Echoes From Agartha Novels & Stories

Adrian's POV My head buzzed. I looked up sharply at Marissa Cole, who had been waiting outside the studio for me to get off work. No wonder the student's voice had sounded familiar. I had heard it on her phone before. The producer shot to his feet in panic and urged me through my earpiece to keep talking. Marissa's eyes darkened. Holding her phone, she turned and walked away. I took a deep breath and forced out a smile. I held myself together and finished the closing remarks, ending right at the five-minute mark.

A wave of pure, unadulterated hatred surged through me, nearly snapping my composure. Silas’s lips moved, cold and dismissive. "Get out". My fingers tightened around the strap of my bag as the crushing desperation of my past life flashed before my eyes. However, before I could react, a voice exploded inside my head. [Whoa! She’s gorgeous! Is that look on her face... Is she already head-over-heels for me? No, no, Silas, stay composed. You can't let her think you're an easy catch. Right, keep it up. Stay cold. Make her want to chase you!]

After all, the real reason I came back was to find Carter. … The reunion took place in Hollingsport's most luxurious skyscraper—the very spot where Carter had once proposed to me. The moment Abigail and I entered the private room, the lively conversation died down instantly. "Regina Chavez?" "Am I seeing things? Is it really her? Didn't she pass away?" "Is this some kind of miracle, or are my eyes deceiving me? How could anyone survive falling off a bridge that high?" As I lowered my gaze, the memories of that night four years ago came rushing back.

she elbows me playfully I grabbed firm to her arm. Pulling her a little closer, my eyes darted to where Mathew stood, he glanced at me a brief smile appeared on his lip but vanished. Shifting my attention to what he was staring at, my gaze fell on Jonathan, who returned back his death stare raising a glass for a cheer in the air. "Keep your voice down Mia, please don't ruin me before the night ends" I begged her, she released giving me an assured smile. "Thank you."

Alexander placed the Restoration Crystal on the Moonstone. Instantly, an image flickered to life in the air. It was a recording of my final moments. I saw myself in my wolf form, dragging my broken body, staggering madly to Mia's side. I took her small, cold corpse gently in my mouth, trying to find a quiet place to lay her to rest. But on the way, I was ambushed by five rogues. They tore me away from Mia again, and this time, they threw me into the pack's Forbidden Zone.

Whispers of the past and warnings of the future were carried by the winds as they howled ferociously across the rocky mountain pass. Standing on the edge of a sheer cliff with a view of a valley shrouded in a spooky silver mist, Kael gripped Zara's hand tighter. In sharp contrast to the fierce resolve in Zara's gaze, the Heartstone pulsed gently in her bag, its brightness pale and uncertain. Zara whispered, "The Gate of Eternity is just beyond the veil," her voice scarcely heard above the clamour of nature's wrath. "But something doesn't feel right."

I'd now become the protagonist of such a scene, surrounded by flowers and cheers. This time, I would also be wilful for once and go along with this spontaneous romance. I put my finger through the ring. Jayce, with tears in his eyes, slowly slipped the ring onto my finger inch by inch until it fit snugly. Cecilia walked over and placed the pearl-and-diamond tiara on my head. Adam was in tears, but even as he wiped away his tears, he didn't forget to take pictures and videos of the scene.

“I reject the seed of gods.” “I choose love without consequence.” Lerder spoke next: “I surrender the thread of my lineage.” “I break the code of divine inheritance.” “I choose a life not written in stone.” The runes pulsed and the cavern began to quake. From the shadows of the mural, smoke slithered. A form stepped forward—the Echo. Not the girl. Not the child. But the original voice of the underworld. Elara’s past. Her shadow. “You break me. Again. Again. Again.”

Petra watched from the corner, a faint smile crossing her face, one she hadn’t worn in years. But as she looked out the window, something caught her eye. In the distance, beneath the snow A second facility door. Untouched. Hidden. Waiting. Her smile faded. Final Scene, Unknown Location A black screen flickered on. A mechanical voice hummed. “Echo Protocol terminated. Contingency: SAPPHIRE engaged.” In a dark chamber, somewhere across the world... A new pair of eyes opened. Female. Glowing. Watching.
