Eclipse Apprentice Novels & Stories

“We’ve set up a lab at a secure location, and we need you here immediately. You’ll be safe, Julian. I promise.” The weight of his words hung in the air. He was offering me something I wasn’t sure I could accept: a role in the military’s effort to save the world. I didn’t belong there. I wasn’t a soldier. I wasn’t even sure I could be useful. But there was something in Ethan’s voice that made me believe that my presence mattered—that maybe, just maybe, my immune system held the secret to a cure. “I’ll be there,” I said, even though I had no idea what to expect.

The nursery had evolved from a sanctuary into a training ground disguised as playtime. Two years had passed since the destruction of the original Project Reaper facility, but the shadow of The Eclipse never fully lifted. Aurora, now two and a half, moved with the confident grace of a child who already understood power. She stacked blocks into perfect fortresses only to knock them down with a delighted laugh that sounded far too much like a battle cry. Seraphina, eighteen months old, followed her sister everywhere on chubby legs, her grey eyes sharp and watchful. Elias, seven now, had become their fierce protector, practicing knife forms with Rico in the mornings and reading them stories at n

she announced and my heart skipped at once at her words. "Luna?" "Yes" "But…but, I don't understand this, what do you mean by Luna, what is a Luna?" I asked not to hide my lack of knowledge. Anabelle smiled, "You will understand better. I will get you some books to read, every Information in the book will get you prepared for the journey ahead of you. I can sense a fiery fire burning in you, my father and Nelson might be blinded to see it, but time will tell the best story" she noted, pat my left shoulder and begin to walk towards the door.

He just put a hand on Caleb’s shoulder. "The contract has changed, Caleb," Zade said, his voice like a grinding stone. "I was going to let you live in your little kingdom. But you tried to kill my Luna." "Zade, wait" Caleb started to beg. "The Eclipse has risen," Zade interrupted. "And your sun is setting." Zade didn't kill him. Not yet. He looked at me, a silent question in his eyes. He was giving me the choice. I looked at Caleb, the boy who had promised to love me and the man who had tried to murder me. I didn't feel love. I didn't even feel hate anymore. I just felt finished.

I used to think I wouldn’t be leaving her side, but I think the Goddess had different plans. I turned to look at the man in the carriage behind us. He wore a fedora that cast a shadow on his face, black trousers that looked a bit too big, and white button-up sleeves that had a tiny pocket with a small watch attached to it. He pulled a scroll behind him and unwrapped it in front of us. “I’m ordered to assist Harvey Sebastian and Eleanor Trevino for a safe trip to Azen,” the chaperone read through the scroll. But he scanned all of us in confusion.

The royal astronomers had predicted a rare, total solar eclipse—a celestial event that the fearful ancients had viewed as an omen of total destruction, but which Elena had meticulously, and brilliantly, reframed as a symbol of cosmic transition and rebirth. "They're calling it the 'Eclipse Coronation' in the city," Kaelen noted, stepping close and resting his hand gently on her shoulder, his palm feeling the vibrant life stirring beneath her dress. "It’s a powerful, resonant image. The shadow passing, and the new era rising in the brilliant light that follows. It is exactly what this empire needs."

Linus’s brow wrinkled in confusion, but he took a few steps back towards the door he had come from. “This is Eician, the Aldean Circle of Healers sent him to be my apprentice. Dyllen found him on the road travelling in but he’s had a bad experience with alphas so he’s a bit scared still.” “Apprentice?” Linus asked as he shuffled back even further to lean casually against the door frame. It appeared he had accepted Skye’s brief explanation without question and was trying to put Eician at ease by moving even further away. He was thankful, if surprised, by the consideration.

Oh goddess, why am I spiraling in public when people are watching? Levi stepped closer to me, deliberately. "This is my mate and my wife, Nyx. That girl's just someone I grew up around." "Mandy Morrigan!" she announced brightly, like I was supposed to care. "I'm the new oracle's apprentice at the temple. I'm so excited to be working close with you Levi. The temple duties are lots of hard work and the support team is always welcome. It's really not work just anyone can handle." Ah. There it is.

She had planned to ride alone, but Adrian insisted that a young apprentice, Selene, accompany her. Selene had only joined the Pathfinders Guild a little over a year ago and was three months younger than Elise. A lonely orphan who had once lived on the streets, she was now Kyle's only apprentice. Back when she was a petty thief, she had even stolen from Kyle himself. When he caught her, he didn't scold her immediately, and instead asked about her life.

She had to work harder than any other apprentice in order to gain her leader's approval. Longkit, Bramblekit, Marshkit and Newtkit had finally become apprentices. Because there was a shortage of warriors, Russetstar had made Snowstorm a mentor at a very young age. She was mentoring Marshpaw, a young apprentice with what felt like boundless energy. Talonclaw mentored his own son, Bramblepaw. Sleetstorm and Nightclaw got Longpaw and Newtpaw as apprentices.
