Those Beyond Novels & Stories

It wasn't magic in any form we understood, not elemental, not mystical and certainly not divine. I stood at the nexus point of all converging realities, Kai's luminous spirit was beside me. I had evolved beyond the simple categories of flesh and bone, beyond the limitations of singular existence. I was something liminal now, a living tether stretched between the state of becoming and the realm of beyond, while my children watched in profound silence as the veil between known multiverses began to part like cosmic curtains revealing an infinite stage.

Charles whispered: “These aren't all experiments.” Anna shook her head. “No.” Original Adrian appeared beside her. “Some have been there longer than humanity.” Catherine went still. “How many?” The count continued. Billions. Trillions. Then the system abandoned numbers. POPULATION: NON-FINITE Elena stared. “What are they?” Anna answered: “Consciousnesses that fell outside their realities.” Marcus frowned. “Across every universe?” “Yes.” “Every era?” “Yes.” “And now they're waking because the boundary changed.”

“That’s not coming from here.” Lyra looked into the distance. “…it’s coming from beyond this layer.” Kael’s jaw tightened. “So something else is still out there.” Silence. The Consequence shifted again. “External observation persists.” Lyra narrowed her eyes. “From what?” Silence. Then: “Unidentified.” The first figure looked between them. “Are we in danger?” Silence. Lyra hesitated. Then answered honestly. “…we don’t know yet.” Kael added quietly.

Darian and Roran and Elara fill the room, their faces expectant. "There is a world beyond Silvermoon," I say. "A world we have never explored. A world that has been waiting for us." My mother speaks. "What do you mean?" "I mean there are other kingdoms. Other wolves. Other beings. We are not alone. We have never been alone. We simply could not see them." Freya leans forward. "And how do you know this?" "The bridge allows me to see. To hear. To feel. There is a presence beyond the eastern mountains. A presence that is curious about us. Curious about me."

In the realm beyond the celestial rift, Sasha and Alec found themselves bathed in an otherworldly glow, surrounded by a surreal landscape that seemed to shift with the ebb and flow of cosmic energies. The air hummed with an ethereal resonance, and constellations danced in patterns that defied earthly logic. A voice, echoing from the cosmic expanse, resonated through their beings. "Guardians, you have ventured beyond the astral cradle into the heart of cosmic truths. Here, the tapestry of destinies is woven with threads of eternal significance."

I was in awe of it. " What is he doing?" " He does that sometimes. He goes into the beyond realm," Aery's voice dropped. I gaped at that. The Beyond was a world inhabited by supernatural spirits. It was filled with dazzling creatures of all kinds. That is where our counterparts are before they join us on our sixteenth birthdays. The beyond consisted of good and evil. Heaven and hell. Light and darkness.

“There’s something going on beyond the portal that has them more concerned than normal.” “Beyond the portal?” I mused. “There are so many portals. What portal are they worried about?” As he patiently looked at me, I noticed that the anxiousness in his beautiful eyes slowly shifted to love that bordered on lust. “It’s a saying more than a place. When they say Beyond the Portal they mean in the alternate reality. It’s a way of keeping it separate from time travel and the like.” “I see,” I said as I considered this fact. “So, if they’re referring to time travel, then, they simply say time travel?”

"Older than any kingdom. The name the gods used when they first documented what it was." "The prophecy says these four children will face the Shadow Beyond," Eldric continued. "Not in small engagements. Directly. The four divine aspects together represent something the Shadow Beyond cannot consume because divine energy from four combined aspects produces something opposite to what it feeds on. Where the Shadow Beyond needs suffering and death these four children together can produce its inverse in quantities large enough to push it back." "Back to where," Kael said. "Back behind the boundary set for it before recorded history," Eldric said. "The Shadow Beyond exists outside the boundaries th

The students found themselves exchanging puzzled glances. There wasn’t an uproar like the last time, but doubtful faces filled the room. Conrad understood why. ‘They’re both powerful Otherworlders—one of the best in the group. There aren’t many who could face them and win.’ Conrad felt confident that given a couple more months, Alicia and Billy could even surpass the Alliance's most powerful Warrior and Mage, respectively. “It’s possible they’ve been kidnapped or are facing some other trouble we’re unaware of, but what we do know is that they’re missing.”

She moved to stand directly in front of Elara's throne. "Listen to me carefully," Lysandra said, her ancient eyes blazing with something that looked almost like fear. "The Others are not like any beings you've encountered. They exist between worlds. They understand reality in ways that the Fae and wolves and witches don't. They are older than our civilization. Older than the current magical order." "Are they dangerous?" Alaric asked.
