Hidden Star Village Novels & Stories

What exactly had his mother been hiding all this time? “Look at this.” Lucas suddenly pointed to the very bottom. There was another symbol, much smaller in size, but clearly intentional. It was shaped like a star floating above waves. And right below that symbol was a short sentence. “Find the place where water and stars meet.” Lilith furrowed her brow deeply. “Is that… a new clue?” “It sure looks like it,” Lucas muttered, offering a simple answer. Selene immediately began thinking hard. “Water and stars? That could mean a lot of things…”

Ariana looked forward. A massive golden world appeared in the distance. It had no sun and no moon. Yet the entire planet glowed. "That's the Star Realm." --- They landed on a wide stone platform. Ariana immediately noticed something strange. There were no birds. No trees. No ordinary sounds of life. Only silence. Golden buildings stretched across the horizon. Some were floating. Others were carved into enormous mountains. But many were broken. The Star Realm was beautiful. And dying. Ariana understood why the Star King had wanted the Heart.

“I’m ready, Mom. We go together.” So we went. The first village we hit was Ash Hollow. Or what was left of it. 20 houses. 200 people. All of them dead in their beds. No blood. No wounds. Just pale and still and cold, like they’d been drained in seconds. Elias gagged and turned away. I held Aria tighter as she screamed - the first real scream she’d made since birth. The Moonblood in her was howling. “They’re here,” Kade’s voice crackled through the comm stone. “The Void. All of them. Surrounding the village.”

Stavros’s POV The car sped along the highway that took me through the boreal forest, high Alpine, and rolling tundra until we reached a desolate village. I knew the place since I had come here before. It was the Wild Wain Village, the territory of the Wind Wolves. The place was cold, desolate, and uninhabitable, submerged in darkness because the clouds hanging low completely blocked the pale rays of the Midnight sun.

We walked hurriedly looking at each point, passing through some streets to reach the main bridge that can take us to the village that is closest to the Petrified Forest. Darkness takes over the streets, few torches light the way. I see many torches ahead, and many houses, I think it must be the village. — Is it over there? — Balck asks, and Andrew just shakes his head. — What is the name of this village? — Bartari. You've never been here? — Only once when I came after you recently... — What were you doing in the territory, Balck? Weren't you on security with Noah?

But the next second, the steward stepped out from the shadows and blocked the door completely. Adrian threw his head back and laughed. "How naive you are. Did you think it was a coincidence that you walked through the princess's residence so smoothly and found me here? I've moved through this place like a fish in water. Did it never occur to you that I had help in the shadows? "Today, Gideon Frost and that annoying little thing are dead. Now you've thrown yourselves into my net. How perfect." Adrian bared his teeth and thrust forward. There was no trace of his usual weakness.

The way her gaze stayed lowered as if even looking directly at a man was an offense she could not afford. This was what they wanted from her. What his family wanted. A silent, obedient wife who wouldn’t question why she had to eat scraps from the kitchen floor or bear children like it was her sole function. And now they’d chained her to him. The car turned off the main road, gravel crunching beneath the tires as it entered pack territory. The forest thickened, the trees older, twisted, and familiar. The scent of the land shifted—damp earth, pine sap, the distant tinge of blood and dominance. The Valtoris estate was still a mile out, but already, Xavier could feel the weight of it bearing dow

The barrier. My laughter faded. “Levi…” I shifted in my seat, my smile faltering. “We’re getting close to the edge.” He didn’t say anything right away. Just tightened his grip on the steering wheel. “Levi,” I said again, this time more firmly. “That’s the barrier. Why are we heading that way?” He sighed. “Because the starlace is that way. It grows just beyond the border, near Hollow Veil.” Hollow Veil? Where had I heard that before?

Dangerously dared me to find her. I didn’t realise I’d drifted off to sleep until… “Alpha!” A loud howl sent vibrations around the tent. I drew out my claws, bolting out of the tent, ready to shift, and another cry echoed through the camp. Then I noticed two shadows lurking around the treeline: Neon and Amra, our shadow hunters. “What’s wrong?” I asked. They shifted mid-landing, replacing their once bloody paws with more human limbs. “The village. It’s off-grid. Couldn’t find it on the maps. Deep in the Frostspine Forest.” Neon managed.

Still doubtful of what she touched, Karilaya took one of the firestones on her feet, blowing her energy on it, the glow of the stone grew stronger. Karilaya’s eyes almost popped out of her eyes as she hovered the light on top of the plank that read ‘western village of Luhan.’ She gasped as she held on to her breath. She could not help her hands from shaking as she covered her mouth upon realizing where they were all this time.
