In Iuresta, where blood is forged in battle and crowns are claimed through glory, fate stirs once more. Solesse Radwynthe, born to a legendary general and the empire's greatest healer, inherits their legacies when both are taken by war, binding her to a path of magic, sacrifice, and duty she never chose. As ancient conflict reignites across the continent, her journey draws her beyond Reivara and into the shadow of Maylek, where she crosses paths with Prince Caelor Vashaven, a dragon shifter cursed at birth and unable to fully claim his power. Bound by prophecy and desperation, the prince believes Solesse's healing magic may be the key to breaking his curse, even if it means standing beside an enemy. With kingdoms on the brink of ruin and ancient magic awakening, Solesse must walk a road shaped by blood, flame, and choice, where salvation and destruction are separated by a single step.

In a world where the sun never sets, peace is not what it seems. Brighthaven is a place of endless daylight, where powerful beings live in secret among humans. There is no darkness to hide the truth, yet balance is kept through fear and silence. In Queens, New York, in the year 2050, a young man lives a normal life, unaware that he is connected to an ancient prophecy many believe is only a myth. When strange truths begin to appear, he is drawn to a place he once thought was not real-a world said to be perfect, bright, and free from darkness. But perfection can hide danger. Under the endless light, something is watching. Waiting for the right time to awaken. As the past begins to shape the future, the young man must face a hard truth: evil does not need darkness to exist. Some worlds cannot be saved. And some destinies were never meant to be chosen.

Olivia is sick. To her, the chronic illness she carried since childhood isn't just a medical condition-it is something that burden people she loves and something that keeps her chained. In her mind, she thought that she's irredeemable, a lost cause. With only a few months left to live, she has finally accepted the inevitable. She is going to die soon. But when her family moves to a remote province to care for her ailing grandmother, Olivia's quiet resignation is interrupted by Theron, the epitome of life itself-vibrant, gentle, persistent, and kind. He was all the things she never was. He was the light to her darkness, the summer in her winter. While she already accepted death with open arms, Theron refuses to embrace the arrival that reflected the ghost of his own. To him, life is meaningless if lived in despair, with only the quiet ache of death waiting at the door. And so, with only a few months left for the both of them, will he be able to pull her up or will he wither alongside with her? This is not a story of falling in love. This is a story of finally, being alive.

COMPLETED Published Since; August 25, 2020 Finished; August 20, 2021 - "Bakit ba mahal na mahal kita kahit bawal tayong dalawa para sa isa't isa?" I yelled as if he could understand what I was saying. "You're a Chinese, and I am a Filipina, we can't be together." "Why don't you fight with me, for this relationship? Pagod na pagod na akong marinig na mahal mo ako, pero wala kang ginagawa para ipaglaban kung anong meron tayo!" I was stunned to even speak. He... he just used my language.

🍊 Spectrum of Becoming #2 Past bruises could haunt you into the limits of your limbic system--triggering memories, emotions, and survival responses. Solara Kalista Villorente has been living with her lingering marks; it aches quietly, weighing on buried thoughts that stays in the parts she doesn't talk about. She arrives in Manila carrying more than just her bags from the province; together with it is a heart that is too soft, too fragile for the noise and haste of the city. With that, she learned to survive by becoming invisible. In that way, no one could hurt her--just like the bruises hidden on her back. Dahil ang pagiging biktima niya sa karahasan ay nagbigay duda sa sarili niyang tinig. Tila napakaliit ngunit napakaingay ng mundo para sa mga tulad niya. Kaius Jovan Alvarez notices the things others overlook. He observes and understands the silence that surrounds him. Higit sa lahat, kinasusuklaman niya ang hindi makatarungang pangmamaliit ng ibang tao sa kapwa nila. As the sky turns orange, their eyes will capture an epiphany of ending and beginning within them. Learning that they can be enough on their own, that change doesn't have to be loud; sometimes, it's as quiet and powerful as the sky changing colors.
