Novel & Cerita Broken Compass Book

My thoughts whirled like a tornado—not entirely because of the book, but because of the desperate longing buried in my chest. I turned the page, my breath hitching as the details of the magical compass caught my eye. Drawn exquisitely, it outlined the four cardinal directions, with luminous gems—blue for water, green for earth, red for fire, and yellow for air—at the ends of the compass hands. Each one twinkled as if whispering secrets of the universe. I leaned in closer, fascinated by the intricate swirling patterns dancing between the gems, but it was what lay at the center of that compass that truly captivated me: a small star symbol strikingly similar to the birthmark etched delicately o

He reached into his long rope and pulled out a small, gleaming object. It was a compass unlike any I’d ever seen. The casing glowed faintly and runes etched along its outline pulsing with slow light. “This compass is no ordinary tool; it's my proudest creation.” He said, holding it out to me. “The needle points to every artifact you’re meant to inside the Void. It will also reveal traps before you walk into them.” I stared at the compass in his hand. This feels wrong. “Corin…” I shook my head. “I can’t take this.”

It smelled of rank B&O and stale fries. When he got to his feet, he was a little dizzy, but that wasn’t going to stop him. He had found some old books and a few blades stain with what looked like blood. He started digging around on the desk hoping to find something, but he didn’t know what. That is when he came across an old leather-bound book with strange writing across it. He saw the pictures of a crystal cross that had emeralds lined down the middle. Well, that helped Thomas understand why the cross ended up being very important but why did he have a piece of it?

I smiled at him and he disappeared on the spot the same way he appeared. I looked at the book and sat down on the carpeted floor. I was ready to learn and I looked at the drawing on the cover page. It wasn't a drawing per se but more of an engraving. It seemed to be calling to me and I touched it. It was a circle with drawings inside it and there was a spiral shape that has three points that emanated from the middle and I touched it and without knowing where a needle or sharp object came from since I hadn't seen any on the book, I felt my finger get pricked and before I could take it back, blood had already trickled on the book and I heard a clicking sound and there was light all around the

Survival was more than just pulling a trigger; it meant knowing when to pull it, who to aim at, and making sure they never got back up. Traitors hid behind expensive suits and fake smiles, knives ready to strike my back. But they forgot one thing: I played by the rules until someone played me dirty. And when they did, the retribution I served was tenfold. No one played me for a fool and lived. The cigarette had burned down to the filter. I crushed it into the ashtray, grinding it until the ember died. The tray wobbled on the edge of the table. My hand shot out to steady it, but the booze in my system dulled my reflexes. It tipped over, shattering into a thousand glinting shards.

“I remember now. I asked Rosie to hold it for me. I’m sorry. I forgot I’d asked.” He says this to me, but loud enough that everyone in the library can hear. His face doesn’t betray the lie at all, but it is obvious bullshit. No one will believe him. And no one will challenge him. He slips his phone into his pocket, and then he gathers my things and puts them carefully back into my ripped backpack. When he gets to the compass, he holds it up between two fingers and says, “This is broken.” “Yeah.” “What good is a broken compass?”

There were places out there that had probably never been touched by royal soldiers. Places where someone could disappear without leaving a trace. I reached into my coat and pulled out the weathered compass. As I held it in my palm, the needle spun wildly. The compass had been behaving strangely ever since we entered the eastern territory. But now, after several frantic rotations, the needle suddenly stopped. East… Always east. I stared toward the distant mountains. “I know you’re out there.” The wind carried my words away. “I don’t know who you are or why everyone is hunting you.”

"Look at this compass, Papa. Mama modified it so that the needle always pointed to the letter E. E is for Edmund. So, every time she face north, Mama feels like she's facing him. Wherever Mama is, she can always remember Papa Ed. Now, try to open your compass!" Lucas opened the new compass and frowned. Nothing had changed. The compass needle still pointed to N. "What's so special about this? It's an ordinary compass." "It was an ordinary compass! I intended to rotate the paper like Mama. But apparently, it was very difficult. I didn't understand how. So, I just left the compass as it was. I looked for another way to make it perfect." Lucas became more confused. Alice and Edmund were secretly

The motion revealed the subtle grace beneath his imposing stature, and she caught her breath, feeling a mixture of gratitude and trepidation as he re-entered her line of sight. He held the Gryphic compass, its brass casing gleaming under the lantern light, a soft luminescence radiating from within as it pulsated gently. The light caught her attention, drawing her in as though it called to the very essence of who she was. “This helped anchor your mind before,” he explained, his voice rough with emotion, weighing heavily against her heart. Amelia felt a flutter of hesitance as she reached toward the compass, her fingers trembling at the proximity of the object that seemed laden with memories j

I was crossing the street when a motorbike was speeding and I almost got hit good thing I was so fast to back away… and even though I’m in the ground right now and shock about what happen I was relieved that it wasn’t anything worse, and I’m kind of thankful that I made Gen take care of the twins while I run an errand. What’s more weird is I always see an accident when I go outside and my head would start hurting… and I feel like my scull is breaking and I can’t even do anything about it other than crying in pain like I am right now. “How many times has this happen already?” My eyes widen when I saw James. What is he doing here? And he’s with Kiel and that girl of course. “it’s nothing.” I s
