Crumbling Mine Oblivion Novels & Stories

A final, devastating wave of dark magic surged from Magnus, and this time— The walls began to crack. The floor beneath them split open. Frederick barely had time to register what was happening before Derek grabbed him, yanking him back. “MOVE!” The entire dungeon was collapsing. Frederick’s vision blurred as dust and debris filled the air, bodies scrambling, shouts ringing in his ears— But over it all— Magnus’s scream. Raw. Agonized. Not human anymore. And then— Silence.

"I was trying to save you." "Same thing." Vane wiped blood from his mouth, kicking a piece of shattered crystal off the ledge. His broadsword was still embedded in the floor, crackling with residual magic. "Touchy moment over, guys. The floor is falling." He wasn't wrong. The obsidian island beneath us was crumbling, massive chunks breaking off and disappearing into the void below. The core that had tried to kill Ronan now pulsed with a sickly, dying light, and the cracks spreading across the surface weren't just cosmetic.

Thousands of tons of city foundation crashed down into the cellar, burying the light, the guards, and the Vessel in a tomb of wet earth and ancient, blighted stone. Julian lay in the dust, his breath hitching, his hand still outstretched toward the mountain of debris that now filled the room. The silence was absolute, save for a low, steady thrumming deep beneath the rubble. It was the heartbeat. It was rhythmic, heavy, and undeniably alive. From beneath the collapsed floor, a thin, jagged, obsidian vine snaked up through the dust, glowing with a soft, pulsating violet light. It wasn't seeking purchase; it was growing toward the surface, searching for something—or someone—to consume.

After all, it started out as a small flap, then a thud, till it became a thump, then a roar till it got to the extent where I couldn't ignore it no more like I was doing before. It was love, budding like a little flower. Fragile at first, it grew and got stronger till it could finally withstand the harsh breeze without uprooting and falling off. It sure is more than surreal this time, it's deeper and amazing than that. This time, it's euphoria. Like a drug I got addicted to. He's Silas, my drug.

I wanna get married. I wanna have child. The girls. I crashed down with thud. My head spinning as I felt my liquid on my forehead, making it's way down to my cheeks. I open my eyes to see blur sky and a black figure above me. I heard a muffled screams of the men before black dots appear in front of me. The dots slowly grew larger in size as I slowly let it consume me. I finally close my eyes.

Something in her voice—fragile, pleading—whatever restraint he had left. With a groan that sounded like surrender, he captured her mouth again, fiercer this time, like a man losing a battle with himself. Gentle at first. Careful. Until he lost his cool. Until the dam inside him shattered. The world dissolved into heat and tangled sheets. Pain and pleasure collided, tears stung her lashes as the sharp ache of first time gave way to something deeper—something she’d never felt before. Damien cursed softly against her skin, holding her tighter as if to protect her from the very fire he’d started.

I was crumbling, my wife knew that I was crumbling, she knew why I was crumbling, but she was waiting to see if I trusted her enough to confide in her. The truth was that I trusted her, but everything that had happened was so heavy my lips could never fathom speaking of them. I was silenced. Ginevra's arms came around me and my legs gave out on me. I crashed ass first against the floor, sobbing into her shoulder.

A fragile, hard-won relief began to warm his frozen core. Then, the mountain groaned. It was a deep, subterranean rumble that vibrated up through the earth. They all watched, frozen, as the hidden entrance they had escaped from—and the entire network of tunnels below—collapsed in on itself with a final, grinding roar. The earth settled, leaving only a scar of freshly disturbed rock and dirt. The entrance was gone. Sealed forever. The mine was gone. The evidence was gone. The bodies of the human slaves, the silver collars, the machinery of the Duke's operation—all of it, buried under tons of rock and seawater.

The Silver Mines did not merely extract ore; they extracted hope. As we crouched on the jagged ridge overlooking the complex, the sheer scale of the horror became apparent. The mountain, once a sacred peak of the southern ranges, had been hollowed out like a rotting tooth. Great iron refineries belched thick, silver-tinted smoke into the violet sky, and the sound of a thousand hammers striking stone created a rhythmic, soul-crushing percussion that drowned out the wind.
