Borderland Zero Novels & Stories

Zafir looked on, impressed at the familiarity his racing rival showed in front of one of the most sophisticated devices built by human ingenuity. “The Border System has two major functions,” Colin explained to Zafir, keeping an eye on the progress bar on the screen as he ran the program. “First, it prevents the formation of Breaches in a set area. And second, it prevents Anomalies from existing in a set area. Now, most people imagine the Border is this invisible umbrella that keeps the bad things out. But it’s more like…jelly, I guess.” Zafir blinked. “Jelly?”

I realized that it wasn't me so I moved aside. "Asher Blake Cañoza, Dandara De Verra, Maria Inez Gomez and Cassian Blue Guevarra." I heard a voice of a boy answered her. Once I finished filling up the form, I gave it to the girl. I noticed someone staring at me that made me look around. "We have a special guest for today! It's Ms. Olivia Z. Bautista, everyone!" I heard someone said loudly that made me look to the front which I regretted right away.

Now that everyone knows that Ministry of Defense is perhaps one of the top 3 busiest Ministry in Aeternum government. Peoples knows about the Agriculture Region Operations as well as the Inhabour City dungeon eradication operations, but they never thought that Aeternum longest border, which is also labeled as Border Zone B, that is the Alemia Nation and Shark Region border line is quite busy. Unbeknownst to many, the border line between the 2 country is very active, despite the order of that border is being close. Now people were able to catch a glimpse just how active the things are.

When they got there, they stripped and shifted, JP to his big grey wolf and Zande to his huge brown bear. They ran up to the border with a steady pace, Zande was very good at navigation and tracking. JP was following his lead as they ran to the border, he stopped when they were close by just as the car was approaching the gates. JP picked up a scent he was familiar with but could not place who it belonged to. ‘Beta, it’s Lizzy and her mate.’ JP sighed relieved, they went up to the gates to meet with them and find out what the matter is for them to come all the way here without calling.

Her eyes were sharp and her movements were efficient; not a single step was wasted. “Commander.” A patrol approached Garrison and Hera to deliver a brief report. “The western zone is clear.” Garrison nodded briefly, then gestured for them to resume their duties. The sweep resumed. The guards moved along the border route, which was usually the most vulnerable. Old traces were still visible in the ground—wild animal footprints, broken branches and scratches on tree trunks that had long served as natural markers of Velmora’s territory. Yet there was nothing new: no foreign scent or lingering aura. Everything looked as it normally did.

POV DARLENE The journey back across the border was not a retreat; it was a Reclamation. As the burning towers of the West’s capital faded into a jagged, orange glow against the southern horizon, the air began to change. The stale, chemical ozone of the Council’s stronghold was replaced by the sharp, punishing bite of Mountain Ice and Ancient Cedar. This was the scent of the borderlands—the place where the "Management" of the city met the Absolute Law of the Pack.

I muttered, closing my eyes. I felt a strange, cold tingling around the cut on my arm as the data started to transfer. My stomach twisted. I had one shot at this, and the timing had to be perfect. The tablet in his hand beeped, and a green bar lit up his face. "Connection established. Now, give me the code." I opened my eyes and looked right at him. "Zero. Zero. Delta. Echo. Niner," I said, taking a deep breath. "And go to hell."

She touched at my eyes with a tissue to keep my mascara from running before giving me a brief description of what would take place. Nothing would have prepared me to see him standing at the end of a gazebo-covered pier that crossed over a white, sandy beach and stretched out into crystal-blue water. Sandals was a beautiful resort but paled in comparison to the waters of Ocho Rios. I saw him before he saw me and allowed myself a moment to take it all in. He held his hands clasped in front of him with his eyes set intently on where I'd make my appearance. My breath caught in my throat for just an instant.

He met her in her study chair this time, and he went to check what she was doing. "You are drawing?" She nodded with a smile, knowing she was terrible at it. "Is that supposed to be a person or an animal? Looks like a cow." He teased her. "It's you." Luciana said to him. Raziel frowned. "No. This can't be me. You can't fall for this thing the way you had fallen for me." Luciana only chuckled. "Lucy our borders are being attacked right now." He informed her. "What?!" She dropped her pen and turned to him in shock.
