Novel & Cerita Cidhna Mine

I asked, getting to my feet. Hilda pointed at the map’s respective locations as she spoke. “Through the Beautiful Forest. A bridge would be built above the lake. Through the school district. They will construct a concrete road–” My eyes were stuck on the easiest option. “What is here? Along this line?” I asked, pointing at a midpoint between the outer families’ dwelling and the Beautiful Forest. “Our copper mines. They cut through the entire mountain…range…oh no.” My eyes flew to the time. 9:35 am.

"They're everywhere. We'll be sitting ducks in the open." Damian looks at me. At the box. "The old silver mines. There's an entrance two miles east. Narrow tunnels. Only one way in, one way out. We can hold them there." Caden nods. "I know it. I'll lead." We run. The forest blurs around us. Maya stays close, her breathing ragged. Greta stumbles every few steps but keeps moving. Marcus doesn't speak, just follows, his eyes empty. I can hear them behind us. Footsteps. Howls. They're gaining.

It never once exploded but it has streams underground that deliver minerals from the Volcano to the mainland. For Sarah and Grace to grab their needed resources, they need to go to the mining area. The mining area is a couple of miles away from the city's land. Since they cannot use flying through nitrogen equipped with some humanoids, they went they’re through feet. When they went to the mining area, they cannot believe their eyes seeing a lot of people working in and out of the cave. The humanoids were previously made to do such labor but taking a look right now, it seems that the fate of humans was inverted.

The engine of the SUV ticked as it cooled, the only sound in the vast, empty silence of the northern ridge. Ophelia stood at the edge of the dirt track, her breath hitching in the thin, cold air. Below her, the North Mine looked like a jagged wound in the side of the mountain. It wasn’t the gleaming, high-tech facility of the Blue Core... it was a skeletal ruin of rusted iron and rotting timber, long abandoned by everyone except the shadows.

Old Man Grimsby’s family had leased a nearby mine to the Good Rock Mining Company. The mine had been closed down for the past 12 years, but there were still buildings there, surrounded by security fencing. The security fencing wasn’t hard to get past. Local kids and thrillseekers had already seen to that with wire cutters.

His smile didn't fade and he practically vibrated with excitement. “Very cool,” I told him. I loved that he looked excited. “Isn't Navia known for some cool new technologies?” I didn't know much about the country. Just that it was located somewhere near Sweden and everyone wore cool sweaters. Freddie nodded. “And since Paradisa has the largest known lithium mine, it could be a very profitable agreement. For both countries. It could be an amazing alliance.”

Five years of silence is a long time for some, but for me, it was the sound of progress. Chaos Valley was no longer just a hidden sanctuary between two mountains; it was a global phenomenon. I had expanded the territory, acquiring the surrounding foothills and turning the rugged peaks of the Twin Sentinels into the most lucrative mining operation in the hemisphere. We didn’t just pull gold from the earth; we pulled rare iridescent gems that fueled my private jewelry line, Silversmith.

He was someone branded as the warrior whose sixth sense is unlocked, unlike for most people who have only normal senses. “Since I am gifted by the Shore with keen perception, I can mark when I spot an irregularity. Halite is obvious because of its gray color and unstable feel. Tracking down the sources of the other materials was made easy, then. Recently, we found out that Halite is being produced by a certain company in the mountains near the Khenealm borders. We were supposed to head there, not until we passed by here. And guess what we found?” Zed looked at Palmarium kids who cowered under his stare save for Fahazi. Raeya was starting to piece the story together bit by bit and she knew wh

Then the pieces began to fall into place so quickly it made my head spin. “And we have one,” I said slowly, my voice rising with realization. “No… not just one. A mine.” My eyes widened. “There’s a Geira mine near the lake. It’s in the older records—restricted files. I catalogued them last month.” Damon nodded once. “Exactly.” A strange mix of disbelief and adrenaline surged through me. “So… we use that?” “As leverage,” he confirmed. “We offer access to the mine in exchange for their help.”
