Penance Stories

Abhijit's unwavering devotion becomes Vansh's only shield when he is broken, abandoned, and shunned by the world. Years later, standing at the threshold of a new life, Vansh is forced to choose between his future and the brother who once held him through hell. He chooses wrong. Now, burdened by guilt and regret, Vansh must face the question that will define him forever-can repentance mend what betrayal shattered, or has he lost the devotion of the one person who loved him without condition? Once, Abhijit stood at the edge of an impossible choice-his own life, or his brother's. He did not hesitate. He chose love. He chose sacrifice. He chose to stay. Years later, that same brother becomes the hand that wounds him. Betrayal cuts deeper than any hardship he once endured. Now the question is no longer about sacrifice, but about mercy. Can a heart that gave everything learn to forgive what shattered it? And if forgiveness comes... will the fracture ever truly heal?

Life has an uncanny habit of creating myriad variants of life-forms. Taking our own species as an example , we can see that owing to our minds , each and every one of us is unique. There are some imbued with great powers who do not realize the meaning of such powers and use them for reasons less than noble. It is seen that some of these mighty men realize the Essence of Life as their own lives progress. They come to be known as Champions of Justice of who rose from the Darkness. Let us celebrate these men who , having learned the meaning of suffering and sin forge a better world.Here in this poem such a man is a Samurai with the title of the Scarlet Swan.

Rythym and Poetry

Cover art provided by @alice_darkside ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cold. Calculated. Unstable. Psychotic. Words to describe our brutally efficient anti-hero are indeed numerous, although nobody, not one person on the face of this green earth would even think of adding "murderer" to his repertoire. Oh well. Times change, I suppose.

Till six months ago, she had been Ragini Gadodia, a loved daughter and adored granddaughter. Till six days ago, she had been Ragini Maheshwari, married to the man she loved above all, loved enough to kill her sister, or try to, twice. Six hours ago her world turned upside down and now, she was not sure who she was anymore. Her family had disowned her and the man she loved had turned his back on her. She had no place to go, no one to turn to, no idea what to do next. All she knew was that some way, some how, she would have to make up for the sins she had committed, even if those whom she had sinned against did not want to have anything to do with her. This is her journey, from sin to atonement, from remorse to redemption. A journey from being lost to finding herself. A journey through hiraeth to reach home. ___________________________ Hiraeth (pronounced [hiraɪ̯θ]) is a Welsh concept of longing for home, which can be loosely translated as 'nostalgia', or, more commonly, 'homesickness'. Many Welsh people claim 'hiraeth' is a word which cannot be translated, meaning more than solely "missing something" or "missing home." To some, it deploys the meaning of missing a time, an era, or a person. It is associated with the bittersweet memory of missing something or someone, while being grateful of that/ their existence. ____________________________

Blood Bound Heather McGrandia Emily Jordan's life as an English major is about to take an unexpected turn. In a critical financial pinch, she takes a year off from the university to work as a domestic for the billionaire Blackwood brothers in their lavish estate. She hopes to earn enough money to finish her master's degree. She barely arrives when she meets the twin Blackwood brothers who are both instantly attracted to her. Joel relishes in Emily's every breath. Jackson is the tortured soul for whom passion and penance are synonymous. Joel is a mystic who wants nothing more than to achieve nirvana. Jackson is the alpha brother who shoulders all responsibility for the family's international industrial contracting and engineering firm. With Joel and Jackson, Emily explores two very different worlds of sensuality under the watchful eye of the abusive head housekeeper who condemns Emily's every move. Both brothers have their charms, and Emily finds them attractive, each in their own way. Soon she suspects there's more to the Blackwoods powerful attraction than their looks. A palpable energy engulfs her in their presence. Soon she learns the reason. They harbor a terrible secret. They're both vampires. Will she do the sensible thing and leave before they know she has discovered their curse? Or will she stay and give in to the passion growing inside her? If she stays for passion, what will be her penance? This edition is a significantly modified and revised version of a volume previously published by Turquoise Morning Press, Torquere Press, and Southern Owl Publications under the same title.

Hafsat is a wholly original woman. A 26-year-old single mother, charmer, and politician with dainty and deathly expertise in manipulating people and events. Single-minded in the pursuit of her desires, nothing and no one can stop her ambitions. She meets and marries a man she barely knows which leads her to war-torn Libya where she has to find a way to survive. All her plans were well underway until she finds out that her husband isn't who he said he was. In the quest for escape, she has to face her inner demons or give up a promising future she sees for herself including seeing her daughter again.

The Flood does not negotiate. It does not repent. It only consumes. Or so the Forerunners thought. Deep within the pulsing, bioluminescent corridors of the Hive, the Gravemind-the collective consciousness of trillions of stolen souls-finds an object that defies his divinity. Bound in green leather and gold filigree, the Book speaks of a Balance that the stars themselves cannot pay. For the first time in an eternity, the hunger stops. The silence begins. "We were the blind. We were the shadows who claimed to have swallowed the sun, only to find the Light was never ours to take." In this reimagining of the Halo mythos, the greatest threat to existence faces the only power it cannot conquer: the weight of its own conscience.

The alternate ending...

For thousands of years, Calypso has been trapped on an island- Ogygia- that many people would call a paradise. But for Calypso, it's a torturous prison. As penance for siding with her father, the Titan Atlas, in the battle between the Titans and the Olympians, Calypso has been trapped on Ogygia with no way of leaving. Until now. After a raft magically washes up on the beach shores, what else is Calypso expected to do aside from get on and let it take her away from her home. But little does she know that this single decision will place her in the middle of the cross hairs for another all out war, and neither side looks all that inviting. **cover photo created using two photos property of google.
