Истории Burning

Humanity survives behind rows of towering crosses, clinging to life while the wasteland beyond crawls with drudges-vampire‑zombie creatures born during the world's collapse. The Catholic Church stands as the last bastion of hope, its holy knights battling the darkness and its white‑clad Angels using rare empathic gifts to help the broken. Kayla is the strongest Angel alive... which makes her the perfect target. When she is kidnapped by a Blue Blood-an elite, beautiful, and monstrous vampire marked in distinctive tattoos-her fate seems sealed. Until she is rescued by a stranger who should not exist. Tempest Glaive, the Sovereign Vampire, has wandered the wasteland for two thousand years, hunting the very creatures he was cursed to rule. Once the legendary commander of the holy knights, now the most feared vampire alive, he despises what he has become. Saving Kayla was never part of his mission. Loving her was unthinkable. But when they return to the Vatican City, they find it infiltrated by Blue Bloods. Angels have been stolen and the pope murdered. The sanctuary of humanity is crumbling from within-Kayla and Tempest are the only ones who can stop the coming slaughter. To save the last human stronghold, they must fight side by side against enemies wearing familiar faces. To stay together, they must defy a world that forbids their love. And as darkness rises, one truth becomes impossible to ignore: The greatest threat to the world may not be the monsters outside the walls... but the forbidden bond growing between an Angel and the vampire king who was never meant to love her.

You'll discover: Why high insulin - not calories - is the real reason you can't lose weight How visceral fat (the dangerous fat around your organs) silently damages your health What happens in your body during 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours of fasting - step by step Why fasting preserves muscle while burning fat (unlike calorie restriction) How to reverse insulin resistance and restore your body's natural fat-burning ability Simple lifestyle habits to keep insulin low - for life This isn't another diet book. It's a science-backed guide to understanding your own biology - so you can finally work with your body instead of against it.

--- ### **Chapter 1: The Ash of Valencia** The story opens in 1612 within the walls of the Kasbah of the Udayas in Salé. It introduces **Ibrahim Vargas**, who stands overlooking the Atlantic, clutching a charred fragment of the vessel that carried his family into exile following their expulsion from Spain. * **Core Theme:** The chapter captures the suppressed rage and the complex identity of the Moriscos who have lost their ancestral homeland. * **The Conflict:** The dialogue centers on the shift from mere survival to active defiance. Ibrahim rejects the status of a passive refugee, declaring his intent to turn the mouth of the Bou Regreg into a "foundry of vengeance" against the Spanish Crown, setting the stage to challenge the massive galleons with agile, deadly ships. ### **Chapter 2: The Republic's Iron Forge** This chapter shifts to the technical and industrial heart of the nascent pirate republic. The banks of the Bou Regreg are transformed into a bustling, clandestine shipyard. * **Core Theme:** The transformation of survivors into warriors. Farmers and artisans who were once forced to leave their homes are now forging cannons and modifying firearms, such as early flintlock mechanisms, adapted specifically for maritime warfare. * **Military Preparation:** We are introduced to the **"Reis" (Captain)**-a seasoned veteran-who oversees the training of young men in close-quarters naval combat. The training emphasizes that at sea, warfare is not a noble dance but a brutal struggle for survival and the reclamation of honor. ---

To the World, he's the Devil. To her, he's nothing. And that is exactly why he will never let her go!!! You call it Obsession? I call it Devotion....and by the time I'm done, Luna, you won't need that scarf to hide. You'll only have me to Cling to!!!

She's so alone. Always alone. She can't find anyone that's would take her, after what's happened to her. Her parents abandoned her, her so called "boyfriend" abandoned her. She's all alone now. He's done some things he's not so proud of, and he's hoping a new start will erase all the bad, but when he moved he didn't expect to find someone so alone, so scared, so weak. He just had to help her, he had to make sure she was ok, he had to take care of her, no matter what. And he didn't even know anything about her yet!! He just had to keep her safe, but she wouldn't let him. She pushed him away so he couldn't help her. She doesn't want him to help. She hates him, yet she doesn't even know him. She doesn't want to let anyone inside her heart, it's to broken. Is this story just doomed for sadness? Or can they maybe find some happiness somewhere? Read and find out. Up for the Watty Awards, so vote and comment please. Thank you.

Three words can change a person's life in moments. ‘I love you’, ‘I hate you’, ‘leave me alone’, ‘I am pregnant’, ‘go do it’, ‘she is mine’ and countless more. Each of these phrases were about to play a huge part in Braiz'es life only she didn’t realize just how drastically they would.

A small collection of poems that I wrote during my venting and calming sessions. I occasionally have them when I am either very upset, emotional or excited. Hope you all enjoy.

All stories/poems are my own. They came from a dark place that nk o one knows. Im still there its not that bad. I've learn to deal, so no ones mad. My grandma says im fine, mom can't care. John aka my dad isn't here. At least not alot its just not fair. If you need to vent or get something off your chest don't be afraid to message me. Im not that bad. Everything is kept secret, I don't tell. But all I ask is don't ask me if I'm okay. I would like to not lie so please don't ask. And please don't be offended if I don't confined in you. My trust issues have become a huge issue. These do have triggering topics so please if you are easily triggered I suggests you don't read. Also my beginning poems I have to apologize for, when they were written I was in such a dark place so most of them are about self harm. Im not deleting them because even though im still in a dark place its not as bad and they keep me going and they're there for me to see the progress.
