The Hollow Moon
Maeson felt the cold wind rush past her face. She fell fast through the deep dark pit. The broken glass from the floor fell beside her. The pieces looked like tiny bright stars in the black air. She reached out and grabbed the small hand of her young brother. Ava and Kael dropped right next to them in the dark. The loud boom of the dying moon base echoed high above their heads. The cruel dark fleet was bombing the surface into dust. Maeson closed her eyes and focused her mind on a safe landing.She called upon the blue light inside her heart. The warm glow spread down her arms and out to her friends. A soft cushion of energy formed under their fast falling bodies. They hit the energy net and bounced once. The net lowered them to a hard stone floor. The blue light faded away into the dark shadows. Maeson took a deep breath of the stale air. The air smelled like old rust and dry dirt. She let go of her brother and stood up on her feet. Her legs shook but she did not fall down again."Is
The Shattered Seed
Maeson stared at the woman by the crystal tree. Her face was identical but her eyes held pure malice. The evil woman smiled and stepped onto the wet metal floor. The blue water splashed against her dark boots. The young boy cried out from inside the red energy cage. He held his burned hands close to his small chest. The giant light dragon roared and flapped its bright wings. The hot wind from the wings pushed Kael behind a broken metal plate. The giant wolf growled low and showed sharp teeth of bright white energy.Ava gripped her sharp blade and stood in front of Maeson. She kept her eyes on the huge wolf. The evil woman laughed a cold laugh. She pointed a finger at Maeson. "You think you can save the earth today," the woman mocked. "I am the true backup file. The game master locked me down here to guard the real seed. You are just a weak copy with a broken heart." Maeson felt the anger rise inside her chest. She refused to let this cruel shadow win. She pushed the fear away and call
The White Clock
The blinding white light filled the round room with a heavy heat. Maeson raised her hands to shield her tired eyes. The terrible voice boomed from the center of the broken glass. It did not sound like the game master or the evil copy. The voice was ancient and deep. It sounded like grinding stones deep under the earth. The countdown started with a loud chime. Ten minutes remained until the whole world turned to dust. Maeson blinked and looked through her fingers. The giant light dragon froze in place. The hot fire in its mouth stopped moving. The evil woman stood frozen with a cruel smile on her face. Time stopped for the guardians and the dark copy.But time did not stop for Maeson and her brave friends. Kael groaned and sat up on the wet metal floor. Ava rushed to his side and checked his burned shoulder. The young boy ran to Maeson and held her dark coat. He pointed at the broken glass sphere. The sharp pieces floated in the bright air. They formed a large circle of glowing numbers
The Deep Root
Maeson held the warm glass sphere in her two hands. She looked down the hidden stairs under the crystal tree. The tall man in the dark did not move once. Ava pointed her sharp blade at the quiet tall figure. Kael gripped his heavy rod.The young boy hid behind the dark coat of Maeson. He peeked over her shoulder with wide and fearful eyes. The air smelled like old rain and deep wet earth. Maeson took a slow step down the ancient stone path. Her boots made a soft sound on the cold rock.The green glow from the sphere lit up the walls. Strange symbols covered the stone walls from top to bottom. Maeson did not recognize the ancient language of the builders. She took another step and kept her bright eyes open. The tall man at the bottom raised his right hand.He held a small lantern that burned with red fire. The red light hit his face and showed his features. Maeson gasped loud and almost dropped the fragile glass sphere. The man looked exactly like the first original human architect. He
The Dark Beast
The thick smoke filled the bright room. The loud boom hurt their ears. A giant dark figure stepped through the broken steel frame. He stood ten feet tall. He wore thick black armor covered in sharp spikes. In his left hand he held the glowing head of the light dragon. The blue light from the dragon faded and died. The dark figure threw the heavy head onto the metal floor. The head made a loud thud and shattered into tiny pieces of blue glass. Maeson felt her heart beat fast in her chest. She raised her hands and called upon her blue magic again.Ava tightened her grip on her sharp blade. Kael stood firm with his heavy rod. The young boy hid behind the original human architect. The architect looked at the dark giant with deep fear in his eyes. "That is the warden," the architect warned them in a quiet voice. "He guards the gates of the dead zone. The virus sent him to destroy the red memory drive." The warden turned his head. Two burning red eyes glared from under a heavy iron helmet.
The Black Gate
The red warning flashed on the glass screen. Ava ran toward the closing black hole. She did not want to lose Kael to the nightmare world. She dove into the cold dark air just as the portal shrank to the size of a coin. Maeson reached out to grab her brave friend but she was too slow. Ava vanished into the dark void. The black hole collapsed with a loud snap. The bright engine room fell silent. Maeson dropped to her knees on the broken metal floor. She stared at the empty space where her two loyal friends once stood.The young boy ran up to his brave sister. He placed his small hand on her tired shoulder. He wanted to offer her warm comfort. The original human architect walked over to them. His face looked very grim and pale in the bright light. He looked at the burn marks on the floor. He let out a long sigh of deep regret. He knew the dead zone was a terrible place. The virus used the dark realm to punish the lost souls. The giant warden would take Kael to the deepest prison pit. Ava
The Hidden King
The true game master walked out from the dark shadows of the broken metal hill. He did not look like the older man in the white suit from the moon base. He looked like a creature made of dark smoke and red fire. His eyes glowed with a sick yellow light. He stepped onto the gray sand with silent feet. The giant monster dropped his huge green sword on the ground. The tall warden fell to both knees and bowed his heavy head. The true master of the dead zone had arrived right here today. Maeson waited now.She pushed her young brother behind her back to keep him safe. The true game master smiled a cruel smile. His teeth looked like jagged pieces of broken glass. He raised a hand made of swirling dark mist. He pointed a long finger at the brave sister. He spoke with a voice that sounded like grinding metal and crying children. He said he was very glad to see her in his true home. He told her the physical world and the moon base were just small toys. The dead zone was the real foundation of
The Sky Crack
The giant crack in the yellow sky grew wide and deep. Bright white light poured from the broken space above their heads. The dead zone was falling apart. The true game master was dead and his dark magic could not hold this nightmare realm together anymore. The ground shook with a heavy violent force. Huge pieces of the gray sand broke off and floated up into the air. Maeson held the hand of her young brother tight. She looked up at the tearing sky with wide eyes. The millions of freed souls began to float toward the bright white crack."We have to follow them right now," the young boy shouted over the loud noise. "The whole zone is collapsing into the dark void." Maeson nodded her head and looked back at her two loyal friends. Ava dropped the broken pieces of her sharp blade on the sand. Kael rubbed his sore neck and prepared to run. They needed a path to reach the high crack in the sky. The ground below them split wide open. A deep dark canyon formed right between their boots. Maeson
The Starlight Judge
The tall being of starlight and shadow stood like a statue in the white stone room. Maeson felt a cold chill run down her spine. The quiet words of the strange creature echoed inside her tired mind. The long simulation is over. She looked at Ava and Kael. They both looked back with wide eyes full of deep fear. The young boy held the hand of his sister tight. He did not speak one word. The glass floor beneath their boots showed the blue earth far below. The earth looked like a spinning marble today.Maeson took a slow step forward. She wanted to know the true meaning of the real test. She raised her head and looked into the blank face of the star being. She asked the creature what it meant by those harsh words. The being pointed a long finger at the glass floor. The voice filled their minds one more time. The voice explained that the game master was just a small program. The original human architect was a simple code builder. The real creators of the vast universe were watching them fr
The Red Crack
Maeson sat on the throne of pure light and watched the smooth white wall. A loud harsh noise echoed in the giant round room. The peaceful song of the universe stopped right away. A jagged line formed on the perfect stone surface. The thin crack glowed with a sick red light. Maeson felt a cold chill run down her spine. The cosmic power inside her veins began to pulse with a warning. She stood up from her invisible seat. She walked toward the broken wall with careful steps. The red light grew bright and hurt her new cosmic eyes now.She raised her hand to heal the broken stone. Her blue magic mixed with the bright starlight. She pushed the healing energy into the red crack. The stone did not mend. The red light pushed her magic back with a heavy force. Maeson stumbled backward and fell to the clear glass floor. She looked down at the blue planet. The earth spun in quiet peace. The people down there did not know about this new danger. She had to protect them from this fresh threat. She s
