There is something I need you to understand, my dear.
Not everything you see is as black and white as it seems.
How can I put this?...
Have you ever heard of the visual physiology of light and dark adaptation?
No? Well, how about this? Have you ever noticed how your vision becomes distorted when you go from a bright room to a dark one? Yes, that's it! Light and dark adaptation!
A very intriguing concept indeed, but what I am trying to clarify is that the distortion will eventually and always fade.
The only question left is, on which edge do you sway?

Sweet Dreams
Monsters are everywhere, but the human ones are the worst. At least the Creatures of the Night don't kid almost families, friends, neighbors, coworkers. Once reborn they live in the night. Sure, they do all of the same twisted things that humans do to one another, but they don't hide who they are. When you see them you know death is coming. You can predict the sick things they will do to you. But when the monster looks human, you're blindsided. One minute you're in love with a guy and the next he's slitting your throat. Trust me, I speak from experience. Gruesome things that use to make me sick now makes my stomach flutter in joy. I traded charming grins and blue eyes for carved smilies and orbs of onyx. I traded sunlight for the glow of the moon. I gave up living amongst humans for creatures of the night. And I wouldn't go back for anything in the world. I am finally home. I've spent so much time running from monsters that it's my turn to do the chasing. Sweet Dreams...
The Reaper King
The illusion of life and the desire for power often cloud us. They change our views, bias our hearts, justify our wars. But even though power demands payment, will that stop you from fighting for your dreams? In a universe where gods run rampant, mages decide the flow of history, and eldritch horrors hide in the darkest crevices of creation. Power and the right to command it and its consequences is earned, bled for, died for. Does the fire of hope shine bright, or does it burn black? Where evil boasts its name aloud and good slinks away wretchedly in the shadows, will you bend your knee? Or will you ascend and join the mighty legends? What is a king to a god? What is a god, to a non-believer?

Queen Of Ashes-Turning Pain Into Power
I believed many things in life but luck isn't one of them, until I met him. I never thought I would want to protect someone other than my family but he became the king in the game of chess where I was the queen. And a queen would always protect her king. A game, they started but I'll finish and win. I vowed to protect her. She isn't the black or white. She is the gray, the lightest shade. With all the white and hints of black. Siphoning my black, but never changing her shade. She is the sun peeking through the clouds. Giving enough light to see things through, not like bright sunshine that burns the skin neither hiding behind the clouds. Just enough.
SACRED ECHO
Have you ever wondered what love really is? Is it the kind of love we see in stories, or is it something deeper, something that pulls you in without warning?

Is it the moments of joy, or the quiet understanding in the darkest times? After reading their story, ask yourself: *What is love to you?* No , Not the one which you saw in movies or youtube or instagram reels neither the motivation lines you find in Pinterest apart from them what do you think love is to you ?Complete

Brothers Severance
We were one of a kind, both as an item and as individuals... We were highly symmetrical, yet still retained difference... But being similar does not mean you are the same. We WERE similar. We used to be... As people grow up, their true colors begin revealing. Some keep the morals they learned from early life, and others make their own. Sometimes it does not even have to do with what you are taught or what you have experienced. Human beings are born into a destiny, born with the pages of their lives written. Some are to be heroes and others are to be villains. Some people think that a person can change, but people do not change. It is only their true self that gets brought out with experiences and years of living. People are who they are and always will be that way. Hell, /I/ have not changed, my brother never changed. YOU will not change. I wish I had known before that I couldn't change him, maybe then things would have ended differently. But it is all over now and we have both served the price. He chose to fall from the top, and I chose to be crushed beneath it...Complete
