The Keeper Of Happy Endings の小説・ストーリー

The Keeper arrived on the sixth day before the ceremony, and Lena met her at the Citadel's main gate — alone, without ceremony attendants, without Vann's guard, because the Ravenglade Pack Keeper had specified in her response letter that she would come through the main gate as herself, and what you were was what you brought to greet her. She was not what Lena had expected. She had expected age to be visible on the Keeper — had expected the specific quality of great age that she had seen in Sable, the deep stillness, the sense of something that had moved past time's urgency. The Keeper had that quality, but differently. Where Sable's age was a kind of mineral patience — compressed, dense — th

"I am happy. I did not know I could be. Not like this. Not in this world." Iriel sat on the grass. "The watcher is happy too. It told me. It said that you taught it how to be happy." Clara shook her head. "The watcher taught himself. I just witnessed." --- Kaelen had become the keeper of the Archivist's grave. She spent hours there each day, kneeling in the soil, her hands on the gold flowers. The blooms above the grave were larger than any others, their petals almost white, and they pulsed with a light that seemed to hold the Archivist's winter-sky eyes.

"No more screaming." The Keeper smiles. *"Now you are *complete*."* I step back. "Eden, fight it." He tilts his head, the crystal humming. "Why? This is what we wanted. Peace." The Keeper's reflection shows me a world of crystalline order-no storms, no symphonies, no pain. Eden stands at its center, a statue of perfection. *"Join him,"* the Keeper urges. *"Be *flawless*."* I reach for Eden's hand. The crystal spreads to my fingertips-cold, beautiful, *dead*.

Bound. "Shouldn’t I be the one asking you that,? But since you asked so nicely, I am the guardian of this room.? His smile widened. “I’m the Keeper of these records,” he said calmly, taking a step closer. “Sworn to protect the truth. And punish those who dare unearth it.” My pulse spiked. So this is how Kairos kept his secrets buried he assigned a guardian. One tied by blood or vow… or worse, by magic. “I was just cleaning,” I lied, feigning innocence.

I yelled furiously. "Only half way was the aim." He picked up the keys and handed them to me. "Is this your new job? Scaring people?" "No," he smiled. "That's just a hobby." His smile went right up to his dark brown eyes and lit up his features. His eyes were the inspiration for Moira’s. Slick, dark hair covered his head, neatly parted.

Varkii immediately runs after Trosdig and tries to convince him in vain, I instead run up the wall and try senselessly to get some words out to Pal’lacon I caught sight of the old man, saw him kneeling down on both knees in serenity and in prayer. Which contrasted Trosdig’s loud remarks about “the good of the Cohort” and the “nobility of sacrifice” as a response to Varkii’s clearly faltering attempts to convince our superior officer to open the gate. But I just had to wonder, what would convince Pal’lacon to end his life in such a way. Then a realization hits me as I see Pal’lacon standing up and picking up a nearby musket at his side. The explosives of the mechanical men were placed under t

✨ The moment he appeared— Every book in the room began floating. 📚⚡📚⚡ The air became heavy. Breathing became difficult. 💔 The masked stranger looked directly at Ilyaan. Then spoke. 🌙 “The Last Memory Carrier.” 😱 Ilyaan froze. “Who are you?” The stranger smiled behind the mask. 💀 “I am The Keeper.” ⸻ 🌙 The Forgotten War The Keeper slowly walked toward them. His presence alone felt terrifying.

he replied, his voice warm. “And why do you say that?” Aislen found herself smiling back at him. There was something entirely engaging about him, she thought, something that sucked a person into his warmth and made them want to confess to all manner of things. Not a werewolf, she tried to think logically. No, Leighton Richard wasn’t a werewolf, nor was he a vampire. But he was something… something supernatural. “Because, I am not,” he replied. “You are the Secret Keeper.”

Alarick said, kissing both of his hands softly, where their bond marks are, "The temple is your home, and my home is in you. A cruel fate for a kragforer." (My sacred Dalli.) (Barbarian) Erriene was not even able to translate the words any more. Alarick looked at him in pure adoration and sorrow. "You brought my mamkka back like you promised. You also found my heir." Erriene's eyes blurred and he could hear a child crying out in the distance. It's my fault I'll never have him, I'm cursed, I'm alone, I'm alone again-

I clutched the approval documents for a public welfare project and waved them at Clayton, who was seated on the couch. "This is a surprise." He set down his book and leaned in, wrapping his arms around my waist from behind. His chin brushed against my head as he asked, "What kind of surprise has you so happy?" I turned and nestled into him, my voice low. "The vendor who sold you to me, the operation running the arena, and the whole illegal supply chain for venting beastkin… Haven't they been rounded up?"
