Journey To The West Novels & Stories

She stood up from her seat abruptly and dashed outside. Lola saw Sandhya run outside hurriedly. She called, "Where are you going right now? Hey?" But Sandhya didn't stop neither she answered. She pushed the crowd and parted her way towards the girl who was lying on the cold ground injured. She was trying to push herself to get up but due to the injuries on her legs, she was unable to get up. When Sandhya was finally able to cross the crowd she saw that the person who had pushed her was preparing to cast a spell on her. He was holding a wand in front of his and a ball of fire had gathered on the tip of the wand. There was a sinister smile on his face.

"Starblood pack." That was not one I had heard of or had encountered before. I tilted my head as I said, "I have never heard of it, so there is a good chance that it is not anywhere nearby. And If it’s too far, I am not exactly a fast runner and won’t be able to keep up with other wolves easily..." I trailed off, waiting to see how they would respond. The Beta looked deep in thought. "It is about a week's journey to the west. Hmmm... If we can get a picnic basket, would you allow yourself to be carried in it?"

"The bridge allows me to see. To hear. To feel. There is a presence beyond the eastern mountains. A presence that is curious about us. Curious about me." "Hostile?" "No. Not hostile. Inquisitive." The journey to the eastern mountains takes a week. Kael insists on coming. My mother insists on coming. Freya insists on coming. Darian and Roran and Elara insist on coming. A small company of the best warriors Silvermoon has to offer. The landscape changes as we travel. The familiar forests give way to rocky terrain. The air grows thinner, colder. The sky takes on a strange hue, as if filtered through a lens I cannot see.

“Four gods, twenty-eight stars. Each star is represented by an individual who possesses one of the god’s powers. Finding the seven stars will not be easy, but it is also your only chance of going home.” The task was daunting and seemed full of uncertainties. Besides, according to Jin, it was according to legend. What if the legend wasn’t true? What is she going to do, then? “I sense a lot of confusion in you,” Jin said. “Don’t worry, I will give you some time to think. For now, rest. Tomorrow, we continue our journey.” The way to the capital was a half-day journey. According to Jin, they should start early in order to avoid the intense heat brought about by the afternoon sun.

Behind him, the great peaks of the North stood tall and white, guarding the home we were leaving behind. "Mama?" Cian asked, crawling up between Kaelen and me. "Is the West far away?" "Very far, honey," I said, ruffling his hair. "But we're going together. That's all that matters." We traveled for three days before we reached the edge of the Great Desert. The green trees of the North began to thin out, replaced by stunted bushes and red, sun baked earth. On the fourth night, we camped under a sky that felt much larger than the one back home. The stars were bright and cold. Kaelen was tending the fire while the children slept inside the wagon.

It just goes to show how vast the empire is. Someone could live comfortably for years by simply acquiring ownership of a portion of the empire on their own. But no one wants to live in constant fear of being caught, so I doubt many people would do something like this. We were travelling from East to West, a month-long journey. I trained while the carriage travelled, and the scenery changed several times, from forest to desert to mountains to hills. I remembered Henry and the assignment I had given him. "Take care of this shop for me."

*Isabella* The creak of the wagon wheels’ monotonous lullaby starkly contrasts with the chaotic howls and traditional camp songs that still echo in my ears. Last night, several of the packs travelin’ west got together on the outskirts of St. Louie for a final farewell. Chet and I communicated through the mind-link and stolen glances across the campfire, surrounded by both our families and friends. The wild west feels so close and yet still so far away as we travel northwest through corn and wheat fields today.

Irritated but compliant, she put on her backpack and hopped on the turtle then sank into the water. She continues to stare into the river as it sank until the moonlight couldn't be seen anymore. The turtle was a Jing, a Chinese familiar, of her old man mainly used for transportation. Even if it is a turtle, it looks more like a snake with a giant snail shell for accommodation but the old man insists that it is a turtle albeit a long-necked turtle. She looked around as the shell acts as a transparent barrier which provides both space and air. However, there is no view. It is nighttime after all so all she can see is complete darkness. She could've used night vision but she prefers not to have

Emilia's POV The journey west took five days. With each mile we crossed, the lush forests of Elara's homeland faded farther behind us. Green valleys gave way to rocky plains. The cool breeze vanished. Before long, nothing remained but endless golden sand stretching to every horizon. The Burning Desert. Legends claimed it had once been a thriving kingdom blessed by the Moon Goddess herself. But after the first war against the Void, celestial fire had fallen from the heavens, transforming the land into a sea of endless dunes.

Murphy still seemed to be under the shock of the bombshells, she wasn’t saying anything, she was just trying to feel the gravity of the earth pulling them, it was the sudden actions of disbelief that kept her in incredulity. The sand storm had again been formed by the monstrous engines running through the heart of the golden sandy land, they couldn’t appreciate the destination they were traveling to, everything was covered with the sand flying around them like a dust devil. It was when they had traveled a few km on the ride that the destination was due. The engine slowed down a bit, and the sand land was over, they were entering into a huge stony built area. They couldn’t see clearly from th
