Novel & Cerita The Jade Mountain Prophecy

I exhaled sharply, and pulled my knees up to my chest to try and disperse the butterflies swarming my gut. They were not because of Nox, I told myself. It was the brisket. The fabulous, delicious brisket. “I guess I’ll just start from the top then.” Jada said, glancing at Hakeem who stood across the room, for support. He offered her a curt nod and nothing more. “Right, then. So, there’s this prophecy. Seer’s have been talking about it for centuries. It’s big, like monumentally big.” “Jeremy said it predicted me destroying the world or something. Who knew the apocalypse would be started by someone named Lilac.” The strong note of bitterness in my voice had my joke falling flat.

I shouted, hoping someone would hear. “And you are?” a woman’s authoritative voice called down from above. “I’m—” I hesitated, my thoughts racing. “Yes! I didn’t quite get that! You’ll have to speak up!” “I’m Jade . . . Jade Ishola!” I finally said, thinking, 'What’s the point of lying now?' “Welcome to the Family, Jade,” the woman said. Seven columns of bamboos raised, creating a passage through the wall. “He was meant to leave you alone in the forest. We can’t afford to have anyone weak among us again.”

Roger reached for her—but she held out a hand, palm raised. “No,” she said, voice rough, possessed. “It’s not done.” And the ground beneath her bloomed warm. Like breath. Like a sleeping mouth. Like invitation. The prophecy hadn’t just blinked. It had opened its eyes. All of them. Jasmine stood... slowly. Her legs unsteady. Her body bare and burning with sex and mud and the full weight of the moon. And still, the earth watched. The fire crackled in reverence. The wolves whispered in awe.

At the center, an elder with hollowed cheeks and piercing, unnatural eyes stepped forward. "The prophecy speaks once more," the elder intoned. "The child of dusk and moonlight has awakened." A murmur rippled through the gathering. Another figure, shrouded in deep red, hissed, "Then the chains will break soon. The lost will rise again." "But she is unclaimed," a voice countered. "The path is not yet set. She wavers between destiny and defiance." The elder’s gaze turned toward the stone altar at the center of the room, where symbols older than time itself had been carved. "She belongs to us. The first king’s bond cannot be severed. If she does not come willingly, we will ensure she has no choi

The mountain lion’s carcass lay several yards away, but I tried not to look at it. I didn’t sleep. All night, I thought about the vision I’d had five years ago. I had thought about it a hundred times before, turned it over and over in my mind until it became smooth like a stone polished by the tide. I had looked at it from every angle and I had never found a way out of the Moon Goddess’s prophecy, but I had also never found a real reason to follow it. And even now, I still didn’t see one. There had to be another way. I pulled the heart-shaped ruby out of my pack and studied it. Was this the way to save Andrei and stop the darkness before it spread? Or was this all part of the Moon Goddess’s

It didn't make sense in terms of time. “There can’t be any mistake. Only the blood of my younger brother’s eldest son, born of his lawful wife, can melt into this round piece of jade which was taken from Mount God’s Grace of Jade of the Ancient Qinling Mountain, the highest mountain on the God’s Grace Land. It is the token of love of my brother and his wife.” The Golden Light was quite excited when it looked back upon the old days.

But here it wasn’t faint, it was everywhere, seeping through the mist curling down the slope, licking across my face and hair. Jasmine whined low in her throat and pressed her side against my leg. She didn’t need words. Her body was enough. She was trembling but steadying me, warning me without pulling me back. She knew, as I did, that retreat wasn’t an option. The mountain had called me, the seventh of them, and the custodian waited.

She whispered, and I nodded. “Alpha.” His rough voice came through, and I prepared myself for whatever he was about to drop on me. “What's going on?” I asked, and he sighed. “There's fire on the mountain.” “I've told you severally not to speak in parables with me. Stop beating around the bush and hit the nail on the fucking head.” I snapped harshly. I was a little extra, but does it matter? “The prophecy I told you about years ago has surfaced again. I think k she's here.” Thalos said, sounding mysterious. Khalid arrived with the car at the same time.

I didn't understand what she said and she was generous enough to rephrase her statement, making it more clearer . " Ada, during your battle with the hybrid, you will have to give up something that you hold dear... And that is your humanity in other to defeat the hybrid, didn't anyone tell you about the prophecy?"

It reminds me of my father’s stories around the fire. I listen to her tale, knowing little of her people, attentively watching her through the mirrors reflection. “The Goddess herself blessed the Great Mountain, and appointed the Shadow Mountain pack to be the Guardians of the Mountain. Protectors of her sacred stones.” She reaches into her pocket and retrieves a small book. “ The Goddess said, “Be pious! Be true! Accept the challenges whether they be many or few. Give thanks and for blessings bestowed; when the time comes submission is owed. To cleanse the lands and return them to glory! To each new bride you tell this story. The story of how the Great Mountain stood, in the face of evil fo
