Grethel wept bitter tears, and said to Hansel, "Now all is over with us."
"Be quiet, Grethel," said Hansel, "do not distress thyself, I will soon find a way to help us."
And when the old folks had fallen asleep, he got up, put on his little coat, opened the door below, and crept outside.
Hansel stooped and put as many of them in the little pocket of his coat as he could possibly get in. Then he went back and said to Grethel, "Be comforted, dear little sister, and sleep in peace, God will not forsake us," and he lay down again in his bed.
But little did they know what God had in store for them.

Fate Of The Twelve (Completed)
Completed 'Big sister... I'm scared.' A little one whispered as we hid in a cramped alley, trying to escape our pursuers who planned on taking us captives and to damn our lives. We were playing hide and seek and I didn't want it. I just hugged my little sibling tighter, waiting for the footsteps to fade completely away as they passed us . There's no way that I'll let them get their hands on us. I refuse. It's either we die trying rather than to be lab rats for the rest of our lives.Complete
Six Years After
I watched, tears clouding my vision, as he walked up the road. He didn't look back. I knew this was as hard for him as it was for me. Although he had said he'd be back, I knew he wouldn't. And I think he knew the same. It was impossible for us to be together. It would have to be a miracle for us to be paired as a marriage. I stepped back after gently wiping away tears under my eyes and shut the door. I let out a few deep breaths. I wanted to run after him and beg him to run away with me, but like I said before, it would be impossible. I looked over to the girls and Miss Jennings, who were patiently waiting in the dining room. I took another deep breath and joined them reluctantly. I looked back out the window, finding Mathias nowhere.Complete
DanMachi: Descent Of A Tragedy
A long time ago, shortly before the Gods descended upon the lower world, Zeus spoke with a fellow deity. "Soon the divine will abdicate their place in heaven; they strive for entertainment in the lower world. However, I must demand that you remain here." The deity was confused, Zeus quickly caught onto his complicated expression. "Your divine power is far too great. Even if we were to seal it, you would likely become a tragedy to the beings of the lower world." Zeus expanded, understanding his explanation the deity hesitantly accepted the old God's demands. Soon after this conversation, the gods descended, The Deity was left trapped in an empty husk of the once bustling heaven. For a millennia the god was isolated and trained in completed solitude... each and everyday he practiced completely suppressing his divinity within his body. The process was grueling. The potent energy he locked within himself eventually began to tear him apart from the inside. In the end, the pain was only a small price to pay... If his torture succeseeded his divinity would be completely cotained and then he could finish step foot into the lower world without causing a tragedy. (This is an OC story and a lot of things probably won't be canon since I'm just going for a fun time while writing this story. ) (Also I know Azrael is an angel but for they're a god cuz why not) 🥇Freya 07/02/2025

"Honey you, Gally and Charlie need to run" she screamed while soldiers hauled her away out the door. Gally, my older brother stood in front of me when one of them came back, grabbing him first.

"Stay here Pumpkin" he said as he pushed me in the closet "stay hidden, I love you Raigna" I nodded my head and he put a coat over me, covering me, keeping me hidden. Charlie on the other side of the closet. We stayed there for what seemed like hours but was probably only minutes until I heard footsteps. I got out of the closet thinking it was Gally, only to be confronted by two soldiers, one holding my unconscious brother.Complete
