Have you ever wondered where does "inspiration" come from?
Airin did not think much about the exact answer to that question, she thought she had the answer for herself at least: Children. She truly believed that she was saved by the beauty of imagination, of inspiration that she saw in her young students at her work as a preschool teacher. She basked everyday in their creativity, imagination, and those strengthened her when her mother died suddenly, her relationship with her father went from bad to worse, and her life was turned upside down.
After a fight with her father, she ran away to a forest where she encountered two strangers: Xander, an injured royal warrior and Lyanna, a little girl who was also the crown princess of the kingdom of Halgard, a kingdom in another universe where myths and reality enmeshed. A kingdom favored by the gods Zeus and Apollo, a kingdom with such a powerful treasure: Elegarii, a treasure that greatly influenced the lives of human in Airin's universe too.
When she ended up in Halgard because of a cunning scheme of a sorceress, she thought Xander was the only person she could trust, until she uncovered secrets about his wounded past that made her heart tremble in doubt: Who is he really?
Among the chaos of a coming war with the evil forces, and the stakes that became so high, Airin fought for her life, and for her universe.
And in her struggle, she found out what love could do to a wounded heart, and a real, physical answer to the question: Where does "inspiration" come from?

Veiled in Light and Ruin
Every year, Lyra's village gathers beneath the ancient statues of the Fates, offering prayers and sacrifices to keep the creeping darkness at bay. The Ruined Kingdom stands in the distance, a forbidden place where no one enters and no one leaves. A place ruled by a king who does not age, does not die, and does not care for the world beyond his walls. Lyra has never believed in fate, only in survival. With her mother's health failing, she is willing to do whatever it takes to save what little she has left. But when this year's ritual goes terribly wrong, Lyra is taken-ripped from the life she knows and thrust into the heart of a kingdom lost to time. There, she is told she has been chosen. That she, along with others, must vie for the favor of a king no one has seen in over a century. But something is wrong within the castle's walls. Whispers of the past haunt her steps, and the King-cold, untouchable, and shrouded in secrets-watches her too closely. As shadows stir and forgotten magic awakens, Lyra begins to question everything she's been told about the Ruined Kingdom. And, more importantly, about herself. Because the deeper she delves into the mystery of the King and the kingdom he rules behind the walls, the more she realizes: Some destinies are written in blood. And some fates are meant to be broken.

The Alchemist's Starling
CURRENTLY EDITING "You belong to me - completely. I can do whatever I want to you, and no one can tell me otherwise. You're mine, Chisa Hatori; my little Starling..." I start sobbing, shaking my head frantically, rejecting the terrible truth. I thrash in his arms, trying to get away. Joseph laughs at my efforts, only tightening his grip until I can't move. The fingers of his right hand find my chin, forcing me to turn my head to the right. My blurry sight is greeted by his cool grey eyes, my stomach churns. He presses his forehead against mine - the mere physical contact has me shaking. "Do you know why the fae call you, The Alchemist's Starling?" I can't answer him... I'm lost in my own emotions. "The fae can sense you," he continues, "just as they can sense Alchemists. They saw your unique, purple locks fluttering in the wind when we went outside together - like the wings of a Starling. Of course, their kind adore you, and loathe us Alchemists. The fact that they cannot have you, makes them sad. Of course, because they saw you with me - they recognised that you were mine." Someone help me... Save me from him... ***** Chisa Hatori has had a hard life. Her father left, she watched her mother die, she was torn away from her sister and placed in foster care. Chisa is gifted; she has the Sight... and she is a Sleigh Beggy. However, she views her blessing as a curse, seeing terrifying monsters wherever she goes. Chisa has forgotten what it feels like to be loved, she doesn't want to live... That's when a certain Alchemist appears in her life... ***** *Sequel: 'The Starling's Secret' is now in progress 😊Complete
Miraculous Generation: The Awakening
It's been nearly two decades since the world last saw Ladybug and Cat Noir swing across the rooftops of Paris. Crime has dwindled, villains are a distant memory, and the Miraculous-magical jewels once wielded by teenage heroes-have faded into forgotten history. To the world, they were legends. To their children, they're just Mom and Dad. Emma Agreste, bold, headstrong, and always seeking adventure, feels trapped in the quiet life her parents have built. Her twin brother, Louis, is her opposite-thoughtful, cautious, and more comfortable behind a book than in the spotlight. Their younger brother, Hugo, is curious to a fault, with a knack for sneaking into places he shouldn't and asking questions no one wants to answer. But the Agreste siblings' peaceful life begins to fracture the day Emma discovers a strange pair of earrings hidden inside a locked drawer in their mother's studio-earrings that seem to shimmer with something more than just memory. At the same time, Hugo uncovers a cryptic book buried deep in the attic, written in a language that responds to him. And Louis? He starts having dreams-visions, really-of someone calling out for help from the past. When a powerful new threat emerges in the shadows of Paris, hunting down what remains of the Miraculous magic, Emma, Louis, and Hugo are forced into a world their parents never wanted them to know. A world of ancient kwamis, secret guardians, and enemies who have waited too long to strike. As the truth about their family's legacy unravels, so does the fragile trust between them. Emma is eager to embrace her destiny. Louis wants nothing to do with it. And Hugo? He might be more connected to the rising danger than anyone realizes. With their city on the brink, and their bond tested like never before, the Agreste siblings must learn what it truly means to be heroes-not just for the sake of Paris, but for each other. Because the greatest battles aren't always fought in costume. Sometimes, they begin at home.Complete
