The New Life in the Afterlife
Death, ever wonder what it feels like? What it possibly could feel if you felt the concept of nothing around you with no say in the situation...? I did, once. Someone had it worse though.
Hades and Persephone
Persephone has already been kidnapped by Hades, her unwanted and unexpected suitor. Demeter has already cast a famine on all the humans in her grief. Hades struggles to win Persephone over...but perhaps Persephone has always been meant to be with him, and she wasn't an innocent as she was thought she was... Moderate explicit parts. *not finished* "Look, Persephone, you're a reasonable Goddess, more reasonable than most. You have to understand I was not born the Lord of the Underworld. The title was appointed to me because I was the unlucky one. My job is just as important as my brother's jobs. I wasn't selected because of my cruel ways but now because of the way people speak of me and fear me now I am the cruel one whether or not I like it. Do you honesty think it is fair that it should work that way? People take one look at me and assume I'm the devil." Persephone crouches back in her seat. I realize I am standing and seat myself, trying to calm myself. "Do you honestly think that being in charge of the dead and judging them makes me undeserving of love, of a wife? I'm doomed to be exiled down here. I don't even have the sun to keep me warm, Persephone. You're all the sun I have..." *This story is also not meant to be factually accurate, and is simply an interpretation of the story.

Children of Ash
What would you do in a world without light? A world where only the moon casts its pale glow upon the endless shadows? A world where you don't decide who you are, but where your birth determines your fate. Where prejudice is not just a belief but a law, shaping life and death. A world where hunger is constant, where shelter exists only for those who can earn it-or take it. But what if there was more? What if beyond the darkness lay another world-a world of light, of warmth, of hope? And what if the price of escaping the shadows was higher than you ever imagined?
𝐕𝐈. 𝐍𝐄𝐏𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐇𝐄 ➵ 𝐏𝐉𝐎 𝐱 𝐇𝐏
𝐍𝐄𝐏𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐇𝐄 | (n.) something that can make you forget grief or suffering Where there is life, there is death. Where there is light, there is darkness. There is a balance within the universe, always. Only two things remained infinite in the universe; death, and chaos. The lifespan of a demigod is one that is unbelievably short, but alas- death is inevitable. Lilith Jade died protecting those she loved, and she will continue to live through her loved ones. What happens when one equation is taken out of balance? The light, taken away and left them to succumb to the darkness. There is only one definite result; chaos. There is nothing more dangerous than a lovers' revenge; and there is nothing that is stopping them from getting back their light, even if they were running towards death. The end of times is coming; and there was nothing left for them to lose. When the light fades, the bell chimes; then comes chaos. [BOOK SIX OF THE 'ELYSIAN' SERIES]
Her Secret
I sighed heavily as I scanned the forest. I had heard something or someone to be specific, wandering about. I decided I would leave once I affirmed they weren't a danger. "What are you doing in my land, human?" A deep enchanting voice spoke I sighed once again "I'm not human, just smell like one" I spoke as I turned around to see the most stunning man I have ever seen "Mate" he spoke "Find another female, Lycan" I spat He only growled at me in response. Men. My brother was the same way. It's kinda funny how all, correction, most shifter men think alike. I would've thought he would be different, after all, he is Lycan. Something of myths. But then again, so are the supernatural. I turned away from him, not even looking at him. I didn't want to remember what he looked like so I didn't give him a second glance. I heard him move closer. I quickly grabbed the knife out of my holster and threw it at a tree next to him. He stops moving then. "Heed my warning. It's the only one you'll get" I spoke coldly "I will find you. Then you will have no escape from me" he spoke as he backed away I could understand. Lycans, like lion-shifters, were going extinct. Therefore mates were even more important to them. But, even if I understood I still didn't want to be someone's mate. After all, I was Destiny Requalhi, Creator and Destructor of All. ------------------------------ Destiny Requalhi, a girl with a rough past and set in stone future. She wanted to be a normal lioness when she grew up but got so much more. She constantly is looking behind her back ready for a random attack to bestow itself upon her. How will she react when her biggest enemy comes back from death? ------------------------------ MAY BE TRIGGERING TO SOME READERS!
