Last Gate Of The Emperor Novels & Stories

The wrinkles on Hendramo's forehead started to return as he glanced at the watch wrapped around his arm, trying to make sure he wasn't coming home too late. "Weird," Hendramo muttered. “Is Niar out?" "But it's too late for him to still be out." Hendramo's feelings were not at all calm. He even looked around to make sure Niar was around. But when he found nothing, Hendramo just sighed and entered. "Maybe he's asleep already?" He could just be tired from leaving yesterday.

he says, and there's the same weight in those four words that was there at the altar. The limo pulls around. Dante opens the door and waits. I look back once at Papa and Aurelia standing side by side. Papa raises one hand to wave goodbye. Aurelia presses her fingers to her lips. I settle into the car. Through the tinted glass, I watch them shrink to shadows. Then they're gone. The ache in my chest is unreasonable. "Stop it," Dante says beside me. "We aren't being sent into the wilderness. We're just going away for a few days,.

Chief Kaius asserted. "Were you not witness to what happened ten years ago, Kaius? History has repeated itself and you are telling me not to banish her to the Alcatraz forever? You do not command me or tell me what to do. I am Emperor and my word is final." Chief Kaius silenced his next words. There was no point in arguing with the emperor when he had already made up his mind. With one last glance at his brother, Chief Kaius sighed deeply and stalked off, leaving the emperor to his thoughts and anger.

Valerie shouted as they helped Enzo to stand up. I quickly took my bag and the diary of Aria that fell on the floor before I took Jax's hand and pulled him away from there, I can feel Jax's body trying to fight back from me and wanting to stay and start a fight but I scolded him to just listen and I'm thankful that he did listen. I just held his hand and pulled him until we reached the garden. I made him sit on the bench before I sat beside him. I put the diary inside the bag before I faced him.

The Earth Emperor Mausoleum was not only the Great Emerald Empire's imperial tomb but also the only site left behind by the Earth Emperor before and after his ascension. Jaxon watched Chase floating in midair, radiating a thick aura of the Death Order of the Path. The phantom of the Nether Deity Hall looked eerily similar to the palaces within the Earth Emperor Mausoleum. His brows furrowed tightly. He vaguely felt something was wrong but could not put his finger on it. "Father, doesn't the symbol on that palace phantom look a lot like the ones inside the Earth Emperor Mausoleum?" Lazlo always spoke his mind without a filter.

"If not here, where?" He was rummaging around when a pile of discarded paper on the table caught his eye. They were the 'forgiveness cards' I had made, each one stamped with a little red heart. His hands shook as he spread them out across the table. He tried to wipe away the red hearts, but they were stubborn, refusing to fade. Staring down at the 66 cards fanned out before him, Walter was hit by a memory. On our wedding day, he had looked me in the eyes and promised, "Melissa, I won't ever need these! My love for you is eternal!"

Leo was asleep, his head resting on my lap, his breathing steady and slow. I looked out at the atoll. The lanterns were flickering out one by one as the sun prepared to take over. I could see the silhouettes of the new generation beginning their day. I saw Lara heading back to the docks. I saw Tunde’s descendants opening the nursery doors. The knife was a memory. The vial was a relic. The empire was a ghost. I looked down at Leo. We were the last of the old world. The last ones who remembered the smell of smoke and the sound of the zip ties snapping. When we eventually closed our eyes for the last time, the last connection to that darkness would be gone.

Ashtar silently watched until they disappeared behind the door. And once it closed— His expression changed completely. One of the elders approached him and whispered nervously: “Could she really be…?” Ashtar closed his eyes for a moment. Then said in a heavy voice: “If what I suspect is true…” He slowly opened his eyes. “…then the entire empire will turn upside down.” … Iris stepped outside behind Gabriel quickly as the massive stone doors slowly closed behind them. The cold air hit her face immediately. Snow continued falling lightly over the surrounding mountains, and the guards at the passage bowed as Gabriel passed.

That was when the emperor would awaken and kill everyone. 'Wait. He's going to wake up in a thousand and two hundred years? But that's this year!' Adrian took a deep breath. All of the information he gathered so far told him a powerful person would awaken and kill everyone. If the images were right, then it was about time for the Gost emperor to break out of the seal. Rumble!!! Right at that moment, Adrian felt the entire shake as though there was an earthquake. The magnitude was not great and quickly passed. Adrian quickly turned toward the door of the main hall. The emperor was sealed behind that door. He would run into the emperor if he passed through it.

As if Aster has been keeping the place in its pristine condition since he was crowned as the new Emperor. “As the usurper, I cannot believe Aster still kept this place untouched. And I mean didn’t set these wonderful portraits on fire, symbolizing the end of the Wycliffe Clan. I guess he has huge respect for your ancestors and the history of the Empire. It is really admirable.” Laurent uttered in a whisper as we stepped inside. His voice was so low as if he was scared he might wake up the spirits lingering around the great hall.
