Upon A Hill Across The Blue Lake Novels & Stories

The two of us agreed and quickly headed out to the car that was waiting out front of the packhouse. As we were driving out of the pack lands, we passed by the Blue Lake. “Can we stop really quickly?” Wyatt nodded, pulling the car off to the side of the road. I rushed out, looking down over the edge of the hill. The lake was truly beautiful. Something that you would buy a photograph of and put it above your couch in your living room. The way the sun glistened off of the deep, blue water was breathtaking and so peaceful. Large birds dipped low, their wings nearly touching the top of the water as they flew. A family of turtles sat on the shore line basking in the sun.

Praying our luck held, we ran in silence through the shadows. The sky was paling as we neared the Blue Fire lake. Although Blue Moon had the best land for farming, it was also the smallest territory – an attempt by the treaty to make the split of land in Erandos fairer. I’d never been more glad of it; my legs and lungs felt ready to collapse by the time we finally slowed.

The Shores of Lake Brienz The pod screeched to a halt at the edge of the estate. Lake Brienz stretched out before them, a mirror of black water reflecting the silver peaks of the Alps. The summer villa was illuminated by thousands of fairy lights, looking like a dream—except for the black-clad enforcers patrolling the perimeter. "We go in as a unit," Alexander said, checking the tactical HUD on his wrist. "Julian, you take the high ground on the boat house. Elena and I go through the front. If she wants a performance, we’ll give her a finale."

Barbara couldn't help but speed up her pace while giggling. "You know what? We will pass many beautiful spots even though it's only more than 5 km. We will see many mountains, bridges over the sea, and I hope we can meet waterfalls or lakes. It is said that the lakes in this country are very beautiful. The water is turquoise." Philip smiled slightly as he helped Barbara take off her bag. Then, while Barbara sat holding out the map, he remained standing, studying her face as he rested his chin on two stacks of bags.

The letter reminds me of a legend my mom always narrated to me before sleeping. Long ago, my ancestors travelled through the depths of time seeking survival from the fangs of dangers an aging world brings them. They sought for shelter that would protect them from blazing heat that pierces through their bodies – the world was too big to search for purpose. Once in a night, the M’ri stumbled upon a mountain reaching the depths of the stars. It was high enough to see how far they’ve gone, looking from its top as they gaze to the line that separates the land and the air. They sat circling around a bonfire, singing for their great feat that defied through time.

The gentle moonlight stood at the center of the night sky and painted the surroundings with an electric-blue hue, it lengthened the shadows of objects, gilds everything in a warm glow and reveals little grains of sand on the concrete ground. Everly slipped into her favorite cropped top and denim jeans and appeared before Edwin who sat on the soft bed with his legs crossed and arms placed on the bed behind him, which he leaned on for support. The delightful scent of cologne hit him at a distant, his blue eyes twinkled

His breath came out in whirls of mist, dispersing in the chilled air as he charged on. Suddenly, Antonio slowed to a halt as the forest fell away to reveal an unexpected landscape. It was a clearing bathed in a brilliant tapestry of moonlight; its centerpiece, a tranquil lake that glittered like a sea of sapphires. On the opposite side of the lake was the territory of the werewolves. The territory was a vast expanse, swirling with mysterious energy that hummed in the very air. Beyond the lake, the forest continued, denser and darker than before, its towering trees casting long, foreboding shadows onto the smooth surface of the lake.

The waters on the lake were a brilliant deep blue with just a slight ripple over the surface and black at the portions of the shore shaded by the big green pine and fir trees. Overhead and connected to the lake and forest was the azure sky with just a few white cirrus clouds scattered about. It was calm except for an occasional breeze that stirred the ripple on the lake.

Peeling out of the compound, I took us west towards the secluded lakes beyond our territory borders. The winding mountain roads helped me focus, the potential crisis with Rylan temporarily fading into the background noise of the engine's growl. Daniella was similarly pensive beside me as we left Creek Valley behind. After an hour's drive, we reached the first of the glacier-fed lakes, its waters a brilliant turquoise even on this overcast day. Parking off the gravel road, we stretched our legs along the deserted shoreline. "A swim might be nice to cool off," Daniella suggested, kicking off her shoes.
