Into The New World Ballad Novels & Stories

The clear voice rang out quickly, she took a deep breath and added: "Tell me, what are you going to do to help me get back to the real world, and what do I need to do next?" The other side did not seem to be surprised at Adela's quick answer, he smiled lightly: "In front of you is the setup and operation of this world. Its purpose is...to help you get through. five random worlds to return to reality." "Five random worlds?" Adela looked at the white screen in front of her eyes that was lit up with words like a computer screen, she bewilderedly asked if it was not because she was startled to find that this world was actually created because of her. Because she or not is no longer important? Wh

Everybody inhaled after they heard this as they were obviously shocked by what the Fourth Elder said. The Third Elder once again shook his head and said in disbelief, “There’s a small possibility for that to be the case, right? Unless the previous incident re-occurred and the members of the Anti-Alliance Guard proactively went over to bring people here. The people from the abandoned world would need to gather all seven stone balls if they want to enter this area or they wouldn’t have such an opportunity!”

I don’t have an answer. …My wounds are almost closing, and so is the snake. Fighting each other… collapsing, and healing. Over and over. This… feels so pointless. How long should I go on with this…? If… I approach them during that time… would they accept a good for nothing Cat like me…? Will I live as happily just as they are…? However, it’s too late. That human boy is dead— NYA…!? What’s with that blinding light coming from that spot…!!?

I nod my head in response and look straight, feeling the plane taking off slowly from the ground. We were finally leaving this place behind. I took this chance and look out of the window, admiring the beauty of my hometown. “Goodbye,” I say softly, placing my palm on the window and feel a tear roll down my cheeks. Mom grasps my hand and says, “Don’t worry. You will make many friends in New York. Don’t think about what happened anymore okay?” I gave her a sad smile and look away. Never look back at this place again and move on. This will be my new beginning. I repeat this in my head a hundred times before I drift off to sleep wondering what my future will be like...

Audrey said, closing her eyes as the stasis-mist began to fill the chamber. The first dawn on the new world—tentatively named Novus—was a silent explosion of violet and pale gold. As the twin suns rose over the horizon, the blue sands of the valley began to shimmer, vibrating with a high-frequency resonance that caused the bronze-wood hull of Aethelgard to hum in a low, minor key.

Inside, the bond throbs with a new, dawning certainty. I’ve made a crack in their world. They’re going to try to break me for it.

“That’s all I can promise.” Lyra blinked, then snorted a laugh, and in that moment, the new world actually seemed possible. * That night, in the battered nave, the wolves celebrated. They poured out liquor for every lost name, they sang and cursed and danced and wept. By morning, Carolina had lost count of what she owed the living, and what she owed the dead. But when the dawn leaked over the spires and the bells tolled, she welcomed it. The city was not healed, not yet, but it had stopped its bleeding. And as Carolina watched the horizon burn with new light, she let herself believe.

We were watching TV one day when one of us accidentally changed the channel to an interview with a pilgrim. It was Morgan. He looked like he'd aged decades. He was so worn that I almost couldn't recognize him. The footage showed him chanting while worshiping at the feet of the gods he was praying to. I was taken aback and dazed by this. He'd never believed in these things in the past, even casting aside the protective talisman I'd gotten him. Now, however, he sincerely got on his knees and bowed before the gods.

He faded from the city, a pathetic figure no one remembered. When the dust settled, Fabio took me to his family's old estate. We walked down a stone path, his hand warm in mine. "My mother loved crabapple blossoms," he said. "She said they stand for love that endures pain." I paused, caught off guard. He stopped, turning to me seriously. "You can tear up that agreement anytime. My promise to you wasn't just for then. It's forever." I blinked in confusion. Then he led me to the rooftop, where a telescope stood. "Remember this?"

Just as darkness surrounds me, a bright piercing white light forces its way to behind my eyes. A sharp pain registers in my chest as my heart bursts back into life, my lungs now burning painfully as I suck in air. “I am giving you a second chance to right the wrong against you.” A ghostly voice echoes out in my ears. My eyes shoot open…steel shutters have morphed into a blank white ceiling. The cold blood-soaked ground is replaced with the comfort of my bed. Gone are the mutant wolves trying to eat me alive. And beside me, Anton's heavy arm rests across my waist. I am back.…. I am reborn.
