Precious Memories Temple Novels & Stories

The walls weren’t walls, they were memories, suspended like paintings. A younger version of herself ran past, laughing. Another version stood and screamed. Another fought. Then she saw one that made her freeze. It was her and Kaelen. But this memory never happened. They were older. Wiser. Holding hands as wolves circled them, cheering. A coronation. A life that might have been. She reached out. And the scene shattered. A voice whispered through the void: “You cannot walk a future that was never yours.” She pressed deeper. In the center of the temple stood a dais with a broken pillar. Floating above it: a star-shaped crystal, pulsing weakly.

"When the sun rises, you will go to the Temple of the Moon Goddess. You will find your true mate. Do not come here until the Goddess has answered you." The Temple of the Moon Goddess was the most scared thing of the five packs. On your twentieth birthday, the Goddess shows you a dream with your mate. "Yes Father, " I said, looking down and walking past him before he could change his mind. The whole night I couldn't sleep a wink, staring at the ceiling like a corpse. When the first ray of the sun entered my room, I got ready and headed straight to the Temple. The Temple of the Moon Goddess was a building, made of white stone and glass shining in the morning sun. It always smelled like jasmine

They reached their destination three days later, just as twilight began. The Temple stood tall on the side of a cliff. It was part of the mountain, but it also seemed separate from it. Its arches spiraled in unnatural geometry, impossible curves, and perfect angles that disoriented the eye. Runes glowed faintly along its foundation—sigils from no tongue known to Silver More. Jayden dismounted first, sniffing the air. “There’s something old here. Powerful. It doesn’t like us.” Aelin spoke calmly. "It won't matter. " She paused and looked at the Temple. "It’s waiting for me. "

"You'll see." The trip is quite short. We soon reach a red and gold Buddhist temple, with pots of trees on the stairway leading into the temple entrance. "Temple?" I wonder aloud, glancing out the window. "Zi Yan, do you remember? This place is where we first met." He anticipates for me to suddenly say that I have some sort of memory, but I slowly shake my head in guilt. I frown and rotate my eyes to the ground, "Sorry, Tenth Prince. I have no memories of it."

Ceres (stopping as the whispers grow louder): "Can you hear them? It's not just water. They're speaking... names. Stories. Prayers. All tangled together." Xavier (frowning): "One of them just said my mother's name. And yours. And... my grandfather's." Ceres (uneasy): "The river remembers what others tried to erase." The temple doors creak open on their own. A wave of heat and wind rushes out as if the building itself sighs awake. A glow radiates from within, lighting a narrow corridor. Xavier (drawing his blade): "Let's see what memory has to say to us." The Temple's Heart

In her hand, the Crownless Flame medallion throbbed with quiet urgency. She pressed it to the center of the seal. For a moment, nothing happened. Then—a breath, a sigh, a whisper from the mountain’s heart. The door slid open, weightless as thought. Inside, the temple did not greet her with grandeur, but with memory. The first chamber was a library, but it held no books. No scrolls. Instead—echoes. Glass panels lined the walls, each one holding a moment in light and color. When touched, they sang soft, harmonic chords that carried more than sound: emotion, memory, grief, and hope.

So, she “Let’s get down.” Malachi’s voice came, and she looked at him, making a surprised-questioning sound, “hun?!” “Are we getting down here?” She asked. “Yeah.” “This is Brook’s restaurant.” She reminded him. “I know.” “It is the biggest restaurant in the city.” She worded. “Everyone knows that.” He shook his head. “Thing are very expensive here.” She said. “I know. Let’s just get down.” “Okay.”
