Everyone has a breaking point. That moment in life when the disappointments of family, friends, work, romance and life have left her feeling defeated and empty. Frustrated. Alone and exhausted. That moment when SOMETHING has to give. Sometimes, finding reason to keep fighting requires looking in unconventional places. Sometimes, getting through the storm means you have to lean in to it. For Song Taylor and Zyah Savoy, that moment arrives when their worlds collide on a bitterly winter night in a decrepit, run-down night club in the middle of nowhere. After a lifetime of betrayal and disappointment, two women from vastly different worlds must decide if they have enough trust left to take a leap of faith and become friends. Join them as they begin stripping away years of regret and loss and discover if they can make each other stronger and more amazing than either of them ever imagined they could be. With pen and piano, they look to smash through their breaking point and maybe find healing and sisterhood. Through struggle and triumph, laughter and tears, music and poetry, they see if they can forge a bond strong enough to change their lives.

11x featured wattpad story. Before everything, it's assumed there was nothing, but what if there was no real difference between the two? Just two extreme philosophies from the first conflict. The planet Huom has been under observation for longer than should technically be possible. The primary watcher, a bitter black hole, is excited to see that there is finally a proverbial Darkness at the end of the tunnel. Meanwhile, on the planet, in the freezing mountains of Empris, Lyeasrakardsul, the oldest living sorcerer, suffers from devastating nightmares. At the same time, far away in the sandstone desert of Zenon, Herschel, a man filled to the brim with weird ideas is escaping a prison filled with strange old men. What does all this have to do with arsehole Gods, hairy Dwarfs, frustrated Afreets, curious Knomes, lizard-women, and nude Áettar? Perhaps Nothing, perhaps Everything... but why can't it be both?
