As Miyu-ra discreetly changed clothes, Saet-sa turned away, respecting her privacy. When he looked back, he was stunned by her transformation. Without her usual intricate patterns, she appeared as a normal woman, her beauty illuminated by the firelight. "It's quite the disguise," Saet-sa remarked, curious. Miyu-ra smiled mysteriously, hinting at secrets untold.

#1 spiritual powers 30/08/22 "......your soul? It's beautiful, unlike the ones I have seen here, it's quite unique" "But surrounded by dark mists, you see if you ask me I think it's really dark inside and it's gradually dying" he replied still looking straight lost in his thoughts as the moon rays continued to embrace his face. For a moment they both said nothing. It looked late, everywhere was cloudy and a gigantic moon covered half of the sky. Everywhere looked empty, dry, imaginary. They were both seated on a bench, One was dashingly handsome with nice features but still looked ordinary. Humanly. But the other one was different, with gigantic white wings covering her back, Beautiful? yes, amazingly beautiful, with her long red hair and beautiful long red gown. But possessed a very powerful dark Aura. "Let me save you" She faced him this time, no longer in her thoughts holding his rough hands gently. "Running to a pretty demon for help.... ehhh I'm not sure about that" he replied jokingly as he couldn't help but caress her soft cheeks. "I don't know if you are here to save me or destroy me, but I will trust you" "I'm not sure about that too Alex, but let's give it a try" He nodded then disappeared into thin air. "Trust?" She couldn't help but mumble to herself, as tears could be seen slowly sliding down her cheeks, And her wings gradually changing to its original color, Black. Then he woke up. It was just a dream. #1 spiritual powers 30/08/22.

Desolate by nyxschreibt

Beneath the cold, unblinking gaze of the moon, they once stood united, two halves of a whole, bound by chains forged from passion and tempered by tragedy. A man who clawed his way back from hell, a builder by trade, yet destined for ruin. A woman who equally knows both love and war, a wandering soul unable to find her way back to herself. Excerpt: -" I am broken-utterly, hopelessly worthless in and out. That's why I cling so desperately to the thought of being held together. I want to be held, I crave the warmth of being whole, even if it means falling apart all over again. I just want to savor the fleeting, delightful illusion... You cannot break me any further, Sandro. for I am already in pieces. I am Dispersed." "You are not. And even if you were, I have somehow found myself in the ruins of you. Even if you were, you would still find a way to emanate, to be the moon that lights my path, the glow within the darkest chambers of my heart. Unchain the dawn and let me step into your light. Should my yearning be too much for your heart to bear, then let me gather your fragments, not to fix you. (God forbid, as if something as serene as you are could need fixing) But to let them glisten like scattered stardust in my moonless, star-starved sky. Let me wander into your night. Let yourself drift into your light. Let your brilliance break through." -Best believe nothing is the way it looks like.

Kuro: A Land in Eternal Night by MichaelLimjoco

Now back on Wattpad! ---- In a land covered in eternal night, a young girl's light is all that stands between Mankind and the Forces of Darkness. When the Sun Goddess vanished under mysterious circumstances a thousand years ago, she left the land of Kuro blanketed in eternal night. Over time, the people learn to harness what remains of the Goddess: the precious and finite resource known as the Goddess Essence. Kurokyuu Orbs, miracles of modern technology, harvest the Goddess Essence and provide light and power to all. But there is a problem: the Goddess Essence is running out. And it couldn't have come at a worse time. Whispers abound of a growing evil in the North; stories of shadows that can only be harmed by the light of the sun. From out of the darkness rises the City of the Sun. Light Spires shine through all twenty-four hours, providing artificial sunlight for all. Everyone that is, but the residents of the Utter Darkness. In this forsaken place, Mina, a young orphan, is forced to beg and steal on the streets to sustain herself in the hardscrabble way of life. In the darkest corners, Marauders lurk, hunting little girls, searching for the one known only as "The Maiden". When Mina falls captive to a roving band of Marauders, she is faced with a life-altering decision: reveal the secret she has been hiding her entire life or stay silent and risk losing her already meager existence? When people die as a result of her inaction, Mina realizes her secret is no longer hers to keep. A secret that lies in a most unusual ability: The power to manifest sunlight...

Our Goddess Incarnate by KittyHyatt

Hi there, I'm Miza. Just your average 13-year-old girl... except for one small detail. I'm the youngest daughter of the Lestanian Imperial family, and, oh yeah, I've just been named the reincarnation of our matron deity. That's right, I'm a living Goddess. It's been years since anyone's held this title, and trust me, the divine drama that comes with it is more than I ever asked for. Thanks to my new role as Goddess Incarnate, I've been named heir to the throne over my eldest brother. Let's just say he's not thrilled about it. All I wanted was a shot at living a normal life like any other teenager. I was this close to convincing my father. But now, with my destiny looming large, that dream seems to be slipping away. Things are changing fast, and I have no idea what's coming next, but I can feel it-it's going to be huge. Join me on this wild ride as I balance our Great Mother's ancient legacy with my duty to my people and my family. Will I find my way, or will the weight of the crown crush me? Buckle up; this is just the beginning. Book 1 of 4 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Yeah, Well I hate the consequences that pretending that my lover is my younger sister means that people assume she is available and flirt with her all the time. I also am not prepared to deal with the consequences of not being there if you need me." "Jealous Jus is a strange experience," Valon said quietly. "Well none of us have had to deal with the idea of people who don't belong to her coveting her. In our kingdom, you were always present. She wasn't available at any point. This is just part of her being a normal girl." "At no point did we ever discuss her being available," Justin grumbled angrily. "Ok, I don't understand the problem. I am not available. These people are just my peers." "Who don't know to keep their grumbly hands off of you."

The deep by DecayingGodess

A young woman, her past shrouded in shadows, teeters on the brink of oblivion, by her own hand. Captivating but challenging, she draws others in with an irresistible pull. Unafraid to unleash her sharp tongue like a deadly blade or use her claws, honed to perfection. She emanates a chilling aura that could freeze one's very soul, her eyes infused with the cunning of a fox. Though she has many twisted secrets and desires, she can not face them alone, in order to rise from the ashes, she must let go of any inhibitions, give herself completely to the temptations, and accept what fate has bestowed upon her. Especially if fate is wrapped up in such a sinful devastatingly gorgeous package. He is a wealthy surgeon concealing a darkness beneath his unearthly beauty. He exudes both rugged strength and gentle kindness, yet what he hides behind that meticulously constructed mask, is the inner demon, a beast that has an insatiable lust for desire and pleasure, and to claim what he perceives to belong to him. He is a downright psychopath underneath his carefully curated facade of caring protector. His protection is obsessive in its truest form, and he must embrace it no matter the cost. It's as if she had been plucked from the depths of hell to test him, unraveling the intricately woven veil he uses to shield himself. And perhaps he is exactly what she needs to bury her tumultuous past, and step in to her own era of psychotic dark goddess energy, even if only for a fleeting moment. Both carry unsettling truths within them and as they are thrust together in unavoidable proximity amidst spicy themes of seduction, their facades will begin to crumble. The outcome hangs precariously between mutual destruction or obliterating anyone who dares come between their enigmatic bond.

A Raven's Tale by NightElflady

Beneath broken stone and warped metal, a solitary raven panics as it senses imminent danger. It escapes certain death mere seconds before the structure finally crashes to the ground. On soaring above the devastation, the bird spies a wet-eyed woman, and her image is oddly emblazoned on its mind. Pulled inexorably towards the north of the Eastern Kingdoms, the bird's experiences give rise to dreams of the wet-eyed woman, and eventually, memories start to slot into place:- War against the Void Lords. The Dark Portal collapsing. The necessity to shape-shift within the time portal. Consequences. Sarah. Illidan. And a journal with a spell to revert the raven to the man he truly is - Archmage Khadgar. But have Sarah and Illidan found the journal? Making his way to Stormwind, the bird overhears devastating news - he is believed dead, and a state funeral is pending. Despair fills him as his only hope to be whole again is growing ever more distant - the journal has gone undiscovered. Is there a way he can let Sarah and Illidan know he is alive? Or is he doomed to remain a raven for all time? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ All rights for the recognised World of Warcraft NPC's, lore and locations in this story belong to Blizzard.

Why was he forced being forced to babysit because of her actions? It didn't make sense to him. And yet, there he was, watching her pour over ancient tomes and scrolls with an almost manic intensity. It was as if she was crafted from clockwork rather than cookie dough. She was a mortal who dared to meddle with forces beyond her comprehension, and now he was stuck watching over her like some glorified guardian. The thought made his divine blood simmer. However, there was something about her that intrigued him, though he'd never admit it. The way her crystalline eyes scanned each ancient page with such intensity as if trying to unravel the very fabric of existence itself. Perhaps that's what irritated him most - her unwavering dedication reminded him of himself, ages ago, before corruption had stripped away such divine fascinations. The god found himself wondering if her mechanical nature was truly a facade or if there was something more beneath that clockwork exterior. The way she meticulously documented every finding, every revelation, with such precise dedication - it was almost admirable, in an infuriating sort of way. But then again, admiration was a dangerous thing for a deity to feel towards a mortal, especially one who had already proven herself capable of disrupting the natural order. Perhaps... he could disrupt 𝙝𝙚𝙧 natural order. Wasn't deceit what he did best? Let the game begin ☆.' '. ☽¸.☆ ,☆.¸☽ .' '.☆ BEST RANKING: #2 in CookieRunKingdom in THREE days???
