Fintan Keeper Of The Lost Cities Novels & Stories

There was peace in the deep, and a stillness I hadn’t realized I’d needed. We kept going. Eventually, the seafloor changed. The terrain smoothed into wide-open sand beds, broken occasionally by crumbled stone pillars, scattered statues, and the skeletons of long-forgotten buildings, now worn by time and tide. Vines of coral and sea moss wrapped around the broken walls like gentle hands, reclaiming what once was. I slowed, pulling gently on Kairos’s hand. “What is this place?” Kairos looked at the ruins with a softness in his eyes. “This is the Lost City,” he said. “It was once the heart of our people. My great-grandfather lived here, long before the migration.”

“At least someone who looks like he belongs beside her.” One of his companions laughed. “Maybe he got lost on the way in.” Another added, “Looks like a hired servant.” The crowd laughed again. Sophia’s face tightened, conflicted. She didn’t speak. Ethan noticed everything. But still remained silent. Adrian stopped in front of him. “So tell me,” he said loudly, “what do you do exactly, Mr…?” “Cross,” Ethan replied calmly. A pause. Then Adrian smiled. “Cross? I don’t think I’ve heard of that brand.”

“Don’t worry. You won’t be late on your shift.” They waited until a shadow glided beside them. A thin line appeared at the lower region of its featureless face, issuing a semi-transparent parchment, which floated in front of them, telling George he needed to prepare the Nomism Lender’s crest and that only the account-holder would be allowed inside. The Bank was named after Nomiseo who was once a great Protector. After he retired, he founded this place to store data and energy of shadows so that Wielders would be able to preserve their strength. As he believed it, the more the energy is, the wealthier and stringer the Wielder becomes.

Feinheim is the keeper of the five most powerful gems in the Universe. That is why it has the authority to run the affairs of the other four worlds. On the day of solar eclipse, the leaders of the five worlds will gather along with the current gem Possessors and the gems will choose their keepers; someone who is worthy of the power of the gem. Decades ago, the red gem chose Nicole from World Feinheim, the yellow gem chose Nikki from World Jotunine and the White gem chose Nora from World Alasda.

"But from I gather, the reward is worth it." "Indeed." Babi beamed, showing the rows of pointed teeth. "So, if you retrieve the amulet of the ladder, the Djed pillar and the buckle of Isis. Or at least find the location of the last, for I can retrieve it if I know that. Then I will the powers I need to defeat the blight on this world and bring glory to those who warrant it." Aiden shuddered from his place in the corner whilst the others gave a small round of applause, muttering their ideas of the rewards and how amazing this all was, their eyes filled with greed and glowing at the very thought of riches, women and untold wonders.

He kept his gaze fixed out the window, watching the city blur past, but his body remembered everything: the way Nikolai had looked at him as children, the protective shadow he’d cast, the way that protection had twisted into something deeper, more complicated, over the years. Classes passed in a disorienting blur. Lectures on literature and history faded into background noise while Arlo’s thoughts kept drifting back to the penthouse. Kevin texted twice—apologies mixed with casual invitations to hang out and “talk things through.” Arlo read the messages but didn’t reply. Not yet. He wasn’t ready to explain any of this, least of all to Kevin.

She took my breath away. I only managed to break free from the spell when the stunning woman spoke. “Is he the new guy, Emmy?” Her sweet voice was like music to my ears. Though she was talking to Emmy, her eyes fixated on me. Her gaze was inquisitive, albeit more subtle than Emmy’s. It seemed Emmy and the pretty lady were acquainted. “Yes, he is. His name is Brook D’Amico. He’s highly educated and intellectually gifted.” Emmy paused and blinked before drawling.

a voice speaks in our head. “Yes yes. The forbidden book” Nella exclaims “It must definitely have a way. I’ll go find the book” she turns to leave “I’m coming along” Thaddeus speaks and catches up with Nella. It was only Jessica, Eagle, Arig, Cassius and I left with Daisy. “Who are you really?” I ask looking at Arig “Definitely not an alien” he continues to pull my leg “What are you doing here?” Jessica joins my interrogation

Dave said to them. "You guys should keep up, I will try and get Susannah back". Dave said and ran towards Susannah with the staff in his hand. The ground suddenly opened and the keeper of the underworld came out from it. "Hello humans, it's the end of your world". The keeper said, swinging his huge sword. He was more giant than Goliath in the bible. "Go to the city keeper, destroy the whole city". Emily said to the keeper and the keeper went to the city.

“Queen of the Ashes. Heir of the Forgotten Goddess.” Elara closed her eyes. For the first time, she did not deny. She did not flee. She accepted. The flames wrapped around her, and the ruins trembled with awakening power. ---
