The Dark Novels & Stories

It takes only a powerful witch to be able to conjure a soul from the underworld into a dead Lycan's body. No mere witch was capable of such a feat. One would have to trade his soul to the darkness to be able to perform such an act. And whosoever was at the dark side, was an enemy to the light, and the living. But this monster stood tall before me, eyes black like the abyss it had been awakened from. “All these for a maid?” I knew a fight stood before me, unbound by the shackles of death. I, on the other hand, had no time to waste. Strigurd was prepared for a bloodbath.

He reached out, and for a second, I thought he was going to touch my cheek, but he just picked up a shiny little bottle from the nightstand and started fiddling with it. Then, in a solemn tone, he said, "Natalie, what would happen if the pill stopped working?" "I'd be a goner," I said flatly. The Davis family called it the 'loyalty pill,' and a person had to take an antidote every month. If they did not, by the third day, it would feel as if ants were crawling through their bones; the pain would be so unbearable that it would drive anyone insane. A week later, death would follow.

“Elena. If this is suspicious, and it is, I am emotionally contractually obligated to be there so you don’t accidentally walk into your own downfall.” “That is not a real contract.” “It is in my heart.” I couldn’t help it and laughed. “Fine,” I said. “You can wait outside.” She narrowed her eyes. “Inside proximity is safer.” “Outside proximity is normal.” “Inside proximity is supportive.” “You’re just nosy.” “Also true.” By the time evening came, I felt even more uneasy.

A shiver ran down my spine at the thought of what would try to hunt us in the night. "We can hike for another hour, and that should get us far enough away from any other roads. Hopefully," I said, pursing my lips. That was another hard thing about the Dark realm. Not much was said about it because they didn't want us ever coming here. All the books ever talked about where the locations and the bad things that happened here. They never held any maps or even information to help guide you in the right direction. We were essentially blind, and if we lost our compass, we would be lost entirely.

For the first time in his life, his dark wolf had risen up in all its destructive glory, determined to do whatever it took to protect their mate. Razl had heard it said that a dark wolf could only fully awaken, embracing its total power, once it had found its true life mate. Like so many things in nature, the rule was meant to keep balance, since it was a dark wolf’s need for its mate that was meant to temper its savage, visceral aggression. However, the rule no longer applied when that aggression was being channeled toward someone who had threatened the wolf’s woman. In that event, all bets were off, and the threat was destroyed by any means necessary.

After all, Ned could only trust this man at the moment. Surveying his surroundings, Ned saw that the forest was dark and gloomy, without a single ray of light. The leaves on the trees were covered with sharp hooks that could pierce anyone who touched them. Ned realized that this was the Dark Forest described in the book. This was the territory of the Dark Elves, who possessed the power of darkness and used it to oppose the light. The man noticed Ned's expression and knew exactly what he was thinking. He had telepathy and spoke first, "The Dark Elves here release dark energy that gradually corrupts

“The energy here feels very similar to what I felt in that passage. “Although I called it a passage, it felt more like an unknown world. There was no light in that world, and it was completely shrouded in darkness. Moreover, powerful, evil spirits lurked in the dark. They were very powerful. All of the evil spirits I encountered were at the Emperor Rank. “After leaving the place, I ventured to many other ruins. Eventually, I found some information about the place.” James listened carefully. Emperor Jabari continued. “Our universe is split into two dimensions—light and dark. “Our universe is called the Illuminated World. “Meanwhile, the
