Keeper Of The Lost Cities Characters Novels & Stories

Sarah gasped, shocked and resolved, colliding in her eyes. John stood stunned. Callen whispered, “The reversal completes the heir becomes the keeper. The keeper becomes the heir.” Clint hissed. “No!” He lunged for Sarah. John sprang in front of her. His fist met Clint’s blow, sparks flew, the ground cracked, but the world shifted again. The Forgotten rose, not as monsters, not as pawns, they were alive, eyes filled with memory, anger and hope. They parted clearing a path toward Clint and the shattered crown.

“All this time, she has held me by her side, for I am needed there. I am a special wolf, Kayla. I have aided the Moon Goddess in spirit, watching over Luporath.” “Luporath?” I whispered, the name sending a shiver through me. “What do you mean?” “I am the last descendent of the lost city of Luporath,” she explained. “And thus I am its protector. Every choice you have made, even crushing the compass bracelet to keep Luporath hidden, was guided by my spirit.”

Nobody had possessed the grace to look past the widespread destruction, past the rampaging monster, and past the existential fear to see the agonizing hurt buried underneath. Aurora began crying openly, her silver light pulsing softly. Suddenly, she understood the architecture of the beginning. The Keeper was not a warrior destined to tilt the scales, nor were they a ruler meant to command the gods. The Keeper was a witness. They were the guardian of primordial balance, the one tasked with remembering what everyone else forgot. Including forgiveness. Luca stood at the dead center of the Source, watching, listening, and learning as the ancient truths settled into his mind.

The survivors nearby watched nervously. Waiting. Hoping Renn would explain. Instead he whispered a single sentence. "The legends were true." A knot formed in my stomach. "What legends?" Renn stared toward the distant horizon. Toward the thirteen rising fortresses. Toward the giants awakening beneath the earth. "The Keeper." The word carried weight. Ancient weight. "What keeper?" The old scholar swallowed. "The Keeper of the Key." The world seemed to grow colder. Even the fire beside us dimmed slightly. As though reality itself was listening.

this. "She was hiding," Kael said, talking faster now. "Just like my mom was. The Keepers are a group of women whose job is to guard powerful old things, to keep them safe from bad people. The job gets passed down from mothers to daughters. My mom's name was Lyra and she told me your grandmother was the one who taught her everything. She said your grandma was the smartest and strongest Keeper."

"He’s just a man. You... you're a god in a hoodie, Caleb. And it’s terrifying. Because I don't know if I'm talking to my brother or the 'Keeper' of some ancient grudge." "I'm your brother," Caleb said, as his silver eyes softened, though they didn't turn back to brown. "But the Keeper is the one who’s going to have to save your lives when the ground opens up. So decide now; do you want the brother who lies, or the Keeper who survives?"

And then looked at the fire crackling in front of them. “When the civilizations where young, the Lord of the Heavens chose three gifted humans to protect the chamber of knowledge and history. He chose them not because of their lineage but because for their specific gifts. One could summon any creature, both magical and mythical, another could make the elements stopped as if he lorded it while another controls the elements. They’re called the guardians. Their purpose is to protect the secrets which lies inside the Chamber and only them could access it.” “Why so, mama?” she inquired as she inched closer to her mother.

"Hidden City. A haven for the lost, broken, and forgotten. It's where the abused become strong, the outcasted are wanted, and hope for mankind is revived. Blah, blah, blah. I've been there a few times." "Wait, are you a citizen?" Jonah asked "No. Though I was offered." "Protector?" "I'm not looking to play hero, remember." "Then how?" "I found it bypassed the security, which needs some serious work. I was caught, questioned, and released after declining to be a citizen. But I was still granted a pass to enter the city by a very enthusiastic fellow named Milo. He claimed to be one of the founders of the city. Ironically, isn't the Hidden City meant to be found?"

Jessica follows me. “Be careful” Thaddeus says and we nod “Hey Arig” I greet the annoying guard as we walk past him. “Alien. You remember me” she smiles “Of course I remember my enemy” I say raising an eyebrow “I was afraid you chose peace” he replies “I dare not” he giggles at my words “This is Jessica, my sister” I say and he raises an eyebrow “Are you migrating between universes?” he asks. His question surprised me

She took my breath away. I only managed to break free from the spell when the stunning woman spoke. “Is he the new guy, Emmy?” Her sweet voice was like music to my ears. Though she was talking to Emmy, her eyes fixated on me. Her gaze was inquisitive, albeit more subtle than Emmy’s. It seemed Emmy and the pretty lady were acquainted. “Yes, he is. His name is Brook D’Amico. He’s highly educated and intellectually gifted.” Emmy paused and blinked before drawling.
