Castlecombe Stories

🌿 Story Description - Whispers of the Willow 🌙 In the quiet village of Castle Combe, where rivers hum forgotten songs and magic hides in the mist, a girl named Mia waits by the willow tree for the boy who vanished one fateful night. A promise was made beneath the moonlight-one that bound two hearts between worlds. But when the willow stopped blooming and the village began to fade, Mia's hope became the only magic left. Now, years later, whispers in the wind call her name again. Shadows move through the forest. The river sings once more. And Mia must uncover the truth behind the ancient curse that stole her love-and the secret power sleeping within her own heart. A tale of love, loss, and the kind of magic that never dies, Whispers of the Willow will carry you through misty mornings, forgotten castles, and the soft ache of waiting for someone who might never return. ---

Ryota: When my family told me to move out after college, I didn't expect to be moving into where my best mate who moved out of town currently lived. But well, coincidences do happen. Moving into a place where you have friends is really not as bad as you think. Raiden, my former basketball teammate and best friend, introduces me to his younger sister. If I'm to be completely honest, she is kinda cute. Runa, his 21-year old younger sister, is currently studying in college and she needs help with some of her subjects. So naturally, Raiden calls upon my genius self. (It's sarcasm) and first comes friendship, then trust. Maybe it could blossom into something else? Runa: When Raiden tells me that Ryota is moving into town, I have my suspicions. I've heard a lot about him, but I've never met him in person. And Raiden told me that he is going to tutor me. As the introverted individual I am, I shirk from the thought of a private tutor. Do I have to socialize? Be friends with him? What if he's scary? Some of Raiden's friends can get pretty intimidating. Then, I meet him. He is very, very pretty, for a boy his height and age. I've heard they turn more boyish after high school. But not Ryota. And for once in my life, I am excited to work with another human other than my brother.
