Novel & Cerita Whispering Echoes

The whispers-fragmented, ethereal, sounding like a thousand voices speaking in a single breath, echoed in the hollows of her mind. *She will awaken.* *When the alignment...* *It’s time.* A shiver traced the length of her spine. Those voices hadn't sounded like strangers; they had sounded like an echo of something she had forgotten, a dormant part of her soul waking up from a long slumber. Who were they? What "alignment" were they speaking of? And why did the mere thought of it make her heart hammer against her ribs with a mixture of dread and longing? The questions continued to circle her mind, each one leading to another with no clear answer. She tried to make sense of them, but the more sh

My lungs could barely pull in air with him so close. I sighed deeply, trying to regain some control, some clarity. But it was useless. Daimon surrounded me from all sides—with his presence, his touch, his voice, his scent. I was sinking into him. It was then that I heard them. The whispers. They came with the wind, like an ancient lament, almost ethereal, wrapping around us. The temperature seemed to drop for a second, but his heat kept me alive. The whispers swirled around us, spinning like an invisible dance, scraping at the senses, and then a single word echoed clearly:

🌑 Chains of Eternity The silence between the shattering echoes pressed down heavier than steel. Each reflection stood at the edge of becoming, their pale skin flickering with the strange half-light of the labyrinth. They whispered, not loudly, but insistently—threads of poison weaving into the ears of their counterparts.

A fragile, quiet, sacred beginning. Born not from grand words. But from a garden. A cat. A lake. And two people who had finally learned how to come home. the deepest apologies aren’t spoken in anger — they’re whispered in stillness, with a shoulder brushing a knee, and the unspoken promise that this time, neither of them will let go.

Each person holds a token: a name carved in wood, a piece of a song, a scrap of a letter, a face drawn in ash. Esi begins the chant. Tano repeats it. Ekow hums a melody older than speech. And Mira lifts her arms to the sky. > “We are the river’s blood.” > “We are the unforgotten.” > “We are the stories that burn.” > “We are louder than silence.” --- The Whisperless approach — dozens of them. But this time, they do not float. They fall. Their forms crack and crumble as the voices rise. Some writhe, folding in on themselves.

Nichola’s pov.. The loud crash jolted Nicholas awake. He sat up in bed, heart pounding, and glanced at the clock: 3:00 AM. Groaning, he threw off the covers and stumbled out of bed. The noise had come from downstairs, from the direction of the mansion's grand hall. I crept down the hallway, the old wooden floorboards creaking beneath my feet. As I neared the hall, I could hear frantic shouting. "Dad?" I called out, my voice barely a whisper.

A soft giggle. The telltale creak of Sienna’s door opening and closing. Ethan’s pulse drummed in his ears. He squeezed his eyes shut, pressing his pillow against his face, desperate to drown out the sounds. But it was no use. His mind filled in the blanks, painting vivid pictures of what was happening just a few feet away. The rustle of clothing. A quiet murmur. A breathless moan.

“What does this mean?” “They’re dead zones.” “No one returned?” He nodded. “No one.” My gaze lingered on the black markings. “They’re that dangerous?” “Worse.” He tapped another section. “This area is called the Whispering Gorge.” “The voices there imitate people you know.” “If you answer them…” He didn’t finish. He didn’t need to. I already understood. My fingers unconsciously tightened around the edge of the table. He moved to another location. “This is the Valley of Broken Gravity.”

I called out for Delph, voice trembling: “Delph… are you here?” Silence answered. Then, faintly, my voice returned, distorted, warped, almost mocking. “Delph… here…” The echo dragged the words, twisting them into something unfamiliar. I swallowed hard. This was not a place of reality; it was a reflection of fear, of possibility, of everything unseen.
