"The Riot of One"

Book I of "Be Wild And Free"

Title: The Riot of One

Main Character:

Iries Celeste Aurellia Solenne or Iries isn't just an artist-she's a force of nature. She lives loudly, even in silence. Her world is a whirlwind of colors, music, and motion, all exploding from her untamed imagination.

Her paintings? They don't just sit still; they roar with color, bold and defiant, turning blank walls into universes no one else could dream of.

Her music? Loud, chaotic, impossible to ignore. It spills into the streets, making even strangers hum along.

Her dance? It's not meant to impress. It's wild, reckless, a language only she understands.

She doesn't want friends, doesn't need an audience-but people can't help but be drawn to her.

Plot: A Celebration of Solitude

She is a party of one.
She fills abandoned places with murals.
She turns ordinary moments into something bigger, brighter.
She dances on rooftops under the moon, wearing gold jewelry that jingles like laughter.

But the world outside doesn't understand people like her.

They tell her to quiet down. But why should she?

They say art should have meaning. But isn't joy enough?

They think she must be lonely. But how can she be, when she has the whole universe inside her?

She paints, sings, creates-not to be seen, not to be heard, but because it is who she is.

The Moment of Change:

One day, her music drifts through an open window.
Her colors spread beyond her attic.
Her joy-so raw, so loud-begins to pull people in.

Not because she wants them to.
Not because she needs them to.
But because art this alive refuses to stay hidden.

People begin painting over the gray parts of their own lives.
They dance.
They sing.
Not with her, but because of her.

She remains a riot of one. But suddenly, the world around her feels a little brighter, a little wilder-like her spirit has leaked into reality itself.
