What is time? Time is what we use to measure something we cannot see, perhaps so that we can control the uncontrollable. You can live for a thousand years, but at the end of it you will always ask for one more day. Because even after a millenia, there are new things to be discovered, you want it to spend with the ones you love, and there is just never enough time. Time has no beginning and no end. Time is infinite, yet it always runs out. And here she is, a fifteen year old girl watching on in a bleak hospital room as her sister slowly fades away, wishing that she only had one more day because her time is running out and she's about to lose it, as well as herself.
This is my first story, and it's original. I'm not really good at writing, but I liked the plot and decided to try.

Echoes of Olympus
Aurelia never knew her past, her family, or the truth about who she was. Awakening on Olympus with fragmented memories and whispers of a prophecy, she finds herself thrust into a world of gods, power, and ancient grudges. As she navigates fragile alliances and growing bonds with those who hold divine power, Aurelia uncovers pieces of her forgotten identity-along with the devastating role she is destined to play in the war against a formidable enemy. With secrets lurking in every shadow and betrayal closer than she ever imagined, Aurelia must decide who she can trust, and what she's willing to sacrifice to protect the ones she loves. But time is running out, and the gods' enemies have plans that will shake the heavens and earth alike. In a battle where even the gods are vulnerable, one question remains: will Aurelia rise, or will her fate be her undoing? {This story and its plot, along with all fictional characters, are original creations and belong to me.

Set Me As A Seal ✓
A time-traveling god. A mortal stuck in Ancient Greece. They have always been able to hear each other's thoughts, across time and space; the only problem is, they were never supposed to meet. Until they did. And it unravelled the balance of everything. ₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪ The immortal Greek god Evgenis' only job is to travel through time, making sure humanity stays on its course. This is what he was born to do. He was meant to be machine-like, cold, and detached from humanity - ready to invoke bloodshed as needed. His ability to follow through with his duty, however, is disrupted when he forms a mysterious internal bond with a mortal. You see, the Goddess of Love had a different idea for her son's future. Seeing the cruelty of the gods around her, she formed the unborn Evgenis with a secret gift: an eternal inner bond with a mortal. She chose Tharos - named for the strength of his heart - an Ancient Greek villager living an unassuming, simple life. This connection, she prayed, would keep Evgenis' moral compass and conscience strong. He would not end up like the others. No one could anticipate, though, just how powerful and disruptive this bond would grow to be. ------------------------------------------ "Set me as a seal upon your heart... for love is as strong as death." - Song of Solomon, 6:8 ------------------------------------------Complete

Are children naïve and are adults wise? When you ask yourself what is normal and what is not, you realize that all you think you know is relative.

I was stripped away from my power, my ranks, and my immortality and sent down this land of humans they called Earth. They came together to end me, not knowing where they sent me. Not knowing that from the washed away sandcastles, I'd get to water my seeds and watch them grow through her lenses. I waged wars but she came in and showed me peace. To them, only a mortal she is, one who pictures every memory through her lenses. To me, she was a blessing in disguise, she traded my broken heart for hers, she saw my scars and kissed my crimes. After all, her cursed beauty I was. | DISCLAIMER: All the events and characters taking place in this work of fiction are completely fictional and from my imagination.

The Love of Aphrodite - Book 1
Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love and Beauty is forced into an unwanted marriage the very evening she emerges from the sea. While Hephaestus is not terrible to her, she can't help but be enticed by his forbidden brother, Ares, and the other Gods who send her longing glances. Will she settle for Hephaestus or will she search for more for her own love story? *This story follows along some of Aphrodite's romances while married to Hephaestus. This story will not be a perfect timeline but will however, follow along a rough timeline according to my other book, Hades and Persephone.* *Also, Aphrodite has her faults. A fair amount of faults in fact! If you know her mythology she turns out to be a very vengeful, self-centred, and self-involved Goddess, but this story is all about her slowly progressing throughout her marriage to Hephaestus. A sequel will follow beyond once this marriage ends.* *This story is also not meant to be factually accurate, and is simply an interpretation of the story.Complete
