    In an age before history, when gods still walked the earth and the land remembered their names... The ancient world fractures under climate collapse, war, and the fall of kingdoms. The People of Danu-called the Danann-are driven into exile. Once masters of knowledge, craft, and the skies, their civilization is hunted, feared, and nearly extinguished. Their homeland, a chain of islands in the great ocean near the inland sea, is struck by a comet sent by their Goddess, Danu, and swallowed beneath the waves. The survivors escape in airships, seeking refuge on the northern island called Éire. There, the White Horse Oracle foretells their arrival: they come in peace, yet conflict is probable. Indeed, war does break out, and from its ashes the Danann rise to power across the land. The White Horse Oracle is a sweeping mythological fantasy of exile, invasion, and memory-where legends are not born of heroism, but of survival.

    Author's Note: I'm in early childhood education, and I'm also working on becoming a children's author. My topics will reign from learning, to milestones, to topics that can be hard for parents! I'm also a mom, and I write about topics I'd talk to my child about. In a way that is easy for the parent and child to both digest. This will be a collage of many children's books That I am writing. The reading Level is perfect for up to 1st grade. "Big" Words are explained. The Title of the story is the page title, and the whole short story is on the page. Early Level Children's books are only 10-20 pages long, and only 1-5 sentences on each page.

    A young boy watches the clock tick until it strike midnight. This young boy lost the person he cared the most, his elder sister. Tonight, when the clock strike midnight, and Samhain is upon the village, he will finally have the answer to his lifelong question. This is the backstory of an Original Character of mine called Gabzryel David Summerfield, from my novel trilogy, The Shadow Paradigm. I wrote this after seeing an Halloween marathon, filled with gory movies. I don't know what is the fascination with the modern and violent way of seeing Halloween; few seem to remember the original meaning of Halloween. For those familiar with Celtic folklore, Halloween, or Samhain, was the day when the veil between our world and the spirit worlds opened, and the spirit of those who died could once more walk upon the land that they used to know. I was always fascinated by this Celtic's belief; I found it bittersweet that spirits could, for one day each year, visit their families and give them a sign that everything was allright in the spirit world. Of course, there were a few evil spirits, but nothing like the modern world spread as the norm. There were no evil Leprechauns, or Gremlins, or Halloween creatures. Just dead members of families who crossed the veil to visit their family and say "Hi!". So, just to break the new tradition of Halloween stories, here is my take on the original meaning of the Samhain Holiday. And, of course, the explanation of one of the motives behind Gabzryel's eccentric life.

    In a time filled with old rituals and eerie traditions, Isha and her friend Thana arrive in Anukhetara, only to find themselves trapped in a disturbing reality where no one dreams, and the Akasha Terminal, a device forced upon them, appears to possess an evil power. As the mysterious Samhain festival approaches, they get caught in a series of strange meetings, unnerving déjà vu, and disguised figures who cover more than just their identities. Desperate to escape the city's terrifying grasp, Isha uncovers an awful reality that could consume them both. In a story of suspense and unsettling revelations, she must face a nightmare in which each step could be her last. -- This one-shot is inspired by one of Sumeru's main quests from genshin impact. Initially a school project created for Halloween, I chose to upload it here in the hopes that you may appreciate it as well. In the final paragraph, I used enhypen's lyrics from their song 'outro : cross the line', all credit goes to them.

    * #PIPMC Contest Entry - 3rd Place Winner * All Hallows Eve was fast approaching and a Witches Ball was coming to town. Maisy would attend every year with her ever reluctant friend Tilly. Except this year was going to be different. A new family were bringing the fall festival to town and with a new host of attractions. Tilly doesn't want to just go with her friend Maisy but instead wants to turn in to something more. Will her feelings be misplaced, or will the festival be the perfect night to ignite it? Tilly was hoping so at least... A Medium travelling with the festival catches their eye, situated in a less than trusting cabin. Not something Tilly is keen on or believes in but the rest of the group want to get involved. They approach the Medium's cabin. Will it be some harmless fun or will it reveal something they'll regret forever...
