Arden River Novels & Stories

In the end, if we didn’t find success here, we’d find it in Dorcha Azonos. I was giving Azonos three more hours before we moved to the darker regions. The mind-link between the three of us was always on, in case we got any lead, but so far there has been no success but giving up wasn’t an option. A river was up ahead and this one was a major water supply to animals in the day and rogues at night. Being one of the most popular water sources, there’s a high chance that the agmarbhs might drink from here.

She didn’t have destiny in the palm of her hand. “You have to talk to him sis” Ryan advised while he patted her back, “ he is drowning himself in alcohol which is not good for him” Aurora immediately disengaged from her brother, “Where is he?” “We met at a bar downtown” Ryan shrugged while she glared daggers at him. “You go to bars now?” “Oh please” he scoffed and continued, “I only went there for my brother in law” he added the last part to make her cheer up a little which actually did.

She stood up, opened her eyes, and bowed respectfully to the waters. "You try first, Lynette, it's quite simple," she advised. Lynette nodded and sat on the snow, following in her mother's footsteps. The wind was strong and a little rough, and their mother's eyes widened as she noticed how bright the glow emitted by Lynette's hair and the water was. 'Sister Lynette's Hanun is brighter than Mama's,' Dove was astounded.

Dana pondered before he eyes lit up and lips curled into a smile. “Water- It can be hot, cold, hard in ice form, soft in liquid state.” She looked at Ben to see if he agreed. Ben shrugged ‘Made sense. He couldn’t think of anything else.’ Dana typed water and hesitated before pressing enter. Ben pressed her finger down on ‘enter’ button gently. Two seconds later, a message came. It read- “Search on banks of the river, the length should not exceed 1 m to left and 1m to the right of your tent’s outer width. Find an undamaged conch and cross the river from that point. Your path is lined by your team alphabet.

he said, defiant. “Link some of your guys, see what they’re saying,” I said. He nodded. “Greg’s location is empty too, about four miles west of here,” he said, looking deep in thought. “Is that one special,” I asked. “Hell yeah, it overlooks the river and we always, always have that under a minimum of four guards at all times. You could have anyone just come in off a boat, bringing who knows what,” he said. Hmm. Most packs aggressively guarded any water spots near their borders, that was true.

I won't do that buddy, I'm not that dumb. As I walked into the hallway while humming an old song, I looked at my right window and saw people making a circle out in the royal garden, beautiful blue flowers were on the sides covering most of the grade. My mother loves flowers, she said that flowers bring joy and it makes happy. I frowned and walked close to the window to watch the commotion. There were people surrounding one woman, a special woman. And the peoples were all males plus one woman who was the royal doctor. The girl smiled as she typed on a laptop and executed it. I looked at it for a moment and then suddenly there was an immense waterfall up, coming from the ground. The water spla

Charr said frowning and craning his neck trying to see over the trees without luck. ‘Fafnir, any ideas?’ Rex said. “If memory serves me right, other side of these woods was a river that travelled all the way past Ragnar’s Mountains and through to a river town called Delta. See if you can hear running water or smell it. Same way before, slowly breath and force your ears to listen, your nose should follow suit.’

Maybe if she could at least walk she would see how well she was doing. I rounded the car and slid into the driver's seat. The moment I turned the ignition the song 'Ocean Drive' by Duke Dumont began blaring through the speakers. I watched in awe as Odette's lips gradually kicked up into a toothy grin before she began mouthing the lyrics. By the time I pulled out of the parking lot and decided to head to the closest drive-through, Odette was full-on singing to the music.

SAFIA Baiwa settlement was small. The old woman I lived with often left to help the infected people in Rukum. I figured that the woman had a vast knowledge of roots and herbs. Although I was feeling better now, I still needed a stick to help my walkabout. The old woman, whose name I later found out her name was Aishatu, promised that I would be able to walk properly soon. She had guessed that my legs might have been kept in a stagnant position for too long, causing my difficulty in walking. She said if I exercised them often by walking about, they would get better.
