Cidhna Mine Mga Nobela at Kwento

I add another bullet to the head skipping the pools of blood. They don't deserve to live. “Maya,” I call. “It's me Cassian,” I mumble moving to the dot. I check where the tracker shows and it remains in the bin. Is she hiding in there? I open it and a little girl sits there clutching the necklace tightly while the other one is on her mouth. “Please don't shoot me,” she cries looking down. I pick her up placing her on the ground. I scrunch my nose from the disgusting smell.

Inside, its core revealed spiral-like veins that seemed to emit a dim, sinister glow. She knew exactly what this mineral was. It was called Thanorite, a "dead" mineral once found near the Aetherfall Mountains. It had the ability to release toxins slowly in damp environments. Once it contaminated a water source, it would not only poison the water but seep into the soil, affect crops, animals, and eventually, people. The contamination was slow and hard to detect, but once it began, it could not be stopped.

The VIP hospital wing felt too clean for a place that should’ve been dripping with pain. I walked across polished marble floors that mirrored me like some reluctant ghost. The air was cold, almost sterile. Just like Claudia. Queen of the frozen world with threats wrapped in silk. I thought I was ready. But my heart still hammered wrong when I stopped in front of a cherrywood door with a small plate: Theo Rodriguez, Suite V.7. I drew in a breath. Once. Twice.

I said after a moment, “I was thinking of coming to find you.” Her brows lifted. “Really? Why?” “Well,” I shrugged, “I have questions. You seem to know your way around this place, so I figured I’d ask you.” Hannah’s face lit up. “Then ask away. 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.”

All our years of exploring are not in vain. He read the message again and again before he digested it. “Blue Diamond in Canterbury? How is that possible? Blue diamonds are found only in a few mines in the world: the Cullinan mine in South Africa, the Argyle Mine in Australia, and the Goloconda mine in India. How can they say that they found it in Canterbury?” He mulled over. Whether true or false, he resolved to get to the root of it. He looked at the senders name and he saw Ambrose Harsh. Likewise, he searched out how Gen. Hanklin addresses him and did the same.

As they thought of this, one of them knelt on the ground with a thud and choked up as he said, “Just ask me what you want to know, Sir. I will tell you everything that I know!” When the other six men saw this, they immediately knelt with him and said loudly, “I will definitely tell you everything that I know too!” Charlie nodded and asked, “The first question I want to ask is where is your base located?” The man who had knelt first said, “Our base is a copper mine called Candace in the port city of Limassol in Cyprus.” “Copper mine?” Charlie frowned and continued asking, “Is this copper mine operated by your organization? Describe the specifics inside!”

The Moon Goddess would bless his purpose, he believed it. “A long story as the beginning of the answer to your question, my love. But that's why I was in that cave. I was trying to collect the remaining stones that might still contain gold there. Because of the heavy requirements imposed to meet my mother at that time, I had to collect a lot of gold and diamonds. In the mine there was competition between slaves. They could kill each other only for a handful of stone. I had to work there without attracting much attention. I decided to go to the caves of the former mine owned by Alpha Zack and met Netra and several other people who looked injured and hungry….” Cillian explained.

Hertia was furious at the unreasonable price. Hertia had thought that Cudo would sell the mine for 1500 gold coins at most, but this was even more than that. It didn't make sense that a mine with diamonds that were almost gone was worth a region's budget for a year. Besides, the mine was only worth a maximum of 600 gold coins. It was obvious that Cudo was playing with himself at the moment, if there was no Regina at his side, he might have finished off the greedy man in front of him.

Hannah murmured, “it must have been terrible.” “Yes, well, it’s over now. We won, the evil guy lost, and all will be right with the world when we get your mother back,” Michael replied tersely. “So, what do you have for us, Gabriel? How do we get to that abandoned mine?” “Well, if you look at this map, it looks like there’s an abandoned mine at the base of this mountain here,” he explained, pointing to an area he had enlarged. “It’s part of the Goldfield Mountains, right next to the Superstitions. From the looks of it, I figure that’s exactly where the entrance is. But Hannah, you mentioned something about a cave-in?”
