The Secret Of Platform 13 Novels & Stories

But when we reached the center of the ruins, the air changed. It became heavier. The silver pillar of light descended directly onto the ground before us. The earth trembled violently. Stone slabs shifted. A circular platform slowly rose from beneath the cracked foundation. Carved lines ran across its surface forming intricate patterns that matched the symbol floating above. The platform was the entrance. The vault. The Alpha released my hand and stepped closer to examine it. “It was hidden underground,” he murmured. “Yes,” the scarred wolf said behind us. “Protected by blood recognition magic.”

The handwriting was frantic, the ink smeared as if it had been written in a hurry. ​December 12th. The Board has found out about the 5th Street land. They think I’m holding it to protect the heritage, but they want the hub. Catherine says we have to liquidate. I won't do it. If I go, tell Damian the secret isn't in the land. It’s in the press itself. Under the floorboards of the original Heidelberg. ​Under the floorboards, I repeated. Damian, that’s where I was cleaning today. I saw a loose plank near the base of the machine.

“We make a hell of a team.” She laughed, breathless. “You’re an acquired taste.” He barked a laugh that turned into a growl of delight. “Acquired is good.” The platform clanged to a halt on level fifteen. The open shaft yawned above. Doors on either side swung inward, revealing corridors deserted save for flickering torches and smoldering corridors. Lucien hooked the platform to the wall. “The chapel hatch is two flights up,” he growled. “Let’s burn this tower’s heart down.”

I said, looking toward the horizon, where the white-hot spindle was parting to reveal a massive, spiraling Ziggurat of Pure, Black-Emerald Light. "We’ve only just opened the Gate to the West's Final Secret." The Glass Floor didn't just break; it Evaporated, forming a massive, spiritual Gateway to the One-Hundred-and-Thirteenth Layer. "The Layer of the Primal Shroud is activating," Leo said, his runes turning a steady, celestial sapphire. "And it’s the Gate to the First Luna’s True Grave." I looked at the Eleven Sovereigns, then at my own scarred hands, which were now glowing with the indigo-gold light of a hundred and twelve victories.

"Mike, please don't tell Luke about my marriage." He frowned, gripping the wheel. "Did you bully you? Argh. He was a cold fish back in school. If he doesn't look out for you, I'll go deck him." "Just don't tell him," I repeated. Mike grinned, not thinking much about it. "Forget that. We're going to the biggest zoo. You'll love it." "A zoo?" I blinked. My college research was zoology. Animals were my weakness. Once we got there, I saw my favorite alpine ibex and got so excited that I soon lost sight of Mike. As I searched for him, my nose bumped into a solid chest.

"That means he holds a secret he cannot allow anyone to discover. And whatever that secret is, Hailey and Keegan must have stumbled onto it." A sharp light flashed in his eyes. He struck the desk with his palm. "What is the greatest secret in the apocalypse? Resources." He leaned forward. "The massive shipment missing from Volmart… It's in his hands. And he is hiding it with some kind of spatial ability!"

His wolf was about to come out when I pressed his shoulder. "Somebody is watching us!" I whispered back as I glanced around. "I can smell it!" I sniffed around. Honestly, I already had a notion that Tia was lingering around. I just had no idea where she was. I had to lie about the location of the secret door to trick her. "The secret door is in the highest mountain on Earth!" "The Everest?" Esteban exclaimed. Well, that was already the farthest if ever Alectrona would want to go there and search for that door. Even if Tia could teleport, it would take her time to find it.

Jacob was puzzled, "Ms. Thea told me that the money from Maplecrest Enterprises was earned by you? You, having so much money? How could you embezzle a mere few hundred billion from the four major families?" Theo's handsome face suddenly turned gloomy, “Because I wanted to bring down the four major families from their pedestals." "What benefits does this have for you?" "Jacob, as a professional top-notch lawyer, you should be more curious about why I brought down the four major families from their pedestals." Jacob stared wide-eyed and asked, "Why?" "Look it up yourself." No. 13 suddenly stood up and said, "Jacob, the end is just the beginning." After saying that, No. 13 left without looking

Her scanner beeped erratically. “What is it?” Liam asked. “Energy spike. Something’s ” A deep hum rose from beneath the ground, vibrating through their bones. The stones shifted underfoot. Then, with a groan, a hidden platform rose from the earth, covered in moss and symbols. At its center, a small metallic cube glowed faintly. Ava stared at it, trembling. “That’s her core. One of them.” Morgan took a cautious step forward. “If we destroy it, it might delay the network.”

Waiting for the doors to shut; he continues, “thanks to your mothers, I was able to follow their trail and I found out their information. Technology today, I was able to dig further.” “Is it Max Springfield?” Emmett asks as the elevator stops on the top floor. Stuart doesn’t answer him. He walks off the elevator and into the Emmett’s office with Simone and Emmett following him in. “It’s bigger than just one person. He plays the main role; but there are people out there in high positions he has under his control” Stuart says, pulling his laptop out of his bag with a remote internet USB modem. “The modem was purchased with cash and connected under the name Benjamin Franklin Peirce.
