Tartaglia X Aether Novels & Stories

“For Elyra.” The Starless relic’s core surges from crystal depths, claws of shadow slashing, eyes hollow voids, hum rattling bone. Its crystalline heart pulses, shadow-coils writhing within, screech splitting stone. Veyra corners Taryn, blade slashing, grazing her arm, blood spilling. “Name the master!” Taryn’s twin-star eyes glint cold, jagged runes on her blade dull, hymn grating. Her voice cracks, low. “The Starless… it’s all.” Her eyes flicker, pain surfacing, hymn faltering. Kalia’s orb flares, aura steady, eyes distant, a vision seizing her—the Starless relic’s core, crystalline, tied to her orb, its light the seal. “Aelys!” she gasps, fingers tightening, voice urgent. “It’s now!” I sh

Just slightly. “Then we finish this,” I said. “Together.” Lorenzo’s jaw clenched. He nodded once. A temporary alliance. One forged in blood, loss, and rage. Valerie took a step forward, her eyes blazing. “Xavier,” she whispered, “she’s here...” The sky split. Lisa descended. And the war began.

I stand and wait until they reach me. “He is the one we were sent to retrieve,” Megaera states, as she moves her hand towards my neck. Taking the medallion Olwyn gave me in her hands and taking it off. “I wonder what makes him so special, “ she drawls. “He was murdered, as so many others in love and war,” Tisiphone states. “His soul doomed to roam the plains for all eternity as it is not set free. But yet he is different. He wears the Thalassa Aetheria, it has been centuries since that has been worn by a mortal, Allecto almost sneers.

The balcony cracked beneath us from the force of two ancient powers warring inside one body. "The entity is too strong!" Ria's voice came from the doorway where she stood with Elena and Iris. "If Aria loses this fight, that thing will consume her completely and use her Luna bloodline as a weapon!" "There has to be something we can do!" Zack roared, his desperation bleeding through our bond. "There is." Drake's expression hardened with terrible resolve. "But you are not going to like it." He moved before anyone could stop him, stepping directly into the maelstrom of energy surrounding me. The silver-black power tore at him, shredding his skin, but he pushed through until he reached me.

At that, a call from an unknown number enters my mobile. -Tell me? -Lailah?- says a familiar voice on the other line. In the background, I can hear glass breaking.- I'm Scott. I need you to come to my apartment now. He seems alarmed. -What? Why? Scott? -It's Azael. -He says worriedly. An object falling to the ground and an incoherent babbling can be heard behind his voice.- He has arrived drunk and has started breaking things and it is not that I have enough money to renew furniture, also he has already damaged my car and that already are many expenses.

she requested. Darius looked at her and saw a true leader in her. "I appreciate your efforts Lady Tina, I accept your peace offering. I will come and fetch my mate now" he declared. "Of course" Lady Tina agreed gladly. "Lucifer, can you open a portal to retrieve Thea from there?" Darius asked Lucifer. "Yes, I can. Now we know her location, it's easy to open a portal" he replied and immediately closed his eyes to chant for the spells to open a portal.

Nicki crinkled her nose, “Besides; tall, dark, and handsome isn’t interested in me. He’s fire and I’m ice, we just don’t mix well.” “Mhm.” Tyra nodded slowly, not at all convinced. “Rae’s most powerful element is fire, and Atlas is the High Lord of the Water court. If anyone can attest to the fact that opposites attract, its them.” Nicki stuck her tongue out in Tyra’s direction when she was pulled away by none other than Micah. He gave me a warm smile and promised to catch up shortly. As the two walked away, his hand hovering on her lower back, something almost wistful crossed Nicki’s eyes.

said the boy, who cleared his throat to hide his little discomfort. — “Lathgertha,” she replied, smiling. What about you, soup meat? — "Ragnar," the boy replied with an enchanting smile. But my friends call me the Turtle of the Gods. I think it's obvious, he continued, laughing out loud and glancing at her bump. Lathgertha also giggled. They stopped laughing when Ragnar put his hand on her still aching stomach. Lathgertha asked him: — Do you know where we are?

Without another word, he took off down a tunnel. The rest of the warriors followed; we came to a large room. In the middle stood a huge statue of Alpha Karn. Alpha Draven sniffed the air once again. Without warning, he took off down another tunnel. We all followed trying to keep up. We reached a huge door made of steel. Alpha Draven sniffed underneath it. Without warning, he threw himself against the door. His Alpha strength allowing him to bend the door. When it finally crashed to the ground, the sight inside made me want to be sick. Aura was tied to the bed nude, her body lifeless.

Tangerine and Uno were quickly surrounded. One of the dark figures stepped forward, revealing himself to be Ethero. "You thought you could defeat me, Tangerine, but you were wrong," he sneered. Tangerine clenched her fists, determined not to let Ethero win. She knew that she had to protect her coven and her husband, no matter what. Uno stepped forward, ready to defend Tangerine. "We will never let you win, Ethero," he said, his voice steady. Ethero laughed. "You are both fools," he said. "You think that love can conquer all, but you are wrong. Power is the only thing that matters, and I have more power than you could ever imagine."
