Shadowed Thrones Novels & Stories

POV DARLENE The Loom of the Fourteen Thrones was not a hall of stone or gold; it was a cathedral of suspended history, where the air itself was woven from the dying breaths of every Alpha who had ever chosen "Order" over "Love".

One bore the unmistakable crest of House Blackwood, and though my hand twitched toward it, I didn’t reach. It didn’t feel like mine to touch.

The key slid inside easily with a metallic groan. Beyond the gate, the air changed. Heavier. Charged. Shelves warped with age, scrolls bound in wolf hide, tomes inked in ancient bloodline dialects. There was something dark that pulled her inside. Her fingers trembled as she scanned the shelves until one title pulsed in the low firelight. "Prophecies of the Shattered Thrones." She opened it carefully. The parchment crackled. And there it was. A single passage written in red... "When the flame returns, crowned or chained, she shall awaken the power of her bloodline and bring the tyrant to his knees. She who bears the mark shall bind or break the cursed throne."

The drive into the heart of downtown felt like a long, slow march to the gallows. The morning sky was a dreary, bruised grey, a light drizzle coating the windshield of my ten-year-old Honda. The windshield wipers clicked in a steady, monotonous rhythm, sounding terrifyingly like a clock ticking down to an execution. My knuckles were white as I gripped the worn leather of the steering wheel. My palms were sweating so heavily that my hands kept slipping off the plastic.

Lucky there’s nothing deep needing stitches. In my grieving and broken state, I begin to feel faint. I let myself go and pass out. Opening my eyes I feel myself transported into another realm. Standing in front of me is my grandmother’s house which stands in front of a looming property which I dare not go near. The “LeFleur” mansion.

" He commented at her always neat, serene and beautifully furnished apartment, "Whatever, but thanks though." She smirked taking the grocery bags from him and headed to her kitchen. "Would you want something to eat or drink?" She asked him, "No, We're going out soon and definitely going to have brunch first." He said, She nodded and got herself a glass of water. After whiling away their time snuggling and cuddling each other not exempting some hot kisses and magical moments, Jake and Jacklyn finally left a few minutes after twelve. The Trojan Horses were having their first Spring game against the Black Mamba and Jake wouldn't want to miss it.

“Hey. Look at me.” I did. His presence anchored me—but the pull didn’t stop. One of the Thrones glowed brighter than the rest. Different. Older. Its markings were fractured, incomplete, as if it had once been destroyed and rebuilt poorly. “That one,” Kaelith breathed. “That’s new.” Ashael’s expression hardened. “No,” it said. “That is repaired.” The Absolute the Old Standard intended to crown. It wasn’t empty. A shadow sat within it—unformed, restless, waiting for a body strong enough to survive it.

“Of those who tried to take what was not theirs.” The shadows screeched and surged forward. Vame moved like a whisper, flickering through the creatures, dispersing them with an unseen force. Where they passed, the figures withered, their forms unraveling into nothingness. Then, as suddenly as they had appeared, the shadows fled, vanishing back into the canyon walls. A heavy silence followed. Bram exhaled. “I don’t like this.” Myrra rubbed her arms, shivering. “I liked it better when the throne was just a stupid chair.”

Restricted Archives. The sign should have been enough to stop me.It wasn’t.I descended. The temperature dropped with every step, until the air itself felt sealed away from the rest of the world. At the bottom, a single table sat beneath a flickering torch, covered in books that looked older than anything I had ever seen. One title stood out. The Fall of the Shadow Queens. My breath slowed as I opened it.The pages were fragile, the ink faded but still legible.Illustrations showed figures surrounded by living darkness, not casting shadows but commanding them as extensions of themselves.

Even if a warrior used all his strength, he could only see things within ten meters around him. Darkness had descended. In the endless horrible darkness, 880 golden thrones were the only things shining brightly between heaven and earth.
