Novel & Cerita Rite Of Ascension

After a second or so I thought, her gasp could be heard. What is it? "It's an invitation for the Crystal Moon Event.Zion, it's important as well!" Sage exclaimed. Crystal Moon Event.The ridiculous event where I battled death and none of my family questioned for once what had happened.They were after all busy catering Zion, as always. "This time there's a strict rule to only show up with partners.No extras allowed.We have four passes but all torn into two which makes it eight" Sage's voice rings in. How funny of her.I roll my eyes before walking away.Used my brain for nothing.

An intense burning sensation spread through my veins, making me writhe in agony. Viktor observed with a cold satisfaction. "You see, Selene, we've enhanced our little mixture. It's a blend of ancient rituals and modern science, designed to bring out the primal power within you." I gasped, feeling an uncontrollable surge of energy coursing through me. My vision blurred, and I struggled against the restraints as a feral instinct took over. "What have you done to me?" I growled, my voice now laced with an animalistic edge.

With heads bowed and hearts united, Jeff, Liya, Whizz, and Simon gathered in a circle, their hands joined together in a tight grip. The air was filled with a sense of urgency, but also a deep sense of hope. They closed their eyes, shutting out the world around them, and began to pray. Jeff's voice, strong and unwavering, broke the silence. "Dear God, we come before you in this moment of need. We lift up Abigail and Samuel to you, knowing that you hold them in the palm of your hand. We ask for your protection, your guidance, and your strength as we embark on this mission to bring them back."

" A chill ran down my spine. I finally understood why the women who were sent to the divine tree always returned to the village in a daze. They didn't participate in a ceremony that was meant to appease a god. Instead, they were sexually assaulted by this gang of beasts! I struggled wildly, but the concoction had stripped me of my strength. My resistance was basically nonexistent to them. "Get away from me!" Isaac grabbed my chin with his callused hand. He licked his chapped lips before saying, "Drop the act. You've been looking forward to this, haven't you? You were moving so enthusiastically in the hall earlier. No one will believe you even if you pretend to be chaste now."

Blood dyed the entire mountain red before everyone around me could realize what had happened. As the ceremony began, I appeared before the Gate to Heaven, staring coldly at the lively scene above. Step by step, I ascended the mountain peak. The stone stairs beneath my feet crumbled into dust with each step I took.

“It’s… us. We were meant to find each other. Always.” Her voice caught, barely audible. “I… I feel it too. I’ve always felt it, even before I knew what it meant. But now… now I know.” The Ascension ceremony began as the first light of dawn kissed the treetops. Wolves of the Moon Rocks Pack gathered in the main glade, rows of warriors and council members forming a perfect semi-circle around the ceremonial pit. The air was thick with anticipation and ritual, yet for Lyra and Oscar, it might as well have been just the two of them. The connection pulsed between them, Cinder and Solstice screaming in ecstatic unison, guiding, urging, affirming.

I opened it slowly, the cloth crackling faintly. Inside was a brittle piece of parchment. Symbols I didn’t recognize filled the center that looked twisted and deliberate. Almost like they were moving if you stared too long. At the bottom, just one word was written in faded ink. ‘Ascension.’ I stared at it. My voice was thin. “What is this?” “The entrance to the true archives,” Letha murmured. “The one no fire can burn. The one guarded by blood oaths and shadows. They keep everything there—the original records, the failed vessels, and the prophecies...”

Another click. "Site Three, Neutral Ground near Council Headquarters: This is the critical find. Ashcroft maintained a personal archive here. Financial records showing payments to Covenant operatives. Lists of targeted divine wolves, including several who are currently listed as missing or dead from 'rogue attacks.'" Morgan's expression is grim. "And a ledger detailing his ultimate goal: harvesting enough divine blood to perform what he calls 'The Ascension Ritual'—an attempt to achieve godhood by consuming concentrated divine essence." Silence falls over the room.

I search through the contacts, looking for Ethan's contact. 'What can you tell me about Rapture?' I text him. I watch as the three dots appear on the screen showing that he's typing. 'The rapture is an eschatological theological position held by some Christians, particularly within branches of American evangelicalism, consisting of an end-time event when all Christian believers who are alive, along with resurrected believers, will rise in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air. -Wikipedia. I roll my eyes at his response. 'Arse.' I think to myself.

“Sure. But this will be the last thing I handle within my responsibilities.” He knew exactly what I meant. Approve my resignation, and I’d solve the problem. Refuse, and there was nothing to discuss. “Fine. Lily, you’re really something.” He agreed through gritted teeth. Once I got his answer, I turned and walked toward the tech department. The issue at Apex Technology was complicated. A mistake in the underlying code had triggered a crash in the chain system.
