He left for just a few days, only to return to a nightmare.

His wife, Mireya, pregnant with his child and full of light, had been accused, condemned, and hanged at the city gates for loving someone not quite human. Her body, left for the crows, was the message: she was never meant to carry his blood.

Grief turned to fury. What followed was fire.

He started a war-one that tore through nations, fueled not by politics or power, but by heartbreak. His enemies called him a monster. The world called him a curse. And he would have burned it all... until the prophecy came:

"She will return. Not as she was-but as she must be."

So he stopped. Vanished. Waiting through centuries, through silence, through sorrow. And now, in a new age where legends are forgotten, he feels it- her soul waking again in a stranger's body.

But can he love her without the past?
Can she love him without remembering who she was?
And will the world let them live, this time?

A tale of eternal love, wrath-born war, and a promise that defied time itself.All Rights Reserved

The sea god's maiden by Acidtomato888

She was born beneath a cursed prophecy-raised not for herself, but as a sacrifice promised to the gods. The Maiden of Tides, they called her, a weapon wrapped in white silk, destined to end the reign of the Sea God. He is no merciful deity. The ocean bends to his will, storms are his rage, and mortals are nothing but fleeting sparks against his eternity. Yet when prophecy delivers the Maiden to his shore, he does not see his end. He sees his beginning. Bound by fate, divided by blood and curses, their story was never meant to be love-it was ruin, desire, and destruction written in the stars. But the Sea God whispers a truth no prophecy foresaw: "Every kingdom, every soul, every star-I would burn them all just to keep you." And when the final tide rises, his last words will not be vows, but truth: "I was yours from the beginning... and I'll be yours until the end." A dark romance of sacrifice, prophecy, and forbidden desire-where love may save the world... or drown it.

Waiting for You Forever by KimEunae54

She had it all-his love, his trust, his unwavering heart. But in a moment of weakness, she chose a path that shattered everything. Her betrayal wasn't just of a promise; it was of a soul deeply entwined with hers. When he discovered the truth, he left-not in anger, but in silence, carrying the pain like a wound too deep to ever heal. He never looked back, and he never returned. She begged for forgiveness, haunted by the weight of what she had done. Days turned into months, months into years, yet her heart remained chained to a hope that refused to die. Every knock at the door, every passing shadow stirred a flicker of belief-maybe today, he'll come back. But he never did. Now she lives with the ghost of her choices, trapped in an endless cycle of regret and longing. His absence echoes louder than any goodbye, and though the world moved on, she stood still-forever waiting for the love she lost, and the forgiveness that never came.

To Pieces (LoZ - Link) by AWildDevon

My first piece of advice to you-- Don't fall in love. I don't care if it's fate, if it's your destiny-- whatever it is-- Don't. It's not worth the consequences. My second piece of advice-- If a fairy approaches you talking about accepting your fate and what not-- turn around and walk away. Don't look back. Don't question it. Shouldn't be hard if you aren't in love. There's no consequences if you aren't in love. If you are, it's too late for you, and I'm sorry. You won't make it to the end of the story. And if you're me, well... I think you've already accepted that fate, and I think its about time to play your part. You wont make it to the end of the story, either.

The Man Who Spoke of Death by crexelj31n

They said he was a curse made flesh - a man whose words carried the taste of endings. His name was Erevan, though few who spoke it ever lived long enough to whisper it twice. Wherever he walked, silence followed. Lamps flickered, birds fell still, and even the wind dared not breathe. Yet despite the darkness that wrapped him like a second skin, people could not look away. There was something magnetic in his grief - the kind of sorrow that felt almost holy. Erevan's mission was not to kill, but to express. To make the world understand what death truly felt like - the emptiness, the surrender, the quiet beauty of finality. Each person he met saw a reflection of their own pain in his words... and in understanding him, they unknowingly invited their own demise. Every word he spoke became an omen, every step a requiem. And somewhere between despair and destiny, Erevan began to wonder - was he the messenger of death... or death itself learning to speak?

Convenant: Mysteries untold by AuraSycnedGrant

‎--- ‎ ‎Prologue: When Time Bled ‎ ‎In the beginning, the world was silent. ‎ ‎The rivers had not yet carved the earth. The skies had not yet known the sun. All that existed was Time-endless, unbroken, untamed. ‎ ‎From that void, a figure stepped forth. Cloaked in eternity, crowned by shadows, he was the first to name himself Lord. The Lord of Time. ‎ ‎With a gesture, he unraveled nothingness into hours, minutes, seconds. With a breath, he bound stars to their paths, chained suns to their cycles, and shackled mortals to the fleeting measure of their days. ‎ ‎But even Time cannot reign without hunger. And so he reached beyond his dominion, seeking vessels in which to pour his power-creatures, mortals, children who might one day carry fragments of his eternity. ‎ ‎Most shattered beneath the weight. ‎ ‎One did not. ‎ ‎From the loins of man and the womb of woman, he planted a seed: an heir. A child of two worlds. Flesh and blood... and eternity. ‎ ‎Yet fate has always been cruel. ‎ ‎The mother, cast into the desolate Survival Lands, bore her son in exile. She fed him with her hands, shielded him with her body, and prayed he would never hear the ticking of the father's clock within his veins. ‎ ‎But the Lord of Time does not forget. ‎ ‎For though the world may bleed and the stars may crumble, every hour returns to him. Every path converges at his throne of broken hours. ‎ ‎And when the child of covenant rises, his steps shall echo across timelines, shattering bonds, forging pacts, and tearing open mysteries long untold. ‎ ‎The covenant has already been written. ‎The question is only this: ‎ ‎Will he break it-or be broken by it? ‎ ‎ ‎---

It was an endless cycle where he'd never fall for you. You've been betrayed and disappointment that Link will never accept you for who you are. You are born as half demon of the Dragon-Phoenix.

Maybe this time he'll be the one to swear his true love to you forevermore. Or, once again, you'll spend another lifetime crying for a love you'll never be able to set free.
