Elira didn't ask to be the last. She didn't ask to carry the weight of a vanished world on her shoulders. But after the druids were hunted down and forgotten, someone had to stay behind.
The Whisperwood was her home long before it became a myth. She was raised among its trees, taught to listen to the wind, the soil, the things most people stopped hearing long ago. Now, the forest is changing. Growing quiet. Uneasy.
Something is breaking beneath the surface.
With only Thistle a winged companion who's more heart than fury, and Fenrik, a shadow-born panther tied to her by fate, Elira must return to a place she's avoided for years: Ember Hollow. The place where her grandmother made a pact to keep the forest safe a pact that may be unraveling.
The world beyond the trees has forgotten what lives in the dark. But Elira hasn't. And if she doesn't act, everything that still remembers might be lost.
The Forest Remembers is a story about the quiet courage it takes to hold onto what matters, the pain of carrying history alone, and the hope buried in even the darkest roots.

whispers of nature
In the rapidly evolving world of Theralia, where the roar of machines drowns out the rustling of leaves, a young girl named Lira discovers she possesses a rare and ancient gift-the ability to communicate with the natural world. As industrial expansion threatens the mystical balance of enchanted forests, deep oceans, and boundless skies, Lira's quiet village life is upended when she miraculously averts a natural disaster. Her heroism catches the eye of Eldrin, a wise but reclusive mage who unveils the broader crisis facing their world: the very essence of nature is under siege. Guided by Eldrin and accompanied by Corin, an inventive soul whose creations inadvertently harm the earth, Lira embarks on a formidable quest to revive the heart of nature. From the deepest caves haunted by forgotten magic to the sprawling mechanized cities that feast on the earth's resources, the trio confronts corrupted societies and monstrous creatures, all spawned from human neglect and greed. As Lira's journey unfolds, she evolves from a timid village girl into a symbol of hope and a beacon of change. "Whispers of the Wild" is not just a tale of adventure but a stirring manifesto on coexistence and respect. It challenges us to listen more closely to the whispers of the wild and to act before the last leaf falls, before the last wave crashes, and before the last breeze turns to silence. Through Lira's eyes, we are invited to reclaim the lost harmony between humanity and nature, reminding us that in the whispers of the earth lies the secret to our survival.Complete
Petals in the Rain
*Chapter One: The Sound of Empty Rooms* The rain had a rhythm that matched the echo in her chest-quiet, repetitive, and endlessly hollow. Elira sat by the window of her grandmother's wooden house, where the walls creaked like ghosts remembering things she tried so hard to forget. Her breath fogged up the glass as she watched the street below-quiet, gray, and soaked. She didn't mind the rain. It was the one thing that stayed. At twenty-two, Elira had never been kissed. Not truly. Not with the kind of kiss that silences thoughts and stirs old wounds into healing. She had known touches-cold, demanding ones from men who mistook her loneliness for permission. She had known eyes-watching, judging, leaving. But love? Real love? That had been the whisper in fairy tales and the ache between the pages of books she'd hide under her pillow. Her mother had left when she was ten. A note on the fridge, a half-packed suitcase, and a phone number that never answered. Her father drowned his grief in silence and whisky until his liver gave up when she was sixteen. After that, silence wasn't just emotional-it was literal. Elira grew up learning that people left. Always. Her greatest fear wasn't being alone-it was being almost loved. Almost chosen. Almost enough. Then she met him. She closed the book on her lap-*entwined in chaos*. Of course it was. She clung to the idea that love should hurt a little, that maybe if she bled enough, someone would see the red and realize she had a heart worth holding. That night, she wrote in her journal: *"If love exists, let it find me. Even if it breaks me."* And it would. So deeply, so completely, that even time would pause to grieve.Complete
Mercy In The Shadows
In the depths of a forgotten forest, a monster bleeds where no eyes dare to look. Horned, fanged, and cloaked in shadow, he is a whispered curse, a tale mothers tell to frighten their children. But to one hidden maiden, he is something else: a wounded soul who should not be left to suffer alone. He was once a prince, cursed by his own arrogance and forgotten by his people. She is no more than a healer in the shadows, unknown and unseen. But when mercy pulls her into his world and his monstrous claws close around her hand instead of her throat, the question becomes inevitable: Who is truly saving whom-the maiden healing the monster, or the monster teaching the maiden the cost of love? What begins as silence grows into secret exchanges: folded bandages returned neatly, crude markings scratched into stone, words left unspoken but understood. Curiosity becomes longing, and longing becomes danger when hunters draw near, eager to end the creature once and for all. Cover photo is not mine. Copyright 2025.

The Story of Midnight
"Who's out there?" One of the men yelled. Of course only silence met them. I remained quiet and waited for the group to start moving again. "Maybe it was just an animal." Someone whispered. The person, who I assumed was the captain of the small squad, signaled for them to walk again. They clearly showed fear as they kept going; brandishing their weapons to guard themselves with. "Two are holding lanterns. I'll tell you when you're too close to them." I heard my friend whisper in my ear. I followed the men as I picked up another branch and waited for the right time to break it. They continued to walk through the forest, turning their heads in every direction as if an animal might lunge at them and rip their throats out. I guess in a way I was going to do that. "Go back a few feet." My friend whispered. I carefully distanced myself from the group and waited. "Where is she?" I quickly snapped the stick as soon as he finished asking the question. They stopped and two soldiers raised their lanterns to shine its light in the darkness. I quickly hid behind a tree before both of them turned where I was. A low frustrated growl came from one of the men, "The girl's playing with us. She's out here following our every move." How paranoia can cloud the mind. At nine years old, Silver decided to leave her village for the forest. Since then, she's been hunted; everyday is a fight for her life, every breath she takes could be her last, but she's determined to stay alive. Her life isn't the kind anyone would want to live but she's managed to survive this long so, what's a few more years?Complete
The Life The Villainess Left Me
Frida died on the battlefield with no family to mourn her-only a comrade she saved, and a quiet hope that she might see the man she loved but never confessed to. He too had perished in war. A soldier. An orphan. A soul full of quiet regrets. Her only comfort in life? The stories she devoured in secret-especially the ones about loved daughters finally finding a place to belong. But fate had something stranger in store. When she wakes again, it's not her body she returns to-but that of Nej, the veiled, forgotten princess from the last novel she read. Scarred, unloved, and pushed aside-a tragic villainess who had once moved Frida's heart. Now, somehow, Frida is inside her. But it's not just reincarnation. It's inheritance. Nej, it seems, had turned back time-returning to the moment she was scarred by her mother's blade. Too broken to face her past again, she summoned the one soul who had mourned her in silence: Frida. A girl who shared her pain. A girl who also bore a scar from her first battle. A girl who would take her place. Now, with both their memories tangled inside her, Frida-as-Nej carries more than just a royal name. She carries two lifetimes of sorrow, and a vow to break the cycle: She will fulfill Nej's unspoken regrets. She will reclaim her own life. And she will shatter the gilded cage of royalty-sword in hand. Because this time, she's not living for duty or death. She's living for freedom.Complete
