Being sold To The Highest Bidder Chapter 14: The Path to Shadows
The dawn's early light found the group poring over ancient texts and scrolls, trying to find any mention of the Lost City of Shadows. The constellation's emblem, so clearly etched in the night sky, served as both a beacon and a mystery.Seraphina, her fingers tracing an old map, remarked, "Legends speak of a city hidden from time, where shadows dance with reality. But no one has ever found it, or if they did, they never returned to tell the tale."Eryx, his gaze fixed on the emblem she had sketched, mused, "Perhaps it wasn't meant to be found until now. The Crypt's challenges, the convergence, it all seems to be leading us there."Dupree, sharpening his blade, added, "Legends or not, we need to be prepared. The path to this city will be fraught with danger."Lysandra, reading from an ancient tome, shared, "The city is said to be located in the Veiled Mountains, a range few have ventured to and even fewer have returned from. It's surrounded by the Enchanted Forest, a place where time d
Being sold To The Highest Bidder Chapter 15: Whispers in the Walls
The group was encircled by the ever-moving walls of the labyrinth, the once gentle glow now dimming to a faint, eerie luminescence. The air grew cold, and a palpable tension settled over them.Moros, his voice edged with frustration, remarked, "We've faced countless challenges, yet this living maze might be our undoing."Lysandra, pressing her ear against the shifting walls, whispered, "The walls, they're... speaking. Whispers, faint memories of the city."Dupree, skeptical, asked, "Can you understand them?"Lysandra closed her eyes, focusing. "Not entirely, but there are fragments. They speak of a bond, an understanding between the heart of the city and its inhabitants."Eryx, looking at the shard glowing in his arm, mused, "If the heart chose me, there must be a reason. Perhaps it's trying to communicate through the maze itself."Don Julio, recalling the ancient texts they had studied, said, "Legends spoke of the city's heart being not just a guardian but also a bridge between world
Being sold To The Highest Bidder Chapter 16: Council of Time
The interior of the citadel was a marvel of both archaic design and futuristic innovation. Statues of figures from the past stood juxtaposed with shimmering holographic displays showcasing events from various timelines. At the heart of the chamber sat a semi-circular table, and behind it were twelve figures, each representing a distinct era of history.Eryx, taking in the sight, murmured, "This must be the Temporal Council."Seraphina, pointing at one of the figures, whispered, "Look, that's Aeliana! But she seems... different here."Aeliana, or the version of her in this timeline, stood with an air of authority. She acknowledged the group with a nod but remained silent, allowing the central figure at the table to address them.The central figure, an elderly man with a beard that shimmered like the cosmos itself, spoke, "I am Chronos, the Timekeeper, and leader of the Temporal Council. You've caused quite a stir in our timeline."Dupree, stepping forward, replied, "We never intended a
Being sold To The Highest Bidder Chapter 17: Echos of Despair
As I stood before the imposing entrance of the temple, the weight of our decisions pressed down on me. The haunting voice that echoed from within sent shivers down my spine, and I could sense the palpable anxiety of the group. The Lost City, my home, was in jeopardy, and we were at the heart of it.The eerie stillness was unnerving. "We can't waste any more time," I whispered, taking the lead. The familiar halls of the temple felt different, like walking through a dream. The walls, which usually gleamed with radiant light, were now dim, the intricate carvings seeming to mourn the city's fate.Dupree, closely following, remarked, "The Nexus has always been a source of power and guidance. But now, it feels like a wounded animal, lashing out."Eryx, holding the shard close to his heart, mused, "The bond between the Nexus and the shard is unique. Maybe it holds the key to reversing this."I approached the temple's central chamber, where the Nexus had always resided. The usually vibrant or
Being sold To The Highest Bidder Chapter 18: Echoes from Eons Past
I stood there, frozen in place, my gaze fixed on Seraphina. Those deep cosmic purple eyes were both familiar and alien. The atmosphere inside the temple was charged with the weight of the ancient prophecy pressing down on us."Seraphina?" My voice wavered, trying to reach out to her, hoping that some part of the woman I love was still present.She slowly turned to face me, her expression serene, as if she had glimpsed the vastness of the cosmos. "Eryx," she whispered, her voice layered with countless ages, "We are but stars in a vast sky, bound by destiny's tapestry."Dupree, his voice thick with concern, approached cautiously, "What did the chest show you, Seraphina?"She glanced at the ornate box, now silent and still. "Visions of a time long past, a tale of love and betrayal, of cosmic alignments and rifts torn in the very fabric of existence. Our paths, Eryx's and mine, are older than we thought."Lysandra, her curiosity evident, pressed, "Tell us more. We need to understand."Wit
Being sold To The Highest Bidder Chapter 19: Beyond the Cosmic Veil
The silence that followed Seraphina's disappearance was deafening. I stood there, paralyzed, the after-image of the vortex still seared into my retinas. The weight of what had just happened pressed down on me like a thousand suns. Seraphina was gone, whisked away to some unknown realm, and the burning void left in her absence threatened to consume me.Dupree, always one to act, shouted, "We need to find her, now!"Lysandra, her gaze fixed on the spot where the vortex had been, murmured, "The energy that took her... it's not just from this temple. It's ancient, cosmic even."Moros, looking equally concerned, added, "We've encountered many energies before, but this... this was different. As if it spanned dimensions."As the weight of despair threatened to drown me, my father's voice cut through, filled with determination, "We can't stand here pondering. We must act. Seraphina is strong; she'll hold on. But it's up to us to find a way to bring her back."I nodded, pushing through the haz
Being sold To The Highest Bidder Chapter 20: Trials of the Soul
The walls crept closer, their menacing advance accompanied by the ghostly whispers of ages past. My heartbeat echoed loudly in my ears, every thud a stark reminder of the narrowing window of time.In a desperate bid, I called out, "Seraphina! Can you hear me?"The temple responded with an eerie silence, broken only by a soft, melancholic hum. As I strained my ears, trying to discern its source, a path illuminated on the floor, winding its way through the maze-like interior.Trusting my instincts, I followed the path, each turn leading me deeper into the temple's heart. Along the way, ethereal apparitions appeared, each a fragment of my memories with Seraphina. Some were joyous, others fraught with tension, but all were testaments to our bond.A soft voice, unmistakably Seraphina's, resonated from the shadows. "Do you remember our promise, Eryx?"A memory surfaced—Seraphina and I, under a canopy of stars, hands intertwined, swearing to always find our way back to each other, no matter
Being sold To The Highest Bidder Chapter 21: Whispers of Meranthia
The ship was inexorably drawn into the vortex, its timbers groaning in protest. The crew scrambled, shouting commands and trying to stabilize the vessel, but it was evident that the pull of Meranthia was too potent to resist.Seraphina and I locked eyes, the same thought was shared between us: We needed to take control. Breaking away from the railing, we made our way to the center of the ship, where a large, ornate compass was embedded into the deck. It glowed faintly, pulsating in tandem with the portal's rhythm."The heart of the ship," the old sailor murmured, appearing beside us. "Legend speaks of it being tied to Meranthia, though none have seen the city in eons.""If it's connected," I mused, "then perhaps we can use it to navigate through the portal safely."Seraphina knelt beside the compass, her fingers delicately tracing its intricate engravings. "There's an inscription here... It's in the ancient tongue, but I think it's a riddle.""Read it out," I urged.She cleared her th
