Solitude Invisible Chest Novels & Stories

It read: Always to the side, even if you’re looking ahead It is only one colour; never yellow, orange, or red It can come in any size and any shape Try as you might, this you will not escape It neither lives nor dies, Neither runs nor flies, But of what it is made can do both. I frowned down at the riddle. “But what does this have to do with what’s inside the chest? If I work this out will it tell me what’s inside?” “Not quite,” smirked Dakota. “To open the chest you’ll need to find a key. The key is hidden somewhere between Wildflower Way and Wildflower Meadow. That riddle is your first clue,” she said, nodding down at the crumpled piece of paper in my hands.

⸻ Beyond the doors lay a vast circular chamber unlike any they had seen before. The ceiling rose so high it disappeared into darkness. Sunlight filtered down through a narrow opening far above, illuminating the center of the room. There stood a single cedar table. No throne. No treasure. No weapons. Only a table. Resting upon it was an old wooden chest. Smaller than Amelia expected. The First Guardian’s medallion around her neck suddenly grew warm. The chest responded. With a gentle click, its lock released. ⸻ Helena approached slowly.

Willa clutched the throne, shaking, then forced herself up. "Selene! Come out! What, too scared? Show yourself if you've got the guts!" She had no idea. I wasn't just rocking two Powers anymore. After munching on a few spoiled brats' cores, I unlocked a bonus—Invisibility. Had to check if my Powers even worked with her plot armor jamming everything, so I ghosted up and stepped in. Didn't expect her to whip out an AK and go full psycho. All that fear? Gone.

Shadows crept around the House of Solace like curious things, sniffing at doors, licking at the corners of curtains. She heard a creak behind her. Not the bed. Not the door. The floorboard at the base of her dresser. Where the chest lay hidden. She turned back. The latch gleamed in the moonlight, open. Not broken. Not forced. Simply...... undone. Her mouth went dry. The scent was stronger now. Not from outside. From within. She approached the chest slowly, barefoot. Each step silent, deliberate, as though she might wake something slumbering in the dark wood.

His body was tense as he adjusted to the complete darkness that surrounded him. He rose slowly, dusting off his coat, and glanced around the room. His eyes strained against the dim light filtering from above, and then, as if by instinct, they fell upon the chests lining the walls. They stood there like silent sentinels, waiting for him to uncover their secrets. Lucius couldn't help the surge of excitement that thrummed through his chest. This was it. The treasure he had been chasing, the one whispered about in his family for generations—was real.

Resting upon it was a small, jewel-encrusted chest. Luna approached the chest cautiously, her hands trembling with a mix of excitement and trepidation. She reached out and carefully opened the lid, revealing a shimmering orb pulsating with a soft, soothing light. The relic, known as the Heartstone, radiated an otherworldly energy that seemed to quell the darkness that loomed around them. Gently, Luna picked up the Heartstone, feeling its warmth resonating through her fingertips. She turned to the alpha and Amelia, her eyes filled with determination. "This might be our only chance," she said firmly. "We have to bring the Heartstone close to the creature."

"You're bringing in sentiment and that's not what we want! You want Onyx, don't you?" I nodded. "I really do but I don't want him touching her." She pulled me into her arms and cradled me. "Don't worry, honey. This is going to be over before you know it. Now, what we gave to do is drive back home and use this Elixir," I lifted my head up and saw a new bottle in her hand. This was filled with black powder. "What does this one do?" "Makes us invisible to our enemies. Only your father will see us."

At his back, Imuthis cheering him with a grin in his face. (I'll seriously slaughter you if something happens!) Reaching the middle of the dark cavern, the chest at the top of the table pillar is in his very front. The Chest is slightly clean, maybe the cleanest he has ever seen since he fell in that hole. Slowly stretching his right hand to the metal chest his hand slowly opens the silver chest. He tries to open it however it didn't budge. (Huh? This is weird. Hey, what are your thoughts about this?)

The house was completely devoid of personal belongings but a little exploration dug gold. She had pulled a part of the floor that looked skewed and she stared as a previously concealed chamber opened in the floor. Inside was a single chest. Her heart sped up and she glanced behind her warily, she was definitely not supposed to see this and he would not be happy if he found out she was snooping. She scoffed. As if she cared. Her ears ringing with warning, she knelt and unlatched the chest, hands tingling with anticipation. What secrets did her mate go to such lengths to hide?
