The Pillars Of The Earth Novels & Stories

"You will find out soon, Amaya, don't worry! Ivy and I will take care of you." "Thank you, Leon!" We walked for another thirty minutes before he came to a halt. I know we were out of our pack's territory but didn't say anything. "Here! Look!" he said, and I froze in my place. There was a lake, but its water was different; it was purple. Dark blue flowers were everywhere, making this place look surreal. "Wow!" was all I could say. "Do you like it? It is said that this was the place where one of the first gods' daughters fell in love with a human. The War God killed her after she..."

Third person's P.O.V 2350 A.D The vast blue ocean stretched all over the horizon, coloring the world of the mid realm with its serenity and peace. The scene was truly breathtaking as it was the God's fine work and artistry that made the world of Meniscus happen. Meniscus, the only place; an object made of earth and air and fire and water, twice the sizes of the cooling moons, has sustained the growing life that the God of Man has successfully conjured.

This time I supplied him magic support and he nodded grimly in thanks. The rooftop was empty, all but for some outtakes of air conditioning, the giant units roaring into the darkness, and a sculpture on the far end, facing inland. I slid to a halt on the pebbled asphalt roof, the stink of it rising to assault me, heat making the footing sticky. Demetrius pointed as I tried to make sense of what I saw. Five pillars, taller than me, taller than the goon squad we'd taken out, stood in a rough circle around another central column. No ordinary pillars. My sorcery called to them as I approached, the pulse of their magic warming to greet the stone in my hand.

Don Simeon's face was etched with disbelief before he could regain his senses. The ground before him quaked, and a huge earth pillar, over two meters, emerged from the ground. Before he could react, the huge pillar cut, and darted towards him, splitting his neck from his head. Blood spilled all over the floor, and Don Simeon's head rolled on the floor, the ten gods looked towards the gunman, and he shuddered in fright. They submerged into the ground before they were completely swollen into the Earth.

Max? Then nothing.

After a short while, the Eternal God slows a little and whispers a few words in a language that even I don’t understand, and since being here, I have picked up on a few different tongues, that have come to me with ease. A flicker of embers appears in the darkness before two towering stone pillars begin to materialise, set twenty metres apart and tower far up, disappearing into the darkness above. I step back, watching as the engravings covering the pillars begin to glow. Thick chains materialise, pulled taught and I turn sharply to see that in the middle of the two pillars, is a woman, suspended far up. Her head is hanging, her arms stretched painfully on either side as the chains wrap aroun

“What are these?” The text shifted, forming new words beneath the symbols: Anchors of Balance. Valen’s brow furrowed. “Anchors? Like the Nexus?” The tome’s pages turned on their own, revealing an illustration of three distinct artifacts, each glowing with a unique light. Beneath them, more text appeared: The Pillars of the Realms. Together, they uphold the balance. But if one falters, all shall fall. “They’re connected to the Nexus,” Alex said, their voice heavy with realization. “If we can find them, maybe we can stabilize the balance and stop the corruption.”

"It found us." The descent seemed endless. Each step echoed through the ancient passage, but no cobwebs, no decay and no collapsed ceilings. It was as though time itself had refused to touch this place. Finally… The staircase opened into an enormous underground hall. The four of them froze to see hundreds of black stone pillars stretched toward the darkness above. Each pillar was carved with scenes of war, peace, harvest, and judgment. Golden braziers burst into flame the instant Maritza entered and the hall became as bright as day.
