

The air grew dense, filled with centuries of malice and treachery. A wicked smile slowly spread across her lips. “Ah, but if I was truly on Ryan’s side, would I have this?” From within the folds of her tattered gown, she produced the diamond once more. Its multifaceted surface caught the dim light of the cavern cast by the discarded flashlight on the floor, refracting it in mesmerizing patterns. The diamond seemed to pulse, as if holding a heartbeat of its own. “You could have it, Olivia. It could be yours.” As she spoke, I felt the weight of the cavern pressing down on me even more. It felt hot and stuffy in here, and I needed to get out. For my children, for my pack, for Nathan.

Just darkness that made you forget what light felt like. _“The shield is strong,”_ the Void said. Its voice was like a thousand whispers at once, inside your head and outside it. _“The blade is young. But soon… soon she will be ready. And when she is…”_ It reached for Aria. Darius and Kade moved at the same time, but they were too slow. The Void’s darkness touched Aria’s cheek. She didn’t cry. She smiled. And the Moonstone exploded. Silver light flooded the room, so bright it burned. The Void shrieked - a sound that made blood run from my ears - and recoiled.

“I will not let my child die. If time must stop, then so be it!” With my silver sword, I struck his staff. A violent explosion followed. The Time-Keeper Lucas looked at me in shock. “Sophia, would you destroy the entire galaxy for mortal love?” “Yes!” I roared. “If love doesn’t exist, then what use is this galaxy to me?” Lucas tried to push me aside, but Soha—in her dragon form—let out a thunderous roar and lunged at him. Thus began a catastrophic battle between the Keeper of Time and the Lord of Darkness.

“The Book of Whispers was said to have been hidden here, in the Deadlands, when the Firestone cities fell. The Firestone witches scattered the templars of their Goddess, the Moon Goddess, so the old gods couldn’t find them and use the book to unleash things even worse than the curse they released when they opened the Baetyl. The Goddess and her daughter vanished, and Eastonia fell into the dark times, and the book remained here, hidden away in an ancient temple.” Something clicks into place in my head. The Diadem of Starlight, with the Diamond of Faith as part of the Diadem, were found in Crescent Falls. The Firestone Mask is now under Ella’s control. The Blade of Time…that was the knife Gab

The door suddenly flew open. I turned—then relaxed when I saw Dre. “What exactly are you looking for?” he asked. “The ring,” I said. “Marlene has it. So do Ruby and Rasheed. Dad wore the same ring the night before he died. Whatever happened to him—it connects back to Blackwood.” Dre exhaled sharply. “That’s heavy. But coming here was reckless.” “You came too.” “And I’d do it again,” he replied. “If you’re walking into danger, we do it together.”

There was a swish and a low murmur, a breeze quite cold ruffling her hair, and the next second, her whole body was outlined by a bluish light so blinding that Kleint had to look away. “Once this is over, I’ll be utterly useless, Kleint. This is the last of my energy. I leave my father’s fate up to you.” Kleint had no time to argue because, at the same moment, the diamonds started making their way to Dark’s chest, layer by layer, seemingly trying to protect him from harm. However, once the layers towered up to Z’s palms, the sound of something being squashed echoed, and the diamonds were sucked through the air, penetrating through Z’s hands in a flash of light. Z let out a small gasp, and the

It’s like going against the flow of the river or not accepting the fact that time has intrinsic direction and order. “You’ve been working about this since your teenage years, mom,” I commented. “Time manipulation is a product of human’s inventive mind. You cannot manipulate something that you can’t even see, touch, or feel.” “And that, young lady, is what I wanted to prove,” she said as she put on her auto-darkening welding helmet. I didn’t utter another word. I quietly watched my mom do her magic on her work. Somehow, I aspire to be like her. Someone determined to make her dreams come true. Someone who knows what he or she wants.

And this time— The lights went out completely.

“You think Isaac bought this?” “How else could you afford it? You don't have two nickels to rub together unless you’re counting Summer’s lunch money.” Everyone… It was time. I slowly shifted Summer to my right arm, making sure my left hand was perfectly positioned under the dim living room light. I lifted my hand, splaying my fingers so the princess-cut diamond could do exactly what it was designed to do… Blind the opposition. The stone caught the blue light of the TV, fracturing it into a thousand sparkling shards.
