An Atmospheric Dark Fantasy of Language, Memory, and Becoming
In a fortress carved from ancient bone and built to contain the un-containable, a boy named Thom is marked by the curse feared above all others: the Mouth.
He arrives at the Bastion-a place where wolf-blooded are broken, remade, or buried-expecting training, exile, maybe death. But what he finds is worse. The Bastion doesn't just hold danger. It repeats it. The same names. The same rites. The same patterns. And somewhere beneath the stone and marrow lies a voice older than god or monster: unfinished, recursive, hungry.
As the bones beneath the fortress begin to stir, and the glyphs start rewriting themselves, Thom must decide whether he will become the vessel the Bastion demands... or the sentence that ends it.
A lyrical and slow-burning dark fantasy told in breath and fracture, Wolfsbane in Winter explores language as prison, ritual as recursion, and silence as liberation.
Some stories are not told.
They are remembered.
And some should never be spoken twice.

Dark mind
It was like we were playing a sick game of chess, trying to guess each others movement's and at the same time, worrying about our own. I didn't have a choice and was forced to say "Game on bitch." -------------------------------- Life for Juniper was never easy, even as a child. Her family was complicated, and she herself has always suffered from mental illneses that made her days hard enough as it was, not just for her but for her drug addict skitzophrenic father and bipolar alcoholic mother. As she kept growing up, the world around her became darker and darker until, at the age of sixteen, a man with a dark shadow and distorted, spine chilling voice infiltrated her nightmares, with the promise to bring her agony and pain if she did not do as he said. Now, Juniper is forced to act fast, for her life hangs by a thread. She must uncover the truth of her past, look past the lies of her parents and her own childhood, and fill in the blanks whilst dealing with loud voices in her head, shadows that follow her every move, and a man who she must obey in order to save her sanity, her life and herself. The question still remains, who is this strange man who threatens her very existence? Will she be able to stop him before he kills her, before he traps her in the darkness forever? Will she whistand the torture, will she handle it all? Or will she snap, will she bend and break like her father did, and his father before him? Because, after all, we are all fragile humans, there is only so much we can take. -------------------------------- * Contains swearing, may be triggering and is undergoing mayor editing . * Best Ranking: #1- Skitsofrenia #2- AlluringLengkap

Bless Me, Father
She moaned low and breathy, like something just beneath a prayer. The sound didn't seem coy. It felt possessed. Jacob stumbled back behind a tree, his pulse hammering in his throat. His lips ajar. He didn't even remember breathing. The crucifix beneath his shirt felt like ice against his chest. He gripped it anyway. The metal biting into his palm. He told himself he hadn't seen what he saw. ************* In Little Harmonie, purity is worshiped, sin is hunted, and witches burn. Father Jacob should condemn Delilah. Instead, he craves her. Her beauty tempts him, her power unsettles him, and her darkness feels too much like his own. But the deeper he falls, the uglier the truth bleeds out: the town is rotten, the sermons are lies, and the real monsters don't just lurk in the woods... they wear holy robes. In a place that calls itself pure, obsession is holy, and love is the most dangerous curse of all.

In the Moonlight
A girl in a white veil, the forest calls her to itself. She will be lost in it forever. A quiet voice, a whisper leads his bride far away. Somewhere there stands an old castle, a cursed prince dwells within its walls. When the full moon rises in the night sky, the monster awakens. The white veil of the bride turns crimson. A story as old as time. Nereyeny ran towards the forest as if her life was at stake. She hesitated for a moment before crossing the line of no return. She looked back at the place where she had grown up, lived, and was supposed to die and lie in the ground there forever. All her life layed there, everything except the one thing she longed for the most. Freedom. "Nereyeny!" They were already looking for her. She couldn't afford to hesitate any longer. She turned on her heel and stepped into the darkness. She knew that no one would dare to chase her there. Only a fool. People were afraid of the cursed forest. Eyes watching your every step. Whispers leading you into the void. Creatures from the depths of hell itself. They say dark forces dwell there, no one who goes in will ever come out. And Nereyeny was proof that it was all a lie, spending almost every day there, running under the treetops like a wild wolf. She didn't believe those tales. About the full moon. About the proud prince. About the curse. Until she too became one of those lost in its bowels. Trapped in the same trap as Prince Astreus, son of the Sun and the Moon. A proud prince, real, made of flesh and blood, who is not at all like she has heard of him. At least the fairy tales are wrong about one thing. And maybe they are wrong about everything. Secrets, pride, the whims of the gods, and maybe even fate itself. A burnt-out faith in breaking the curse. Nereyeny must now find a way out before the next full moon comes and the monster finds her.Lengkap
Hidden Mate
"Sire? Sire?" A voice rang in the hallway heading towards the prince's chamber "What is it?" The prince asked in a calm voice "We've found her, sire-" the man said gasping from the mild run to get to his sire's chambers "-where?" The prince interrupted "In California" the man answered, not at all offended by the interruption "Tom?" The prince called, after a minute of silence "Yes, sire?" Tom responded "Do you think she's doing it purposely? Hiding from me?" The prince asked Tom merely looked at his prince, the man whom he's watched from when he was merely a babe, with pity "We really cannot judge, sire, that is all the more the reason we should find her sire" Tom said instead, effectively avoiding the question "Get the carriages ready, I will speak to father at once" The prince said, taking solace in the words of Tom <3 Best ranking #1 faery - 20|02|2025 #1 lost memories - 15|02|2025 #6 kingsandqueens - 16|03|2024Lengkap
