World Keeper Novels & Stories

I asked, my voice steady despite the tension coiling in my muscles. The elderly woman smiled slightly, though there was no warmth in the expression. "We are the Keepers of the Lunaris Bloodline," she said simply. "The guardians who have watched over the descendants for generations, waiting for the moment when a viable vessel would finally emerge and the awakening could begin."

The paternity test results no longer swayed the comments in the livestream. "Jesus, those injuries were all drawn on by herself? I don't trust that paternity test anymore." "I have a thought. What if this housekeeper stole a used condom from her employer?" "This has to be a reversal. Either the housekeeper seduced the professor, or she used some kind of shady technology." "This livestream is insane." ... I watched comment after comment scroll past the screen, my emotions surging. At last, I had escaped this wave of online abuse. At the very least, public opinion had begun to tilt in my favor.

Jessica kept screaming, "Who do you think you are?! You're nothing but a leech!" "I told you, I'm his sister! If you don't believe me, ask Dennis yourself! Call him right now, and I'll speak to him!" I tried to explain, but she didn't care at all. She only raised her hand and stopped the assault when I grew dizzy and everything started spinning.

I tried to pass off the inquiry casually, just making boring small talk. But Mars' eyes widened so huge I worried they might actually fall out of his skull. He clutched the edges of the desk, leaning forward eagerly. "Dragonkeepers? Why, they're the absolute stuff of legends! Almost nothing is reliably documented given how unbelievably scarce true keepers are. But the texts speculate..." He was off and running, no further prompting needed. As Mars launched into a rapid-fire data dump about keeper lineage and mythical powers, I nodded along, trying not to get overwhelmed. Guess I'd tapped into his specialty subject! This was gold intel.

“If the veiled serpent is a disgraced Keeper, we need to know more about him before proceeding.” He’d tried gathering information about the veiled serpent before, but the mysterious figure remained elusive like a shadow. There was no real information about him, except that he was rumoured to be a former Keeper. But Kain dismissed this notion as hogwash. It seemed like a carefully concocted lie meant to intimidate those looking for him. Keepers were renowned for their lifelong commitment to their duties, never retiring nor facing disgrace. The idea that one of them could become an exiled outcast felt implausible. The lack of concrete information about him left him frustrated and unsure how to

The man behind the bars scoffed, shaking his head. I walked past the two shifters, and Sebastian followed. When we were in the hallway, I turned to him. "Be careful. He's the Hunter that wiped out The Skyefrost Pack. And I found out that it was my pack. He was also the one who killed River." I let out a deep breath, keeping my voice low. "He thinks all shifters are abominations and that he's doing God's work by ridding the planet of all supernatural creatures."

The survivors nearby watched nervously. Waiting. Hoping Renn would explain. Instead he whispered a single sentence. "The legends were true." A knot formed in my stomach. "What legends?" Renn stared toward the distant horizon. Toward the thirteen rising fortresses. Toward the giants awakening beneath the earth. "The Keeper." The word carried weight. Ancient weight. "What keeper?" The old scholar swallowed. "The Keeper of the Key." The world seemed to grow colder. Even the fire beside us dimmed slightly. As though reality itself was listening.

Bring her back. She turned. Diva's heart shattered—relief, anger, grief colliding. She wailed aloud. "Derek, no." He hesitated, doubt in his eyes. Eamon pushed back his hood, and the Keeper's face was revealed—another, one they did not know. The genuine Keeper smiled. "I keep the relic safe from those who would abuse it. Light and dark alike." Derek stepped forward, the sword falling from his grasp with a clatter. "Keep back from her."

He said. “Ok good. Well, the necklace wasn’t just a necklace. It was an Amulet. And apparently Katrina is a Keeper. The Keepers are a group of people who protect the Amulet from a group known as The Others. I had been wearing the amulet this whole fucking time, and had no idea that it was anything other than a necklace. You remember Ivy, my mate?” I asked him.

"How... How did this happen... I thought it was just..." "Sienna, please wake up..." Dad kept repeating my name through choked sobs, tears streaming down his face. "Daddy's here to bring you home." He looked at the dark red stains covering the floor, his whole body shaking. The storage room was filled with nothing but my parents' anguished cries and broken sobs.
