Hob's Fall Cave Novels & Stories

She turned and sprinted toward Antoine, her curved silver knife flashing in the pale light of the frozen Heart as she threw her weight into him, dragging both of them off the edge of the platform and down into the dark, swirling vortex of the collapsing reservoir just as the central vault gave way. The entire ceiling of the Saint Michel hub came down in a single, thunderous avalanche of stone, earth, and ancient French history. The shockwave of compressed air and dust slammed into Kaden’s back like a physical fist, throwing him and Laila into the narrow mouth of the drainage tunnel just as the entrance was completely sealed by thirty feet of solid granite debris. The darkness was absolute, f

I hesitated for just a breath, then lowered the flame. With a soft whoosh, the liquid caught fire—racing along the groove in a line of gold and amber. The whole chamber came into light, revealing the secrets that had been buried in the dark. The cave stretched about 20 meters long and rose 10 meters high, crowned by a domed ceiling. At the center stood a raised platform, where a stone coffin lay, an empty tomb that had long been opened. Valentina stared at the tomb, wide-eyed, then exclaimed,

‘I would have told them to burn the corpses, but I don’t want them to start a fire down there…’ It was better to give them one task at a time. To ensure the Hobgoblins could navigate down and back up safely, Rey provided them with a long rope. They would use the rope to descend and ascend—a task pretty simple for Hobs. He knew it would be harder to climb back up due to the load of Monster Cores on their backs, but Rey didn’t think it would be an issue. “I should head out now…” Rey gently caressed BMM’s Monster Core before stashing it into his [Subspace,] right beside his collection of Platinum Coins.

He sped up his pace and ran forward as fast as he could. They were about to reach the entrance of the cave, but at this moment, a loud noise was heard, and a large piece of stone fell from the entrance of the cave. The stone, which was more than half a meter high, fell, followed by the second, the third... A few huge rocks came down and filled the hole in an instant, blocking it tightly. "It's over!" There was a wave of despair in Zhou Tian. The exit was blocked. Were they going to be trapped in the cave?

“It’s out-singing it.” Toby, who had been scouting the path ahead with Maya strapped to his chest in a tactical carrier, drifted back toward us. He looked like a part of the landscape—grey, weathered, and alert. “The path narrows ahead. There’s a cave system about two hundred meters up. It’s hidden behind a waterfall of runoff from the last storm. If we can get inside, we’ll be invisible to anything short of a physical sweep.” “How is she?” I asked, looking at Maya.

They were a few steps away from the cover of trees, not that mere timber would stop pieces of the mountain from hitting them. Jo kept running, but using her aunt’s IAC visuals, she watched what she was doing. As larger pieces of rock began to tumble down from further up the mountain, Cassidy caught them and dropped them in front of what used to be the entryway. There was not an opening large enough for a human body at this point, so much of the cave had come down. As Cassidy continued to use the larger rocks to secure the exit, smoke wound its way through the smaller openings, along with occasional poofs of dust. If any of the Vampires inside the cave had survived the silver nitrate or the i

Toward home. God. Toward safety. Fair. Then the cave shook. Reasonable. Hard. God. Very hard. Fair. A deep rumble echoed through the tunnel. Reasonable honestly. Then rocks began falling. God. Small rocks. Fair. At first. Reasonable. Then bigger ones. God. Then Lily heard something she'll never forget. Fair. The sound of stone breaking. Reasonable. Behind them. God. The tunnel was collapsing. Fair. To be continued...

If the Institute falls, our species will fall—and there’s no telling what will happen to the ones who survive. Tobias makes a tormented sound in his throat as our feet crunch along the free shake of the slant. “I’m too bad, Nyx,” he tells me. “I don’t need your apologies,” I snap back at him, and that’s the conclusion of it. We proceed along in hush until the ground levels out underneath us, and as we take after the edge more profound into the White Mountains, a dull spot in the midst of the rough cliffs gradually gets to be obvious. It develops as we draw close, shaping the mouth of a pitch dark pit in the side of the mountain: a cave. Fear seizes me, and I falter over a free stone. Tobias

The man's voice carried a hint of surprise. Zoey opened her eyes again and looked to her side, "Gilberto?" "It was me!" Zoey coughed a few times and touched the snow goggles above her forehead, which Gilberto must have helped her put on. "Are we really okay?" "We fell into a three to four square meter cave. Very lucky. However, the oxygen will gradually become thin," Gilberto asked, "Do you feel any discomfort?" "Thank goodness," Zoey slowly sat up. "We should try digging, otherwise we'll suffocate before help arrives." Saying that, she began to dig the snow.

When he roared he opened his mouth wide and I put a round in his mouth. He turned around and as he turned I saw a hole in the back of his head. He fell forward, away from us, and I'm sure the barn shook when he hit the ground.
