Labyrinth Owl Novels & Stories

I recognized the ringing voice of the Larni woman right away. A gigantic owl landed very close by, blasting us with an elastic wave of wind from its gigantic gray wings. -Professor! - the disheveled healer rolled down from the back of her companion and stretched out along the line. - I beg your pardon for being late! Couldn't manage at all. The Dean of Hunters grunted contentedly, folding his arms across his chest. You are amazing, Melwes. Where did you find this bird? - At the edge of the forest. It's a foggy owl, professor. She can only be lured out at dusk and with the help of this, - the girl showed some kind of plant with silver-green small leaves.

Lirien murmurs, eyes distant, “he did.” The word did sits heavy in my chest. Before anyone can say more— A shadow sweeps across the table. Wind rushes through the hall, sharp and sudden, extinguishing several candles at once. Plates rattle. Someone curses. Then something lands on the table between the fruit bowl and Ezra’s coffee. An owl. It’s massive. Bigger than it should be, feathers ink-black and silver, eyes glowing faintly gold. It stares at us, unblinking. Every muscle in my body locks.

“When an azure loses her gift, she is forced to serve the goddess here, in her azure form, protecting the labyrinth and keeping it alive.” “No, that isn’t what I saw.” “The Luna lured them in. I took their gift. True, but the blessing of the azure is their curse; they must sustain the labyrinth when their gift is lost. That is why they are here.” “Sustain how?” “The labyrinth is alive; it must replenish itself to stay alive, and that is what your kind does.” Elyssa frowned as she listened. Ravyn was a damn liar. “Leave now, Azure. It is for your own good.”

The deformed feet had already marked the bird as a servant of the demon. Before he could decide what to do about this new arrival, a brown streak appeared out of nowhere and smashed into the crow. Black feathers exploded outside the window as the bird let out a piercing squawk. Ralin watched as the sharp talons and pointed beak of a brown and white owl tore the crow apart, then dropped the remains to the ground beyond Ralin’s sight. The owl turned and winked one of its wide round eyes at Ralin. Ralin smiled. “Thanks, Jenna.” He had not really needed any help from the witch—no single bird, demon bred or otherwise—was a match for his magic. But it was nice to know they had allies keeping an ey

I ask. Me and Liam are total opposites. Mainly because he looks like someone from the Arctic race, blonde haired, blue eyes and pale skin, whereas I'm warm, brunet, with brown eyes. If I am to be honest I should be the one calling him Icy, not the other way around.

The Labyrinth Entry The entrance gaped like a beast’s throat—twenty metres wide, as tall, a stone arch flayed by floodlights so that deep carvings cast jagged shadows. Labrys marks—double axes—glimmered where water ran down grooves older than empires. Cables snaked along the ground, feeding rows of lamps that pushed the dark only so far. The air tasted of oil, hot metal, and men who worked too long. Stephanos slipped inside, keeping low, a mouse that knew the hawks by name.

It was the heart of the labyrinth, holding secrets that could change the course of their quest and redefine their understanding of the amulet's true power. The heart of the labyrinth emanated a pulsating, ethereal light, casting intricate shadows that danced upon the ancient stone walls. At its center stood a pedestal, similar to the one they had encountered earlier, but this one bore multiple imprints, suggesting a place for each member to offer a piece of themselves. Lysandra, her voice filled with awe, whispered, "This... this isn't just a way out. It's a nexus, a focal point of the labyrinth's energy."

However, looking at the earnest expression of a kind-hearted man of God, he hastily drew a general map to tell Zen the safest path. “The labyrinth is very dark,” he informed Zen. “You could use magic to light the place, but many other monsters would be drawn to the light even if you follow this path.
