Thane Krios 소설 & 이야기

The Swarm crashed against the temple. The noise was like a billion knives scraping glass. The entropic dust began to seep through the cracks of the diamond walls. Elara stood at the entrance, her salt-spear glowing with intense heat, while Leo scrambled to connect with the ancient technology. "I need an Alpha-key!" Leo shouted. "Kael, your blood! It's the only thing the crystal recognizes!" Kael walked to the central pedestal. He didn't use a needle; he bared his claws-his real claws, which had remained even after he returned to human form-and cut his palm. He pressed his bleeding hand against the diamond crystal.

“ Of course, the kraken is real. What are you talking about?” He raises his hand in mock surrender “ Well, I didn’t know that. But, since you’re telling me about it now, I’m all ears.” “ The kraken releases poisonous gas like most carnivorous trees, to kill insects that attack it. This gas, cyanide is released when the insects are about to feed. But, strangely, the kraken does not harm ants. It lets it feed on it and in return, the ants fight other insects that try to attack the tree. Isn’t that fascinating?”

Even my father had once called crossbreeds "the diseased creatures that needed to die for the world to remain pure." "I'm so sorry. I didn't mean it like that. You look deathly pale. I swear no one knows." I felt gloved hands gripping mine tight and when I finally snapped out of whatever was wrong with me, Dahlia's pale grey eyes were staring back at mine. One thing about Krionas was that they needed to touch to See. The person, the object, touch helped them see. That's why they wore gloves around. "No one?" I whispered and she nodded but paused midway.

“So this is your last chance, Claire. Admit what you’ve been doing. Help me get Kade the treatment he needs. Or I take this to the elders and you face charges for poisoning an Alpha.” My mouth went dry. “You’re lying.” “Dreamroot derivative, moon orchid extract, and silver sage. Processed and sold as Qing’s Mist in the underground markets.” His voice was cold, factual. “Banned in three territories because of its addictive properties and psychological effects. But readily available in the old quarter for anyone willing to pay.” The ground seemed to tilt under my feet. He knew. He actually knew. “How…” I couldn’t finish the sentence.

I’ve still got my guard up around him. “So what’s up?” I breathe, pulling my legs in to cross them beneath me. Theo smirks, eyes flickering down to his crotch- I’m expecting him to make a crass joke, but he surprises me when he pivots and starts talking about the Denver hive, instead. “I was thinking about how high tech the security is here,” he says, bringing his arms up behind his head and reclining back on them. The hem of his shirt rides up and my eyes involuntarily fly to his abs.

Carson pointed to the screen. Elias chanted some curses before snapping the phone from Carson's hold. He zoomed in on the screen and muttered another curse again. "It's Knight." He clenched his jaw. "That fucking youngest lawyer of the town." KRYSIE can't count by hand how many drinks she consumed. Kaizer is trying to stop her but she just won't. The alcohol is sweet and it's fucking addicting, tho it's a traitor for it made her feel dizzy and sleepy.

’’ ---------- Someone’s been watching at the Hive the entirety of the time, a beast person that resembles the characteristics of ants and bees- long antennae swings atop of his head whenever he moves it, armored in bright yellow color plates, at his back is a pair of large buzzing wings. ‘’What they are doing is defiance against Viscor Mukha’s laws!’’ DEOS XVI- END

“Come here, son. The moment has finally come.” Kael stepped forward, tension in his limbs. The other scientists stood aside respectfully as he approached. Dr. Ganner opened a panel at the base of the device, revealing a smooth glass plate with a faint blue glow. “Place your palm here,” he instructed, grinning. “We’re configuring it to respond only to you.” Kael blinked. “Why me?” “Because,” Ganner said, almost cheerfully, “this—” he gestured at the towering device “—is made possible by you. The Kyrexin-X compound was developed using key essences from your blood. Do you remember all those samples we took when you were younger?”

A specimen. Thorne placed the case on a table and opened it. Nestled in custom foam were several vials of the familiar iridescent purple fluid – **PHOENIX PRIME - MASTER SEED STOCK** – and blocks of the crystalline stabilizer. Pure, concentrated. The *real* backup. Not a production batch. The source.
