Ark The 100 Novels & Stories

Archer sobbed, trying to get free but losing the fight. “I’ll find you!” he screamed as Ariadne and Kurnich walked out into the freezing tundra outside the pack house. “I’ll find you!” [CW- Please note this story will contain violence (on screen, cartoonish, and visceral), body horror, themes of abuse (parental and spousal), themes of bullying, and themes of childhood trauma.

​The Lunar Ark was not a ship; it was a sarcophagus of gold and glass, buried beneath the regolith of the Tycho Crater for a century. As the Vane siblings and Lyra stepped inside, the air tasted of ancient pine needles and cold, sterile electricity. It was the "Emergency Exit" their father had built for a world that had finally ended, and as the engines hummed to life, Leo felt the violent tug of Earth’s gravity calling them back.

The sunset over the Actual Earth wasn't a programmed gradient of gold and pink; it was a violent, dusty orange that cast long, jagged shadows across the valley. As the temperature dropped, the millions of "Waking Souls" from the Ark began to realize that freedom had a freezing point. Leo stood at the base of the Ark’s ramp, directing the flow of people. He wasn't using a megaphone or a digital HUD. He was shouting until his throat was raw, his hands moving in a frantic rhythm as he organized the able-bodied into "Sustainment Teams."

Drake says. “Does it say how you will change the world, bringing the broken factions together?” I ask. He frowns at me. “Did you read it?” “No, I didn’t have to. It’s what you’re doing.” After the first night, the tension goes away and over the next week, we meet GoldMoon, the Ceryneian Hind from Greek mythology, the techrechauns, the trolls, and finally, we got to meet Lucero, the unicorn.

"I am." I shook my head. "This is unnecessary." Mother finally spoke. "If she is alone in the forest, every hour matters." The image appeared before I could stop it. Aria walking alone through the forest. She had no wolf and was completely defenseless. I immediately pushed the thought away. This was not my problem. At least, that was what I kept telling myself. Varek wasn't convinced. "You are worried." I ignored him. Father stood up. "We leave in thirty minutes."

I'm sure that was how the Israelites felt when moses parted the sea. Or was it Abraham? I'm not sure which one, don't me I'm not a full time believer. But I'm pretty sure this was how they felt. Arina took a step backwards and before I could ask what to do, she kept into the open space beyond. Perfect. Absolutely spiffing. I peeped into the big hole. It was dark. Very dark. Like a mice hole. I tried very hard to see what was inside but failed. 'Woof?'.

Leo carried Arthur on his back, the old man wrapped in the last thermal blanket. Rook carried the Archive drives in a waterproof case. Kara carried the portable rig and the Server Blade. Ren carried the rifle and walked rear guard, checking the shadows. As they walked down the tracks, leaving the blue glow of the Iron Whale behind, Ren looked at his wrist. There was no watch. No HUD. But in his mind, he saw the objective marker clearly. QUEST UPDATED: OBJECTIVE: Survive the Wastelands. REWARD: Freedom. Ren turned to Maya. She was walking steadily, her hand on her belly, her face set in a mask of determination.

I smirked, “they are finally here.” “Who?” Zeve asked. “LKS, the luna’s army, your army,” I said, looking into Zeve’s eyes. Aria was safe in Morfan’s arms in a less chaotic zone of the battlefield. The archers hopped onto the tall trees and started showering arrows at the ultimas from all directions. They already knew what they had to do. I had mind-linked and explained everything to them. Bronze arrows and their targets were the heads. Morfan got them ready for such a short call and brought them here. Lexi and Vance dashed to us.

The wolves howled, a sound that echoed across the mountains, a promise of war. In the Crimson settlement, Aria stood at the head of her army, the ancient weapon blazing at her hip. Logan was beside her, Greer and Viktor at her back, Mira and the healers ready for the wounded that would come. Behind her, thousands of wolves waited, their eyes fixed on her, their hearts steady.

~Night in the North~ The band of the night anti-supernatural creatures were all set out all on standby against the time the enemy steps forth unaware of their secret formation and intentions. They are all following the lead of Raven. "Kai, can you hear me now?" Raven asked tapping the piece plugged to her ear. "Yes Raven. Very clear" "I'm with Delilah. Check with Archie and the rest. Any time from now, we might spot something fishy around. I think they are probably thinking of setting a trap for us tonight"
