Can You Feel The Mountains Tremble Novels & Stories

Nobody moved. The tremor had stopped, but the word settled over the city. Cracks had appeared in the stone beneath their feet, a few rocks tumbled from the cliffs surrounding the northern gate, it echoed loudly in the air. Everyone looked toward the mountain. "It wasn't an earthquake," Selene said quietly. One of her captains frowned. "You can never be sure you know?" She didn't take her eyes off the mountain. "Because earthquakes don't just happen once." As if to prove her right, everything remained still, not even a vibration.

The real question was: what were they trying to distract us from? The answer arrived seconds later, the entire mountain shook. A violent tremor ripped through the sanctuary, stone cracked, dust fell from above and guards immediately reached for weapons. Kaelis stumbled slightly, I caught her before she hit the floor. The contact lasted less than a second. Heat flashed between us. Then another tremor hit stronger. "What was that?" one of the guards screamed but nobody answered cos nobody knew. A distant boom echoed through the mountain. Moonspire's alarm bells suddenly erupted throughout the fortress. The sound echoed even this deep underground. Every guard in the chamber went pale, the capta

" Then, with Wendy firmly nestled in his arms, he turned around without so much as another glance back. Reuben was so frantic that there were tears in his eyes. "Yelena, don't be scared. I'll think of a way to get you out!" he said with a trembling voice. Not long after, I felt the earth shake again. Debris started to cave in around me, and dust fell into my eyes and mouth. A slab of concrete fell on me hard, and I think I heard the sound of bones breaking. My organs felt like they were being crushed to nothing.

The mountain exhaled. It was the only way Amara could describe it. The ground beneath her feet trembled, not with the violent fury of an earthquake, but with the slow, deliberate rhythm of something awakening after an impossibly long sleep. Tiny cracks spread across the ancient stone, glowing with threads of silver light that pulsed like veins beneath the earth. No one dared to speak. The laughter that had briefly lifted the heaviness of the battlefield vanished as every eye turned toward the opening staircase carved into the heart of the mountain.

To my right, the mountain rose nearly vertical, the rock face covered in moss, small plants, and moisture from underground springs that made everything slick and treacherous. My legs began to shake uncontrollably, tremors starting in my thighs and radiating down to my knees and ankles. Each step required conscious thought and deliberate effort, my body no longer responding automatically to my commands. There was a disconnect between what I wanted my body to do and what it was actually doing, like my brain was sending signals that were getting garbled somewhere along the way. Sweat poured down my face and back despite the cool mountain air that should have kept me comfortable. I could feel it

I close my eyes, pinch the bridge of my nose with my other hand to chase away the sudden spinning world. I don't get to stabilize myself before a roar, as if something huge is crying out, makes the entire mountain tremble. The wolves get away from the edge, just in time to evade a boulder falling on the ledge, taking the part with it. I stare in shock, then slowly look towards my bloodied hand. Wide-eyed, I stare, the vibration beneath my fingers makes my entire arm shake. Like something out of a fable, the blood dripping from my hand moves.

When he hears the rope snap, he quickly throws away the remains and frees Indra and Vimar. The ground suddenly tremors underneath their feet and all three gasps in surprise. Indra stands up and looks around. There it was again, a slight vibration running through the grass. The tremors increase in strength and vibrates like a powerful pulse lifting the dirt in small waves. Vimar gets on his feet and pulls Brage towards him to protect his beloved. More seismic waves shake the earth so hard that their teeth rattle in their mouths. Leaves, twigs and large branches fall from the trees around them and the ground moves like waves on a stormy sea. Earth, sand and rocks shoots up hitting their bodies

Impossible. Ancient. Magnificent. And entirely absent from every map ever created. Ryden stared. Speechless for once. The mountain seemed alive somehow. Not physically. But spiritually. Like a sleeping giant slowly opening its eyes. Then Lucien felt it. A pulse. Not from the counterpart bond. Not from resonance. From the mountain itself. The sensation rolled across the land. Ancient. Powerful. Calling. Every wolf in the expedition felt it. Several staggered. One nearly fell from his horse.

"Some expedition journals even mention hearing phantom voices." I arch a brow. "Phantom voices?" She nods, eyes bright. "The frequencies are too low for us to consciously hear, but our brains still register them. Many mountaineers report feeling like they're being watched or followed." I glance at the storm raging beyond the glass. Somehow, I fail to share Nora's enthusiasm for her 'fun facts.' Then she cups a hand dramatically to her ear. "What are you--" "Shh! Listen. Can't you hear it?"

They followed the locals, bypassing the collapsed road and shaky suspension bridge, and made their way towards the neighboring village. However, just as they were about to reach their destination, the ground beneath their feet suddenly trembled. The tremor persisted for a while, followed by faint, grumbling sounds from the surroundings. Immediately, the villager at the forefront shouted, "Run! It's a landslide!" From halfway up the mountain behind them, there came a loud rumble. Melanie and Jeffrey instinctively turned around, witnessing large, earth-colored boulders rolling down rapidly from the towering rocky mountain. Jeffrey reacted swiftly, taking a step forward without hesitation. "Sta
