Novel & Cerita The Water Keeper

" As the guardian's voice fades, the chamber returns to an eerie stillness. The water around them seems to hold its breath, creating an atmosphere of suspense.

After my sister-in-law Lydia had my brother Caleb's kidney removed and spent three years draining his blood, he escaped back to our hometown barely alive. He lay on a bed at the clinic, holding my hand tight as he said, "Noah, don't go after them. You can't afford to cross Lydia's family." Three days later, he died in my arms. I buried him on the hillside behind the town, under the old oak tree he had loved to climb as a child. On the seventh day after I buried him, a black Maybach stopped at the edge of town. Lydia got out with a frail man who looked like he could fall over at any time. She stood outside my house's door and looked at me. "Noah, where's your brother? Tell him to come o

Fenelle began coaxing me. "Alright then!" I nodded. By this point, I was already so worked up that I couldn’t refuse anymore. Fenelle dipped her fingers in some water and gently washed me there. Feeling her small hands, I almost shivered. It felt so good! Slowly, Fenelle bent down, opened her mouth, and slowly lowered her head, moving closer to my…

She said your grandma was the smartest and strongest Keeper."

But she couldn’t help but feel that way with the other. She’s hard to read, and the fact that she acted like she is hiding something. “Who are you!” she shouted at the other who was walking away from her calmly like nothing happened. Aedre stopped walking then turned her head to look at Tivona who had her hands clenched into fists at her sides, then spoke calmly. “I’m the guardian of water.”

A soft wind swept through the branches as if the trees had been waiting to hear me say those words. I followed the path. My breath quickened as the trees thinned. Ahead of me, a wide clearing opened. In the center stood a pool of water—still, dark, reflective like polished glass. Something drifted above it. A figure. A woman made of white light hovered above the pool, her face blurred, her hands folded against her chest. She looked neither alive nor dead. She looked like a memory being kept barely together. I stepped forward slowly. “Are you the First Keeper?” I asked.

I stood in the dark of my room with a notebook in each hand and the specific cold clarity of someone who has just understood that the scale of what they are dealing with is considerably larger than they had measured.

’’ Emma spat very much irritated with the earlier attitude of Keeper. ‘’I am Keeper and if you kill me, the ministers would never accept you talkless of him.’’ her voice came out in a whisper but it was enough to fuel the anger of Emma even more. ‘’Do I look like I care?
