Opening Lines Of The Odyssey Novels & Stories

The Keeper’s Journey Dawn spread slowly across the horizon, soft and pale after the crimson night. The world felt newly washed, the air heavy with salt and promise. Liora walked barefoot along the wet sand, the hem of her white dress trailing behind her like mist. Each step left a faint golden print that glowed for a heartbeat before fading away.

"Get the sail down unless you want your guts tying the masts!" The sun was peeking from the ocean when Lloyd and Nathaniel returned. The first bloody lines trailed across the water like ivy, bleeding into the water and penetrating as deep as they could into the depths. The mist rose silently as soon as Lloyd's feet hit the deck and the gangplank was pulled in. He let out a sigh of relief, his eyes making out twisted fingers, the claws itching for the feel of flesh.

My hips buck at the intrusion, and I find myself screaming Osiris's name. My eyes begin to flutter open. I am desperate to see what is unfolding around me. "Eyes closed," Osiris growls at me, and I let out a little whimper.

The lights in the ship flickered on and off and the stars surrounding us morphed into swirling streaks of dots. Kael turned to me, flashing me a wide grin. “This is it,” he growled as he tilted the throttle forward. “BRACE YOURSELF!” The Odyssey lunged forward, zooming through space, past the drones, heading straight for the center of the flickering wormhole. Our attackers gave chase, their blasters firing at us relentlessly. Their blasts flew past us and I laughed. We really were going to make it.
