*The acrid scent of smoke crept towards them in the chill air, growing more pungent and they came to a sudden stand still. All heads raised to the sky in response to the hysteric cries of a flock of forest birds flying north. Dalyia stood frozen. Her mind worked too slow for comfort; trying to understand the noise. What would cause the birds to act in such a manner? She felt her brows pull together, forming a frown. It deepened on her face as she glanced back down and around the group of guards. Their expressions mirrored the confusion within her own. She caught Nuri's wide eyes and watched her breathing slow.
Her senses finally registered the atmosphere amongst the forest trees. They stood eerily quiet, not a sound could be discerned from the animals she knew were hiding within. Dalyia bristled and her nostrils began to flare involuntarily as the thought that previously evaded her settled at the fore-front of her mind. Danger was near. The birds were flying north...north in the opposite direction of the city which was situated in the south.
Abruptly, she registered the taste of burning wood and earth. Her fingers began to curl and shake with agitation as her blood pumped within her veins, incensed by the tension devouring her body. Her eyes focused on Nuri again as she watched her observe the birds clambering frantically over each other. She willed her sister to open her mouth as her blood now screamed at her in urgency.
She heard the soft whisper in the silent night, "Lyia I smell burning".*
If you were to ask Dalyia to introduce her self to you, she would tell you that she was your slightly above ordinary woman who was comfortable with her place within her world, living an ordinary life. Btw, she would prefer it stayed that way, ordinary.
But apparently, fate is a bitch and just doesn't want to cooperate.
Welcome to Eoghan. The world of Spirits.

Wild Hearted
This story begins in the country of Britannia. A country where several certain races live with one another. And at the center of these races stood a girl. A beautiful girl with wild molten hair and eyes that reflected the universe. She was the creation of love and the child of wilderness. She was someone full of wisdom, wisdom she had gathered from centuries of experience. Many don't know how she was born, some saying that she was the daughter of the blazing sun while others say that she was born from ashes during an alluring eclipse. The name they called her? Malaika Kya. Angel from the diamond sky. For eons she wandered, visiting many kingdoms and gaining many friends. She battled battles that many would have died from, protecting those she holds dear. Slowly, her family began to grow. Person by person, home by home, kingdom by kingdom. Her heart spreading the biggest of wings. But then it happened. The one she loved most was attacked, almost dying because of someone's idiocy. And so she fought. She fought for her dying family, soon gaining the powers of the internal flame buried deep inside her. Screeching her painful cry, she fought in her new form with all her might. But it wasn't enough as it's hand sprouted from her body. Tears fell from the eyes of her lover, his eyes wide as he watched her body wither in pain. Hey dark eye were gentle a she watched his physical pain disappear, his wounds sealed shut as he snatched her closer one more time. Softly she apologized, saying words she wanted so badly to say before sealing their goodbye with a kiss. After one last smile, she disappeared into the fire below, her body dissipating into the molten flames as her words echoed into the soundless wind. "Mind telling me about that promise again?"Concluida
The Blade and The Bird
She'd spent many years playing in this forest as a child. While Selene had enjoyed her novels in the warmth of the house, a blanket wrapped around her narrow shoulders, Sidra always came home covered in mud and scrapes from hours out in the wilderness. She'd take an axe out into the forest and pretend to fight off monsters, the terrifying Mystics that her grandmother had told her stories about. She'd pretend to fight Lycans, knocking out their massive teeth one by one. She'd stand atop rocks and throw her axe at the trees, pretending they were wood nymphs come to steal her away. She'd always return home and tell Selene about the monsters she'd fought that day, spinning together a story of courage and bravery for her little sister. She felt that pain in her heart again as she thought of those times. Through the years, she'd stop going into the woods to play, and she'd instead find stories for Selene. Books of all sizes and shapes, no matter the content, because it made her feel close to her sister just as she had before her parents died. She thought of her family now, how she was all alone. Her parents had been gone for years, her grandmother, and now even Selene was missing somewhere. She needed to find her sister, she couldn't lose the last bit of her family. **Concluida

Digitalis
"Walking into the small cave now was almost bland, the power too familiar to notice. The fact that the den seemed to lighten instead of darken as it should was encouraging instead of ominous. Thalana followed the path, each step taken with the confidence of a master who had performed the same task thousands of times. As she exited the other side she found herself among a field that, by all logical reasoning, should not have been there. Thalana knew there was some deep magic at play, that she wasn't home anymore, that she was somewhere else, but she had ceased caring long ago. The herbs she collected were useful, and so she ignored the magic burning at the back of her neck. Except this time wasn't the same as before. This time, someone was waiting for her." When Thalana discovers a threat to her people, she travels to the capitol city of Oni Nalore to warn her High Chieftan. When the Chieftan dismisses her fears, however, she realizes she cannot rely on the hierarchy and takes the burden of the defense of her people upon herself, embarking on a journey to unite the clans and gain the insight necessary to defeat this danger.Concluida

My Funeral
Have you ever wondered what your funeral would be like if you died one day? Qiu Xue had attended several funerals, including her paternal grandfather's, paternal grandmother's, maternal grandfather's, and maternal grandmother's. Every one of them, without exception, had been a traditional funeral where men were superior to women. From childhood to adulthood, and from observing norms to questioning them, were those traditional rituals and customs truly unshakable? Family, friends, work, daily life, and the Internet-no matter where she went, everything was filled with the framework of traditional gender roles. The harsh voices, every day, every minute, every second, never stopped and never changed. Qiu Xue longed for light, but being in the darkness, she could not find the world of light. All she could do was write down her fantasies in a notebook, imagining and expressing herself page after page. "In this life, I've often struggled with gender inequality. Do I really have to face the same troubles that plagued me throughout life in this final journey?" "If this means the soul will be in pain and no place to return to, then so be it." "As someone already dead, I no longer fear pain, I no longer fear loneliness." "What I fear are the depressions that haunted me while I was alive." "All I want is to be free in this last stretch of the road, even if only for a short while, I'd still take it." "I just want to be, once again, happy." She fell into darkness but still held onto a small glimmer of hope. She escaped the world, found safety in the snow globe, and shut herself into that tiny world. The world of the snow globe was simple and beautiful, free from the hustle and bustle of reality. It was a pure land in her heart and an ideal world. But one day, such beauty was eroded, and the snow globe malfunctioned. As if foreshadowing something, the broken snow globe could not be repaired. It seemed to hide some secret. It was both the end and the beginning.Concluida

Unintentional Passion
Geovanni Have you ever gotten that feeling that somebody was watching you? And that person who was watching you wasn't normal. I have felt that way all of my life; but then again I felt as if I went missing nobody would even notice or care I was gone. I am 23 and just graduated from college. I was there an extra year because I had to take care of my family. I had to transfer back into the city and pick up the extra work because my mom died, and my dad became addicted to anything that would numb his pain. My little sister and brother would be lost without me here. But now I could care less. A cold breeze blew through my window waking me up from my thoughts. I looked over in the corner and saw that nothing was there. It was odd because I felt like someone well more like something was there. It had to be my imagination getting the best of me. I laid back in my bed and closed my eyes. Then all of a sudden I got the feeling I wasn't alone. But the really strange thing is that even if there was someone in here with me I felt safe. Jordan. I watched her as she slept. In fact I have been watching her since she was born. I have waited half a century to find that one person. I think I have finally settled on her. She was my choice. I know. After being in as many relationships as I have you know things. I felt my fangs tingle. Her blood smelled so sweet. Her heartbeat was steady and strong. I took my tongue and ran it across my fang. The temptation to indulge in her red liquid was far too strong. I let out a low growl and jumped out her window. I was ready for a hunt. "Did you see her Jordan?" "Yes, and tomorrow night you will turn her," "Why do I have to turn her?" "Ezra, you know once you turn them, they hate you," "I didn't hate pops," "You wanted to join though," "True, but first see if she wants to be turn before you jump to conclusions," I nodded my head, before me and Ezra took off to find some fresh blood for the night.WHEN CROWS PAINT THE SKY
