Keeper Of The Lost Cities Characters Novels & Stories

“Detectives, we do not make threats, we only deliver warnings and if that warning is not heeded. They will be more bodies found in that lake.” The Apions founded the town of WavesPort, the hands of their ancestors forged its edifices and helmed its innovation in the chrysalis of time. The Apions were the beloved royal family, glorified by the town because of the prosperity they pruned, their charity and notorious hospitality.

But finally, we stood at the base of the tower, its entrance beckoning us. Before we could step inside, a figure materialized before the entrance. It was an older woman, her eyes reflecting wisdom and sadness. "Who are you?" I asked cautiously. She smiled gently. "I am the Keeper of Memories. And you have come seeking answers." Alex stepped forward. "We've sacrificed much to be here. Tell us, how do we stop the impending disaster? How do we protect our world?" The Keeper looked at each of us, her gaze lingering on me. "To find the answers, you must face your deepest fears and confront the truths hidden in your own memories. Only then can you hope to save your world."

My body which was once weak suddenly felt refreshed as I walked toward the city, this was going to be a new start. I was getting closer and closer to the city but Anya wasn't getting better instead she got weaker and she suddenly passed out, panic built up in my chest as I quickly got closer to the city in search of help. "Please stay with, Anya." I pleaded to try my best to stay positive that she would be fine, we've both come a long way for us to give up in the middle of nowhere. As I got closer to the city I saw some patrolling guards and smiled as we got nearer….. We were going to be saved.

"We're almost there." He raised his hand to a taxi driver at the other side of the parking lot. The taxi driver drove his beat-up Toyota towards us. A small man in a white dress shirt and Khaki pants jumped out. "Where are you going, sir?" the man spoke in accented English. Dad unfolded his map of the modern city and squinted over it for what seemed like forever. He was an archaeologist who could read ancient maps like the back of his hand, but he was hopeless with the current cities. I used to tease him that his mind belonged in the ruins and not the modern world.

I relayed to him everything we had in our conversation. "That's right, my lady," Connor agreed. "But that excludes us. Conrad and I are your keepers so you don't need to have mistrust on us," he spoke with assurance. "Keeper?" I raised my head and our eyes met.

The once vibrant blue sky was now marred by countless purple orbs, each a pulsating reminder of the encroaching darkness. Liam and Xal'dar stood side by side, their bodies humming with the residual energy of their transformation. They were no longer just men; they were wardens, guardians of a world on the brink. The Guardian, a colossal figure shrouded in mist, turned towards them. "Your journey has just begun," its voice rumbled. "The corruption spreads like wildfire.
