I’m your go-to person.” “Alright,” I said, leaning forward with my elbows on my knees. “What exactly do these people do? The Othos, I mean. What kind of business are they into?” She pressed a finger to her chin like she was thinking. “They’re involved in a lot of things, but their main business is the mines. The luminite mines.”

He cleared his throat and pointed to a spot on the map away from the main fortress. "Here. The Old Mines. They were abandoned a century ago because the rock was too unstable. They run directly under the Great Tree in the Silverfang Valley. The Silverfangs think the mines are haunted. They don't guard them." "Are they haunted?" Cole asked, leaning against the wall. "By things worse than ghosts," Merek said, appearing in the corner of the room. The other Alphas flinched, but Dominic didn't blink. "The Hunger has been leaking for a long time. The mines are where the shadows are thickest. It will be a hard crawl."

They said the last cart pulled out had a streak of glowing turquoise stones, like fire trapped in water.” “That’s the one,” I whispered. “Paraiba. God, even the story sounds cursed.” Ryan came beside me, holding two mugs of coffee. “You always did have a thing for lost causes.”

When he said this, Ludo glared at Philip deliberately while cursing him inwardly for being a big pervert! They walked around for a while before they chose a restaurant to sit down for a break. Not long after they sat down, they heard the discussions of other guests. “Hey, did you hear? They dug up some good stuff in Mystic Mine Three, a lot of jade stones and some funny little things.” “I just heard that the things dug up this time are likely to be thousands of years old. Just the jade alone is quite valuable.” “It’s Mystic Mine Seven that hasn't produced anything good in the past few years. I heard that something with bloodstains was dug up there three years ago. Since then, the pit was sea

They now must find where this second site was. That’s when Jessie raised her hand. “I’m sorry. I thought when they mentioned the first site that it was Alrick’s prophecy site.

Look down in the water bottom of the fountain." "Wow, That is so beautiful. The moons are in silver, and the fountain has a white bottom. The moons stand out, being that they are in silver. What kind of stones are those in the bottom?" She asks, taking in every aspect of the fountain. "They are Moonstones and Selenite. I thought you might love it." "Yes, it is the most beautiful fountain I have ever seen, and the flowers around it and the walkways really set it off. This place feels peaceful and happy."

"Why this?" Honestly? The amethyst heart pendant with diamonds and pearls was a very pretty little thing, but more than that, it screamed Brynne's name. When I'd remembered it was in the collection of my portion of the lot from my mother's estate, I'd gone down to the vault and opened it up. There were other things in there as well, but maybe some more time was needed first before we delved any deeper with additional jewelry gifts.

The sounds of night surrounded them; the soft murmur of the leaves in the light breeze, crickets chirping, even a few frogs croaking in the distance. They were camped in a clearing in the midst of the Uyille Forest which grew thickly along the lower hills of the Haedral Mountains. The range rose in a long line in a northeasterly direction, and further North, beneath their stony heights, lay the mines of the various Dwarf clans.
