"In Laang's eyes, most seem gone in time and afar. As his senses succumb to a darkling light. Floating into void and deviant peace. Thoughts of slowing space and time, in timid pacing. Light surrounds his mind, blinding his eyes from a source unknown. As he recalls falling, whilst now he is not. Laang called for his guide Gahaman, who he subtly hears from beyond but sees not in that world as one could gladly. He stretches his look towards here and there, and saw none for that matter of looking. He remembers speaking, his old days of speech. But there corrupted only a familiarity of it that had seemed dull and unlikely."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Uncover the mysteries of this magical story and the fate that awaits the people of Maharlika as you join Laang, the son of the Village chieften as he searches for answers of this age old tragic mystery.

'"I cannot feel this way. You clearly don't feel-" "I do though." He interrupts me. I finally look up to meet his eyes. It holds so much sadness. "Believe it or not but it hurts me every time I see tears in your eyes." His hands reach for my face, one more time and gently wipes the tears off my face.

Run Like The Wind
Mom used to tell me stories of a time when the grass was green and the sky was blue. Where the sun was bright and the moon and stars lit up the night. When the world was alive and water flowed. But I did not believe her not when this world all around me is barren and lifeless and stricken by war all the time. The seasons no longer change. She said they did. But I did not believe that either besides there is no sun or moon it is just lifeless. She also told me that my real mother left me at her doorstep in a basket with a note that said my name was 'Kiyoshi and that I would know what to do when the time comes' although I did know it yet I was in for one hell of an adventure. The mother that raised me said my mom could save this world and bring it back to its original state. But I would not know I never I got to meet her.

That she brought the world to life with just one touch. I wish to find her, my real mother. And maybe along the way I will find someone I lost, I will find you, brother.Complete
Tales Of The Wisp ~AYU INDAH
What just happened?" I ask aloud, shaking my head to dispel the fog clouding it. "Pa?" "Honey!" I called out for my husband. "Paaaa!" I shouted, my voice slicing through the stillness, desperation lacing each syllable. Silence hung in the air, a heavy blanket that muffled the echoes of mundane chores and chatter. A lingering sense of confusion settled in... Wait, where did everyone go? Helloooo! As I rose unsteadily and swept my gaze across the landscape, a chill crept up my spine. Instead of the garden I had imagined myself to be, I found an alien environment that sent my heart racing! I stood right there, shadows lingering around me, as if the world had forgotten to move on without me. A distant animal cry echoes, a reminder that nature thrives in its rawest form. Here, the world feels alive, unrestrained, and fierce. Every rustle of leaves and distant call of a creature echo the raw beauty of a wilderness, shaking me to my core. How the f*ck did I get here? I never left. I was in the same place, but somewhere in another era, at another time.. Enchantment, mysticism, and wonder all come together. Step into a world where the boundaries of the real and the imagined blur as the fabric of time and space intertwine. The Myth of Ayu Indah is about an Aboriginal beauty and her struggles to belong in ancient times; and the other, a contemporary woman who appears to have lost her enchantment while adjusting to life in the country following a recent move. Both are seeking fulfillment in life. Transported to a bygone age through a dream journey that crossed time, where the protagonist unearthed hidden truths that led to her transformative journey of self-discovery. In the end, they both realized that the capacity-the power-to uncover the enduring, awe-inspiring beauty of simply existing and being loved lies within them all along.Complete
Captive of the Sea
Those who were taken... They never came back, dragged beneath the waves never to return. Their haunting screams were a symbol of their horrific deaths. Like shadows they lay in wait, the deep blue waters hiding them from view. With sharp claws they attack, Pointed fangs tearing into skin, Eager mouths devouring human flesh. Cally was taken, dragged under the water by one of the vicious creatures. But she was not devoured nor torn apart by ruthless claws--no. She was a captive. ~•~ Water instantly invades her senses. Her eyes sting, her lungs and nose burning. She thrashes, kicks, claws--anything to get away. Her efforts go to waste as her body slowly starts to shut down, the air in her lungs quickly being replaced by sea water. Cally is vaguely aware of arms wrapping around her waist and behind her head before she loses consciousness, submerged in darkness. And so she is taken. Another victim of the mysterious sea. 《Completed》 Subscribe to TheAllieL Patreon for exclusive stories and content not featured on Wattpad and to support future works and book publishing! - Free Subscriber Tier - Allie's Library - Tier 1 - $2/month - Allie's Journal - Tier 2 - $5/month Subscribe here: Patreon.com/TheAllieLComplete
Beneath The Tides
People say mermaids are myths-creatures born from imagination, whispered through folklore, and lost in fantasy. Justin Chadwick never believed in them either. Not until he started seeing her. At eighteen, the world's wealthiest and most sought-after bachelor witnessed something he could neither explain nor forget-a fleeting glimpse of a creature that was neither fully human nor entirely of the sea. He dismissed it as stress, hallucination... anything but the truth. But she never left him. She followed him into his dreams. Into his thoughts. Into the quiet moments he could no longer escape. Years later, Justin has everything a man could desire-power, wealth, control. Yet beneath it all lies a haunting presence he has never been able to shake. Until one night... she appears again. Not in his dreams. Not in his imagination. But in his world. A mysterious woman of the sea-beautiful, distant, and impossibly real. Drawn to her in ways he cannot understand, Justin finds himself unraveling the deeper he gets. Because she is not just a creature of legend-she is a secret the ocean has kept for centuries. And she has been watching him. As reality begins to blur with myth, Justin must confront a truth far more dangerous than fantasy: Some legends are real. Some obsessions run deeper than the ocean. And some creatures don't just appear... They choose who they reveal themselves to.Complete

#1 spiritual powers 30/08/22 "......your soul? It's beautiful, unlike the ones I have seen here, it's quite unique" "But surrounded by dark mists, you see if you ask me I think it's really dark inside and it's gradually dying" he replied still looking straight lost in his thoughts as the moon rays continued to embrace his face. For a moment they both said nothing. It looked late, everywhere was cloudy and a gigantic moon covered half of the sky. Everywhere looked empty, dry, imaginary. They were both seated on a bench, One was dashingly handsome with nice features but still looked ordinary. Humanly. But the other one was different, with gigantic white wings covering her back, Beautiful? yes, amazingly beautiful, with her long red hair and beautiful long red gown. But possessed a very powerful dark Aura. "Let me save you" She faced him this time, no longer in her thoughts holding his rough hands gently. "Running to a pretty demon for help.... ehhh I'm not sure about that" he replied jokingly as he couldn't help but caress her soft cheeks. "I don't know if you are here to save me or destroy me, but I will trust you" "I'm not sure about that too Alex, but let's give it a try" He nodded then disappeared into thin air. "Trust?" She couldn't help but mumble to herself, as tears could be seen slowly sliding down her cheeks, And her wings gradually changing to its original color, Black. Then he woke up. It was just a dream. #1 spiritual powers 30/08/22.Complete
