Where The Heart Is Novels & Stories

"We can force him to open the valves. We can survive this. Just don't become what he wants you to be." Kael looked at Vane, then at Julian, then at the swirling vortex of necrotic energy currently devouring the floor of the foundry. The light was intensifying, turning from violet to a blinding, scorching white. "The valves won't matter," Kael said, his voice strangely calm. "The heart is already here. It isn't in the machines, Julian. It’s inside me. It’s always been inside me." "What are you talking about?" Julian asked, his voice trembling as the rumble of the collapsing building grew to a deafening roar.

He said pointing at his heart which was hidden behind the flesh on his left side chest. "I want to see him more often," she mumbled. "He is always here, he is going nowhere." He kissed her hand again.

If he overuses his magic, I'm afraid he'll meet the same end as in the novel. "Okay," Gray said, patting the chair next to him and motioning for me to join him. "I've been thinking about your situation." "I sense that you actually have a lot of magic in your body, but you just can't mobilize it." "Human magic is generally born in the heart, and with each heartbeat, it is transported to the limbs along with the blood. When magicians want to use it, they must use the heart as the core, so that the magic ripples outward like waves."

Elara admitted, pushing herself up. “I can tell. You look plain,” Maggie noted, sitting on the edge of the bed beside her. “Where is Lucien?” “He’s in the living room, darling.” “What’s he doing here?” “Well, it’s his house,” Maggie said with a small, knowing smile. “Right…” Elara muttered. “You should get dressed, dear. Your food will be waiting on the dining table.” With a gentle pat on the knee, Maggie left the room.

asked Young Ho coming next to her. “See, recall human anatomy, the heart is located in the chest between the lungs behind the sternum and above the diaphragm. It is surrounded by the pericardium which protects it. The centre of heart is located about 1.5 cm to the left of the midsagittal plane that’s why it is more towards left side but I think it is not the case in his condition” said Lily in a robotic tone. “Yeah, but it is more towards left side. See, this area where she staked is the perfect position for staking but he is not dead somehow and I can’t figure out why!!!” said Young Ho in frustration.

I look away, staring at my shoes, I mumble in a voice. "I am sorry Mam. I don't know the answer." As I look up, she behaves like my words didn't reach her ears. "Come on Jacqueline. Answer it. We don't have all day!" "I." A voice beat me before I could speak more than a syllable. "Septum. The right and the left region of the heart are separated by a wall of muscle called the Septum." Just when he finishes the answer everyone's head turns towards him with lightning speed.

I fell back into Edward’s arms, gasping, the smell of earth and smoke filling my lungs. Aaron crouched beside me. “What did you see?” I told them everything. The chamber. The heart. Velaris’s warning. Aaron’s expression turned grim. “So, there is a core. A heart of the Gate.” Edward helped me to my feet. “And it’s calling her there. Which means we find it first.” “Easier said than done,” Aaron muttered. “If Velaris sealed it, it could be anywhere in the world.” But I already knew where. The image of the crystal veins on the mountainside burned behind my eyes. “It’s beneath us,” I said quietly. “Under the old capital. The veins are leading straight to it.”

“You would like me to meet him?” she asked softly. “Yes,” Garrett replied as he brushed her off her face. The silence filled the room as they stared at each other in the low light of the room now. The couch was near the furthest place in the room from the light in the corner of the room. Though it was open, this was a corner that was just for him to relax and unwind during the day. He knew the placement was off, but it worked for him. “I think you, out of everyone in the world, need one person who can show you how to love again.”

"She was stabbed with a poisoned knife in the chest to the left, but according to the doctors that her checked, they found out she has Dextrocardia. Which means her heart is to the right side of her chest. Her heart wasn't injured, but the poison had started to get into her system, she had an antidote already, but we are waiting for it to take effect. She told me never to give her any medications no matter what happens, as they would complicate the effect of the antidote. So, I am waiting until she regains her consciousness," Lucien explained with pained expressions.

He hated saying all of that, as he wasn't sure where Finn's heart stood towards this girl back in Philly. The tortured look on Finn's face said it all. There was a part of him that still loved her but he knew that she was part of his old world, a part he wasn't willing to go back to; not if he didn't want to end up on an ice cold steel table with a cloth covering his dead body.
