Diamond Cutters Sonic Novels & Stories

I screamed, shielding the baby as Julian and Cassian scrambled to pin Xander to the seat. His eyes were rolled back, his teeth grinding with enough force to shatter. This wasn't a sci-fi d******d; it was a conditioned response. Arthur Thorne had spent Xander's childhood grooming him, and the final "gift" in the diamond was a recording—a high-frequency audio trigger meant to activate a hypnotic state of total obedience. "The audio!" Cassian roared, grabbing the diamond fragment from the floor. He realized it wasn't glowing; it was vibrating. "It’s an ultrasonic transmitter! It’s playing Arthur’s voice directly into his auditory nerve!"

I said to Damien. “What was what?” He replied. I recognized that sound, it was a compound silencer. A tool The Academy gave us. It was specifically ingrained not to be able to be picked up by a Vampires super sensitive hearing. A lot of Hunters used them, I even had before.

Duncan was the IT for me. “Do you know what this is?” his voice was scruffy, hoarse to be exact. I craned my neck to stare at where his voice was coming from, and before I could fully turn, I was met with the sight of a very white leather band, lined with... “A collar.” -over a million diamonds.

No spark, no feedback. “Keep going,” Rion says, and I move through the table: a heavy obsidian knife, a hooked sickle, a baton with oddly shaped weights fitted at each end, a slingshot with a carved bone handle. I heft each one, feeling for something—heat, cold, pressure, a tingle at the base of my skull. Nothing. Dorian passes me a dagger, the hilt banded in copper. “My best guess, based on your fighting style and size. But I could be wrong.”

Xyla chuckled, but she didn’t reply to Sharon. Soon, Zim Hummers brought three handsome staff members onto the stage. Just as they did before, the four of them carefully moved the jade rock onto the cutting machine… “Just cut it once in the center…” Xyla looked at Zim and said. Zim smiled. After drawing on the rock with a marker pen, he quickly switched on the cutting machine. Soon, the cutting of the original jade rock was complete. Along with Zim in front, the crowd all held their breath while they shifted their attention to the jade rock.

I told the Phantomhive, praying that my sunlight power could save him from the poison that lay in his blood. Why did she have to use a diamond blade? This would have been so much easier if it was silver or steel.

Yvonne's assistant served them fruits and chimed in, "We have just cut the stone." Nicole was surprised. "You were the one who bid for it!" Yvonne smiled and got up. "Let's go. I'll show you." They entered the studio, and Nicole immediately noticed the pink diamond. She was dazzled. "T-This is amazing!" Her professional side took over. She analyzed the stone carefully. From the purity of the diamond to the craftsmanship of the cutting of stone, she sang praises all around. Suddenly, she remembered something. She looked at Yvonne worriedly.

The Obsidian enforcers were similarly incapacitated, their wolf forms struggling to maintain coherence under the sonic assault. Laila felt the agony, but she also felt the silver armor pulse in response. The metal acted as a dampener, absorbing the frequencies and converting them into a low hum. She stood up, her jaw set, and walked toward the control panel at the end of the hall. She didn't press buttons. She placed her hand on the panel and sent a massive surge of lunar energy through the system. The emitters exploded in a shower of sparks, the agonizing sound cut short.

How could he be so foolish? "You fool!" Diana cursed. "You asshole!" Julitta chuckled. "Don't curse at him, his spirit could get upset and leave." Diana cried the most. "Can you... Can you take the bullets out? Carefully." "Sure. Just hold the boy." Julitta said. Diana took Coco from Julitta's hands while Julitta sat carefully beside Calhoun. She took the metal picker which Diana had used to take the bullets out. "Why silver?" She asked.

But Damian pointed to the figures around the wolf. They were Shadow Claw warriors. They were holding instruments. Horns. Drums. "They aren't just watching," Damian said. "They're playing. They're creating resonance." "Sonic tuning," Kai said, standing up. "It's not magic. It's acoustics. The sphere is crystal, right? Or star-metal glass? It vibrates. If you hit the right frequency, you can shatter it... or you can stabilize it." "We don't have instruments," I said. "We have voices," Wulfric said. "And we have the room." He tapped his cane on the floor. The sound echoed perfectly, a pure, ringing note. "This chamber," Wulfric said, looking up at the domed ceiling. "It is an echo chamber. A pa
