Blood of the River

Deep within the heart of Sarawak, where the rivers run dark and the jungle whispers ancient secrets, a name still lingers in the fearful hush of the locals-Bujang Senang. A legend? A curse? Or the wrath of something beyond human understanding?
Long before the monstrous white-striped crocodile terrorized the waters, there was a man-Simalunggun-a feared and undefeated warrior of the Iban tribe. Whispers of dark power surrounded him, for no blade could pierce his skin, no enemy could best him in battle. But such power comes at a price. Bound by a sacred rule, he was forbidden to set foot in the river... a rule he would soon break, sealing his tragic fate.
As generations passed, the river became his domain, his name spoken only in cautionary tales. But when modern greed and arrogance challenge the balance of nature, the river's protector may rise once more-this time, not as a man, but as the relentless spirit of vengeance.
Some legends fade. Some never die. And some... are merely waiting.

When gods walk the earth, even shadows must remember their names. A small village stands at the edge of ruin, its people caught between mortal fear and divine silence. From the old tales, eight Orisha rise again - guardians bound by fate, drawn by the cry of the desperate. But as the veil between worlds trembles, something older stirs in the deep: the Ajogun whisper, and in the dark between creation and decay, an ancient nameless power begins to wake. In a world where myths still bleed into reality, balance itself may not be salvation - only the calm before another storm.

In a world where light trembles beneath the weight of darkness... The stars have begun to fade. The balance between dreams and nightmares teeters on the edge of collapse. And in the midst of that dying light, a young hero rises. His name is Star Cross the Guard of Light, heir to a legacy forged in courage and sacrifice. When his beloved brother is captured by the ruthless and fearsome entity known only as Nightmare, Star Cross's world shatters. But his heart does not falter. For within him burns the same radiance that once illuminated the multiverse the unyielding will of Dream himself. Guided by that light, Star Cross embarks on a perilous quest across broken AUs and forgotten realms. His mission: to rescue his brother... and to recover the Last Golden Apple, an ancient relic said to hold the power to restore balance between hope and despair. But as he journeys deeper into the shadow's domain, Star Cross begins to realize this is no ordinary rescue. This is destiny itself calling him forward. The fate of every dreamer, every flicker of hope, rests upon his shoulders. With his sword blazing like a star and courage pulsing through his veins, Star Cross steps into the unknown where nightmares whisper, legends awaken, and a single spark of light dares to defy the darkness. Because in the end... Even when the stars fall, one light will always rise.

A past that should have been long dead resurfaces- and it changes things. The sun and the moon shine brightly- but what about the beauty of the stars? Or; Nightmare and Dream are at war, and their friends have to deal with it. A part of the past the twins- especially Nightmare- have thrown away comes back. Things change; but is it for the better?
