Blood Diamonds Tallinn Chapter 5
Needle in the Haystack Alex landed in Tallinn just after sunrise, the Baltic air still sharp with winter. He had showered quickly at the hotel the embassy had arranged, changed into clean clothes, and taken a taxi straight to the Police and Border Guard Board headquarters in the city center. By the time he walked in, a representative from the U.S. Embassy was already waiting in the small briefing room—a mid‑forties consular officer with a tired but steady gaze and a folder marked “Emma Carter –…-

Blood Diamonds Tallinn Chapter 4
Shattered Ice The room exploded. One second Emma was crouched by the door, trembling, the diamonds still glinting on the table like cursed stars. The next, Liina’s voice cut through the stunned silence. “Miko, get her—back door, now!” Her tone was sharp, no trace of the laughing sister from minutes ago. Miko didn’t hesitate. He grabbed Emma’s arm, yanking her up. Her legs wobbled, vision swimming. The diamonds, the vodka, the warmth of the stove—it all blurred into a sickening smear.…-

The Last Black Dragon Chapter 6
Bai Mu continued to argue earnestly, but I shot a fierce glare at Lady Bai, which only earned her a sharp tug backward from Bai Mu’s father. "Enough. I’ll handle this," he said, stepping forward calmly. Turning his attention to me, his tone softened a bit. "Are these children truly yours and Bai Mu’s?" I instinctively took a step back, clutching the dragon eggs tighter, reluctant to trust him. "They are my children. They have nothing to do with you," I said coldly. "Nothing to do with us?" he…-

The Last Black Dragon Chapter 5
By now, he locked me inside the barrier, trapped but not neglected. He delivered three meals a day, always heavy with large fish and rich meats. I was eating quite well, but there was no way for me to leave. "When are you going to let me out?" I asked bluntly, wanting to hear what Bai Mu was really thinking. He sneered, pride shining in his eyes. "You still want to go out? From now on, you live here. When I feel like it, maybe I’ll consider letting you leave." "My precious Bai Mu, are you turning dark…-

The Last Black Dragon Chapter 4
I found a picturesque spot in the human world, a tranquil mountain valley with crystal clear streams and lush greenery, and set up a protective barrier to claim it as my new dragon nest. Worried that Bai Mu, my little white dragon, might cause trouble or try to find me, I kept myself in human form and wandered subtly among the crowds of mortals. With so many people in the world, there was no way he could track me down in this lifetime. I cherished the five black eggs like priceless treasures, diligently…-

The Pyramid Chapter 11
THE TEAR OF GOD RA "I summoned you," she said softly. "I'm glad that you thought enough of me to come." He remained silent. It was the only thing that he could do. No one was supposed to have enough presence of mind, or of breath, even, when spoken to by the goddess, to reply unless expressly ordered to do so. "Enter. Don't be afraid." Then, reading his thought: "We'll forget all about what happened over in the pyramid." He suspected that she was lying, but he felt a certain sense of relief at…-

The Pyramid Chapter 10
THE UNDERGROUND PALACE Menni, governor of the Royal Palace, still distraught, still more or less sick at heart, despite his well-known courage and resourcefulness, had accompanied the royal party back from the pyramid and, as usual when feeling like that, resolved to find comfort in work. There was plenty to do. Not since the days of the "great ones of Abydos," the founders of the empire, had the activities of "the one who lives at Memphis" achieved such a scale of magnificence. The double palace of…-

The Pyramid Chapter 9
PLOTS AND COUNTER PLOTS Had the wide world been searched for the purpose a more striking contrast could not have been found—Netokris—refreshed, but still languorous after her bath and breakfast—and the creature who squatted on the floor there in front of her. He was jet black, short and broad, had a huge and hideous head, made to appear still larger by the crinkly mane of black outstanding wool. The blackness of his skin was accentuated by the white sheet he had drawn about him. No one else…-

Blood Diamonds Tallinn Chapter 2
Shadows in the Fairy Tale The van rattled over cobblestones, and Emma's stomach flipped with every jolt. Tallinn unfolded like a storybook come alive—pastel wooden houses huddled shoulder-to-shoulder, their gingerbread trim painted in faded blues and yellows. Chimneys puffed lazy smoke into the pearl-gray sky, and the air carried hints of woodsmoke and fresh bread. Kalamaja, Liina had called it. "Our bohemian heart," she'd typed in countless messages. Now, it washed over Emma like balm, dulling the…-

Blood Diamonds Tallinn Chapter 1
Wings to the Unknown Emma stared at the flickering screen of her laptop, the glow casting shadows across her cramped Brooklyn apartment. It was past midnight, and the city outside hummed with its usual chaos—sirens wailing, neighbors arguing through thin walls. But her world had narrowed to one tab: a Facebook profile photo of Liina, grinning against a backdrop of medieval spires and snow-dusted forests. Tallinn, Estonia. A place she'd never heard of until a random comment on a travel subreddit led…-
