Escanor Cruel Sun Novels & Stories

The ground was scorching, and I tried to get up, but my back was broken, and I could not move. I could only watch as the sun cooked me. That kind of terror, most people could not handle it. Then, to make things worse, I saw Gavin and Jennifer eat me like I was a dried-up roast lamb. Snapping out of it, I realized my back was drenched. I put down my chips and gulped down a bottle of Earl Grey tea to calm down.

Asher called but I can't find it in me to look away from Logan's nipple. "You know I was joking right?" Logan said but I just can't look at anything else. "Excuse me." He said and left and even though he is no longer standing in front of me, I still can't look at anything else... I can vividly see the scar staring back at me. "Nicole, are you okay." Asher called and tapped me at the same time and that's when I finally snapped out of it, it was like the scar held me in a trance.

Natalie's POV Sunlight streamed through the curtains, pale and feeble. It held no warmth to give. Not to me, not to this house fast turning into a tomb of my failure. I was sitting on the window seat, knees tucked up, staring down at the garden below. Roses were dead, or at least had ceased trying to grow here. I could tell. It'd been days since I'd battered my back against the world. Campus gossip still hung in my head, the laughter, the sympathy, the disgust. All the things they'd thrown as knives.

“Why did you make me ugly? Why give me a mate who despises me?” I lifted my eyes to the moon, tears streaking my face. “Moon Goddess! Why did you curse me to live this way? Why give me a heart only to shatter it?” The forest answered only with silence. Pain flared, hot and suffocating, until my body could bear no more. My bones twisted, fur sprouted, claws ripped free, and my cries became the mournful howl of a wolf. Iris stood on four trembling legs, her coat a plain brown, not shimmering like Juliana’s black wolf, not powerful like Dominic’s deep obsidian. She howled into the night, so sorrowful the trees themselves seemed to shudder.

she began, flustered. Suddenly the sun shifted, its huge red ball aligning directly in the path of the stained-glass window, in the center of the far wall. It lit her up, sending a single beam of sunlight right to Scarlet. Light flooded her. Scarlet suddenly felt a horrific pain, right in her forehead. It was so bad, she had to clutch her head. Her eyes burned, too, as if they were on fire. She keeled over. It felt like it was tearing her up inside, and she couldn’t stand it for another second.

“I am. Our only real problem tomorrow morning will be Alas Mayit, the Corpse Forest. The road to the Sun School takes us straight through it.” “Isn’t Alas Mayit where that dangerous devil-worshiping cult is based? Wisnumurti and Senopati Bantala were talking about them the other day.” “Yes. Outsiders aren’t allowed in there. Anyone caught will be sacrificed to the demons.” Nyai Soma’s face went pale. “Th-then... which way are we supposed to go?” “We go straight through.” Rinjani smiled reassuringly. “Don’t worry, Auntie. I’ve been trained to infiltrate enemy territory without being detected. I’ll get both of you through safely.”

She stood on the balcony of the highest tower, her boots crunching on the frost that was rapidly spreading across the stone. Above, the sun was being eaten. A black disc bit into the fiery edge of the star, turning the world a bruised, sickly violet. The shadows on the ground weren't fuzzy anymore; they were sharp, jagged lines that seemed to vibrate.

Scarlet felt a tongue licking her face and opened her eyes to blinding sunlight. The tongue would not stop, and before she even looked over, she knew it was Ruth. She opened her eyes just enough to see that it was her: Ruth was leaning over, whining, and grew even more excited as Scarlet opened her eyes.

And she shattered Not with a scream With peace --- I fell forward, sobbing once Only once Because that was all she ever asked of me One breath of grief One moment to be seen And when I stood again My back no longer burned Because the mark was whole No longer split between burden and power Only balance The world resumed Lucian rushed to me, arms pulling me into him Soren wiped his eyes with the back of his wrist Ewen knelt quietly beside the ruined altar, whispering something to the earth We didn’t speak There was nothing left to say I had faced myself And come back --- But peace never lasts That night, under a sky finally calm, a raven landed on the altar Not black Not feathered But smoke It
