Darkness Rifts Throne World Novels & Stories

Every fracture outside answered at once, pulsing like massive eyes opening across the sky. The voice returned. Closer now. You broke the balance. The Hollow King moved immediately toward Ethan. So did the Null. But before either reached him— The entire sanctuary shook. A fracture opened directly above the mountain. Not small. Massive. The sky itself split apart while darkness beyond reality became visible overhead. Soldiers across the walls screamed warnings as something enormous emerged slowly from the opening. Not a fleet. Not a city. A throne. A colossal black throne suspended in recursive light descended through the fracture while countless broken worlds rotated around it like orbiting d

They were bruised, their spirits frayed by the encounter with their own shadows. "She’s right," I whispered, looking at the central spire. "The throne is a vacuum. It wants me to give up everything that makes me human so I can become a perfect vessel for the dark." Thane walked over to me, his face bloody but his eyes burning with a fierce, stubborn light. He grabbed my hand—the one with the violet veins—and laced his fingers through mine. "Then don't be a vessel," he said. "Be an anchor. If the throne wants to pull you into the Abyss, let it try. We are the ones holding the rope."

He wanted ro doom us all to eternal shadow. I dove again, tearing a Blackthorn captain from his mount, but the ground shook violently. Elara's power shattered the possession, as Thorne's scream echoed across the battlefield like thunder, but the backlash triggered way worse. A massive void rift tore open right in the palace heart, a swirling black maw that started swallowing everything. Walls crumbled inwardly, while pack members vanished into it with terrified howls. The kingdom itself was threatening to fold into nothingness. Cassidan's thought blasted through: "The rift is feeding on her labor surges! We have to close it now!"

'Once you fall down there, your physical body, soul and mana energy will fall apart due to the nature of the barrier set in there. '. . the mana flowing in you will be attracted to the closest compatible vessel. . .' Is it going to happen anytime now? Oh yes, he is going to be a significant part of the second destruction of the Kingdom, what an honour. "Thea. . Johann. . " he whispered to himself, facing up from where he believes he fell from. 'I guess this marks the end of it. . .' Having no other choice but to surrender himself, he inhaled the heavy air he grasps, and closed his eyes.

That sly old fox. Couldn't blame him though. I had a knack for getting into trouble almost every time I left the house. The council had even once threatened to confiscate my talisman as punishment for breaking laws. Like I would ever let them. My talisman was an anklet with an emerald stone and strange insignia. Every registered vampire received a talisman from the council which enabled them to walk in sunlight without burning. Every council had a special witch to create talismans for the vampires they oversaw. I was different, I knew it. I never knew my mother. I was found in Lycan Woods by Tiberius who was hunting. Lycans and Vampires maintained a treaty, so far neither disrupted the peace

"Think of what we could be, my love. You are a new powerful species, the wolves answer to you. We can make more of what you are. We can rule together. Forget the vampire kingdom, forget them all. Be with me" The nightmare comes back to me, Thorne on my throne. His hand ripping my hair out. "You think I want to be with you. You are a plague on this earth" I speak turning on the spot. Not sure of where he is lurking. His laugh echos again. "You may not have my mark, but I made you. You've always belonged to me and you still belong to me"

Because behind me… something else woke up. A shape that wasn’t Kaelith rather something older__Worse. The Rift screamed open wide and raw, revealing nine burning eyes in the darkness. Each eye blinked once and then the voice came. “The Convergence has been touched. The gate is open. We are coming.” The Rift begins collapsing. Freya clutches her child, sprinting through the unraveling path as the nine-eyed being reaches toward her. The anchor to Finnick flickers—then starts to snap.

Their expressions all looked tense, with frowns furrowed and hardened jaws. "We need to start preparing because a major war seems inevitable," Father said. "Several kingdoms are experiencing crises simultaneously. The Eastern Kingdom is experiencing the massive civil war their land has ever seen. "The Southern Kingdom lost their next leader, who had been betrothed to the strongest Alpha in their kingdom. The man accused the King of doing it on purpose and threatened to remove him from his throne. The Western Kingdom is facing serious internal problems within its palace. I believe this is happening under the influence of outsiders," Father explained.

But that throne changed us all. Even me and him. He was once my guard, my protector. Now, he’s after my kingdom. The path to the throne is paved with thorns, pain and blood. To win, I’ll risk it all. I should risk all of that I have even if my heart is included. --- ETHAN ASH PENDLETON

[Raven] Draknor, Kyrell, and the others closed in, their attention fixed on Zxlorthon. “Classify everything that has happened in this room since the throne’s disappearance. Effective immediately,” Draknor said, his tone controlled. “Understood,” Kyrell replied. “But the elder council will demand an explanation for the throne’s disappearance, the earthquakes… and soon enough, Alpha Asher’s absence.
