Hubo Sa Dilim Mga Nobela at Kwento

“Mind if I crash at your place for the day, before I meet my contact tomorrow?” “Yeah, that fine, since we’re there if you need some help, just ask.” I offered. “I plan on it,” grinned Artemis. For the next couple leagues, we kept the conversations light, jokes, talk about our simple hunts. It made time fly by, and we forgot about stopping for the night. Liam seemed to be having a good time, we all were. At nearly dawn we crossed into Hobkio, a smaller city. I had a house up on the hill, large library, whatever I could get my hands on of the supernatural world. Along with the lower parts containing much of our equipment.

I bring my gaze back to Delilah who is standing in front of me, confused. "We need to hide." "What? Why?" Before she can finish asking her questions I whisk her off her feet and straight to one of the underground bunkers in the woods. Delilah is lightweight, so it's easy to carry her along with me. On arriving at the entrance, I put her down and lift up the lid lying at the same level as the ground. "Go on, get in." She hesitates for a split second before rushing down the sloping stairs leading further into the bunker. I follow behind and lock it shut behind us.

“Deal?” “Deal. As long as you promise the same. No sacrificing yourself either.” “I promise.” I kissed him. Brief. Hard. “Let’s end this.” We waited until the guard rotation. Then moved. Silent. Fast. The maintenance tunnel was exactly where my mother said it would be hidden behind overgrown bushes. The entrance was rusted but functional. Damien picked the lock. We slipped inside. Into darkness that smelled like mold and chemicals. “How far is the central hub?” I whispered.

⸻ “A tunnel.” Silence. ⸻ Amara frowned slightly. ⸻ “…Okay?” ⸻ Dante looked at her carefully. ⸻ “Under the compound.” ⸻ The air instantly turned cold. ⸻ Lucian’s jaw tightened visibly. ⸻ “That’s impossible.” ⸻ “That’s what I said,” Dante muttered. ⸻ Amara’s stomach twisted painfully. ⸻ Because suddenly— The creature getting inside made terrifying sense. ⸻

He barely registered it. The bunker crouched ahead. Concrete and steel. A door with a message: NO SALES. NO REPAIRS. NO GODS. “She’s inside,” he said. “Or she *was,*” Dima said, scanning the tree line. “This screams trap. Quiet hill, no neighbors. Exactly the sort of place someone who knows you’d come anyway would lace with surprises.” Kael didn’t respond. His implant ached—a ghost of what had nearly dropped him in the road. The old line between their systems had been torn, then… stopped. Not erased. Cut.

Linax finally reached xor his house. Dilan stepped out and walked towards the underground base. The commandos guarding the place suddenly froze. They never expected to meet Young Thor. They were all weak in their knees as Dilan walked over to them. They could feel the ominous bloodlust coming from him, the atmosphere was strength-sapping. They all held their breaths. One of the guardians had gone to inform their master of what was happening. Dilan stopped. "Where is xor is!" he asked heartlessly

Even as the goon flinched, Huub ranted, "All I told you is to find an herb for me, but none of you could find it?! What's the point of me keeping any of you around?! You're all useless!" The goon was certainly wounded by Huub's blame too. "But, sir—the herb is really rare! We asked everyone we could ask across Zamri and Bralog, but no one knew about it! There's no way we would know! And if no one knows, we don't even know where to start!" Huub might have promised Helen that he would bring her a Bloodcrane Spiritbloom, but in reality, he did not know what it was. In fact, he had never heard that name before—he was just trying to look good, snapping back at Frank and pretending that he knew to

"Emma, ​​we don't know what's in this place. Maybe it's not just the three of us here." "Wha.. what do you mean we're not just the three of us?" Diana asked. "Umm..." Emily was nervous. Realizing his words had scared Diana. "I mean we don't know what's in this place. There could be a lot of venomous animals like scorpions, tarantulas or snakes, right? After all, animals like that do live underground." Diana nodded. Agreeing with Emily's words that make sense. "Okay. Now what?"

Despite my resistance, their grip was unyielding, forcing me forward into an even darker, colder chamber. The moment I stepped inside, an overwhelming heat washed over me. The center of the room was dominated by a vast pit of glowing, bubbling lava, casting an eerie orange glow over everything. Around the edges of the chamber stood Daimon’s monstrous army, their grotesque forms motionless yet intimidating. Their glowing eyes fixed on me as if awaiting a command.

“Aren’t they here yet?“ Hugo asked, looking around. “What happened to your mission?” Luke asked. “We succeeded, and we threw Abaddon into the abyss and slew his demons,” Hugo said. “All I know is that they’ll return here before I look for Axen.” ------ “Mom!“ Kyra yelled furiously. Not everyone believes Amira can be found in the underworld. That area is empty, with only desert-like dunes visible. They noticed Amira’s hands and feet were bound to dry branches. Demons were encircling him, as well as those with white lights.
