Light Bastion の小説・ストーリー

It was mid-afternoon, the violet sun casting long, beautiful shadows across the canopy, when the illusion was tested for the first time. Mwajuma and Zuri were conducting a standard patrol of the Lower Bastion—the deepest, thickest ring of interlocking roots that formed the foundation of the floating city. This area was not bathed in sunlight or decorated with hanging gardens. It was functional, damp, and heavily fortified with hardened petrified wood and heavy iron gates. It was the only barrier between the Cradle and the chittering, dark nightmare of the Savage Wilds thousands of feet below. As they walked past a massive, reinforced door set directly into the trunk of the central Mother-Tre

"Let's run before Sylas decides to grapple her way back up here." The Overwatch Bastion The Overwatch Bastion was perched on a sheer cliff of black rock overlooking the Titan's Gate. It was a brutalist structure of iron and ferrocrete, bristling with communication antennae and thick bundles of Aether-cables that fed power to the massive coastal artillery guns below. They reached the heavy blast doors of the control room. "Locked," Vane grunted, examining the heavy keypad. "And it's not a standard mag-lock. It’s a mechanical deadbolt reinforced with Aether-seals. You can't just melt it, Princess, or it fuses shut permanently."

Liam looked at me, a mixture of pride and unease in his eyes. "You're thinking like a predator, Luna," he said softly. "I am a predator," I whispered. Liam turned to Bastien. "Can you find out where he keeps his records? His leverage?" Bastien hesitated. "I was a low-level grunt. I didn't have access to the inner sanctum. But..." "But?" "I know someone who might," Bastien said. "There is a girl. In the compound. She sees everything because no one thinks she matters."

The ruined gates of the Southern bastion smoked with the toxic, violet static of the Eclipse. The three thousand Lycan warriors did not wait for the dust to clear or the rubble to settle. They poured through the shattered stone archway like an unleashed plague of fangs, muscle, and starlight, their bloodthirsty battle cries tearing through the pristine white-stone courtyard. Armored dire-wolves leaped over the smoking debris, their massive jaws snapping shut on the polished silver armor of the retreating Peacekeepers. The proud, pristine bastion that had stood for centuries as a symbol of Southern dominance was transformed into a slaughterhouse in a matter of heartbeats.

she says petting my head. "Lilith, where are we?" I ask her instead, I still had no idea where I'm, I just woke up here. "In Light&Fire academy, it's a school for dom and submissives," she says but I knew that. "I mean where are we? What country is this?" I ask her, are we still in London? US? Europe? "It's the land of dreams," she answer me with a wink, but I just glared at her. "Lilith, I'm serious, where are we?" I ask her again.

His demeanor was unreadable, but his presence was felt like an unsheathed blade. “Five of my best men are already positioned along the outer ridge,” Liang said calmly. “Two are specialists. You will not see them unless they want you to.” “I like ghosts,” Vulture muttered from his lounge chair beside the fireplace, Cassian nestled on his chest like a tiny prince. “So long as they don’t try to touch my bourbon.” Liang ignored him. “Another team will establish blind zones in your satellite perimeter, so nothing above can track what comes in or out.”

Chapter 25: Tense Alliance The glowing blue text of the system screen stayed right in front of my face, its bright light reflecting in my wide, tired eyes. My heart was pounding so hard against my ribs I was sure Justin could hear it. A base shield. If LUS was telling the truth, a physical energy barrier would change everything. I would not have to spend my days moving concrete blocks in the mud or worry about giant beasts jumping over my walls. The warehouse would be a safe place. I could finally sleep at night without waiting for the sound of scratching claws.

“Think about those girls upstairs. They are at risk right now. They are counting on you to protect them. How much longer do you think they will last? We are out of wolfsbane and up against a wall with hunters on our tails! And we both know we don’t have the number to try to fight our way out of that one. So, don’t you dare sit there and tell me that you are doing nothing… For your family. Because we both know that’s a lie.” “Just get out, Balthazar,” Grayson says, after a long minute. “Leave me alone.” “Look,” Bo says. “I still have contacts out in Nebraska.” “And?” “And, I can head out there. Let them know the situation and see if they would be willing to house the pack. If they say yes, yo

The young man gasped and hurriedly pulled him to the side of the castle wall. "What are those?" asked the young man, pointing at the charms that covered half of his left arm. "My mother gave them to me for protection." Dorin answered as he pulled his sleeve back down, but the man pulled it up again and looked at them closer. "A fire ward, a lightning ward, a wind enhancer... " "Oh, that's a wind debaser," Dorin interrupted, "It's used to lessen powerful magic..." "Yes, I know what a debaser is!" snapped the other. He looked up at Dorin and suddenly held out his hand with a grin. "By the way, my name is Lance Gunnar of the Gunnar family, military division, 1st lieutenant rank 5."

He also gritted his sharp fangs, channeling that he was ready to fight one on four. Margie tried to calm him down by saying, "Can you please back down? I don't want you to be harmed." "No, I can't. This is about your freedom, Margie." Bastian insisted to obey her suggestion. Without any discussion or second thoughts, Bastian went closer and attacked the safety guards brutally. As he landed on them, he scratched and bit their flashes. It caused the loud cries of the guards. "This wolf must be given a lesson!" The shorter safety guard tried to shoot Bastian, but the Alpha was cautios, so he bit the sniper and threw it aside.
