Engkanto Stories

Introduction When the clock strikes three in the morning, most of the world sleeps. But at 3 A.M., the Ilog ng Dilim awakens. River waters gleam like liquid moonlight, and the boundary between the living and the lost thins to a whisper. For Mara Reyes, the witching‐hour summons have become more than nightmares-they are a blood-bound calling to confront an ancient betrayal and reclaim what was stolen. 3 A.M. at the Enchanted River is a supernatural horror-fantasy rooted in Filipino folklore. It is the story of siblings bound by love and loss, of a river spirit named Amihan whose tears shaped the world's sorrow, and of one girl's unbreakable vow to cross the threshold between life and death to save her sister-and perhaps, herself. Turn the page, if you dare, and step into the moonlit mist. But beware: once the river sees you, it will not let you go easily.

E·ng·kan·to ¿ Engkanto (from Spanish Encanto) are mythical environmental spirits that are said to have the ability to appear in human form. They are often associated with the spirits of ancestors in the Philippines. They are also characterized as spirit sorts like sirens, dark beings, elves, and more. Belief in their existence has likely existed for centuries, and continues to this day. °·。𑁍。·°᪥°·。𑁍。·°᪥°·。𑁍。·° ✍︎This is Originally made by me with my random chaotic and weird mind while on the vacation home, Everything is fantasy other than me actually going to the house and being weird. Also This was inspired by me looking at the house, Which is creepy and cool at the same time while also seeing shadows moves so im guessing it was Ghosts or Encantos.

CW: Horror, fantasy, gore. Do I have to write a description right now? This is a lot of pressure. I'm just gonna let the story unfold. But yeah, Encanto but Filipino and dark AF because I can. Set during the early years of the Spanish occupation of the Philippines. Around 50-60 years after. So around 1640. Enjoy.

Silverhollow Academy was supposed to be a fresh start. For Sampaguita Catacutan, it's just another transfer, another set of halls, another attempt to outrun the dreams that haunt her. But the moment she steps through the gates, destiny follows. A fragrance - delicate, eternal, impossible to escape - binds her to two very different souls: - Alexei Lavoie, the cold, celestial professor whose piercing gaze strips away every mask. - Noah Lavoie, the rebel son hiding behind a hoodie, whose silence conceals a heart already unraveling. Both are drawn to her. Both are dangerous. And within the academy's gothic walls, secrets bloom like blossoms in the mist - secrets.

The Sanlibutan Chronicles is my attempt to recreate a fantasy world based and inspired by Philippine History and Mythology. Inspired by the works of J.R.R Tolkien and video games like the Elder Scrolls Series, this is my mythopoeia of local Filipino culture, recreating a new world with its own creation story, historical eras, and lore. This would be a novel like The Silmarillion where it starts with the story of the powerful deity Bathala and the appearance of the Devas and the Asura beings and the creation of the mortal realm, Sansinukob, and the planet Sanlibutan. The mortal races of Diwatas, Engkantos, Duwendes, Beastfolks, and Men, along with other animals and monsters would soon dominate the land. Others are descendants of the Devas (Diwatas, Engkantos, Men) while others are creations of the gods. After the creation story, the story would include several historical eras based on the lore history: The First, Second, Third, and Fourth Eras. This is mostly lore and not a story since this is still a work in progress. More research is still needed especially on our local folklore and the folklore of the indigenous tribes like the Igorots and the Lumads. I have yet to create a map and setting for the story.
