Lilah Desmarias had been anticipating her 18th birthday ever since she found out what a Filipino debut was: fancy coming of age ball, formal attire, dance numbers, and just a big, grand night. Before she knew it, the planning stages were almost over, and it was a week before the party, the day of her real birthday. Little did she know, she would be forced into the middle of a war between two descendant lines of two important Filipino demigods: Mayari, the Moon Goddess, and her brother, Apolaki, the Sun God, who had fought over who got to rule the Earth in the myth that spoke of how night and day came to be. The two descendant lines had been enemies for centuries, one believing that their ancestor won the fight fair and square, and the other line separating, running, and hiding in hopes to save their lives. To add to the crazy, she finds out they're all on a hunt for Mayari and Apolaki reincarnations, who are rumored to come back for a second battle, this time without a sibling bond to hold the two back.
Now Lilah's life is between the mythological world she had learned to be more reality than myth, and the normal human life she was living, full of boy troubles and decisions about college.

Blood Oath
Pandora is a world bound by ancient laws, where clans survive through fragile alliances and the spirits of nature listen in silence. Here, power is paid for in blood, and love between leaders can become an act of war. Zay'nari, the Tsahik and queen of her clan, is known as The Moonborn Queen and The First and the Final Light. The stars answer her call, and the night itself seems to bend to her will. She knows a great power sleeps within her, but its true nature - and the secrets of her origin - remain hidden. When awakened, they may change Pandora forever. Varkhan, feared as the Bonebreaker, is the leader of a rival clan shaped by war. His strength is merciless, his will unyielding. He is neither hero nor tyrant, but a weapon forged by fire and necessity. Their clans have never been allies. Fire and night do not unite by choice. When a greater threat forces the clans into an uneasy alliance, a bond between Zay'nari and Varkhan becomes forbidden - dangerous enough to shatter the fragile balance holding Pandora together. What begins in hostility slowly turns into a dangerous trust, then into something far more powerful. This is a dark epic tale of forbidden love, ancient power, and a union that may save Pandora - or be the beginning of its end.

Mythology [Moon Knight]
Contains Moon Knight spoilers. Everyone knows that the MCU had a ton of Gods hovering across their universe, ready to be discovered. Unbeknownst to others, there were other unknown gods that lived at died for their realm. Like the Egyptian Gods, there was a certain Goddess that picked her own avatar. To maintain peace among Moon gods. Mayari was the Philippine Goddess of the Moon. She was known by Filipinos from around the provinces in Luzon and some places in Visayas and Mindanao (idk, I'm just making this up.) yet none gets to know her existence unless they went to the internet. Her avatar was someone so pure, yet someone so dark. A dream in the eyes of many, yet a nightmare in the eyes of a few. Khonshu seeks for Mayari's help, leading for their avatars to meet and work together as one. Though unlike the Egyptian God, Mayari wasn't always with her avatar. The fated souls started to meet, breaking one in order for another to fix and love it. (I don't own majority of the characters, it all belongs to Marvel except for the OC. I don't do well in Fanfictions so bare with me. It's probably cringe so yeah.)

Blood of Forgotten Gods
Blood of the Forgotten Gods By Velastrea For centuries, the world believed the old gods simply vanished. That they faded into myth under the shadow of colonization and the rise of religion. But the truth was buried-literally. The Spanish conquest was not just a thirst for land or souls-it was a secret mission ordered by the Vatican to hunt down the ancient gods, goddesses, and anitos of the world. One by one, they were captured, chained, or forced into hiding, their names erased from prayers and pages. Their temples burned. Their stories silenced. But the blood of the divine cannot be killed. Mayari, a quiet Filipina girl from a remote province, was born with power humming in her veins. At two, she healed the dying. At ten, she made the crops bloom in a dying land. At eighteen, her eyes glow like the moon when she prays. Her family has hidden her gifts all her life, but destiny can only be delayed, not denied. Now, haunted by visions of gods in chains and guided by whispers of a past buried in the roots of her bloodline, Mayari must journey into the heart of the enemy-the Vatican itself. To awaken the imprisoned, to reclaim the forgotten, and to ignite the divine war long overdue. Because the gods are not dead. They are waiting.
The King's Slave (The Nine Realms #1)
"Our next is a girl of eighteen summers. She has smooth, unblemished skin and has been schooled in the arts of love and seduction. But most of all, she is untouched." my auctioneer and captor said as he paraded me in front of the men. They eyed their fill of my body but they were forbidden to touch. "Bidding starts at two hundred pieces of silver." I was returned towards the stage as the men stated their prices. I was a rare commodity: a slave girl yet untouched, eighteen, fertile when the land has been struck with a plague that left women barren. The price for me reached eight hundred silver coins and many have already backed down. "Two hundred gold coins!" a man spoke up. It was he, the man who stared at me with passion and desire in his eyes moments ago. That was quite a sum for a slave! "Two hundred gold coins going once, twice... Sold to the King of Ivaris!" the auctioneer shouted. There it was. My fate was sealed. I am a love slave and it is just my luck that I am sold to the same cruel king that destroyed my kingdom. *A story of love, of gods and goddesses, of reincarnation and magic, intrigue and betrayal, of kings and war...*Complete
