City In Ruins Novels & Stories

As if a part of the earth crust had broken from the planet and was now drifting in far space independently. There were countless such fragmented lands hovering around us, but they were so far away they were nothing more than glowing lines and dots, even with my wolf’s vision. The city I looked at was like a jungle of small buildings, but three architectures stood out among them. “What’s that?” I pointed towards the only water body I could see in that city. “Now, you want me to be your personal tour guide as well?” Ruin taunted lazily. “Well…” I shrugged. “I am just as new to this place as you are. I might have never found it had I never met you. So it looks to me exactly what it might look t

I see the warm liquid running over her smooth skin, from the top, over her plump lips, between the moulds of her breasts and down the smooth taut skin of her stomach and then… Fuck I need to clear my mind. The raid was centred around the ruins of one of the smaller cities that fell. The city was built in a perfect defensive position. They built the city on top of the flat surface of a mountain, with the smaller settlements built below the city in the surrounding areas. The plan is to first clear the surrounding area before heading into the city. Years of abandonment has left no traces of humans ever having resided here. The creatures have now made this their home. Nests spread across the str

Rune The first thing I did after getting Blizzard calmed down, and ensuring Damien had really left, was change into some dry clothes, twirling my hair up into a messy bun as I reentered the destroyed front room. Fortunately, a thorough inspection of the rest of the house revealed that I was alone, and that it didn’t appear Damien had touched much while he was here unattended. I was dying for a shower, the frigid rain having soaked me through to the bone, but I knew Blizzard would have attempted to leap into the walk-in shower with me due to the thunder still reverberating every now and then.

Aegis was laughing less these past few months. Up here on the cliff, the ruined city spread before them. The towering buildings were now half-buried in the sand and there was nothing to be seen, save for the black and burned buildings being engulfed by brown dust. It's like the desert was trying to erase the once mighty Hearth, the City of Healing but the world couldn't really accept it, nor its sins be forgotten. Hearth. Just thinking of it left a bitter taste to Raeya's mouth. Hearth was the center of everything---technology, industry, education, and dreams. But one mistake had reduced the city into what was it now---a dead, rotting history.

Their hands slipped out of hers, and they just kept walking off into the darkness. "Wait!" Jaida called, but before they could hear her, they were gone. That's when the darkness disappeared. Jaida was now staring in awe as the scene filtered in around her. Everything had been destroyed. The city buildings were in pieces on the ground, some still crumbling away while others were nothing more than debris. Above her hung a cold red sky, a few white clouds floating aimlessly over the broken city below. What happened here?

I can feel my hands shaking as I pushed the door opened. And right there, there was Ellaine and Daevon together. Coincidentally, his eyes roamed to look at me and immediately distanced himself from his girl. “H-Honey,” he called out. Slowly, a bitter smile crept in to my face, “For the second time, you ruined me,” I mumbled and quickly turned away from them and ran. I quickly headed towards the elevator down to ground floor to fetch my car. Tears started rolling down my cheeks despite me wiping them over and over. I pulled my car door opened and closed it. For one last time, I looked at the building before starting the engine.

And as they looked out over the city, bathed in the light of the rising sun, they knew that no matter what challenges lay ahead, they would face them together, bound by a bond that could never be broken. Chapter 22: The Legacy Continues In the days and weeks that followed, the city began to flourish once more, its streets bustling with life and its people filled with hope for the future. Under the guidance of the traveler and the Council of Elders, new alliances were forged, old wounds were healed, and the city's defenses were strengthened against any future threats that may arise. But amidst the celebrations and the rebuilding efforts, the memory of the darkness that had once threatened the

"Dun dun dun dun... dun dun dun dun..." Inside the motorhome, Jake sat in the driver's seat, fingers tapping along to the beat against the wheel. Through the massive bulletproof windshield, Crucible City ahead — once home to millions — now lay sprawled beneath the gray sky like a dead steel beast. Ruined skyscrapers pierced through the clouds, their outer walls crumbling, revealing rust-eaten steel skeletons. And along the four entrances into Crucible City, what had once been broad thoroughfares had been transformed into a despair-inducing steel wall of a defense line.

Scaling the mountain was no easy feat, but their determination kept them going. As they reached the summit, they saw a breathtaking sight: a sprawling city, long abandoned and reclaimed by nature, lay before them. The buildings were in ruins, their walls crumbling and covered in vines, but the city's former glory was still evident. As they explored the city, they found that it was once a bustling hub of trade and commerce, filled with riches beyond their wildest dreams. However, the city had been abandoned for centuries, and all of its treasures lay hidden away. Rorik and Lyra searched every corner of the city, scouring its ruins for clues to its lost treasures. They discovered ancient tombs

The ash fell like powdered gray rain, soft and constant, as if the city itself had been dusted for burial. Jessica puller her collar up against the wind and felt the grit sting her cheeks. The skyline was a jagged silhouette of broken glass and bent steel; the streets were littered with memory. "This was a city once", Aurora whispered, tiny voice swallowed by the wide, empty avenue. "It still is", Romeo said, but his voice was low. His eyes swept the ruins, calculating and cold. "It's a city with wounds. And people stitched into those wounds".
