Grettir's Pool Novels & Stories

We both hasten our steps, following the magic through the trees and eventually stepping into a gorgeous clearing. The whole space is lit by the faint blue light of the moon. We can see it now, though we couldn’t before, hovering just above the line of the trees. Soft green grass grows around the edges of the clearing’s ground, which slopes ever-downward towards a wonderful fresh pool that rests precisely at the center. Behind the pool, providing it with a persistent source of fresh water, is a beautiful cataract. A wide, pulsing rush of water over a cliff high above, crashing into the still water of the pool and filling the air at the far end of the clearing with a fine mist.

he inquires, his tone firm yet tinged with a hint of reverence for the mystical surroundings. Luna's gaze drifts to the pool of darkness at the center of the clearing, its surface rippling with mysterious energy. “The Moonlit Pool is a gateway to realms beyond mortal ken, a place where the veils between worlds are thinnest,” Luna explains, her voice carrying the weight of ages. “I have brought you here to impart a warning, for the threads of fate have woven a treacherous path ahead of you.” She gestures towards the pool, where images begin to shimmer and coalesce upon its inky surface. Scenes unfold before us like fragments of a forgotten tapestry, showing Alena at the mercy of dark forces t

Together, we ventured deeper into the glen, our steps guided by both determination and caution. In the heart of the glen, we discovered a pristine pool of water, its surface reflecting the moonlight like a mirror. At its center stood a small island, upon which rested the fifth Seed of Renewal. "It's like a beacon of hope," Celina whispered, her voice tinged with awe. Alder approached the pool, his hand brushing against the water's surface. "This place feels...special."

I looked at my other hand and found a similar design of concentric circles, lighter than the one on my right. Poe knelt and motioned towards the pool. "Let's try something." I hesitated, especially after what Poe had said about the waters being from the Realm of the Dead. Like I really wanted to complicate my life further? But Poe took my hand again, pulling gently until my body complied. I knelt next to him and he dipped my hand in the water of the pool.

You know the answer, Liera, I could imagine him saying. “We’ll go to Arden Retis,” I decided. “They will support us.” Ashara re-entered the tent, holding the flap open, and two men entered lugging a large cauldron between them. They poured the water into the bath. It did not steam. Cold water, I realised, because Aurien could, of course, heat it himself. It was what he did with the pool in his cave, after all. I did not know whether to be surprised and upset that Ashara knew that about my dragon, or not.

Greta comes over to her room and puts her hand on Liv without a worried expression on her face, and then touches the bracelet she had made Liv. “I feel a magical presence, but my protection spells work. And I will come with you to make them stronger.” Greta says, and we nod our heads. We leave the house, walking to the North border, where we meet all the warriors not on duty on the other borders. A warrior comes up to us when we get there and he bows his head. “My king, they are right near the lake.” He points in the direction he wants me to look.

Ethan replied, his attention still focused on what he was retrieving from the fridge. 'POOL!!' The word reverberated in Lily's mind, striking like lightning. It was the one place she hadn't searched yet. Her necklace might have fallen into the pool during the chaotic night, and that could be where it was now. Quietly setting down her glass of water on the top of the bar. Lily got up and left through the French door that led to the backyard. A scene of serene beauty unfolded before her: a sprawling modern retreat with a massive swimming pool as its centerpiece. The water sparkled invitingly, surrounded by lush greenery, lounge chairs, and soothing ambient lighting.

Then, emerging through the dim glow of moonlight, a vast pool appeared before her. Aurora's eyes widened. There’s a pool here? She had roamed the castle grounds many times, yet she had never come across this hidden oasis. Draven stopped, turning to face her with a smirk. “You brought me to a pool?” Aurora asked, surprise lacing her tone. Draven arched a brow. “Are you hesitant? Don’t tell me you don’t like pools.” “Oh no, not at all,” she quickly replied. “I love pools. I’m just surprised. Your birthday is going on, and you—”

muttered Gerald with a wry smile as he shook his head. Following that, he gathered some strength in his palm before blasting the concentrated energy at the cornerstone! Upon hitting its mark, the blue crystal sphere rolled to the side and the stone platform ended up shattering to pieces in an explosive sound, causing the liquid in the pool to immediately flow out! “Let’s see how arrogant you can continue being after taking this away from you!” sneered Gerald before picking the blue crystal sphere up and leaving the place for good. Meanwhile, Yreth—who had been busy commanding the rest of the Gunters in her search for Gerald—suddenly felt her heart palpitate, prompting her to shudder and shou

"Follow me through here." Turning, I squeeze myself through the gap, emerging into the other side to reveal an astounding sight. "What is that?" Eyla gasps. I grin. "Exactly what I was looking for." Forged into the ground rock, is a small pool full of a rich, magical green liquid. Many shallow pools surround it, all full of this pristine substance. It emerges from a spot on the wall, dripping down slowly to the main pool, which drains into a crack in the floor. "Is this the eternal life thing? If so, I may have a long life span, but I'm going to need to keep up with my pureblood boyfriend." Eyla steps forward, the reflection staining her skin.
