Socolded Stories

It's her first time living alone, in a strange place that somehow feels like home-a place she's always dreamed of going. Elpida Thanissa Mortelle Navarho - her name means hope derived from the Greek word elpís. Elpis who, according to Greek mythology, was the personification of hope.

Since the day she was born, time has always felt like a green leaf slowly turning brown, eventually falling-reminding her that everything that begins must come to an end. In this place, will she finally find the will to believe again-even if believing means breaking her heart all over again? And in this place, where she is bound to meet him-will that moment become the sign she needs to stay, to be brave, and to keep fighting? Started: August 1, 2025 @so_colded
