Rising Sun Books Novels & Stories

This chapter captures the intensifying divisions among the gladiators, culminating in a heated confrontation between Alcides and Helios as they grapple with their conflicting visions for the future. The sun climbed higher in the sky, casting a harsh light on the ludus, where the clash of ideals among the gladiators had escalated into a physical confrontation between Alcides and Helios. Murmured words turned into heated exchanges, and soon, the air crackled with tension.

This time, she didn’t open her window and stared outside for a moment. The sun was already high up in the morning and she could feel her stomach was rumbling. She washed her face carefully, put up her hoodie, and grabbed her bow and quiver. When she arrived downstair, she felt people’s gazes on her back. But then, she ignored it all and went to sit alone. Not too long, the same woman greeted her and offered her to eat their special breakfast menu. After waiting again for some minutes, the one who served the food was not that woman, but instead, it was her husband.

Killi sighs and says, “You know what? I’m in. If the pack leaders don’t want to save the day on this one, then the three of us will just have to.” I grin and I look between the both of them. For once, I feel like I have friends, like someone can stand me. My teeth sink into my bottom lip as Riven gets to his feet, the muscles in his biceps flex as he presses his palms into the earth to steady himself. For once, I might have something more. The sun is rising overhead when Killi and I gather outside of Riven’s cabin. No one has shuffled out of their cabin yet, eager to go on this morning’s hunt to gather some food for a couple of days.

His gaze went past me and up toward the horizon and his grin shifted into an all out smile. I turned my head from him to see a golden ball of fire rising up over the dark blue water. The sky was awash in blues, pinks, golds, and oranges that stole my breath away. It was possibly the most stunning sunrise I had ever seen. I glanced over at him again. The sunlight was bathing him in total glory, accenting the strength of his cheekbones and the golds in his hair. His shoulders were relaxed as he soaked in the morning light, absorbing it's radiance. His smile was almost brighter than the sun and just as beautiful. When he smiled, it was better than the sun coming up. It made my heart beat faster

Samuel leaned back in his chair, his thoughts drifting to the support he had received and the challenges he had overcome. The sun's gentle rays streamed through the windows, casting a warm glow in the room. Liya and Whizz entered, their faces bright with hope. "Good morning, Samuel!" Liya greeted cheerfully. Samuel managed a smile, grateful for their presence. "Morning, Liya. Whizz." With careful movements, they helped Samuel stand up and supported him as he made his way to the sitting room. Each step was a triumph. Liya's encouraging words and Whizz's steady hand gave him the strength he needed.

Parang may maliit na bagay na nakaipit dito. Out of curiosity, agad ko ng kinuha ang librong 'yon mula sa shelf then dusted it off. "'Where the sun doesn't shine' by Marvens Jeff Bonhomme..?" I couldn't help but shook my head just reading the title at the cover page. This hardbounded black book was no doubt a novel, an old novel kaya ba't naman nandito ito? Was Mr. Romero also interested with this piece of crap? With disgust glare at that book, kinuha ko na lamang yong papel na nakaipit dito and then put that book back to the shelf.

Although, he would never know that. My heart still ached at the thought when I woke up. The sun was already rising as I held the cup of coffee while watching it rise from my unit. I am a lover of sunrise and I am a morning person. I would never start a day without looking at the run rises wherever I am. And, a cup of coffee will also make my day. Although, I am feeling lazy today. What? Am I broken? “Okay. It’s another day.” I whispered to myself. “Why am I getting sad over him?”

A minute passed, then two, then, one by one, the assault team came out of the house, most likely declaring the house secured. Joseph wasn’t sure, what with the distance and the enemy covered in combat suits, but all of them looked a little relaxed after. The perimeter team still stood guard but it looked as if their air of violence stepped down a notch. The assault teams left their formation and were wandering randomly about. He knew this was the right time to strike. Some philosopher of war or some such who lived a few hundred years ago, would have approved of this timing were it not for the fact that Joseph would be killing one of his descendants. To attack the enemy when and where they le

"You mean this fire?" Hexia's eyes grew wide, shocked and confused that I had fused light and dark magic into one creating a new type of magic. I've done some other magic with the two types, but my theory would not work. A combination of inheriting the fox fire from my father and my mother's light magic can create one I call Solar.

My heart leaped and I happily hugged her. “How are you my baby?” She kissed my temple. “I’m doing fine Mom. I missed you so much.” I hugged her tighter. “No! You’re squishing Sunny!” She said and gently pushed me away. “How’s baby?” “She’s doing great.” We sat down and talked more about Sunny and the shop. “By the way, Zen’s coming over. He said that he wanted you to try his new creation.” My eyes sparkled in excitement. “Really?” “Yes. Thanks to him our business boomed so much because of his cakes.”
