Little Embers Blind Boxes Novels & Stories

At the engagement party, my fiancee, Emily Carter, and my parents, Nathan Morgan and Jennifer Williams, set up a table filled with mystery boxes. My younger brother, Freddie Morgan, playfully tugs on Emily's sleeve. "There are so many boxes here. Richard can't possibly open them all. Can I open three?" Emily smiles and affectionately pats the back of his hand. "Your playful nature hasn't changed a bit since the day your brother and I met." My parents laugh warmly. "Freddie has always been lucky. Maybe he'll win a big prize." Freddie eagerly grabs three boxes and opens them one after another. The first contains a card announcing a ten-day honeymoon trip to the Azure Isles. The second

Inside lay something unexpected. "What I’m about to give you," he began, voice low, "is a piece of the Ember itself. A shard that came loose while tending to the done. It was too exquisite to discard, so I carved it into this." From the box, he lifted a necklace, old and worn but striking. The pendant at its center was a stunning, deep purple stone, glowing faintly as though it held a piece of the Ember’s flame within. My breath caught. "It’s... beautiful."

“Anyway, we would take turns opening our gifts, and I would be the last to go.” “Yeah, sure, let’s just get this started.” I took the box Liza was holding out and I opened it, but my breath caught my throat as I saw a locket with a picture of Toby and me on each side, and I took her in my arms, squeezing her to my bosom. “Thank you.” I whispered in her ears. Emily was a mug of all seven of us and a leather jacket with Maddie written at the back. Tiana was a book that contained fighting tactics and tricks and a black combat boot.

She was still looking at the cube-shaped thing with a velvet surface, then raised her face to look into Alex's smiling eyes. "It's a surprise from me; open it!" replied the man who successfully made Emily splutter. "Did you forget that I don't like surprises? But... thank you. I hope I didn't trouble you for this thing." Emily then opened the box in her hands and looked at the shiny object in front of her. A ladybird-shaped object with a sprinkling of gemstones on the top, making it impossible for Emily not to smile happily. Alex still remembered that Emily had always loved ladybugs. And this gift from Alex—no matter how much it cost, was very special to Emily.

Ember inquires as she starts to sniff around, leaving the gift boxes that she was trying to pack and tracing the scent of the food to Brian's hands as she takes the lid of the big basket off. “Ohhhhh my God!” Ember gasps in shock “There is soo much food in here!” she exclaims as she moves to the next basket without acknowledging the one holding the food basket. “I will take this from here” she says, taking one of the baskets from Brian and departing towards the direction of the house, while he just stares at her with a mixture of sadness in his eyes.

Simone who is tying his necktie looks at her with his clueless reaction. “What news, Emi? You seemed drooling? What was it?,” he uttered. “Queen Lana will be releasing a freaking pop album,” that made his eyes twinkle. He is in fact a Lana stan too. That is why they bonded so well, because they are like having the same tastes on almost everything. “When will it be dropped?” “Oh, dear. You would not believe this even more,” “Just spill it.” “It's on Taylor Swift's birthday.” Now that he heard it. He looked at her with an are-you-kidding-me-look.

Saavi had put her full body weight on Dhruv who held her like he was protecting her. "Dhruv," Saavi called him running her index finger on his bicep. "Yes, love." "Why do you call me Ember To My Flame?" she asked remembering when she was about to commit suicide Dhruv stopped her and confessed Saavi was The Ember to his Flame. "Interesting Question, love." Dhruv smiled before asking, "Do you know what Ember is?" Saavi raised her head from his chest and nodded vigorously. She answered her husband as she said, "Yes, a piece of wood or coal that is not burning, but is still red and hot after a fire has died."

"Well, it's my pet. I can't find it, dunno where it went. My poor baby." "Ohh, please don't worry. I will help you find it, what's its name?" "It's called Ember." "I see, what color is it?" "It has a striking coat of fur that is marbled with white, black, and blue. It looks very cute. Oh, and it has amber eyes." "Alright." Maryn walked towards the garden while looking for the pet the old granny told her about. "Ember, are you there? Ember? Can you hear me?"

“That will be used to pass a message to them.” Then she turned her back against them, pulling out a small bundle of fur and bone from her pouch. She tossed it into the flames burning behind the cave. A shrill.. scream filled the cave, inhuman and echoing from no throat. The flames flared, then died down. “I’ve marked him,” she said. “But won’t Dauris be watching him?” Felix asked. "Yes. But that's where the fun starts," She whispered. “While they’re all looking at Ember, the new luna, they won’t notice the real trap.”

Della exclaimed. Leslie laughed as she opened the box. She gasped and lifted out the necklace inside. It was a deep red stone set in a plain gold chain. The stone was a deep rich red that seemed to hold the light rather than simply reflect it. Leslie held it up and went very still. "It is the Lonefur Ember," she said in excitement. "I did not think he would part with this. I did not think he was capable of it." "What is the Lonefur Ember?" I asked.
