Crackling Shards Novels & Stories

Crack! Crack, crack, crack, crack! A series of faint yet distinct sounds, like eggshells breaking, rang out in everyone's ears. Ding Hao looked up and saw the transparent shield finally cracking like spider webs. With the bombardment point as the center, they began to spread out in all directions, increasing in number and density! "It's about to break down!" "Haha, this damn boundary formation is finally going to break down!" Someone cheered.

This get away is more of a toxins related one. I need to get my mind off this bullshit. Now. S H A T T E R E D "ASSHOLE!" I grunted while laying another punch to the jocks now broken, bloody, damaged face. He was almost knocked out cold on the dirty alleyway ground as I kept his body pinned down which was almost two times bigger than mine. He pissed me off at the wrong time. I looked up for a split second during my chain of punches and that's when I saw it. The red and blue flashing lights.

she cried again. Her voice became a tether between them. He latched onto it, each cry fueling his will. The distance between them closed slowly, agonizingly. But Marcus was not finished. He stepped back toward the shard, placing his palm against its surface. The entire fortress shook as the shard unleashed a violent pulse. The floor cracked, the ceiling groaned, and shadows erupted like a flood. They filled the chamber, twisting into forms both monstrous and human, hollow-eyed figures with claws, faces frozen in eternal screams.

Dark energy crackles, lashing out. Get down! Kieran’s voice, useless and frantic, but the instinct is mine. I throw myself sideways. The corrupted earth where I stood explodes. Chunks of blighted soil rain down. The backlash hits the corrupted form. A shriek, unearthly, agonized. The carefully constructed body… fractures . Mossy skin splits, revealing writhing darkness beneath. Glowing veins rupture, spilling sickly light like pus. It stumbles back, clutching at its chest, howling. Not pain. Rage. Betrayal.

The ribs part like curtains. Inside: a cathedral of frozen blood and candlelight. In the center, suspended in a sphere of black ice, float three perfect crown shards—pulsing like dying hearts. I step forward and speak the softest, cruelest word I own now: Thaw. The ice explodes into harmless steam. The shards scream (literally) as they tear free and slam into my bloodstone in a triple flash of crimson lightning. Crown HUD: 38 / 47 → 41 / 47

I managed to get out of the bed I was laying on Luckily my hands weren't chained or anything I tested out my arms and feet Whatever those healers had done they did it pretty good because I wasn't in pain I needed to find a way out of here but first I needed a weapon I looked around and my eyes landed on a full body mirror I did what a normal person would do in times like this I broke it and took the sharpest piece while being mindful of the broken shards on the floor I prayed to the deities for the door to be unlocked and surprisingly it was .

Her eyes roamed around and fell on her dressing mirror. The mirror that she would always spend a lot of time in the morning in front of, trying to fix her hair, her lipstick shade, and all of her makeup. The mirror stand was all pink as well with pink drawers and white taping at the edges. Her room could just serve as a display of pink in its beauty. She walked to her mirror stand and cleared away all the cosmetics on it in anger. All the cosmetics slithered away to the floor at once, making a loud chattering noise.

Crissa announced. "What will we play?" I asked, but she only winked at me. We got on the stage and they started to string their guitars. When I heard the intro, I pounced the drums. ‘Disrespect, it's all that you do to me, so messed up, the way that you're treating me. Brace yourself, there is something I want you to know, you should know! Replaceable is one way you're saying it! You've made your bed, now you can lay in it! 'Cause one day soon, I'll have a brand new you!

The golden arrows on the dark brown old clock in the cream colored office seemed to mock her. She had been staring at them for over ten minutes and it felt like they had not changed a bit. She started to look around the office for something else to distract her. The only none expensive thing in this office was the dark mahogany desk she had had shipped in six months ago after the old one had completely broken under weight of heavy files. She turned to the right and saw the blue crystal ball she had gotten him a long time ago. It made the room a little more lively.

David narrowed his eyes and looked at the pile of gems again. "Get the largest of the bunch and put it...here" he used the click to select an area away from the other crystals. "Nice, now throw the shard towards it with all your might." The skeleton repeated the same movement as before, when the projectile collided dead in the center, a loud cracking sound resounded in the cave, the shard didn't disappear or was crumbled to dust as David expected. Instead, it pierced through the bigger one and was stuck on the floor, intact.
