They say some doors only open once. Luna lied to her father about a research trip to the Philippines. She didn't mention the impossible theory her vanished mother left behind. The pot swallowed her whole. Now she's crawling out of it into pre-colonial Madja-as during a pirate raid, where bodies fall like rain and survival isn't a skill you learn in international schools. The pot won't reopen. Her geometric tattoos burn with power she can't control. And somewhere in this brutal, beautiful world, there's a Keeper she's supposed to find. Except the Keeper is dead. Luna has spent her whole life trusting no one, needing no one, surviving alone. But here, blood soaks into communal earth. Here, warriors die with their crew's names on their lips. Here, villages share their last handful of rice. Isolation isn't strength when survival is measured in how many hands pull you back from the edge. It's extinction. The cosmic layers are fracturing. An ancient god is clawing his way back to power. And the prophecy that dragged her through time demands something she's never learned how to give: trust. She crossed time to find her mother. She found a war, a prophecy, and the reason some people never make it home. 🔗https://open.spotify.com/episode/5Q39SmQjhz2NSrzYz8NUya

Hmm,I guess this is the continuation of my writing prompt for Sidapa and Libulan *My first draft got deleted and it was almost finished,my head hurts. 😢" Okay,in reality there are 8 moon phases. But in Philippine Myyhology there are 7 moons, specifying Libulan as the 3rd moon child of Lihangin and Lidagat.") Basically,this is the actual order of the Moon Phases 1-New Moon 2-Waning Crescent 3. First Quarter Moon 4.-Waxing Gibbous Moon* 5.Full Moon 6-Waning Gibbous 7.-Last Quarter 8.Waning Crescent. What,I did to make Libulan as the Waxing Gibbous Moon in the ode is that I opted to remove the New Moon from the counting. because there's no light illuminating on it. 2-Waning Crescent 1 3. First Quarter Moon 2 4.-Waxing Gibbous Moon* 3 5.Full Moon 4 6-Waning Gibbous 5 7.-Last Quarter 6 8.Waning Crescent. 7 Okay,that's all.hahah. I really am inlove with them xD

If you've picked this up with the knowledge of only those creatures, then you'd be surprise at how much we've barely scratched the surface. ❞ ⎯ an informal, but informative take on ph mythology • the tales are rewritten but with the original events unaltered from its sources to the best of the author's abilities. book cover by adlao

I always had these made-up characters in my head for the longest time. I can't remember all of them, but they are buried deep in my thoughts. At some times in a day, faces, and details of the characters I imagined would pop in my head, only for them to vanish again in the next few minutes. There were a lot of them, some I named after songs, some I named after my favorite Apex Legend, some of them are named after poems that I have read...some have blue eyes.. some have red hair.. some can pull big-ass swords out of their sweater holes.. and some can turn invisible but only when someone's not looking (trust me, I come up with such random characters with silly powers) Now, I'm writing this short novel, hoping that I could give justice to these characters. To give them life.. to give them a voice.. a passion.. a lover.. and a reason for being created. I don't want them caged in my head. I always took inspiration from Quentin Tarantino's works, and I am hoping to navigate in the same direction as him, though I am in a completely different vessel, far smaller than his. But it's always good to start with something. If you guys have read The Copper Gauntlet and The Magician, you can tell that I took inspiration from those two books as well. I always fancied teenage people having magical powers in a modern setting (like David Stutler in the Sorcerer's Apprentice film back in 2010). Now, I take you to the story of Aloy, a normal teenage boy, who finds himself snared between factions with roots in Philippine folkore.. This story is still a work in progress, and it's not perfect. And yes, the cover image needs some re-work, I bought it online, from one of those Facebook groups for writers.. I'm hoping to get a digital artist soon and to use this platform as a way to eventually publish this book. Again, what you're reading now, and what you're about to read next isn't perfect. But I hope you'll still enjoy it nevertheless.

They say no one escapes Sidapa's tree. But I did. Sidapa, the god of death, carved my name into his tree the day I was born. I was supposed to die when I turn 18. But death missed me. And now, the living won't let me forget it. So I joined the king's army, thinking if I can't belong, at least I can fight. It is better to spill blood on the battlefield than rot in whispers. But the kingdom is crumbling, haunted by lost spirits and rebel diwatas, and the gods themselves watch from above while waiting for me to finally fall. The people call me an omen. The army calls me a weapon. The gods call me a mistake. But I am none of those things. I am the crack in their perfect design and the flaw they cannot erase. If death won't claim me, then I'll carve my own path, one that even the gods will fear. I am Mayari, the girl who defied death. And this is only the beginning.

A human boy who followed the monster under his bed, A necromancer discovering her powers for the first time, A fairy prince deserting his kingdom for killing his kin, A psychic with abilities causing her more harm than good, A witch beholden to a vow of vengeance and vindication, An elf doomed to a life of slavery is given a chance at freedom The journeys they take may be different, but there at the end of the road, all of them will meet the same fate; Death.

"What if your next vlog takes you 500 years into the past?" Samantha Reyes, a sarcastic Gen Z vlogger, suddenly wakes up in the body of Dayang Mayumi, the daughter of a Datu in pre-colonial Philippines.

Can a modern girl survive a world without WiFi, AC, and bubble tea? Or will she rewrite history with her own version of Girl Power? 🌺 A story of laughter, love, and legacy set in the rich world of pre-colonial Philippines.

Philippine mythology is the body of myths, tales, and superstitions held by Filipinos, mostly originating from beliefs held during the pre-Hispanic era. Some of these beliefs stem from pre-Christian religion that was specially influenced by the Hinduism and were regarded by the Spanish as "myth" and "superstition" in an effort to de-legitimize precolonial faith by replacing those native beliefs with colonial Catholic Christian myths and superstitions. Today, some of these precolonial beliefs are still held by Filipinos, especially in the provinces. Filipino myth is incorporated from various sources, having similarities with Indonesian and Malay myths, as well as Christian traditions, such as the notion of Heaven (kaluwalhatian, kalangitan, kamurawayan), Hell (impiyerno, kasamaan), and the human soul (kaluluwa). Filipino mythology attempts to explain the nature of the world through the lives and actions of gods, goddesses, heroes, and mythological creatures. A majority of these myths were passed on through oral tradition. - This Book contains : - the creation myth - list of deities - list of creatures - the story of Lapu-Lapu - 2018 -Completed-
