Keeper Of The Lost Cities Fanfiction นิยาย & เรื่องราว

He'd hunted Elena directly for weeks now, and every attempt had failed against a protection he hadn't accounted for, an Alpha, a Guardian, allies gathering faster than he could isolate her. "If she reaches the true relic first, I lose," he said to the figure waiting nearby. "So I stop chasing the relic. I stop chasing her." His voice went colder. "I start destroying the people helping her reach it, one at a time, until she has no one left standing beside her." He turned toward the palace map spread across the table before him. "Send word to our people inside the palace. It's time they earned their patience." The Keeper led us back toward the surface, the coffins' light dimming behind us, her

Jace whispered, his eyes wide. Before us lay a sprawling metropolis of translucent spires and floating arches. It was beautiful, but it was the beauty of a tomb. There were no lights in the windows, no smoke from chimneys. It was a city of frozen glass, preserved in a pocket of time where the wind didn't blow and the sun never set. "This is the Aethelgard," Kaelen breathed, his voice full of academic awe. "The lost capital of the First Shifters. Legend said it was swallowed by the earth during the Great Cleansing, but it wasn't swallowed. It was exiled."

Its face was hidden beneath a hood, but when it spoke, its voice was layered - one moment male, the next female, the next something inhuman. "You have come at last." A shiver crawled down Nicola’s spine. "Who are you?" The figure lifted its head just enough for her to see the glint of silver eyes beneath the hood. "I am the Keeper of the Lost," it said. "The guardian of what was stolen. And you… are the one who seeks the truth." Nicola’s breath caught. Elias stepped forward. "She has come to understand what lies ahead." The Keeper tilted its head, as if studying her. Then it gestured to the altar. "Then she must remember."

It was the eyes. Eyes like black voids, endless pits that seemed to swallow all light, all hope, all life. I felt as though I were falling into them, lost in their depth. They were eyes that had seen the rise and fall of countless empires, that had witnessed the deaths of innumerable souls. Eyes that held no mercy, no compassion. “You seek him,” the Keeper said, its voice a low rumble that reverberated through the air. “The Alpha who has lost his way.”

Humans included. I told her I’d look into why and sent my mother to help her calm them. Thankfully, Mother hadn’t asked any questions. Upon mentioning it to Sybella, her eyebrows had raised, and she’d muttered something about the goddess keeping more secrets. I didn’t push; she’d been too focused on my mate and I suspected, consulting the secret-keeping deity. “Dad says the interrogator and the contingent to help with the border wall have arrived,” Cole murmurs mentally, causing me to start.

He knew from the very first day? “What exactly is he, anyway?” I asked. “Don’t worry. He is nothing fancy like a dragon or phoenix. He is just a guardian animal. Lost souls are usually allotted guardians… even humans, though they never see their true forms. Goddesses don’t have guardians usually, then again, Goddesses don’t lose their memories and struggle with few measly demons. So, if anyone needs a guardian, it would be you,” he said. I was offended, but I couldn’t protest because what he said was true.

He looked at me with sadness in his eyes. “No,” I lied. “There's just something that got into my eyes'' I gave him a smile while I rubbed my eyes. He held my hand and put it in his face. He smiled as he looked at me with the softness in his eyes.. “I missed you. Not a day goes by that I didn’t think of you. Not a day goes by that I didn’t miss you. I miss you so much Sean. My kitten.” My heart swells in so much happiness hearing those words coming out from his mouth. How can he still be good to me after what I did to him?

Before he could say anything more, he watched Katherine collapse on the floor with a loud thud. A/N: Hey Readers!! First of all, sorry for not updating the chapter yesterday. I wanted to give you regular updates this week too but sadly, both my books, 'His lost love' and 'Doomed to love you' were stolen and illegally published on a pirate app Solnovel. I had a hectic day, informing my Editor, talking to my fellow authors and sending emails to those cheap apps.

“Queen of the Ashes. Heir of the Forgotten Goddess.” Elara closed her eyes. For the first time, she did not deny. She did not flee. She accepted. The flames wrapped around her, and the ruins trembled with awakening power. ---

“So, you’re still not over being punished when you murdered your cousin—” “I murdered no one! How many times do I have to tell you that she’s been transported through a different space-time by—” “By a forbidden object you forcibly make.” Dark shook his head. “And here you are lecturing me of protecting someone who invented a forbidden invention. Tsk. Tsk. Such irony!” Zephaniah clenched her fist. “This isn’t about that! You’re going to destroy the future of this city, and I will not let you do that!”
