The Coming Novels & Stories

Frozen in fear were the soldiers. Bastion spoke up. “I welcome you all to this most important meeting of all of our time. We come today to witness the ascension of the Coming Sun and the unity of our Kingdom. Thank you for coming. It has been an honor to lead those that I have. It has been a benefit to lead with other species to have a measure of peace. We have all benefited from the end of the war.”

But both of them knew— Something was coming. And this time— It wouldn’t be a message. It would be face to face.

Two words that are going to flip our world upside down. He’s coming. He’s coming. He’s coming. I know what that means. I know damn well now what Byron told Arrick. That doesn’t stop me from asking my next question. “Who is coming and where?” His smile tells me he knows I already know. Tells me he’s enjoying this. I’m not even using my aura anymore. He’s all too happy to tell me everything. Every. Fucking. Thing. Because he knows it’s going to rock me. Destroy me. “Arrick is coming for you, Raina. And he’ll be here before you know it.”

“By sunset, we’ll have an announcement to give.” It looked like a war was coming. And I… I would be ready—For whatever came next.

And now, finally, all the pieces are falling into place. Luna Eclipse has no idea what's coming. None of them do. But they will. Very soon.

I placed the nail perfectly against the board reaching behind me taking the hammer from Victor's outstretched hand. "When will you be returning north?" Victor asked as I tapped the nail into the board. "Probably after the killing has ended" I confessed dreading the return back north since it was like returning to my problems. Patience was also doing much better here, for the night we've slept side by side, she hasn't woken up once from a night terror. Patsy and the others were also treated more fairly here, it was like we were all in a bubble of serenity.

However, we're not allowed to post the rest due to restrictions. What came to mind was a pale-faced Jason bringing me some bubble tea drinks from that famous tea-based drink place. I could not bear to see him that way, so I gave him some medication. As it turned out, he was unwell not because he had a heat stroke while queuing to buy me boba, but because he had jumped into the sea to save Sylvie's life. Even his attempts at repenting and making up to me involved her. I called Jason. This time, I heard Jason's ecstatic voice after only the first bar of 'Wedding March'. "Lauren! I've been waiting ages for you to call me! What's wrong? I'll come right over now."

Saintvelle, Lurevia. "Reine, call Elyna. Now!" That line hit like a jolt. I was reborn. I grabbed my phone and dialed without blinking. Cedric was flushed, eyes hazy and burning. That look had wrecked me last time. Not again. I avoided his gaze and dipped out fast. "She'll be here in ten," I said, already halfway out the door. Behind me, he growled something—sounded like my name.

The arena with the fighting pit erupted in thunderous cheers. A host shouted excitedly into his microphone, "Tonight's show will be the most unprecedented fight in our arena's history! In the past, challengers have faced rhinos and wild boars… "But our challenger tonight will take on the king of the beasts—a lion! Let's give a round of applause for tonight's fighter, Wilson Quill!" The crowd went wild with deafening applause as the host's words fell. They cheered and roared with excitement.

Eleanor and I are talking about some random stuff when Greg walks towards our table. He gently bows down as soon as he arrived at our table then he speaks. "Your highness, the feeding program for today has been postponed due to his Majesty, King Atticus. King Atticus will arrive here in New York tomorrow. That is why the head of the organization decided to postpone the feeding program for tomorrow." Greg said. I gently looked at Eleanor who was eating her pasta I can sense that she didn't hear anything of what Greg said. I looked at Greg and gently smiled at him.
