Ivory Dylan is an artist of many talents and a young girl that stands out in many ways. Her beauty, her way of thinking, everything about her seems different from the ways of the world around her.
Her eighteenth birthday started as any other's would, a sweet wake up from her mother, meaningful gifts from the one's she loves, then off to school for her last day. However, as Ivory's day unravels she begins to realize small things about herself that she did not know before, including part of the meaning to her series of art work that she had been slaving over for the last month.
Dragon after dragon and darkness after darkness appearing in painting after painting. Though the beauty and detail after each piece was no mystery, the message behind it was.
During the evening of her eighteenth birthday Ivory notices a handsome young man that she swears she's seen before and from there, she starts to realize that her paintings are more than beautiful art on a canvas; they are a story of a world beyond hers, one she is linked to in more ways than she can imagine.
Every artist does have a secret, but is Ivory Dylan's more than even she can handle?

The Sound Of Your Voice
Dylan Bautista, the 25-year-old boy next door turned world-famous singer, musician, and painter, seemed to have everything-fame, fortune, and the kind of smile that made the world believe he was untouchable. But beneath the stage lights and painted canvases, his world begins to dim when he's diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder known as Usher Syndrome. The news comes crashing down the same night a devastating car accident steals his coordination and balance, trapping his once-brilliant hands in trembling silence. The trauma speeds up the cruel progress of his illness, blurring his hearing, fading his vision, and locking him inside a body that no longer dances to his music. Even the wealth and devotion of his adoptive parents can't buy back the rhythm of his steps or the clarity of his art. As months fade into endless therapy sessions, Dylan's reflection becomes a ghost of who he once was. When tragedy strikes again and his parents die suddenly, the last piece of his world finally shatters. In the silence left behind, enters Lea, the quiet, patient nurse hired by his late parents' trusted secretary to guide him through his brokenness. With each day she tends to him, Lea begins to see the man beneath the fame-the boy who still dreams of color and melody in a world going dark. Her care becomes more than duty; it becomes a lifeline pulling him toward hope, piece by fragile piece. But can she truly heal a man whose world is fading both in sound and sight? Or will Dylan's descent into silence swallow every song and stroke he has left to give? Disclaimer: This story is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to real people or events is purely coincidental - but if it feels real, that's because the heart remembers what the mind forgets. If they remind you of someone or something real, maybe it's because pain and hope speak a language we all understand. Still, if you see pieces of your own story here, take it as a reminder - even in fiction, healing is possible.
