Holding her breath, Claudia lay her head down against the ground and willed herself to be somewhere else. Anywhere else. When she had desired more adventure in her life, this was not at all what she meant! While the garden they were in was beautiful, with uniform, perfectly dispersed trees that let the evening sun shine through with a heavenly golden light, and well-kept paths for anyone to walk, Claudia wished she was enjoying the scenery as a visitor, rather than a fugitive.
She could not see Lucius at all from her position, but she could hear him as he moved like a panther through the garden, the rustle of grass his only giveaway. What was he planning to do? Did he have a plan at all?
For a long, long time, the garden remained silent. In fact, Claudia was about ready - nay, desperate - to stand up and look around, when from a distance she heard a shout, the clinking of swords, a terrible 'squish' sound, then nothing at all.
**
Follow the journey of two distinguished members of the Roman Empire, during the time of Christ's ministry on the earth as they discover the true meanings of 'love', and 'sacrifice'...

This story switches between two points of view, the switches marked clearly by '***'. This story does not contradict teachings of the Bible, but merely shows the happenings of Jesus' death, burial and resurrection from a different perspective. I hope you enjoy the read, and learn something new about our wonderful God!

Must be 18+ to read "Turn over," Roman demanded I obeyed-slow, deliberate. He pulled my ass up into the air and slapped it again, kneading both cheeks as he positioned himself behind me.

Like The Thunder Roaring
"The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. He was in the World, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God--children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God. The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth." (John 1:9-14) What that first Easter might have been like. The climax of God's plan for humanity, from Palm Sunday to Peter's reinstatement. Main title and chapter titles are from songs that I used to capture the mood of the moment, as it were, and I would really encourage you to listen to them. They are: Main title: "Glory" by The City Harmonic 1. without a crown: "Baby Boy" by For King & Country 2. the taste of eternity is here on our lips: "Taste of Eternity" by Bellarive 3. let me see redemption win: "Worn" by Tenth Avenue North 4. i heard a voice from the other side singing, "hold fast, love lasts.": "Without You" by For King & Country 5. when you know it, once you know it, and you hold it--it's unforgettable: "To The Dreamers" by For King & Country 6. keep my head from going down: "Something To Believe In" by Parachute 7. i could use a fresh beginning, too: "Learning to Breathe" by Switchfoot (cover by @sugarcrystals, who is amazing and you should really check out her work. Both writing wise and cover wise. I literally gave her "thunder storm themed" and she came up with that. Because I am useless at giving hints.)Complete
Tempted to Touch
Two strangers. One room. A fight for freedom and faith. When ROMAN surrendered his life to faith, he believed every box was checked, every battle fought, and every temptation conquered. His heart was steady, his convictions firm. Or so he thought. Then, the moment that changed everything. An unexpected twist of fate placed him face-to- face with PARIS-a woman whose beauty was undeniable, but whose presence stirred questions he thought he buried long ago. In that instant, Roman realised that faith wasn't a finish line. It was a journey. This journey would test not just his beliefs but the very strength of his soul. PARIS...... Faith? That was something she admired from a distance, like sunlight through a stained-glass window, beautiful but unreachable. She had her own rules, her own strength, and she thought that was enough until the day she met him. Roman. A man whose calm presence and unwavering convictions unsettled her in many ways, she couldn't explain. Hey readers! Please note that new chapters are posted daily. ThanksComplete

There is no movies or books that I seen that are close to the games story type. Took it into my own hands basically. If you like it you like it if not then not.

(It is copywritten from the game) (Rights reserved to capcom) (This book is generally 100% complete. I will only be going back one more time to add pics of the map. ) Now the people that have never played the games here is what this one is about... Claire Redfield.

Vigilis
Ten years after the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, Rome awakens to a new threat - Christianity. When whispers of this strange and growing faith reach the capital, the Emperor appoints Marc Procus, a celebrated Vigilis and master investigator, to uncover its secrets and silence its leaders. Torn from his work on the cold case of Julius Caesar's assassination, Procus is ordered to trace the followers of this Christian movement across the empire - and interrogate anyone connected to it, including Pontius Pilate, the disgraced former governor of Judea. His mission leads him on a perilous journey across Mare Nostrum - Our Sea - from the alleys of Rome to the islands of Greece, the ports of Asia Minor, and finally, the turbulent streets of Jerusalem. On Crete, Procus meets his first Christian family and is shaken by their humble faith. In Tarsus, his confrontation with Pilate forces him to question everything he believes about justice, loyalty, and Rome itself. As the empire teeters on the brink of rebellion, Marc's growing sympathy for the Christians marks him as a traitor. Back in Rome, political conspiracies erupt, and his wife and children become pawns in a deadly game of power. Now, as time runs out, Procus must choose between the empire he swore to serve and the faith that has captured his soul. Can he reach Rome in time to save his family - and himself? From the author of The Scribe, Paddy, Land of Our Father, Darerca, and The Soaring Spirit comes a sweeping tale of faith, loyalty, and redemption set against the might and madness of imperial Rome.Complete

DIVINE LOVE
Hello everyone.... So this is my first story content that I write. This story is totally based on fiction...in which have a lot of fantasy, mystery, romance and thriller...it's just an imagination. If you start reading, so you can't stop to yourself to know...what's the next? "This is the tale of a girl and a boy-two souls bound by destiny. She is a girl who carries endless warmth within her heart, a softness spun from dreams and devotion. Her love for him is fierce yet tender, an intensity that could melt even the coldest of hearts. She alone holds the power to turn his silence into song, his cruelty into care, and his heartlessness into a divine, love-soaked tenderness. For him, she is not just love-she is transformation itself. He, on the other hand, is a man carved from stone-ruthless, unfeeling, feared by the world. His heart knows no gentleness, no mercy, no emotion... except when it beats for her. For her, he burns with a passion that borders on obsession, a divine fire that consumes only in her presence. To the world he remains untouchable, cold and cruel, but before his little beloved, he softens, melts, and surrenders-becoming hers in the truest, most profound way." "Both of them had walked through tragedies so dark that their hearts were scarred forever. Yet, neither of them knew that life was about to change completely. From enemies, they would slowly turn into lovers-destined for each other. When together, they created a kind of magic that only true souls can make. They became each other's biggest support system, healing one another in ways no one else ever could. In every prayer, they carried each other's name, and with every heartbeat, they kept falling deeper into a divine and eternal love." I need your love and support. I am a little bit nervous but it's gives me an excitement also and some another level of happiness. Interesting twists on the way. WARNING:- This context may based on sexual harassment, drinking, smoking, and dark sences.
