"Promise me, Sayang," Ima with her ragged breath and wrinkled face pleads. Her frail, shaking hands grabbing her sides tightly.
The young, soaked, and lighting-haired girl looks at the woman before her. Pale gold eyes aflame with fright. Her belly festers with knots and rabid bats.
"Promise me, child!" Ima cries desperately. Ghastly white irises trembling at the roaring waters beneath the cliff. 
Gigantic waves crash against the rocky terrain. The ocean grumbles and roars in her sleep. 
Gusty winds rattle Ima's ceremonial bell necklace. The sky answers the deafening crash of the waves with a thunderous clap.
Ima's trembling fingers squeeze her waist. Her blind eyes wild with horror. 
"We have no time," she gasps in dread and then her croaky voice bellows, "Say it, child!".
Chaos
"I-I" Sayang stutters. Breath caught in her throat. Trees sway with the wind. Their roots grappling the soil in vain. 
"I promise, Ima." she finishes.
Silence
"Good." Ima releases a deep breath. Arms enveloping the shaking frame before her. 
"Never set your foot in the ocean. Never sail. Never anger the gods. Do you understand me, child?" Ima's raspy voice echoes in her head as her warm hands untangle her knotted hair.

*

On the night of her coming of age ceremony, an enemy tribe ransacked Sayang's village. Cursed by the moon and the ocean, Sayang has nowhere to run but north. North to where? She doesn't know. At least not yet. Read to follow her adventure to self-discovery and the truth behind her birth.All Rights Reserved

Tales Of The Wisp ~AYU INDAH by Kantha1

What just happened?" I ask aloud, shaking my head to dispel the fog clouding it. "Pa?" "Honey!" I called out for my husband. "Paaaa!" I shouted, my voice slicing through the stillness, desperation lacing each syllable. Silence hung in the air, a heavy blanket that muffled the echoes of mundane chores and chatter. A lingering sense of confusion settled in... Wait, where did everyone go? Helloooo! As I rose unsteadily and swept my gaze across the landscape, a chill crept up my spine. Instead of the garden I had imagined myself to be, I found an alien environment that sent my heart racing! I stood right there, shadows lingering around me, as if the world had forgotten to move on without me. A distant animal cry echoes, a reminder that nature thrives in its rawest form. Here, the world feels alive, unrestrained, and fierce. Every rustle of leaves and distant call of a creature echo the raw beauty of a wilderness, shaking me to my core. How the f*ck did I get here? I never left. I was in the same place, but somewhere in another era, at another time.. Enchantment, mysticism, and wonder all come together. Step into a world where the boundaries of the real and the imagined blur as the fabric of time and space intertwine. The Myth of Ayu Indah is about an Aboriginal beauty and her struggles to belong in ancient times; and the other, a contemporary woman who appears to have lost her enchantment while adjusting to life in the country following a recent move. Both are seeking fulfillment in life. Transported to a bygone age through a dream journey that crossed time, where the protagonist unearthed hidden truths that led to her transformative journey of self-discovery. In the end, they both realized that the capacity-the power-to uncover the enduring, awe-inspiring beauty of simply existing and being loved lies within them all along.

Finding Yasmine by thatyorubagyal

Yasmine is a star girl, with plans for the future, good grades and a boyfriend to top it up but how can she survive when her enemies are her family, a menacing father willing to give her out without a second thought, a step mother cruel enough to be Shaytan himself and a step sister who's jealousy burns from within, a drive that's enough to kill a person. As her world comes crumbling down, will she crumble with it or stand in the midst of the rumble. _________ I'm not going to cry I'm not going to cry I'm not going to cry He chuckled wickedly as Hauwa stoked his hand tenderly. 'At first it was about your virginity but you were stubborn so I took it slow, till I got what I wanted' he said, his eyes void of emotion. 'Turns out you're easy and a slut at that' he completed as Hauwa laughed heartily. Tears fell from my eyes freely, like a waterfall, like dew on the desert. I swallowed to ease my parched throat as I bit my lips trying not to scream. My breath was becoming uneven as I strode to where he stood and slapped him across the face with all the anger, the sorrows and frustration that were bottled up on me. 'You disgust me' I managed to say as tears started to blur my vision and for a second I saw hurt in his eyes or maybe I assumed it. I ran, bumping into tables, chairs and people, I didn't care. Ammi always told me there was a thin line between love and hate and I had crossed that line today with Sadiq', the one that wiped away my tears and told me it was going to be fine, my calm after the storm was actually my enemy in disguise. Shit!!! When it rains it fucking pours. ____________ Will she loose herself or find love in the most unexpected place?

Beyond the Deep Water by IvetteMartinez01

CLOSE YOUR EYES AND IMAGINE THIS WORLD. Gods are created by a mighty force, a force to balance the universe, every galaxy, world, and life. **** Camille tastes the blood on her lips. She's nauseous and weak; still, she forces her brain to stay awake. Ignoring the pain of reopening old injuries. There are more bruises she can't hide, more pain to bear, but she's finally tired to do it in silence. She wipes the humiliating tears off her face. "Don't you dare touch me again." she defies the monster. "I don't even think God is on your side," he says with a reeking smell of alcohol. At the same time, a loud thunder with the brightest lightning illuminates the sky, the rain pours heavily A tall man elegantly walks forward, evidently upset he glances at the girl with the corner of his beautiful crystal blue eyes, tearing apart the man who has dared to put his hands on the girl he's been trying to protect. "A leech like you would never understand the depths of my trust for this girl." The God of Water stands behind her, like a bodyguard. "Giving up has never been an option for you, perhaps taking the garbage out of your way can help you find your freedom." The mysterious man says. Just as he finishes his sentence, a bolt of lightning strikes loudly in the sky. He turns to face the monster as he freezes in shock, He knows, this time he won't be forgiven.

Silhouette In The Eclipse by Serah1510

Volume One: Tear the whole world down (Completed) Volume Two: Soon to be published °°° When the sun and moon join as one, the bringer of chaos shall return and wreak havoc and the realms will return to what it once was... an eternal calm for destruction. That is what the five realms believed. Little did they know that the caelestian that controlled the darkness would be their savior and would bring them peace but that would never happen for the realm of Iracundia. The demons that rule that realm want nothing more than the destruction of the other realms and for them to reign supreme. And so the little caelestian, having no knowledge of what's really at stake, escapes from Iracundia and finds refuge on Terrae. For seven years, Serah had known peace but that is all shattered when a lone soldier attacks her with the same darkness that's just like hers °°° °°° It only took a lie to make me believe it was real... It only took a tear to see what I was going through... Just one promise to make me smile again... But I knew that the biggest lie in this world was promises... I had a soul so broken and betrayed, no one could ever save me... Cause the girl who once believed in fairytales and magic... Had to be struck by reality with demons in my mind and the fear of never being loved... But this story isn't a sad one... it's a real one... It's a story about a girl who fought through a storm she thought would never end

The Light of Tala by LunaMoreno75

In the modern-day Philippines, the ancient and mystical world of the gods quietly interweaves with human existence. Tala, the radiant Goddess of the Stars, has long guided humanity with her celestial light, though her presence has waned as the world becomes more consumed by technology and forgets the magic of the night sky. Lucas, a young astronomer shattered by a personal tragedy, abandons his passion for the stars and becomes a recluse. His life takes an extraordinary turn when he witnesses a brilliant star falling from the sky, leading him to a divine encounter with Tala. Weakened by the diminishing belief in her, Tala seeks Lucas's help to rekindle the light of the stars and restore balance to the celestial realm. Their journey takes them across the Philippines, spreading tales of celestial wonders and reigniting humanity's awe for the stars. However, their growing bond and mission awaken Bakunawa, a fearsome sea serpent who desires to plunge the world into darkness by consuming the stars. With the aid of Amihan, the Goddess of the Wind, and Haliya, the Goddess of the Moon, Tala and Lucas face trials that test their resolve and faith. As the disturbances in the natural order escalate, Tala and Lucas must confront Bakunawa in an epic battle. With the fate of the stars hanging in the balance, Tala makes a heart-wrenching sacrifice, risking her celestial essence and their burgeoning love to protect humanity. "The Light of Tala" is a tale of love, sacrifice, and the enduring power of belief. It weaves together ancient mythology and modern struggles, reminding us that even in the darkest times, the stars will always guide us home.

The Dea → Peter Pan ✔ by abouttoexpplode

In which a boy who thinks he controls everything meets the girl who actually does. --- Peter Pan is king of Neverland, a mystical island of his own creation. His Lost Boys serve as his troops and have been his only company for the last millennium. Until his shadow brought a girl to Neverland, by the name of Wendy Darling. But she's not the one this story's about. Why? It's simple. Because she's dead. She broke Peter's heart, so he killed her. Only he and the Lost Boys know what happened the night Wendy disappeared, and Peter means to take the secret to his grave, assuming he ever dies, of course. If the Lost Boys know what's good for them, they will too. None of the other creatures on the island have any idea of what became of the one girl who had ever set foot on Neverland. However, what at first seems to be a siren with a know-it-all attitude threatens to change all that. She knows exactly why Peter's heart is shattered. But what she wants to do with that information is, for the very first time, is absolutely unclear to Peter. That doesn't sit well with the Ruler of Neverland. And whatever doesn't sit well with Peter, he either figures it out or kills it. The problem is, he can't seem to manage to do the first option, and for some reason, can't bring himself to do the second. --- Dea: Goddess [Latin]

Believing in Miracles [COMPLETE] by vacissitude

In the beginning she was alive, her soul bare for this man, loved him with every fiber of her being. She was willing to give up everything that she had for him and worked hard for the future they both hoped for each other; when he still existed. She loved him but did he ever feel the same way? He was loving, caring, and kind; everything a girl could ever wish for in a man. The words destructive and inhuman would've never crossed her mind to describe her husband; or was she so stupid to see it all from the very beginning? Every day she prayed to the man above that the love and attention she constantly gave him would be enough to change such characteristic; no, flaw. But it wasn't so. Every day was a battle, getting worse and worse; that one day she just snapped. ***STRONG PLOT AND LANGUAGE*** ***UPDATE*** To my great surprise, this story has been getting more reads than I ever thought possible. I reread what I wrote once again and tried not to cringe at the many errors and awful sentence structure I had. So in the spirit of Christmas I will try to edit and perfect this story. There wouldn't be changes in the plot, just hopefully a better way of sharing my thoughts. If it's still crap, then I apologize I'm only human :) ****
