Airin did not think much about the exact answer to that question, she thought she had the answer for herself at least: Children. She truly believed that she was saved by the beauty of imagination, of inspiration that she saw in her young students at her work as a preschool teacher. She basked everyday in their creativity, imagination, and those strengthened her when her mother died suddenly, her relationship with her father went from bad to worse, and her life was turned upside down. After a fight with her father, she ran away to a forest where she encountered two strangers: Xander, an injured royal warrior and Lyanna, a little girl who was also the crown princess of the kingdom of Halgard, a kingdom in another universe where myths and reality enmeshed. A kingdom favored by the gods Zeus and Apollo, a kingdom with such a powerful treasure: Elegarii, a treasure that greatly influenced the lives of human in Airin's universe too. When she ended up in Halgard because of a cunning scheme of a sorceress, she thought Xander was the only person she could trust, until she uncovered secrets about his wounded past that made her heart tremble in doubt: Who is he really? Among the chaos of a coming war with the evil forces, and the stakes that became so high, Airin fought for her life, and for her universe. And in her struggle, she found out what love could do to a wounded heart, and a real, physical answer to the question: Where does "inspiration" come from? === AUTHOR'S NOTE: Please leave comment/vote if you like the story!

What if Ertugrul had hunted that gazelle down instead of following it? What if he had never rescued Halime? A short alternate universe story that follows this concept. **** Halime Sultan has always known that you can't get whatever you want in your life. She is more of those women who welcome life for what it is. But somehow, she can't accept the grave turns of life regarding her arranged marriage with the Eyyubi Sultan. For some reason, her heart yearns for the veiled stranger that had rescued her. Hearts are candid, and perchance Halime will learn this the callous way. Add a lovestruck Ertugrul in this equation. Oh and must not forget Ceren, Ertugrul's little sister, who has her own piles of mess to deal with. A Dogan who is contending between his feelings and loyalty, and a Bamsi who cannot forget a certain honey haired beauty. Just one uncomplicated question. Where do we go from here?
