Eterna Forest Novels & Stories

Is he adopted? "This is Chester, my last born," Aunt Brenda introduced before turning to another girl, who I was sure was about our age. "This is Gaile, Chester's twin," she added before pointing to a young girl who was by Tito Charlie's side. "And this is Chessa, our eldest." I can see Lienzo turning to look at the young woman like his age. Even Chessa's smile on my brother didn't escape my eyes; that's why I didn't do anything but squint in my seat.

Andres' voice in the video sounded indifferent and dismissive. Camellia's mind flashed back to the day Andres received the beads. "Cam, I'll always keep these with me, even in death," he had promised. The color drained from Camellia's face. She wanted to cry and let out all the pain, but no tears came. The light in her eyes had faded completely. Late at night, as the world slept, no one noticed when Eterna Haven went up in roaring flames. Andres was up early the next morning, preparing for the day.

"Has she done anything. Since she was born. Anything that seemed wrong." Petra hesitated. "What," Aria said. "When I first held her. There was—" She stopped. Started again. "The trees moved. Around us. Not wind. They just moved. Leaned in." The forest. Which had been growing without human interference for two centuries. Which had developed its own particular ecosystem, its own balance, its own Aria looked at the trees around them. At the way they were positioned. At the specific density of canopy directly above them. Cover. They'd walked into perfect cover without choosing it. Without navigating toward it. The path had just been there.

His expression was bright with excitement, but the look in his eyes shows that he was clearly going through a mess of different feelings. It had been a while since he was back. And as they approached the mountain pass, the defensive wards started glowing, and Willow pulled out a token—it was ash-gray and inscribed with the word Eternia. Eternal longevity was the ultimate dream of all cultivators, after all—who wouldn't want to live forever? However, Caleb and the others didn't get it—why the Eternia Seminary? That was when the token glowed dazzlingly. And the defensive ward parted just like double doors, revealing an entrance.

Elena’s eyes fluttered open to the sharp scent of pine and damp earth. The world around her was no longer the gray, mist-filled Harbor. Tall trees rose overhead, their branches forming a thick canopy that filtered weak sunlight onto the forest floor. Leaves rustled softly in a gentle breeze. Birds called distantly. It was real. Alive. The living world.

Malen inclined her head in a greeting, her hand already starting to move in a quiet welcome. “You’re late,” Solenne said, her voice echoing faintly. It wasn’t a reproach; it was simply an observation. “We came as soon as the bell rang,” Kieran replied. Solenne’s fingers moved over a sigil interface. A map appeared in hovering light above the table. Rough plains, broken cliffs and a winding valley carved into the earth like an old scar. “Location: Eloir Valley, which is remote, sparsely populated, and with no outposts nearby. Three days ago, a villa was annihilated. An entire family has been massacred.”

When I pushed it open, the air was thick with the scent of damp earth and aging oak. Ethan was already there. He was sitting on a wooden crate, a single dim bulb casting long, jagged shadows across the racks of dusty bottles. He looked different in the darkless like a Grant heir and more like the boy who had lost his parents at sixteen. He had a bottle open, but he wasn't drinking much; he was just staring at the label. "You actually came," he said, his voice a low vibration in the small space. "I shouldn't have," I whispered, sitting on the crate opposite him, keeping a careful distance. "If Harrison finds me down here, I’m done. He already looks at me like he knows exactly what I'm thinkin

[That man's POV] During the daytime, Nagosia forest looks like an endless maze of thick trunks and tall, slender trees that are just as hard to navigate through as the rest of it. The grass has been cut into long thin strips by thousands of years of frost and snowfall, and the trees have become so tall that they can almost reach through the clouds. There are no flowers in bloom yet, but the ground is filled with them. The sunlight cannot enter through leaves or branches here. This is the perfect place for a man with his mind and heart set on finding a lover to spend eternity with, but Eta Wolf Suzette was sitting alone there.

The smell of the forest after the rain hit my nose, soothing my previously tense nerves. It had been too long since I last walked around and enjoyed the atmosphere of the Black Eye Forest. Black Eye was an enormous tropical forest and a rich, mysterious ecosystem. The danger and death of the forest made surviving in it a tough challenge. Therefore, it was a solid natural defense layer of our pack, the Blue Camellia pack.

The enchanted Nampa remained a place of tranquility and harmony, but they knew that challenges would continue to arise. As Luna's training with Selene continued, she found herself delving even deeper into the mysteries of the forest's magic. Selene revealed ancient rituals and ceremonies that had been passed down through generations, each designed to strengthen the bond between the guardian and the enchanted Nampa. One such ritual involved a journey to the heart of the Nampa, a place known as the "Grove of Serenity." Luna, guided by Selene, embarked on this sacred journey, accompanied by Alpha Burst, Sierra, and Orson. The grove was a place of unparalleled beauty, where the energies of the f
