    She wasn't the brightest witch at Hogwarts. She wasn't the most famous. Most students barely noticed the quiet Gryffindor who disappeared after classes with dirt beneath her fingernails and pressed flowers tucked between the pages of her notebooks. Draco Malfoy certainly didn't. Until one night, he followed her beyond the castle walls. Hidden behind an ordinary flower shop lies Komorebi Blooms-a sanctuary protected by ancient Japanese magic, where paper lanterns never burn out, camellias bloom beneath enchanted moons, and four noble clans have safeguarded secrets the British wizarding world has long forgotten. As Voldemort's grip tightens and Draco's mission draws ever closer, the last thing he expects is to entrust his mind-and perhaps his life-to the one person he was taught never to trust. Some wars are won by strength. Others... by the people who stand quietly behind it

    Eiko and Ëlen are two six-year-old girls who live in Middle-earth. With the watchful and somewhat jealous company of their eagles, they set out in search of the Dragon Balls. They dream of asking a wish from the "Dragon Lord." Thanks to a pair of artifacts discovered by Ëlen-the Tiara of Ithil and the Harp of Anor-they gain powerful magical abilities that transform Eiko into the Soldier of Ithil and Ëlen into the Soldier of Anor, the guardians, they proudly proclaim, of the Moon and the Sun. What adventures await them when their quest leads them-together with their friend Vivi-to a castle in the clouds, a wondrous land of dolls, plush toys, and Japanese traditions? English translation of the Spanish fanfic Las aventuras de la Principita Eiko.

The other is surgery to remove the flowers from one's lungs, but that will result in deleting all emotions and memories of the person that caused the flowers to grow.

Struggling to survive in a land that doesn't speak his name, Kev finds work, food, and fleeting shelter. But as strange entities flicker at the edge of his vision, he realizes starting over might come at a cost far greater than he imagined.

    Yōkai and Humans. Spirits and Demons. Ghosts and creatures of old. They all exist, under many different names. They live in solitude, and sometimes small groups, only interacting with humans when they have to, or when they need to feed. They are more frightened of us than them, after all. Yet there is a phenomenon among all yōkai. The ability to attach themselves to a single mortal soul that they resonate with. Because if you don't give someone the love and compassion they deserve, a yōkai will do it for you.

    If we have an oc, wouldn't it be cool of we also write the back story? And I love writing anyway, so this back story might turn into a new novel in the future 😆 *English is not my native language, I apologize in advance if there are any grammatically errors 🙏 **Since it's an OC story, it is based on Genshin Impact in-game stories and lores, I might put in some theory and the story may change in the future! 🥰
