East Of Eden Novels & Stories

Eden and Tony were on a bench at a sail. Thrilled by an adventure, the youngest of the four have set sail in a small yacht towards the South Canal of their country. The small area, a remote island should be their abode until the Phoenix had evolved completely. "Do you think she's going to vaporize this rock if we throw it at her?" Tony lifts a little stone, tumbling it in his hand as Eden thinks it would be a nuisance to throw rocks at someone who was meditating.

I answer as I continue what I am doing on the phone. “I knew that you were not paying attention” Eden says as she snatches my phone away from me. “Ohhhhhhhhh” I tell in dissatisfaction. “Now you can listen to what I have to say since your attention is not divided” she says making me roll my eyes at her “What exactly do you want from me miss Weston” I yell “I am telling you that you should be on your way home because you have been away for too long” she says and I roll my eyes.

I thought that when he heard about his son, then he'd feel bad and ask Elena and Rowan to move in with him. Not for him to throw her into the Cell. With her in the cell, I won't be able to carry out my plan. I'd hoped that when she moved in with him, Eden will see this and move out in anger. That would cause a rift between them and that's when I'll come in. “And Eden? What about Eden? Is she still back at the pack?” “No, she returned to New York." Eden was back here? What exactly were these two planning?

The air smelled of ozone, clean steel, and old secrets. “This is tech Jade developed for Project Eden,” Adrian whispered. Grace tensed. “Project Eden?” Adrian’s jaw tightened. “It was supposed to be a failsafe. A utopia in case everything else fell apart. A place to repopulate the world... with genetically superior survivors.” Cassian let out a dry laugh. “A billionaire Noah’s Ark.” Grace touched the glowing wall. “But it was never finished.” Adrian stepped closer. “Unless Echo finished it for her.”

Edward nodded briefly before saying, “By the way, finish up the jobs you have on hand, and come with me to the south side for a few days. You might need to stay there for a while if no other issues come up.” The “south side” referred to Southeast Asia. It was also the center of Levin Enterprise’s shady arm. Jake’s heart raced. His throat dried up so much that he momentarily lost the ability to speak. He forced a calm look on his face and gulped, causing his Adam’s apple to bob once before replying grimly, “Alright, got it.”

The queen would return, taking back her rightful throne. “There is a river that cuts Eastonia in two,” I explain, now sitting in one of the armchairs across from Maddox. “Rifthold sits to the south-east. It encompasses a vast land–forest, desert, grass covered plains. It eventually meets the ocean, but I’ve never traveled that far.” I glance at the carafe of coffee on the table between us. Maddox watches my every move as I painfully lean forward to pour myself a cup. His eyes linger on the tattoos that snake up my forearms to my shoulders. He lingers on the pale silver scar on my shoulder–his daughter's teeth marks.

"The East is no longer a graveyard. It is a womb." The News of New Geneva Aris descended the stairs, his boots clicking sharply against the cold floor. "There hasn't been good news from the East in three generations. Why should I believe the wind has changed?" "Because this isn't the wind. This is masonry," the Traveler replied. He gestured back toward the horizon, where the sun was beginning its slow, crimson descent. "They call it New Geneva. Not a city of commerce, but a city of Order. A sanctuary of the Old Laws, built on the bones of the high mountains."

That was the best place to start looking. She didn't have to search long. There, etched into a patch of limestone, was a hastily made symbol: three concentric circles with a line connecting the curves: East. * * * "I found a clue," she said, teeth chattering as the cold began to set in her wet body. "We need to go east." "Are you sure?" "Definitely." Daniel was coiling the rope back up while she rested, but he paused to nod somewhere to the right. "While you were down there, I lengthened the rope on this side so I could keep searching.

"Place of origin?" "Eden grew up in Valencia, Spain," Tali read my scribbles. "Approximate age?" Nik asked. "Mid-sixties." Tali looked up at me. "How old is Eden? I would have guessed early twenties." I shook my head. Lifted two fingers, then gave her the ‘okay' sign. Tali blinked a couple times. "She's twenty-nine. Really?" I nodded. "Huh. I need to know her skincare routine then. Girl's looking aces."

Seeing their cluelessness, Adrian felt helpless. Why in the world were his traveling companions like this? After lamenting the situation, he said, “Because there’s some business that’s beneficial for us there, of course.” “Business?” The group was still confused, but Adrian could not be bothered to explain right now. They could only follow his directive. Everyone silently bowed their heads and started on their food. After having their fill, the group headed toward East Mount Ground. They had to leave Aquanic’s city stronghold to reach East Mount Ground. The establishment was located on a mountain in the east outside the city and thus called as such.
