Softending Stories

We built something beautiful. We tried to hold onto it. And in the end, we chose to let it go, without breaking each other. A quiet story about love, the kind that grows slowly and fades just as gently. About two people who give their best, only to find they were never meant to stay lovers, but perhaps something else, something just as true. A story about effort, change, and the kind of goodbye that leaves the door open.

They called her a witch. They tied her to a banyan tree. They thought the forest would end her. Instead, it remembered her. Velora was a young healer who only wanted to help her village. But fear, lies, and a king's selfish plan turned her into a "monster" in everyone's eyes. Her spirit was trapped inside the roots of an ancient banyan, and her pain slowly grew into a powerful curse. Years later, Aarini-who was once healed by Velora as a child-starts seeing Velora's death in her dreams. When Aarini and her best friends, Devak and Reyan, wander into the forbidden forest, Aarini's touch wakes the curse again... and Velora's soul. Now the forest is changing. Roots move. Trees twist. The curse spreads into the city. A team of five researchers is sent into the anomaly zone, but what they find is not just a strange forest-it's Velora's story, buried in fear, betrayal, and unfinished justice. To stop the curse, they must do what the villagers never did: Hear Velora. Believe her. And set her free.

Running Didn't Help, written by Nicol Summery: Will Byers thought distance would fix everything.

Sometimes running away doesn't make feelings disappear. Sometimes it just makes them louder. Credits to Pinterest for the Cover.
