Tunnels Novels & Stories

The tunnel's sleek, metallic structure gleamed under the laboratory lights, reflecting the cutting-edge technology within. Gloria stepped forward, guiding the visitors' attention to the tunnel. "Ladies and gentlemen, this is our wind tunnel section, where we simulate and analyse the aerodynamic performance of our aircraft models. The data gathered here is vital for enhancing fuel efficiency and reducing drag, which are key components of our sustainability initiatives."

"Three weeks ago. Before any of this. Before I knew you existed." "What kind of map?" "Service tunnels. The compound's service tunnels." Her voice broke. "Entry points. Exit routes. Maintenance schedules." The blood drained from my face. Service tunnels. The same tunnels that ran beneath the entire compound. The same tunnels that connected every building, every residence, every secure location in the territory. If hunters—or anyone else—had that map, they could enter the compound unseen. Move through the infrastructure without trigger

"Small group. Good. The tunnels aren't built for armies." "How long to reach the cells?" I ask. "Twenty minutes if we move carefully. Less if we're lucky and don't encounter patrols." He produces a flashlight. "Stay close. The tunnel system is a maze. People have gotten lost down there and never found their way out." "Comforting," Zara mutters. Sebastian leads us inside through a door that shouldn't open but does. The interior is gutted, just concrete and rust. He moves to what looks like a solid wall and presses something. A section swings inward, revealing stairs descending into darkness.

It will not do to have Graydon think the Alpha accompanying him is a giant baby. We move together starting from the tunnel on our left. There will be a mark, he mindlinks, for their pack to know which tunnel. Look for anything unnusual. We shine our torches up and down the archways to the tunnels. We do it for each of the seven tunnels. At the last one we turn and try again. This time scanning in minutely different spots.

"Kaelen is stationed at the gate. She’s expecting you to move tonight. She’s already deployed the archers, and she’s got a detachment of Null-Knights ready to dampen whatever magic you think you’ve got left in your lungs." Aiden looked at Ignis, then back at the map. The lines on the parchment seemed to dance, showing routes through the subterranean tunnels that drained into the city’s sewer system. "If we take the tunnels, we bypass the gate." "The tunnels are flooded with runoff from the coolant pipes of the forges," Vane warned. "The water is toxic, and the pipes are kept at boiling temperature

“Just not in front of this many people, and we need to debrief before details start getting lost.” I moved back to the table, sinking into my chair, and motioning everyone else to do the same. “Okay so, what has been happening? How are the tunnels?” “Some of the tunnels are blocked, but we will be able to get through. The tunnels that are still accessible are narrow, though, and not very tall either,” Julienne explained, the stress evident in her voice. “They’re tunnels designed to be travelled as a wolf,” Nathaniel added. “They were put in to make it easy to move b

KEILAH As we stepped into the cave, my breath caught in my throat. My mouth hung open in awe as I took in the sight before me. The cave was enormous, far larger than I could have imagined from the outside. It felt like an underground stadium, its sheer size making me feel small and insignificant. The walls stretched high above us, and the ceiling arched into a vast dome that seemed to go on forever.

Once fully shifted, they stepped into the shadows, into the unknown, their paws silent on the cold, damp earth of the tunnel's entrance. The tunnels were a maze, a twisting, turning labyrinth that could trap the unwary. Dark and foreboding, they were a challenge unto themselves, a network of underground passages that wound their way beneath the land. But they were prepared. Kane had led a training exercise through them just the year before, and the memory of that mission was fresh in their minds. They knew the way.

He stood now beside her as she knelt by the stones, having noticed her absence from him. "Yes, sir," she said, removing her hand. "I suppose you wonder how these work," he said, his eyes moving over to her. She nodded. "These tunnels are a labyrinth," Waverley explained with his usual kindness and etiquette. "They were built centuries ago by the City Architects as a means of safe passage for the Court Officers in times of trouble. Each passage is needed at some time but not at all times. Some have said that the tunnels move and rearrange themselves according to the needs of the officers. The same are those who cannot accept that

Halfway to the door, I stopped so abruptly that Sol nearly collided into my shoulder. The tunnels. Maxwell had escaped through the underground tunnel network beneath the Academy. The same tunnels that connected supply routes. The same tunnels that ran beneath the Imperial Tower. “They’ve already passed the barricade,” I said, my voice going cold. Sol turned sharply. “What?” “The tunnels. Maxwell used them before. If the Eclipse mapped them, the barricade doesn’t matter.” Marcus swore under his breath. Bruno’s golden eyes darkened. “Those routes were sealed.” “Sealed
