Chaos Crystal Sonic Novels & Stories

It was already close, too close. "NEVER!!!" I pushed Syberus to the side with all the strength I could muster. It gripped me with withered, bony arms and I felt the sharp pain as its teeth were driven into my neck. "BROTHER!" I heard Syberus scream as the demon ripped away the flesh on the side of my neck. I heard the sound of silver against bone as Syberus drove his sword into the demons side. It shrieked again even louder than before and fell back to the ground.

She spun back around, wishing she had stayed home. "That's Onyx's son, Erick," Josh told her. Crystal heard him chuckle from behind them, she took a quick peek over her shoulder to see that he was talking to his brother, who had more muscles than Erick, it was rumored that he could control people, while Erick could control the elements and weather. Crystal turned back to face Onyx, who was still talking and saying how he will win. She noticed something about him, even though he kept saying that they will fight. He never said that they will win, just that he will win. As if he didn't expect them to return alive.

“Don’t worry about me! Break the loop!” ​Cassian didn’t look at the core. He looked at the seam on his chest. He reached out and grabbed the central spindle of the engine with both hands. The diamond light flared with such intensity that the entire Great Echo was washed in a brilliant, sterile white. The sound of the Salt Singers reached a crescendo, a single, perfect note that harmonized with the vibration of Cassian’s soul.

But the light wasn't the weapon. The crystals in the ceiling—the fragments of the Starfall—reacted to the intense magnesium burn. They began to vibrate. They didn't explode. They sang. A high-pitched sonic resonance emitted from the crystals. It was a frequency that bypassed the ears and went straight to the brain stem. It sounded like a thousand tuning forks screaming in unison. "ARGH!" I fell to my knees, clutching my head. It felt like someone had driven a red-hot spike into my skull. My vision blurred. My regeneration halted.

"I promised I wouldn't hurt you. I don't even care who you fuck." Mina stepped forward and passed the crystal to her. Sera held it between her thumb and forefinger, the facets catching the firelight. "But you should listen to this," Sera said. She flicked her fingernail against the side of the crystal. The sound that came out was grainy, distorted by the wind of the balcony, but it was unmistakable. I heard the rhythmic, heavy thumping of the drums in the background. Then I heard the slapping. The wet, rhythmic sound of skin hitting skin.

All that mattered was getting to Aria. Kane burst from the trees in his massive wolf form, Victor right behind him. The hunters scattered, their ritual disrupted, but not before the female hunter pulled something from her pocket — a crystal that pulsed with captured hybrid energy. “We have what we need,” she called out, even as Liora's power drove them back. “The sample is enough. He comes, little hybrid. Your grandfather comes to claim what's his.” They vanished in flashes of transported light, taking the crystal with them. But I barely noticed, too focused on reaching Aria as she collapsed, her power finally exhausting itself.

“If that’s true, then maybe…” There was a deafening roar in the room before she could finish, and the sound echoed off the dividers like a thunderbolt. Underneath them the earth shuddered, and a crystal erupted with light, piercing the chamber in an instant of comfort. “If That's correct, then it's possibly we can utilize it. If we are able to saddle the energy from the crystal, we could be able to…” Before she could finish up, the chamber was all of a sudden filled with a stunning thunder, the sound resonating off the dividers like thunder. The ground shook underneath them, and the crystal flared with light, casting the chamber into sharp relief.

But as quickly as it came, the chaos began to fade, growing distant until it vanished completely. In its place, an overwhelming sense of peace wrapped itself around me, like a soft, comforting embrace. The pain, the anger, the noise—it all dissolved, leaving me in a serene, silent world, where nothing could touch me.

"You were the shadow to my light..." Alan Walker’s Faded. Her old ringtone. Heart hammering in her chest, she snatched up the phone, her fingers trembling as she looked at the caller ID. Selene. Her stomach lurched. No. No, no, no. This couldn’t be real. She hesitated before answering, forcing herself to steady her voice. “Hello?” “Ina! Heyy, did you just wake up? Did you forget we were going on a shopping spree today?” Selene’s voice was cheerful, sweet—so innocent, so fake.

Luca “So, I take it that you do know who they are?” I asked, watching her clear her throat, visibly uneasy with the direction of our conversation. “Your future Luna should have learned to control the Crystal’s power by now. What do you need the sages for?” “My mate is struggling to control her powers,” I said, keeping my tone firm. “She keeps blacking out, and the Crystal feeds on her anger. She needs someone who can help her contain it, that’s why I need to find them.”
