The Voice Realm Novels & Stories

“The Hollow Throne is not a place. It’s an entity’s body, a living realm. Once we step in, we are no longer bound by the rules of this world.” Malthea added, “Memories, fears, desires — they will be weaponized against us. Stick together.” Bain turned to his circle — Vulture, Petrov, Sokolov, Elias, Cassian, Seraphina, Malthea, Cassie, and Aragorn. “One rule,” Bain growled. “No one gets left behind.” Together, they stepped through. II. The Realm of Hunger The world on the other side was wrong. The sky was a swirling canvas of black ichor and crimson lightning. Mountains floated upside down, rivers ran like liquid shadows, and massive bones jutted from the ground like the ribs of a dead god.

"I don't even understand this realm that you speak of, and you are already taking me with stopping that man from taking what's naturally his? That's too big of a task. Marcellus hates me, and he is ashamed of me, I don't think I can fight for him not knowing if he was going to willingly going to feed me to the wolves." She smiled. "There are four realms; The moon realm, The blood realm, the gray realm and the forgotten realm. Millennials ago, we used to all live together, but we were at a bridge of war when a blood treaty caused us to separate. The barriers separating the realm was bound by a witch. The moon realm is for the werewolves, the blood realm; the vampires; the gray realm; witches.

Like it’s burning straight through me. When I finally manage to open my eyes, I realize I’m somewhere else. But I can’t quite see it. Not really. It’s not that my vision is blurry or fogged—it’s more like this place refuses to be seen. My eyes can’t grasp it. Like trying to look through water and seeing only ripples. Then a voice speaks, calm and almost amused: “You shouldn’t bother, child. Your soul isn’t strong enough yet to gaze upon this realm. It’s best this way.”

I refuse to fail. But something else came with it. Something cold. Something sharp. Something that whispered in the back of my mind: You don’t need them anymore. The realm attacked me. I ran. Creatures lunged at me from all sides. I teleported so as not to engage them. Roots tried to trap me. I burned them to ash. The sky cracked open with unnatural lightning. I redirected it back into the forest. I was exhausted, I couldn’t keep this up. I burst through the return portal just as the entire realm seemed ready to collapse around me.

I shut the door and go to my bed to lay down. Creator guide us. I close my eyes and I immediately feel the shift between realities. It's a heavy feeling that soon overtakes me. When I open my eyes again I'm standing on the realm bridge. The realm bridge is as busy as ever with jumpers walking along it and a few of them jumping off it. If only they knew what was going to go down tonight. "There you are," Ri says popping up behind me. "I was starting to think that he already took you."

It said: I am pleased with your progress. You have grown and appear to be making much wiser decisions. I asked: But what about all those voices, they did horrible things didn't they? The voice replied: It is not my place to comment. You were challenging the course of nature before and now you are accepting the natural environment around you. Now you appear to have moved past that and are not challenging it. You are progressing. I asked: How do you know all this? Where are you? Can I meet you?

"The Sword Realm!" Aurelia exclaimed in shock. The Sword Realm was a legendary realm. It was the highest realm that Warriors who were skilled with the sword could aspire to. Apparently, those at the Sword Realm could make anything around them become a blade for their use with just a thought. It could kill without so much as a warning. Blaine finally laughed triumphantly. "Felipe did not disappoint me! The Sword Consciousness Realm can kill silently!" The Tamworths' true secret had finally been revealed, but what did it matter?

“Can anyone hear me?” The voice echoes again. Soft. Terrified. Human Not cosmic. Not infinite. Human And somehow That terrifies every cosmic entity present The stars remain frozen. The heartbeat remains silent. The galaxies hang motionless in the void. Theodore swallows hard “…Why is the human voice scarier than the reality-ending monsters?” Eryndor answers quietly “Because it shouldn’t be there.” Exactly. The voice came from beyond reality. Beyond the system. Beyond the First Silence.

The sight of it filled them with hope and renewed determination. "We're almost there," Kai said, his voice filled with a mixture of relief and anticipation. "Let's go." They stepped through the portal, the familiar sensation of being transported washing over them. As they arrived back in the central hub, they were greeted by a familiar voice. "You have survived the Water Realm," the voice said, echoing around them. "But the journey is far from over. The next realm awaits, and the challenges will only grow more difficult. Prepare yourselves, for the true test is yet to come."

I asked as I pointed at Elijah and Klaus. “It seems that the vampire you call Klaus felt when you were dragged to the realm called ‘Dreams.’ It is a timeless realm where time, memories and events are warped from empty space to a universe.” Azreal said as he showed us a visual presentation of the realm. “Do you remember what happened?” Elijah asked. “She was bitten by a dog.” Klaus said as I gave the most apathetic smile I could give before I dropped it. “Not now Klaus.” Elijah and I said as he laughed at our reaction while I sighed and held my head.
