The Pearl Novels & Stories

When the night-shining pearl made its appearance, it did not shine as bright as day, but it was at least as bright as eight or nine candles. Just how much would this huge piece of night-shining pearl cost? Probably upward of two million! "Okay, okay, okay!" The old lady laughed. "William, Grandma didn't pamper you in vain!" Everyone joined in the applause. His gift was nothing short of spectacular. Such a huge night-shining pearl was a rarity in Donghai City! At that juncture, however, Darryl unwittingly chuckled out loud. ‘Haha, is William trying to be funny?’ Others might not have the eye for it, but Darryl could see that the night-shining pearl was worth no more than 10,000 bucks. It was

She told him with an eagerness in her voice. She was excited for him to see her gift, and I was curious to see what it was. He lifted the little red lid to reveal a pearl. I recognized that pearl, it sat in a box on mom's dresser. Mom said it was useless after it was connected to Toni's spirit when he died. When he came back to life, there was no point in using it since Toni's spirit was on the mortal plane again. The pearl just sat there collecting dust as it couldn't be used by anyone else. I furrowed my brow in confusion as I continued to stare at the pearl in disbelief.

There was a bit of blood that accidentally smeared on the blue gem, but nothing major so I wasn't worried about it. Maybe it belonged to a girl from the party. Maybe someone forgot it here a long time ago. I didn't know who it belonged to obviously, but I decided to take it back with me. It looked rather expensive and someone might've been looking for it. Then I noticed that the pond started smoking. Well, actually, it was probably just steam, but it was way too cold in here for it to be steaming up. "What the actual fuck?" I stared at the scene in front of me. It was like it was boiling. How was that even possible? The air around me was starting to get hot and I couldn't take it any longer,

The last notes of the birthday song still hung in the air when my best friend dropped a bombshell. "Our very own heartthrob has gone all out to show his devotion to Yasmine with a surprise gift—the Peterson Group's legendary heirloom pearl bracelet!" The word 'heirloom' sent a ripple of excitement through my friends, who started whooping and hollering. I was buzzing with a different kind of excitement, not like the joy I felt in my previous life. Gazing at the softly glowing pearl bracelet, my hands balled into fists as the truth hit me—I had a second chance at life.

I’ll deal with it. Beatrice looks around the stone doorway, studying the symbols. “Just as I suspected.” She turns her blue eyes to me. “We should have you out of here in a few minutes, my King. Luckily for you, there are only about three types of barriers that are strong enough to hold you...and we had the components handy to break them all.” She sets a black satchel on the ground and begins pulling things out of it. “My King,” Zelda says as she comes to stand before me. “Did you happen to notice an Orb of Telsa anywhere during your stay?”

“It was a foundation. A core.” Damien rubbed his arms to shake off the chill. “Foundations don’t usually hum like they’re alive.” I couldn’t argue. A soft light pulsed at the far side of the chamber. Something was sitting at the very center of the room on a stone platform—a round object about the size of a grapefruit, floating a few inches above the surface. It glowed with a shifting iridescence, like a drop of mercury caught in sunlight. It called to me. I didn’t hear a voice. It was more like… a pull in my blood.

It probably wouldn't have been ideal for anyone else, and hell, Nikki may hate me for not making more of a production out of it, but either way, I stuck my hand into my pocket. She focused on our son, yet I knew the moment she saw the diamond that glittered in the white-gold setting. I heard the gasp seconds before she moved her fingers to her mouth. When she pulled back enough for me to see her eyes, radiant blues and deep greys feathered from her pupils, and tears pooled, threatening to cascade down her cheeks. I hated to see her cry, but this was when she was the most beautiful...when she was vulnerable.

Could his father have known about the peculiar properties of this pearl? He soon found a word carved onto the pearl: Rockefeller! The glistening letters looked slightly magical. The word wasn’t carved on the pearl’s surface, but rather, appeared to have been carved from the inside.

It was a small white jade pearl about the size of a thumb. "What is this?" Samuel frowned slightly. Even though he hadn't taken it, Samuel could sense the coldness emanating from its body. The pearl was also covered with a faint layer of white light. "Lady Silkworm said that it's the Jade Ice Pearl. With just a little strength, the temperature will drop sharply," the Thunder God said softly. After that, the Thunder God raised his hands slightly and presented the pearl respectfully.

As the name suggests, being a Grace in the midst of the darkness of the world. “Pearl fits your name very well, you know. Initially only grains of sand and dirt are swallowed by the shells. In the form of high pressure and a long time. The longer the shell is left unopened, the shinier and larger the pearl becomes. You may be nothing, you think. But I want you to believe in yourself more. The best pearls come after a long and painful process,” Evelyn said, gently brushing Grace's hair behind her ear. Success made Grace blush. “I wish I could make you my private pearl.” Grace chuckled.
