Metal Keyblade Novels & Stories

The sky cracked. "Do it, Maya!" Kael roared. "Be the Queen of the Cinder! Wake them up!" I stepped into the grey. The cold was absolute. It felt like my skin was being flayed by a thousand tiny razors. I reached Kael, my hand finding the center of his chest. Beneath the tattered fabric of his shirt, I felt the "Gold." It was a hard, glowing sphere of energy, the core of the Alpha. I raised the rusted key.

"It’s eight o’clock on a Tuesday, it’s pouring rain, and you’re standing on my mat trying to sell me junk?" "Sir, this isn't just any product," he said, his expression remaining eerily flat. He reached into his case and pulled out a heavy, strangely ornate brass key. "This is a Master-Pattern key. It’s a marvel of engineering. It’s designed to bypass the tumblers of—"

Folded back. Almost neatly. I stared at it. "That's strange." "It is," Kael agreed. "If you're searching in a hurry, you don't stop to straighten a blanket." "So why did they?" Kael didn't answer. Instead, he pulled the blanket away completely. Something small rolled onto the floor. A key. Old. Silver. I blinked. "That's not mine." Kael picked it up. It wasn't shaped like the keys used around the castle. The handle was carved into the shape of a crescent moon.

His heart pounded as he reached out, his fingers brushing against a jagged stone slab in the center of the shrine. A deep, guttural growl rumbled from somewhere unseen. The air turned suffocating. Then, a gust of wind exploded from the ruins, knocking Rowan and another man back. Leonard barely held his ground, shielding his eyes from the dust and debris swirling in the air. And Adrian saw it. The key. A small, intricately designed piece of silver metal, half-buried in the stone. He didn’t hesitate. He reached for it, wrapping his fingers around its cold surface. The moment he lifted it from its resting place, the wind died. The forest fell into an eerie silence.

“Good. Then you’ll come with me.” Kade wasn’t a kind man. He never pretended to be. He was ruthless, manipulative, and cold, but he gave me something I hadn’t thought I’d ever have again: purpose. Under his watch, I learned to fight, to lie, to manipulate. He trained me to be a weapon, sharpening me until I was nothing more than an extension of his will. And when I was ready, he told me about the Silver Blade. “It’s more than a weapon, Lila,” he had said, pacing before me. “It’s a key. With it, we can unlock power that has been hidden for centuries. And I’ll be damned if I let anyone else get their hands on it.”

She raised her empty hand, and light shone softly between her fingers. This time, when she raised her hand, it wasn’t moonstone, nor was it a bone. It was far more terrifying. A key appeared on her hand. A key that was carved from shadows and silver lights. Its shape was shifting as if it were trying to decide which part of reality it should exist in. “The dark lord, Lord Zeus, the first Alpha wolf, cannot rise and reign again without this.” She said, pointing at the key that she was holding high in her hand.

But it’s the small, heavy safe at the bottom that catches my attention. My breath hitches. Bingo. I crouch down, fingers trailing over the cold metal. No visible keypad, just an old-fashioned lock. That means there’s a key somewhere. I glance around, rising to my feet, my fingers grazing over the nightstand, the desk, searching. Then I see it. A glint of silver in the first drawer of his mirror. So Reckless and careless despite being the Alpha King. I pluck the key off the drawer and kneel before the safe again, sliding it into the lock.

he growled. The rouge in the black cloak laughs sardonically. “Oh, you can’t kill me, alpha. I’m the key to your heir’s life…” the rouge smiled wickedly, and a small bottle appeared in front of him at some point. “Does it ring a bell, alpha?” Drake and Beta Dillon look disappointed. “How dare you!” Drake growled.

"You already know the powers I have and have seen the firsthand. You know I'm not lying." "As a matter of fact, no, I'm not…tell us then. Where is the madellion?" I hesitated for a moment, taking a deep breath before revealing the information. "It's hidden in a secret chamber beneath the old ruins, guarded by powerful enchantments. You'll need this key." I handed Leo a small, ornate key that I had taken from my father's study earlier that day. It was a replica to an original that opened the book to my dad's suitcase. Thank goodness it looked fancy and cryptic.

“Kaya…where did you get this?” “One of the missing kids was found and she said Milo gave her this. Turn it around. Do you know what that means?” He nodded. “Golden Blade.”
