Foundation Novels & Stories

"Fuck off!" While Amanda is on the Libra side, Alex is a Cancer ♋. He is quite emotional and always looking for true love, Alex is very caring and can also be quiet naive. He loves cuddles, but also love his own personal space, though Alex lacked a little bit of confidence, this was why it took him years to get close to Martins and Stacey. He never really approached Ross to ask for a promotion, but it all ended well, because he was still given the promotion.

“But, I haven’t even reached that level yet, and I’m still in Foundation Building. I knew it. I’m just worthless trash.” “Don’t worry. You’re in a special situation.” Alex comforted her. “Your foundation was injured. I’ve gathered five kinds of medicine, and I’m just missing the fire lotus seeds right now. Once I’ve gotten everything, I’ll be able to help you to restore it completely. It’s not a bad thing for you to accumulate all of it right now, since the deeper the foundation you build, the more stable your future growth will be.” “Are you sure?”

I replied as I exited her office. I finally decided to take the next step and apply for a business loan for my construction company. Truthfully, I should have handled this a while ago. I had a business plan and everything that was needed. Deep down, I think I was nervous about being rejected. It seemed that after my marriage from Skylar failed, my confidence level had diminished a little. Since being with Devyn, though, my confidence had returned. So now instead of just working on establishing my company, I was one step closer to actually having it.

"You never were." "The Auditor believes I am." "The Auditor is wrong." "The Auditor has never been wrong." "Then this will be the first time." Jack looked at the compass. Its needle rested in its true-north position, pointing at the figure with steady warmth. "The Fourth Defect is not a bug. It is the foundation. You are the cost that the universe was built on. Removing you, suppressing you, correcting you, would be like trying to fix a building by deleting its foundation." "The Auditor's framework does not have a category for foundations."

They saw Aria’s face. And immediately knew something had shifted. “You went down there,” Maelis said. Not a question. Aria nodded. “And?” Silence spread. Not the kind born from hesitation. The kind born from choosing what truth the world was ready to carry. Damien spoke first. “The foundation is unstable,” he said bluntly. Not a lie. Just not the whole truth. A ripple of alarm spread through the elders. “Unstable how?” one demanded. “Shifting,” Damien replied. “Not collapsing. But not dormant either.”

Meaning building on meaning. Kael looked at Lyra. “What happens if it gets it wrong?” She answered immediately. “Then everything that comes after is wrong too.” Silence. The First Deviation man spoke carefully. “This is how all systems begin.” The woman added, “From incomplete understanding.” Kael frowned. “So we’re the foundation.” Lyra shook her head slightly. “No.” She held his gaze. “We’re the sample.” That hit differently.

I said, but my voice sounded like it was coming from the bottom of a well. I tried to stand up, to move away from the graves, but the ground didn’t feel solid anymore. The marble headstones began to tilt. The rows of graves started to spin like a carousel of gray teeth. I reached out, my fingers clawing at the air, trying to find a handrail, a blueprint, anything to steady the world. “The foundation…” I muttered, my mind slipping back into the language of the Architect. “The foundation is shifting, Zander. The soil… it’s too soft. It won’t hold the weight.”

Ruby glared at me. "I don't need you to tell me who I can be friends with." she snapped. I was about to yell back but Foxy cut me off. "He's right, Ruby. Those guys are no good. They deal drugs and hurt people. They treat girls awfully too. I don't want you to get hurt by them. They may seem nice at first but they will harm you as soon as you let your guard down." Foxy explained, calmly. Ruby looked at her in disbelief but Hound, Don, Jackal and Scarlett all nodded in agreement.
