Whispers of the Forgotten
Elena Varela has always felt like an outsider. Growing up in a quiet coastal town, she is drawn to the mysterious lighthouse that stands at the edge of the cliffs. Legend says it's been abandoned for decades, but every full moon, Elena swears she sees lights flickering within. One stormy night, following a strange, haunting melody, she is led to the lighthouse where she encounters a man-Sebastian-whose face she recognizes, but from where, she can't recall. Sebastian is not what he seems. He claims to be from another time, trapped in the lighthouse after an ancient curse was cast on him centuries ago. He tells Elena that she is the key to breaking his curse, but there's more to the story. A powerful entity, forgotten by history, has bound Sebastian to protect something precious hidden within the lighthouse-something that has the power to rewrite the past. As Elena and Sebastian grow closer, they uncover secrets about their intertwined fates. Elena discovers that her own lineage is tied to the origin of the curse, and she must decide whether to trust Sebastian, risking the fabric of time itself, or let him remain trapped for eternity. Together, they face dangerous forces, ancient magic, and a race against time to uncover the truth. Hi guys. Thank you for checking my story. Hope you enjoy and follow me 🥰 Can't wait to know you all.

Lighthouse Keeper's Tale
an old lighthouse on the cliff-it was a mystery wrapped in legends. Eamon, the quiet keeper of the light, had lived alone by the storm-battered coast for years. The villagers whispered that he spoke to ghosts, that the lighthouse could guide lost souls as well as lost ships. When a stormy night brings Liora to the lighthouse door, drenched and shivering, Eamon realizes this visitor is different. Soon, Eamon learns the truth: Liora is one of the souls drawn to the Beacon, forever bound to its light. But Eamon's not the only one who notices. Finnian, a curious boy, sneaks out to uncover the truth, and Maeve, the village's storyteller, warns everyone that the sea never gives up its secrets lightly. When Captain Ronan, a retired sailor saved by the beacon years ago, returns, he and Eamon must uncover the mystery of Liora's lost love-and whether the beacon can bring her peace, or if her spirit is forever tied to its eerie light.

The Merchant
"They say every lighthouse keeper receives one last visitor to hear his story" said the Old Keeper "Oh! You think I am here to listen to your story?" the Sailor seemed amused "Yes" answered the Old Keeper in deep thought, looking to the sea. The Sailor broke the brief silence and said "Well it seems that I have to stay here for a while, looks like a storm is on its way..." he pointed out of the window to the now grey clouded sky "So go on, tell me your story." "My story?" "Yes your story!" "My story isn't mine, my story isn't about me" "YOUR story is NOT about 'You'?!" the Sailor humored. "What is it about then?! I hope it is not about another sea monster!" The Old Keeper turned to face the Sailor "No! Not a sea monster...a sea Master."
