Looking Into The Abyss Novels & Stories

Too ragged, too many voices layered together. Rogues. “They’re here,” I whispered. Dax didn’t look relieved. He looked annoyed. “Of course they are.” We reached the ravine floor and sprinted along the cut in the earth. The walls rose on either side like black teeth. Ahead, a thin seam of orange light split the rock—faint, steady, unnatural. A fissure. It glowed like buried coals. Dax slowed only enough to shove me behind him again. “Stay close. Don’t breathe loud.”

"The flood was merely a greeting, Emma. The real tide is the one that rises from within. The First King left a hole in the world, and the Abyss is simply the water filling the gap. You cannot stop the gravity of the soul." With a sudden, violent movement, he slammed the trident into the sand. The ground beneath the Sun-Spire didn't just shake; it dissolved. A massive sinkhole opened in the center of the harbor, a swirling vortex of black water that began to pull the very foundations of the city into the dark. "EMMA!" Félix screamed, catching me as the stone beneath us gave way. We didn't fall alone. The vortex was a physical gravity that pulled the "Pact" toward its center. Nathaniel, Maya,

He softened his tone and said, "They are all experienced and seasoned Lunas. It's normal that you don't measure up to them yet. Read up more, and you'll surpass them one day." "I don't want to listen to your lectures!" Vivian cried and pounded on his chest. "If you really loved me, you'd be on my side! You would teach that dumb Luna a lesson instead of letting her walk all over me!" Alexander felt an overwhelming sense of exhaustion as he gazed at the hysterical Vivian before him. The burden pressed down on him, making it hard for him to breathe. Where had things all gone wrong? How had Vivian become so… unbearable?

I looked at the darkness and flames everywhere, then I looked at us near a cliff and watched as I threw myself into the abyss. When the vision was gone, Aris was pale, and I threw up.

Wordlessly, I nod at her, and when I round the table, she steps out and pulls me into a hug, as if I was going away forever, this was getting creepier by the minute. She squeezed me, leaning into my ear, she whispered, “If his father is the abyss, staring into the abyss, the abyss tends to stare back.” On the drive back home I contemplate everything, there was something she knew, and she was not going to say anything they didn’t authorize her to say. What was going on here? What does staring into the abyss even mean? “Baby girl.” he murmured as he snuck his arms around my waist from behind, I would have jumped if not for his calming scent.

Buses. Stupid buses are always late making me take the taxi. Fuck, I’m not going to make it to the stupid orientation today. Just why would we need to attend this yearly? We’re fourth-year seniors, we don’t need this, in fact, what we need is a rest. From the university, from the activities, tasks, and, of course, we need to get a life. I could feel the glance of the driver at me, maybe because I have been rolling my eyes non-stop while typing away on my phone.

Right now, I don't feel so guilty, not that much, because at least, I've returned some people back to their proper lives. Agatha looked ahead, at the expanse of darkness in front. In the current moment of silence, it looked like the abyss staring at her, waiting to swallow her whole and convert her into a monster. It was also the devil's hour so even if one managed to shrug off the abyss' stares, there was a chance they would instead feel ghosts and evil spirits lingering on their skin.

The onerous darkness closed around Ethan, Lena, and Selene as they stood at the brink of the Abyss exhausted. The ruddy eyes within the distance burned like twin coals, observing them with pernicious aim. The snarl that was taken after sent a shudder down their spines, a reminder that they were not alone.

The night is still young, the stars are just starting to show themselves in a cloudless but cold evening, reminding the people who are out for a walk or for dining or just roaming around that in the morning, the rain came and washes away the dust accumulated by the pollution which is the product of human's uncaring for the environment. Even Cassandra noticed how beautiful the night stars are and asked Imman to look out of the window to see the scenery. She was surprised when the lawyer recounted the night when he was seven years old and saw the twinkling stars above his head. "It was a beautiful evening way back then, Cass! It was cold and cloudless but I have never forgotten that night - th

A sob broke through my chest, sharp and helpless. “Please…” I whispered into the empty room, my voice cracking in the silence. I run to the window and throw it open. Cold air rushes in. And that’s when I see it. Endless trees. No houses or cars. Just forest swallowing the horizon. My breath leaves me in a broken sob. I’m not in Paris. I’m not even near civilization.
