This isn't a spooky story.
Despite the title, A Ghost Story isn't about haunted houses or things that go bump in the night - it's about the origin of one of my central characters from the main storyline, The Ghost.
Think of this more as a peek behind the curtain - a character's backstory, told in full. It's not quite a prologue, and it's not required to follow the main plot, but it gives you a deeper look into why one of my most important characters became who he is.
Hope you enjoy the story
Von Laront was just a kid trying to help his brother. Trying to keep his mother breathing. Trying to hold on to what little good was left in their broken, magic-torn kingdom.
But one night... one choice... was all it took to shatter everything.

JOURNEY TO LIFE | ✔️
You've heard stories of the mafia world but non like this one. The kins of a notorious mafia queen go on the run when their estranged grandfather returns, hell-bent on avenging his son's death. [][][][][] "You're going to jump." I look down. We're about five stories up. Impossible far from the ground. My stomack flips and I stumble back. "Are you out of you fucking mind? You might as well open the door and let them kill us." I could hear the distant wailing of sirens and the bookshelf crashing down with a loud thud. I stood there. Caught between two impossible choices- escaping and leaving behind the man that had protected me thus far or staying behind and fighting beside him. My brain is telling me I've only known this guy less than a month, but my body- my body betrays me with every ache for his touch, screaming that we really like this guy. - I also really love being alive!Complete

"Nessuno oserà toccarti di nuovo senza perdere le mani, amore," they whispered. (No one will dare touch you again without losing their hands, love.) I felt two hands hold my face with a soft kiss on my forehead. Their rough and large hands a contrast to their gentleness. The comforter over me shuffled as the familiar person brought them up to my chin and tucked me in. "Riposati ora sei al sicuro, bambina," they murmured, stroking my hair. Before I knew it, simply the presence of them reassured me as I felt myself drift off again into a deep sleep. (Rest now, you're safe, baby). ☆ ☆ ☆ 𝐑𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐄 (noun): a state of being pleasantly lost in one's thoughts; a daydream.
