Novel & Cerita Tears Of Gold Book

Silent tears rolled down my face. Why? Why couldn't I just have a normal family and a happy life? I never wanted to hurt anyone. I never even got involved with the things they did. But maybe I wasn't innocent either. The money that was used to raise me was dirty, stained with blood and tears. No matter how much I tried to deny it, I couldn't escape payback forever. I just never thought the price would be my own family trying to kill me. When Neil saw me crying, his whole face darkened with fury.

“The silverware is four generations old and she counts it.” “Ellie.” “There will be a moment,” she said, and this was the thing she’d been building toward, the actual fear dressed up as logistics, “where she looks at you the way she looks at grant proposals. Like she’s reading the fine print.” He was quiet for a moment. He picked up the plane again, not to use it but just to hold, which she recognized as a thing he did when he was thinking seriously. “That’s fine,” he said. “Let her look.”

Lyralei demanded, wishing desperately for a mirror so she could see what they were seeing. "They're glowing," the golden haired one said, studying her like she was some kind of experiment he wanted to dissect. "Gold. Your eyes are gold." Lyralei felt panic spike through her confusion, sharp and cold. "What? Why in the Moon Goddess's name are my eyes gold?”

I hope that our little run-in didn’t run Sapphire off. Besides class, my gem has more or less avoided me. Karli has tried talking to me a few times since, but that should stop now. I ripped into her yesterday. I even made her cry, which I don’t feel bad about. She had it coming. If it weren’t for our class, I don’t think I would even see Sapphire. I smirk when I walk into the library. I see a head of blue hair hiding in one of the corners. I nod at a few people I know studying here as I approach her. The entire area in front of her is covered in books and papers. I pull the chair beside her, ensuring the feet scrape against the floor. Her face jerks up as our eyes meet.

I watch her walk away and feel my heart start to break all over again. I close the door shut and fall on my knees. I take big gulps of air but it’s not enough. I take more air in but I can’t breathe. Tears fall from my face as my heart breaks over and over again. I wail out loud unable to control it. Why did this have to happen? “Leo?” I hear Golden’s voice on the other side of the door. I try to stop the tears but the more I try to fight the harder they fall. The more I try to stop the wailing the louder I become.

Saeris exhaled a breath she hadn't realized she'd been holding and forced herself deeper, past the crimson rot, past the beast's watchful presence, down to where the thread split, one half leading to that thing, the other half leading to him. And there, at the split, buried so deep she almost missed it— Was gold. Oh, thank the Saints. She grabbed it, whatever metaphysical bullshit Binders did when touching things that shouldn't exist, and pulled, coaxing the gold forward, spreading it outward like light through dark water, weaving it around the rotting sections until gold and crimson tangled and the darkness started to retreat. Slowly. So slowly. Then—faster. The gold caught like fire on dry

His skin was grey, covered in a thick layer of dust and dried gore. But his eyes... they were open. And they were glowing a fierce, predatory gold. He was using his bare teeth to gnaw on a piece of obsidian, trying to widen the gap. When he saw me, he froze. The golden light in his eyes flickered, and for a second, the man returned. The "God of War" looked at me through the crack in the rocks, and a single, crystalline tear tracked through the dust on his cheek. "Elara," he croaked, the sound like two stones grinding together.

“Isolde’s powers… whatever they are… are waking up. Sir, she caused a complete power failure in the east wing. Lights exploded above her. The residual readings—” “We don’t speak of readings here.” Ronen’s voice cut like a blade. “Continue.” “She touched a switch and the spark wasn’t blue,” the teacher whispered. “It was… gold.” The room fell silent. Gold. Even speaking the color felt forbidden. Gold belonged to the Bloodseer. Gold belonged to the night every pack learned to fear. Gold belonged to the girl who burned herself into light and tore the Shadow King out of existence. Gold belonged to Rain. Not to a stranger. Not to a Redwood student.

I was so mad. I don't know where that madness was coming from. But I feel so heavy that I feel like I might shrink under the ground. I wanted to shed a tear, but nothing is coming out. I wanted to burst into tears, but there was something inside me saying NO! A single tear is not worth it to give to this woman. Raven got near me, and she held my hands while the old woman was shaking in tears.

It was impossible for me to read them all. I looked outside again. The sky was starting to darken. I should go back before it gets darker. As I moved to pick up my bag from the table, the corner of my eye caught something. A book on the bottom row of the shelf looked different from the thick gray-covered books. It was a pale yellow book with golden curvy writing on the side. I crouched down, took the book, and read the title. MYSTERIES OF GOLDEN VALLEY THROUGH THE AGES
