Romper El.circulo Novels & Stories

Just before I took his hand, I heard Roland through our bond. “Remember, they can’t enter unless you are dead, you must do it now.” Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed him extend a claw from his index finger, and slice away the ribbon from our hand fasting. A dull ache resonated through my chest, leaving a strange empty feeling behind as I accepted Eli’s hand, and allowed him to pull me through the circle.

Even if he thinks of the possibility of escaping this, it's already too late. He tightened his grip around the swaddler of the baby. He can’t lose her. The floor vibrates in a tremendous jolt but it was some energy that was keeping them stuck in the circle. Carmen was chanting each phrase like a sorceress. “It’s the time!” Carmen opened her eyes wide and blew some sand out of her hands. The floor beneath the circle disappeared into a pit and Elijah with his daughter fell into it. Carmen spelled another phrase and everything became silent like nothing happened.

Life said that he was accompanied by Loud and annoying laughter! "Hey I'm different, how does the Ring of Hold get triggered?" I asked Life, Nay Aurelia didn't even give a clue on how to release the Ring of Hold hayss. "It's simple, you just have to draw a circle on my forehead with your blood." Life said that's why I bit my index finger and made it bleed. When my index finger started to bleed, I rubbed it on Life's forehead and formed a circle... Suddenly it lit up dazzlingly and suddenly the circle shape I drew on Life's forehead floated and it grew and came in front of me...

Echo’s exclamation brought me back to earth as she walked over to me, her eyes glued to my body “Look at those fucking sexy curves you’ve been hiding!” I offered her a small smile “Guys are gonna drool all over you” she added and slapped my ass lightly before turning away to open the bottle of wine in her hand. “Remember I’m married Echo” I sounded at her back “Yea yea! Doesn’t stop you from having a good ass time” she answered, turning back to shove a precariously full wine glass into my hand “Drink up bitch! The party starts now!” ~ Echo called us an Uber and by the time we got to the club, I had a nice little buzz going from the half bottle of wine I polished off.

When he was still in his thoughts, his phone rang…it was from Hernan. “Say…” Armaan said. “One is down…do you want to get the second wicket down today or tomorrow,” Hernan asked. “Just hold for a while…it will not add fun…let her live in the fear…her each passing day should be a torment for her…find all secrets of her friends & family…before laying hands on her…let her hear the rhythm…” Armaan replied. “You are too cruel…what’s the point of getting them involved in this is?” Hernan replied.

Something in me snapped. “I don’t understand this logic!” I shouted, the words tearing out of my chest. “I don’t understand these rules, these claims, this endless cycle of punishment dressed up as order.” My hands shook as I gestured helplessly between us. “All I know is this: the Circle is broken. And I want it whole again.” My voice cracked. “I want Eryx back. I want the balance restored. And I want all of you to leave me the hell alone.”

"What if she has forgotten who she is?" Ayel closed his eyes for a moment. "Then we will remind her. We are her children..." The following silence was profound. They concentrated again. The three joined hands in the center of the circle, and the energy began to pulse once more. The floor around them trembled slightly. The air bent in on itself. And, for a brief moment, the impossible happened. In the center of the circle, a thin light, an almost invisible tear, opened. A fissure. "Concentrate!" Ayel shouted, the veins in his neck bulging. "Hold the focus, before it closes!"

Elara gestured to the stone circle, the menhirs towering silently around her. “Each element - earth, air, fire, and water - holds a unique resonance. Today, each of you will enter the circle, one by one, to see which element answers your call. Do not fear what you don’t understand. Let the magic guide you.” Elara’s gaze shifted toward a senior student named Aria, who stepped forward to demonstrate. She moved with practiced ease, positioning herself directly at the center of the four-pointed star etched into the ground. Her hands hung loosely at her sides as she closed her eyes, standing tall and poised in the exact center of the symbol.

His need. And something else. A name. “Elandir.” She whispered it without realizing. Her hand lifted to her chest. Not Kael. Not Elric. Elandir. The name echoed in her blood like a curse. Outside the sanctum, Elric and the Circle argued. Again. “She’s unstable,” one of the elders snapped. “We must sever the bond before he finds a way to manifest through her.” “And if severing it kills her?” Kael asked, barely keeping his voice controlled.

The force wasn’t painful, but it was overwhelming and heavy, like a truth she had no choice but to face. Outside the circle, Mason lurched forward, eyes wild with concern. Julian and Cecil followed suit, instantly alert. “Stop.” Orun raised a hand, his tone unwavering. “No matter what you see or hear… You must not break the circle. Not until it is complete. Do you understand?” Mason’s jaw clenched. Every muscle in his body screamed at him to run to her. But he nodded. “We understand,” the three said, their voices in reluctant unison.
