Tegsa Stories

A story of blood, betrayal and bond so beautifully painful, under the circumstances, where one wrong step could kill you, literally. Where the hope of survival and the greed for life meet. When bonds are broken and built in an unusual setting. What would happen when the news vaccine reaches the small group of survivors of an apocalypse, stuck at an inconvenient distance from the vaccine? And what would happen when they realised the group considered small earlier was still very large for the amount of vaccine prepared? Will the people who had watched each other's backs until then stab each other, or will fate have something else planned for them? A story written for TEGSA. cover by @sugararmy07

#1 in cozy-21/7/26 #3 in mythicalcreatures-31/7/26 Stories are not meant to be read. They are meant to hatch. In the hidden village of Brimblewick, stories are as valuable as money. Every tale told with genuine wonder leaves behind a mysterious egg in the Story Hatchery. When the story is shared once more, it hatches into a magical creature that nourishes the village in ways no one fully understands. Here, memories have feathers, hope has paws, and even the wind pauses to listen. Twelve-year-old Nell has spent years recording Brimblewick's quiet miracles-the way the Morning Chorus greets the dawn, the habits of Story Hatchlings, and the little pieces of magic everyone else takes for granted. But one morning, the Chorus falls silent. No eggs appear. No stories hatch. And for the first time in living memory, Brimblewick begins to starve. As whispers of greed, ambition, and forgotten wonder creep into the village, Nell must discover what truly gives stories life before the last tale is lost forever. Because stories don't just change people. They keep the world alive. (TEGSA 2026)

The red thread of fate is an invisible red cord that connects two souls who are destined to find one another - 'soulmates' is what the modern generation calls them. However, they said the red string theory was just an old Chinese myth. Kallas' life is falling apart and he has shut everyone out, except for his best friend, Caelyn, who drops everything to be with him. Together, they navigate through the treacherous waters of heartbreak and toe the fine line between friendship and love. They said the red thread could tangle, but never break. They said those connected would get together eventually, but the legends forgot one thing. Denial and avoidance can go a long way to prevent the union of the souls. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ♡.
