Anorakii. They are not just a tribe; they are the only life Giiunayi has ever known. As the winter solstice approaches, he anticipates the sacred rite of passage that will mark himself into the heart of the Anorakii, bringing a close to his restless belonging. But as the ancient rituals unfold, they awaken a wrathful force, unearthing dark secrets long buried beneath their warrior ethos.
In Knowing, There Is A Sun is a novella of a blessing and a curse, of the struggle against unleashed fury as the shadows of the past close upon not only the fate of the Anorakii but also upon the essence of who Guiinayi is.

The devil's mission
#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.Abgeschlossene Geschichte

Shadowlight Vol.1: The Realisation
Azeki was once a living mortal who ascended to Anji status and is no longer associated with her Dookian past life. However, supernatural forces have infiltrated the Anji realms, manufactured from the process of Azeki's rise to the ethereal dimension. Azeki's daughter, Zakela, was born a Dookian but never ascended to Anji status. Azeki, on the other hand, since belonging to the Anji settlement of Sakooisi, created a partial Anji clone of her biological daughter, who, in the beginning, seems like any child -- clumsy, childlike, but loving and adorable. However, as Azeki seeks answers regarding a creature known as Shadowlight, Zakela takes a turn for the worst. After restoring her lost memories since ascension, Azeki learns that Shadowlight is a part of a paradox, and Zakela is one of the forms the creature takes. Determined to put things right, Azeki journeys the world to uncover the "soul fragments" of the creature within this massive paradox. However, one day, she doesn't just lose the memories of her past life from ascension but loses all memory associated with all timelines she once lived. Now, awoken again, Azeki frantically tries to work out what has happened, with an obsession over valuables she once possessed. With the paradox relentlessly repeating itself, does Azeki have what it takes to defend the universe from Shadowlight's brutal assaults, or will she falter at the hands of the daughter she loves the most in the whole world? Will her own emotions be the end of her life, or will she succeed past even her expectations? Cover Art by Ivan Zanchetta & BookCoversArt.comAbgeschlossene Geschichte
