“You don’t have to tell him anything. He can see us.” My head swiped up instantly and I searched around for cameras but found none. “How is he able to see us?” I whispered to Sly, almost shoving my body into his. “Are there hidden cameras?” I got ignored again. We stopped right outside a door then Sly typed in a code. The door opened and he stepped aside and gestured for me to enter. “Have a lovely evening Ms. Shirley.”

I threw on my leather jacket and a pair of boots. "Who's first?" Natalia stepped forward. "Alright." I took her hand. She nodded and we disappeared. The cold nothingness surrounded me. We popped back into existence. Hell was hot and humid. I could feel the damp air pressing against my skin. We stood before a black spire of dark obsidian. Veins of glowing gold fire laced the surface of the polished black stone. Natalia dropped my hand and led the way. The sharp spike drew tall into the dusky sky. As we drew deeper into the city, the spires grew taller.

I am so disappointed_______. ‘Mom please, before you say all those awful things to me hear me out, please,’ Connie sobbed Raising her arms in resignation Lora frowned at her as she said drily, ‘Ok, I am all ears.’ Connie blew her nose first, speaking softly she said, ‘I just don’t know where to begin to explain things to you.

Then Rowan whispered: "No." The warrior nodded sadly. "Yes." The heartbeat thundered again. BOOOOOOOOM. The abyss widened. Stone collapsed inward. And for the first time— everyone saw movement. Real movement. Not shadows. Not illusions. Something enormous was climbing upward. Far below. Massive. Slow. Patient. The darkness seemed to peel away around it. And then they appeared. Eyes. Two enormous golden eyes. Larger than buildings. Larger than towers. Watching from the depths of the First Kingdom.

The angle made us look far more intimate than we actually were. Another picture followed, then another. Different angles, different moments. Every single one looked terrible.My heartbeat turned uneven as I scrolled down. BLACKTHORN CONFESSIONS: Guess the scholarship students have creative ways of surviving. CAMPUS TEA: Knew she was suspicious. ANONYMOUS USER: So this is how she got Professor Vale’s attention? ANOTHER USER: Adrian Laurent finally dating someone? Didn’t expect it to be her. I stopped reading immediately. My hands were shaking.

“We seek the Hydro-Node to break the Sequence! The Black Mountain is waking, and the sky is falling! We offer the Gold to those who have lived in the Dark for too long!” ​The lead Deep-Wolf—a massive creature with a tail like a leviathan and scars that glowed like neon across its flank—approached the glass.

People feared the unknown, hence 'The Deep' was one of the most feared forbidden areas in all of Zandor. Unlike the Forest of Gloom, The Deep wasn't located on flat land, but was actually a valley. If one stood on a higher ground, they could easily identify this death trap. This valley was completely desolate, and no matter how brightly the sun shone, its luminous rays could never penetrate the darkness that coated the valley. Like a blanket, this darkness prevented any light from getting through. Even rain was no exception to this exile. Seeing a figure seated in this dark land would have terrified anyone, for how could someone survive in this place?

Stone blocks crashed into the darkness below. The floating lantern shattered in midair. Its flame went out instantly. The old man's expression changed. The warmth vanished from his eyes. He looked toward the abyss beneath the staircase. His voice dropped to a whisper. "We're too late." A colossal shadow began rising from the darkness below. No face. No shape. Only two enormous silver eyes opening deep beneath the chamber. Every torch extinguished at once. The last thing Adrian heard before complete darkness swallowed the room... Was his grandfather's voice.

Not like wind or water but the kind of internal cold that is like grief wrapped in silence. I don’t speak as I walk. The world around me is gray, fogged at the edges like the in-between of a dream. Behind me, the cliffs fade into smoke. Ahead of me, nothing but endless, shimmering water lays like a still lake that stretches farther than the eye can comprehend. This is the entrance to the Glass Depths.
