Rivendell Novels & Stories

The only light comes from a single candle in the corner. And beside it, sitting cross‑legged, her hair streaked with red and black, her face older and tired but unmistakable, Delaney. Raven’s mother. She turns toward me slowly, eyes full of sorrow. “You should have listened to my warnings,” she says softly. “You should have stayed with Raven.” My throat tightens. “Delaney… where am I?” Delaney’s eyes stay fixed on the candle flame, her voice barely above a whisper. “You need to find a way out,” she says. “The Hallow will come soon. And when it does… it will take from you.”

Chapter 23: First Steps in Shadow Ten days after her rescue, Raven stood in the deepest training chamber beneath Castle Valros. The room was carved from living obsidian—walls smooth and black, absorbing light rather than reflecting it. Floating orbs of violet flame drifted near the ceiling, casting a cold, steady glow that never wavered. No windows. No echoes. Only the faint vibration of distant castle life filtering through stone, and the soft rustle of Victoria’s cloak as she moved to stand beside her.

He handed me a small piece of parchment. My fingers trembled as I unfolded it. I read the first line. Then the second. My breath caught. Riven watched me. “What does it say?” I looked up. “Kael isn't at the main Council Citadel.” “Where is he?” I looked back at the parchment. “He's being held somewhere called Blackstone Keep.” Riven's face changed. “Blackstone?” “You know it?” “Yes.” “What is it?” His voice became quiet. “A fortress beneath the Council's territory.”

Every flick of his tongue was a claim, a mark on my soul. "Dominic, please," I whimpered. He didn't slow down. He used his fingers to stretch me, his other hand pinning my wrists above my head. I bit my lip to keep from screaming as the first wave of pleasure hit me, a violent, crashing release. Just as I felt my voice breaking, his hand clamped over my mouth, muffling my cry. "I've got you," he whispered against my skin. "I've always had you." The Ravenfall territory was a sprawling expanse of dense forest and rugged mountains. The "Chateau" wasn't a castle; it was a massive, modern fortress of glass and stone perched on a cliffside.

Running so fast, the trees were almost a blur. She looked down to see the green grass beneath her paws, the soft dewy spikes teasing. Serena came to a halt at the edge of the lake, peering through her wolf’s eyes at the image that formed in the water body. A beautiful raven wolf stood there proudly, body larger than normal wolves and Serena knew that it was larger than the werewolf’s one too but who cares, at least she doesn’t. She sometimes believed that it was probably due to the fact that the moon goddess understood her desire to never be with a male and made her strong enough to go against one. If only she knew.

It was a pathetic and undeniable craven existence but it was how they were winning the war. Dave let out a sigh. "No. He used a HG blade." I nodded. A brilliant man named Henry Gomez spent his life developing a UV spiked, but essentially silver based liquid that could be applied to any metallic object, leaving a coat of active poison that would kill both shade and host upon entering the their shared body. Something in perfectly balanced formula temporarily imprisoned the shade and as long as the wounds you inflicted on the human were mortal, the shade shared the same fate. The HG liquid had become as precious to us as light bulbs. It was hard to come by at the best of times, especially out h

"I don't really know but we'd figure this out, she is ours and deep down within she does, she just has to" The drive continued in silence for awhile, nothing to illuminate the road but their headlights and the moon, the town was silent, seemed like the last place you'd expect something damned good to come from. Second thoughts ran through their minds for awhile until they felt it The damn earth rumbling and rippling with so much magic energy it caused their their senses to overload "Damn right fucking place" Darren said through gritted teeth.

" I know where to find your cousin now." "Where?" Cassandra looked up with a burst of hope. "North of the World Beyond." "At the Ardrélin Valley, my lady?" Owlyn asked. "No," she said. "The Chaotic Zone."

she turned wildly on the spot, frantically looking around “W-where Lena! Where!” Lena gently grasped her arms “Calm down Dawnie”, she said “the Green Man is a forest god which means he will be in some place like a park or a forest or….” she trailed off, her brown eyes drifting towards the orchard that they’d parked across from “Oh, that’s clever”, she breathed, staring at the name: Viridios. Dawn followed her gaze “They wouldn’t be so brazen”, she remarked.

After searching for him everywhere, Kayla finally found her boo. He was seated downstairs, in the smallest and cosy living area of the mansion. They hardly used that living room and only came there for some alone time. The living room had a glass window which enabled one to see the beautiful view of the backyard.
