Watcher Grian 소설 & 이야기

Griffin murmured, checking the neural stabilizer he'd been developing in secret—a device designed not to harm but to heal, to bridge the gap between what they were and what they might have been. Outside, the wind carried the scent of approaching storm.

She frowned, remembering what granny had just said. “ our?” she mumbled. Granny could see the skepticism written all over Raven's face. She knew that the idea of being a warrior fighting against vampires was not easy to accept. She took a deep breath and continued, "Yes, our job...You see, Night Watchers are a secret society of warriors who have been protecting humanity for centuries. It is a lineage that has been passed down from generation to generation, and I am a Night Watcher, just like you are."

“Sir, your safety is our priority-“ “Grian, stop it.” He turned around and saw William with his arms crossed and stood there like a fatherly figure. He approached Grian and patted his shoulder as he looked out the door. Good thing there aren’t any reporters since they don’t know about Grian’s house.

Xan said. Grace saw a red dot appear on a map, she tapped on it again and saw a layout of the Manor house. The red dot was in Grace’s room. “I bet Tobias is sleeping on my bed!” Grace said happily. “I know you miss your shadow, I thought this might help. It is a new product my tech firm created. The tracker uses. Tobias’s motion to recharge itself and gives a strong enough signal it can be picked up anywhere in the world!” Xan said looking embarrassed.

Elise did not yet know his last name, but even then, Graham was hoping that, since Flareholm was remote, she would not necessarily know about the Wrights. “Oh, yeah?” Elise asked, a brow raised. “Then, tell me, Graham, why do you have a Casio G-Shock MR-G? That watch alone costs ten thousand dollars.” Graham glared at his watch. It was one of his cheaper ones, picked on purpose for the expedition because it was tough, reliable, and could even handle being underwater. He made a face and said, “This cheap thing?” “Pfft! It’s a knockoff,” Graham said.

Beside him, strapped into a high-backed stone chair, was Grace. She looked small, her yellow raincoat a vivid spark against the grey stone. She wasn't crying. She was staring at Jian with a look of intense, cold observation—the look of the Alpha. "You’re late, Panni," Jian said, his voice carrying effortlessly over the wind. "The Resonance has reached the critical threshold. The world is waiting for the note to drop." Jinyan reached the terrace and stopped. He stood ten feet from Jian, his iron staff raised.

Again. Breathing deeply, he paved his way to the right wing of the place and headed to a huge garden located in the middle of the Palace. Large balls of energy were emitting different spectres of light to the surroundings. There was a stage situated a hundred steps away from him as people gathered around it. He walked a few steps ahead as he tried to look for his brother and mother on the stage. Instead he saw his father, a man in his mid 60's with a grey beard covering half of his face. He was wearing a green velvet robe bearing the Seal of the Guardians: a symbol of a fist wrapped in a circle. There were four others who stood beside him that wore the same robes with the seal.

“Yes. And if my brother’s been using it… it means someone in Galahad helped him.” Fayne’s face darkened. “Joren mentioned someone—someone higher up. They called him ‘The Watcher.’ Said they were orchestrating something from within.” My knees nearly buckled. The Watcher..My blood whispered with dread. I didn’t know who they were—but I would find out. Fayne stepped closer, his hand brushing mine. “We’re being gutted from the inside.” I nodded, throat tight. “They’ll regret underestimating me,” I said. “I’ll tear them from this pack one by one.”

FLASH BACK (Hours before the party) After the shopping with Gracie, I had forgotten my purse in one of her package and so I was heading to her room when I heard a disscussion between two guards "Wow what sort of watch is this?"the first guard asked as he stared at the other watch. "It's not just a watch,it's has a tracking device in it"the one with the watch replied "Really! Where did you get it from?"He asked "Well my girl bought it for me, she is worried about the work I do and so she has bought me a tracker to reach every where I go"he replied "Wish I had a girl friend too who knows she might also get me the tracking watch"the other said and they walked off.

Gryphon frowned at the interest his mother was showing. “What is this watch? It’s my first time seeing it. This isn’t from either Monarch or VNVS. Where did you buy it? It looks so… strange.” Parker stopped wringing Gryphon’s arm and received the watch from her son. She stared at its dark hues, but the silver frame and moonlight theme on the face made her feel sad. Then again, it also felt like acceptance… and worse, moving on. “Did you get it customized?”
