Timeless: A Drizzt Novel Novels & Stories

Suddenly the ground began to open and as it did, houses began to collapse. "She's destroying it all," Silver yelled. "She can try." Phoenix discarded her sword and made a symbol with her hand. "Drakus!" A sharp wind later and a roar tore through the sky. Fire broke through lightning and a large white dragon appeared. It roared causing bricks to fall of buildings. "Useless!" Ashterah laughed. Just then the ground burst open releasing thousands of Daemons. Hungry blood seeking Daemons who began to run after running citizens. Phoenix rose in the air and mounted her Dragon. "Drakus!"

If I could just get to safety— The trees ahead of me exploded. A monstrous figure stepped through the flames. I barely had time to register the sheer size of it—easily fifteen feet tall, its body made of coal and molten fire. Its glowing ember eyes locked onto me, burning with something far worse than rage. Purpose. A deep, distorted voice rumbled through the clearing. “The time has come.” The air turned heavy, crackling with unnatural energy. My wolf recoiled, instinctively knowing we were facing something beyond our world. "We shall claim the Helm of the Gifted."

"Darling, I know you couldn't get over my affair with Jackie, but I was in the dark! She lied to me! I'm on meds, so I won't catch whatever STDs she has. Let us get back together and start anew." Start anew? How bold of him to bring that up! "Joshua, did you really think I divorced you over STDs? Our relationship was doomed from the moment you drugged my family!" Joshua stumbled backward in shock when he heard the mention of drugging. "H-How did you…" He picked up on the clue. "Are you reborn as well?" I nodded. "So, do you still wish to get back together?" Joshua could not come up with a reply. He was too embarrassed to discuss our past lives.

He looked down at the floor and the broken pieces of glass on the floor and then at my face. "Yeah Nicholas. I know. I know you all want me to be safe. And I want you all to be safe. And I think you all will be once I am gone" I said looking into his eyes and simultaneously cutting my wrist. Thanks to my dress that it is hiding the blood dripping on the floor. The dress Dante presented to me. And this would be a peace offering for him. "I'll keep you all safe Nicholas. I'll let you all live in peace and I'll leave" I said before my vision became clouded and before everything started fading away.

“What is that, is the color changing… to gold? The mummers increases. I was suddenly filled with an urgency to come out and so I shot out of the hole, breathing deep to recover the air which I had lost. “Gwenn.” Arius breathed a sign of relieve and jumped into the hole to reach me. “Your majesty…”Someone called Arius but all Arius intention was, was to hold me. “I don’t like what I saw.” I mumbled to Arius. “I understand. “What happened to the color of the hole, it was purple and now, it is purely gold.” “It signifies next, a new cycle of northerners, a new age. Since you awoke it, I have no idea what we would be expecting.”

Rivener lunged toward her, instincts pure protection. Adrian lunged too, instincts pure prophecy. And Charlie— Charlie’s vision snapped white. Not bright. Not glowing. White. Like snowfall. Like breath in winter. Like the hush before something breaks. Charlie Shifts… But Not Into What Anyone Expected Her knees buckled. Her fingertips dissolved into motes of silver dust. Then her arms. Then her shoulders. Then everything. Rivener shouted her name—echoing, distant. Adrian swore in a language Charlie didn’t recognize.

I replied. Hugo leaned forward from his seat and continued the tale saying, "She wasn't trapped, little miss. She chose to stay there. You see, the dimension where all the entities were bound is called Tartarus. It is the deepest section of the underworld which harboured all the darkness and evil of the world; some birthed by Tartarus itself, some children of dark primordial beings such as Khaos, Nyx, and Erebos. Among these children are the triad of death namely Moros, daemon of doom; Ker, bringer of violent death; and Thanatos, spirit of gentle passing. Their presence combined gave birth to a condition of aspiration and desire to live; hence, the existence of Elpis, spirit of hope. Elpis s

Jasper Absent-mindedly, I listened to the clock ticking, eagerly waiting for the hour hand to strike midnight so that this wretched day may over. Tick Tick Tick It was now half past eleven. Thirty minutes left of this agony. The room was cold and empty. It was dark too. The only light that was on was the one on my desk, the one I was currently pretending to use. The walls were thick, thick enough for me not to be able to hear past them. They were made that way on purpose as were the walls of all the chambers on the South and North wings of the castle.

I looked at Maurice coldly. He gave me a disdainful gaze in return. Then, he pulled out a translucent, heart-shaped rock and threw it onto the table. "I know you like things like this. Think of it as my engagement gift to you, but don't think too highly of yourself." I looked at the rock, remembering how he'd given it to me in a similar manner in my past life. I'd treated it like a precious treasure, and I'd kept it with me at all times. I'd thought it was a symbol of his love for me, yet he'd secretly stolen the jewelry Mother had given me as a wedding gift and given it all to Camilla.

It broke like a glass wall and it cracked and when it cracked it broke in an instant in time when everything stopped the red sun, then with that came the waters stopped the flames froze the waves stopped and the animals fell asleep as if in a sleep eternal and time stopped causing him to freeze in time. When he had the power of seduction of Zariel as his pheromones and sealing the will of his victims amidst his body that was slashed with tentacles slamming in and out of him, in which a whisper of a crow behind him came the dragon mask and layers floating around like a portal opened and everything broke and the glass creaked and the mirrors broke.
