Blue Essence Orb Novels & Stories

Ten large orbs floated in the middle of the room, lining each other like a planetary alignment with a large glass staircase spiralling around them up to the roof. Each orb held different colours and Hazel pointed at the second orb, a brownish gold orb with hues of white and silver. At the same time she was pointing at it, the orb pulsated with energy. The energy was like a gentle sonic wave and it hit only me. The orb suddenly turned into a world map and my eyes zoomed into the planet. The world spun for a bit and my vision took me to Asia. My eyes continued to zoom in, pinpointing a location and then I was thrown out into another vision.

She reached into her robes and withdrew a mystical orb, smooth and glasslike, which glowed softly. “A mystical orb, every moon-seer owns one” she said. “It will clear all doubt and confusion.” Arielle’s pulse raced. “I don’t think I should—” “Place your hands on it dear,” Nyra said gently. The room held its breath. Ethan shifted, then stilled. “You don’t have to,” he said, voice tight. “It won’t hurt you,” Nyra assured. Arielle hesitated, then stepped forward. Her hands trembled as she laid her palms against the orb.

Inside lay a single, pearl-white pill. "A humble gift," he said. "For the First Princess." Someone in the crowd recognized it instantly and gasped. "That's the Ouroboros' Orb!" I glanced over, then lowered my eyes. The Ouroboros' Orb was the Snake Clan's most legendary relic—a treasure so deadly to obtain, it was said to demand a life in exchange. But its power was unmatched: it could obliterate old meridians and forge new ones, catapulting one's spiritual strength to unimaginable heights.

Inside, a glowing orb floated above a marble pedestal, bathing the room in soft golden light. "It’s beautiful," I whispered. "It’s dangerous," he replied. He stepped closer, and the orb pulsed as if it recognized him. "What does it do?" "It’s the source of Betmor’s bloodline strength. It’s ancient and alive. It shows visions—memories, warnings." I watched as he reached out, but the moment his fingers neared it, the orb flared. A force pushed us both back against the wall. We hit the ground hard, breath knocked out of us. I groaned, but Ugarh sat up quickly, his face pale.

The whole of his upper body was bare and wet, water dripping from his hair to trickle down. "We," Alex breathed out, feeling cold shivers down his spine Seb placed his palm on his cheek to caress it. His hands were wet and cold, making Alex shiver at his every touch. "We have plans for the day, right?" "I know," Seb replied, Alex immediately looking away. "Blue, look at me." Gulping, Alex looked directly into Seb's blue eyes, catching a familiar glint in them. They looked so intense and Alex knew exactly what they meant as he felt it too.

Clara looked a little closer at the contents of the box and saw a variety of colors in the tendrils of smoke—blue, red, green, and white. “How do you even use it? This is my first time.” Clara bit her tongue. She just hoped this was really Ariah’s first time using such a thing. “Well, Neith,” Holly butted in. “Do you have any singles there?” “Yes, I have, Miss Vanders.” Neith rummaged through a drawer and handed Holly a dusty blue orb. “It’s still business so I must say that’ll cost you another fortune. I must insist you go outside to—”

*** My men rushed into the guard rooms and within the next few minutes, we already defeated all of the guards and broke into the room where they placed the orbs. There it was: at the center of the room, two glowing green and blue gem-like substances that contain the power of the Alpha and the beta stood at the center of two pillars in the room. The blue orb represented the Alpha’s power, while the green orb was the Beta's. Jordan was going to be my beta, so he took the green orb while I held onto the blue one. However, I knew that for me to claim the blue orbs to become the alpha, I needed two more of the blue ones.

I knew she was here. It was now beyond her scent. I could feel it. I could taste it on my lips. Mine. I crushed the thought before it could fully form. Annie sat across the room with Balor, in the obvious and noticeable part of the pub. But that wasn’t Annie. She hated being the center of attention. There was no way on earth Balor could know that. She was in a blue dress – the one I’d gotten for her on her last birthday. It slipped off one shoulder, her ginger curls falling down her back and framing her face. She looked like a wild flower. The only problem was that I didn’t think she knew that. Annie looked too young to be here, too beautiful to be let out.

“Try the next one. Upon touching the lilac orb, it suddenly gave a discordant tune. Dorin quickly let it go. Next was the blue orb. As soon as he touched it, the orb gave a bright turquoise light and sounded out a deep mellow gong that seemed to resonate with the rest of the bell trees. “Quattuor.” Damien said beside him. Dorin looked at him, an expectant smile on his face. He looked like a child that was waiting for his parent to praise him. “You did good.” said the groundskeeper.

I was frozen, my body shaking with a mixture of fear and a strange fascination. Alpha Kaelen and the old woman who cared for the Oracle remained silent. Their faces were calm, as if they knew what was going to happen, so I calmed down a little, but only a little. The Oracle's blood, a blood that was bright blue, a blood that was not of this world, dripped from his body and fell into the sacred fountain. The water, which had been a source of light, turned blue. The Oracle stood still, his body trembling, his eyes closed, and a silvery glow emanated from his body.
