Keeper Of The Lost Cities Novels & Stories

"You dropped something very important." "Huh?? What is it?" "Your heart, bro. You dropped your heart!!" Then he turned around and walked outside the building laughing so hard. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I can see hearts everywhere brother. It's good to be in love!" I just shook my head at my brother’s antics and followed them, but before that I stopped by at the entrance to talk to the guards. “You heard Mr. Williams right? From now on Miss Hannah Reed is banned from entering this building.”

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.

“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!”

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

They will try to use us to their ability and make them immortal. But that's not our only problem. We're losing Ezra. He's quickly giving in to the darkness of his powers. If we don't stop him before the darkness fully takes hold, we will lose Ezra forever. The Ezra we know will forever be lost. He will be the darkness of his powers. He will roam this Earth, destroying everything in his path until there's nothing left. No one will be able to stop him once that happens. Not even those he loves can pull him back from that. Not even Roman.

Zhao Feng pinned its prayer-paper face to the tunnel floor. "Awaiting judgment," he said. That almost undid me. A soldier without a court had kept discipline for forty-eight years in the dark. I placed the Old Street Route Key on the collector's chest. "By temple law, bones of the dead are not currency, trophies, or bait." The chain of small bones shattered. Children's voices sighed in relief. The first time Zhao Feng called me Temple Keeper, I looked behind me. He noticed. "You dislike the title." "I dislike titles I haven't earned."

Bound. "Shouldn’t I be the one asking you that,? But since you asked so nicely, I am the guardian of this room.? His smile widened. “I’m the Keeper of these records,” he said calmly, taking a step closer. “Sworn to protect the truth. And punish those who dare unearth it.” My pulse spiked. So this is how Kairos kept his secrets buried he assigned a guardian. One tied by blood or vow… or worse, by magic. “I was just cleaning,” I lied, feigning innocence.

Finally, they dumped my barely conscious body into the smelly gutter behind the hotel. "Ha, you pathetic loser!" one of them spat. "You think you can fight Mr. Xander for the family inheritance?" The other added, "Yeah, what a joke! You belong in the gutter." The bodyguards cursed as they walked away. Just then, the sky opened up, and a thunderstorm began, as if nature itself wanted to shatter all the fake promises. I lay there, crying in the pouring rain. "Why, God? What did I do wrong for you to do this to me?"

More jewels and gowns than I could count. Every night he needed me, I’d put on whatever lacy thing he picked out. We’d have sex. Five years. 999 times. There were moments—his sweat dripping on my forehead, his soft breaths inside me, the way he’d look at me—when I let myself dream he loved me. Then the video dropped. Him. On the street. Kissing another woman. I knew the truth. He was my keeper, not my lover. Everyone laughed. They couldn't wait to see me lose my mind, begging him to keep me.

I am not a time traveler, but I am very prone to waking up to other people’s bodies, to a different scenario, to a different timeline. If someone will ask me who I am, my only answer will be…I am someone lost in time.
