Sound Powers Novels & Stories

When the two heard the voice, they instantly knew that it was a master that had come knocking. The roar was similar to that of a lion, filled with powerful inner energy. It made the eardrums of the people who had heard it swell and pain. A buzzing filled their mind. Their eyes seemed to see stars. “Roar!!!” Wesley stomped his foot fiercely, and a roar that sounded like a broken gong echoed out. It was also infused with strong inner energy to offset the physical discomfort caused by the last roar and defuse the inner energy attached to it.

Sometimes— it watches. It waits. And when it finally moves…

Reinforced iron screams against ancient stone as I shove the door open with a crack. The sound ricochets through the corridor, an ugly sound that I soak in. Ozone coats my throat, the same metallic bite that fills the atmosphere moments before lightning rips the sky apart. Fitting. As I cross the threshold carefully contained power pulses across the floor and up through walls, this hub is me; my mood, energy and right now it appreciates the annihilation on my tongue.

The equation-spectacles cycled through modes so rapidly that they produced a visible strobe effect, casting flickering mathematical shadows on the crystallized walls. "THE ACCUMULATED PRINCIPAL," the Auditor reported, its pen scratching against probability-paper at inhuman speed, "IS THE ORIGINAL RESONANCE ENERGY OF THE FIGURE'S VOICE AT THE MOMENT OF SEPARATION. APPROXIMATELY FOURTEEN POINT THREE EXAJOULES OF PURE CREATIVE HARMONIC ENERGY." "That does not sound catastrophic," Ben said through the comm.

Large, gut-wrenching sobs that stabbed straight to the heart. I didn't think. I moved. Enemies still circled him, weapons and claws raised and ready. Someone lunged, aiming for one final blow. Power exploded around me, in me, through me. A violent shockwave burst from my center, tearing through air and earth alike. The ground trembled beneath my feet. The air rippled visibly, bending like heat over asphalt. Bodies flew. Two dozen warriors were ripped backward as if struck by an invisible wall, slammed into dirt and stone, their weapons scattering like discarded toys. Silence followed.

It was a spell. ​A violent, invisible shockwave of sonic energy erupted from the tip of the bone staff. The sound wasn't loud in a traditional sense; it was a glass-shattering screech that bypassed the ears and tore straight into the minds of everyone present. Dozens of hardened Silver Ridge warriors dropped to their knees, clutching their ears as blood began to seep from their canals. ​The sonic screech blasted upward, a visible ripple in the night air that tore across the courtyard. It bypassed the frontline entirely, ignoring Marcus’s snapping jaws and the drawn swords of the elite guards. The force of the magic slammed directly into the upper levels of the keep.

They all cried out with worry. Dax was digging his own grave by fighting those elite disciples. Then again, things would not get better for them if they surrendered. Wooo. Suddenly, a tranquil and gentle sound of a piano came from the river bank not far away from them. Hum! The minute the piano was played, a powerful wave of energy diffused rapidly in the air and formed ripple corrugation! Dax, Yvette, and the others, including the elite disciples, changed their expressions drastically when they felt the strong surge of energy! They covered their ears as they could feel that the sound of the piano contained a strong rhythm of strength. Everyone felt dizzy and they were losing their balance!

Sounds strange yet similar to me. ‘Who are you?’ I asked that voice. [This is Me, your Power] [Listen to me, Seraphine. You have a power within you that you haven't fully realized. Use your positive emotions, your love for Cassian, and your determination to protect the ones you love. Focus your energy, and let me guide your steps.] [First, concentrate your energy. Your love for Cassian is the source of your strength. Feel that energy flowing through your body. Now, imagine his smile, envision the happy moments you've shared. Let that energy fill every fiber of your being.]

And from the ruins, a tidal wave of pure, undiluted power—his power—erupted into me. The world dissolved into a single, piercing tone. The flatline wasn't just a sound; it was a physical force, a blade severing the last fragile thread tethering me to reality. The bond in my chest didn't just break—it exploded. A silent, violent detonation of raw power.

"Channeling all non-essential power to the northern array! What am I broadcasting?" "THIS!" I yelled, holding Lina close to the comms pickup. Lina, fueled by the terror and the overwhelming energies clashing around her, let out another piercing, world-rejecting wail. The sound was captured, amplified, and fired from the city's defensive speakers as a focused sonic weapon, aimed directly at the shimmering, impossible structure outside the walls. The effect was instantaneous and catastrophic.
