Cadence X Shining Armor Novels & Stories

he said waving his hand toward the screens. “What do you say, wanna see what trouble we can get into,” he said, smirking. Maybe I needed to relax and just let him show me what he was going to show me. I wasn't going to fully let my guard down of course, but my curiousity was taking over. “Abso-fucking-lutely,” I said laughing. I had to admit, I was fucking impressed, and very few people impressed me. Marcus would lose his shit if he saw all this. If he could meet THE Sun Stroke.

"What are you talking about? Your shoulder has a huge gash on it! Your armor must be useless!" Xander held back his laughter as he thought about his armour. It was made with enhanced metal that had been refined and forged by the bestest of blacksmiths. His opponent must have been a descendent of a Holy Beast as it was able to easily tear through his armor. "Maybe... I'm glad I got it though." Xander said as he smiled gently at Diane. She had said a short prayer, healing the wound almost instantly. "What? Are you crazy?" "Only for you."

“Look, I’m just saying—whatever you’re doing, it’s working. I feel invincible. Also slightly sunburned. But mostly invincible.” Luka snorted behind him. “You say that now. Just wait until someone hits you.” “Oh, I intend to avoid all physical violence. That’s what these shields are for,” Darius said proudly, patting his chest. “Also what you’re for.” They worked all day. One by one. Selene gave, and Theoden strengthened. No two shields were alike—each shimmered with a slightly different hue, like it had been made to match the soul of its bearer.

I watched them fight while trying to crawl backward, my ankle throbbing and my palms shaking. Cade swung at Liam with unfocused force and Liam blocked it with his forearm, pushing back with a low growl. They both moved fast but Cade looked wrong, like he was fighting something inside him. His body lurched in strange ways and I saw a faint glint around his upper arm, a thin silverish band that pulsed when he jerked. I didn’t know what it meant but it didn’t look normal.

He gestured to a pair of mannequins at the center of the room, each adorned with intricate suits of armor. Lyra’s armor was a masterpiece, a combination of sleek silver and deep blue. The breastplate was etched with subtle wolf motifs, a nod to her Lycan heritage, and accented with shimmering gemstones that glowed faintly with protective enchantments. The design allowed for flexibility, ensuring that she could move with the grace and speed her wolf demanded.

skin. It was ridiculous. It was glorious. The armor was polished gold with glowing blue runic etchings. Massive pauldrons shaped like lion heads sat on his shoulders, breathing digital steam. Every time he moved, little sparkles of light trailed behind him like fairy dust. "You look like a disco ball had a baby with a tank," Jinx laughed. She was sitting on the edge of the holographic table, her avatar swinging its legs. She was wearing her new "Shadow-Stalker" set—sleek, violet leather with a hood that trailed smoke and a mask that displayed a shifting 8-bit emote. Currently, it was a xD face.

This is bullshit. I stride to the armor area. There are so many metal armors, and they look heavy. I won’t be able to move in these. I don’t know who I’m fighting, but my best bet is to rely on my speed, and this won’t do. I move behind the rack of armor and see the leather pieces. I quickly take a leather‑padded chest armor and leather‑padded pants. Then I go to the show area. All they have are boots. I pick something that fits me. After putting everything on, I look around and see Kanda with a huge double‑sided axe. She swings it in the air with skill. Sheril swings a metal spear around with ease, making it look effortless, and neither of them looks scared at all.

Norvin follows. The woman gets to her suit of armor that has the symbol in the middle. Her right palm rests a moment under the floating pink shard of rosmalt. Norvin follows her lead and does the same with his own regular scout armor. At the same time, they both hover their own shards along the edge of the chest. The metal of the chest opens up in a circle and inside is the compartment where the crystal goes. Both of them are placed within the armor and the circle armor doors shut. Bot suits open up. The arms split up and steam was released in the process. The legs, chest, and helm are next that open. Cat places her back and leans herself within the compartments of the suit as does Norvin. T

I suddenly became interested in the whole house as I enjoyed the amazing view of the circular waterfall with water pouring down from it. Pulling my gown up further, I walked as fast as my leg could take me. I tripped on something and fell hard on the tiled floor. Then I heard someone scoff. I raised my head to see Lorenzo folding his arms and leaning on the wall glaring hard at my clumsiness. I winced in pain. I tried to get up but then I realized I couldn't. My ankle hurts so much.

"I guess I underestimated the old man." Chloe frowned in confusion, watching as Lucas turned in his seat to look at her. The sight of him was enough to knock the air from her lungs. He was wearing a black Henley shirt that was stretched over his broad shoulder and muscled arms. He was muscled like two mountains guarding the door but Chloe could tell there was strength and agility packed into that hard body that only a well-trained Alpha could possess. It was too dark to see those hazel eyes that were the colour of the wilderness but Chloe thought she saw something akin to desire flash through them making her heart flutter like an excited bird.
