Novel & Cerita The Nook Of The North

she choked up with tears. Oana comforted her by rubbing her back. “Its okay child....see this as an opportunity to leave this dreadful place that you call a home.” Tears gushed out of Ilena’s eyes in fear of what life is ahead of her and what could happen once she is joined to the king of the North. That night, she tossed and turned in her worn mattress, unable to have a good night rest because of the jumbled thoughts of the Northern King in her head. A few days have passed and it was now the day of her wedding to the Northern King who had sent an Eagle to relay his message that he is already at the Eastern boarder.

She slid from the bunk, careful not to wake him, and hobbled out into the half-light. Nana was already up, rolling cigarettes in the station’s battered kitchen. She slid one to Elena, who accepted and held it but didn’t light. "You want to know what’s north," Nana said, not a question. Elena nodded. Nana lit her own cigarette. "There’s nothing, at first. Then, there’s a river, mostly frozen but still moving underneath. There’s the odd bandit, the odd desperate. But then there’s the city. You see it from twenty miles off. The towers are all still lit, and the sky is blue even in the night. People say it’s a safe zone. People say the machines run it better than the old mayors ever did."

"What are you waiting for now?" Noah glanced at me. The tips of his ears were a little red, but his voice was serious. "At least until I really make this shop work. She was almost the Luna of the North. I can't make her feel like all she has with me is a shabby little diner." I held my coffee and couldn't help smiling. "Noah." He looked at me immediately. "Yeah?" "I don't want the North, and I don't want a crown. I just want to know that when I turn around, someone is truly standing behind me."

Noah’s POV The silence in my study wasn’t peaceful, it was a vacuum, sucking the air out of my lungs until every breath felt like inhaling shattered glass. I stared at the map on my desk, the borders of Northreach bleeding into the Southern District in shades of aggressive crimson and charcoal. Two days.

“Dear child, why do you have such a hard life? You're just like my son, both of you live such tough lives.” Jane smiled sadly. She looked at the old lady with a slightly confused expression, then looked at Noah in front of her. However, the simple man smiled gently and said, “Why not I’ll carry my old mother on my back, and we can leave this place together? Shall we head north?” Jane looked at him. “…Noah, what…what do you mean?” Honest Noah said, “I can tell from your accent you’re not a local. South City is in the south, we speak with a Southern accent, but your accent is a typical northern accent. To tell you the truth, I’m from the north too.”

He remembered slaying another alpha from a weaker pack who spoke so highly of the Riftans. Robynn felt something very wrong in his gut. "By the way, Your Highness, how did you know that the North is silver-abundant?" Ydrian was silent for a while, then flashed a small smile. "The North is an untouched territory, I can only assume that there would be silver there." "And the other places?" The servants looked at Robynn while piling the silver ores back in the sack. "Our tunnels have extended past all three directions. The North is the only way to go."

As the carriage got close to its destination, she thought about everything she had read about Nordmar. Of all the kingdoms on the Uzhor Continent, the Kingdom of Nordmar was the biggest, wildest, and coldest. It was the home of the Eternal Winter, and snow covered almost all of it. Up in the vast mountains of Nordmar, it was so cold that few animals lived there. The peaks were so tall they seemed to reach the sky. Big forests of winter oaks, pines, and evergreen trees covered the many plateaus of Nordmar's mountains. Scattered across the land were clans inhabited by strong men. Tall, wild, and proud, the Nordmarians were born to dominate the inhospitable land they lived in and were often cal

“The real map. One you won't find so easily. ” I narrowed my eyes. “You’ve been holding out on us.” He didn’t deny it. “I was waiting to see if you’d be stupid enough to try,” he said, voice low. “Now I know you are. So I might as well help you live through it.” He jabbed a weathered finger at the center of the scroll. It showed the Nytherra lands, but this version read deeper into the north. Black mountains. Winding ravines. Symbols in a language I barely understood.

I was also a bit unnerved by the number of furtive glances I detected Willow aiming Theo’s way as the sun continued its revolving cycle of rising and setting at the same unending pace, day in and day out. All in all, I gathered that Zeke had been able to advance past the boundary as far as he had only through the sheer fact that he had known about a secret entrance that few others knew the existence of. I supposed each territory safeguarded their own enigmas, similar to the caves that few knew how to find in my own home domain.

I nodded my head signalling him to carry on. “She’s in Margam territory.” He said “Princes Noraveena was taken by the Royal rebels group who took her before and they took her into the Margam pack. She’s with the witches.” My brothers and I all looked at each other. My mouth went dry and I felt sick. They had been thorough and they had been clever. They took Nora to the once place they knew we were not allowed to be, not unless we wanted to plunge the whole continent into a war.
