(See Chapter 1 for Audiobook Version). When a beloved elder passes away, her quiet cottage becomes the centre of an inheritance dispute - and a battleground between entitlement and truth. As the family circles like vultures, convinced of their right to claim what was never really theirs, a gentler story begins to unfold behind the scenes.
This is a story of quiet resilience, of care given without expectation, and of the quiet strength it takes to hold on when louder voices try to take over. A tale of warmth, loyalty, and the quiet power of those who refuse to be crushed.
Neko (noun)
/ˈnɛkəʊ/
A human with additional feline features-soft ears, a quiet tail, and heightened balance and hearing.
Typically smaller and physically weaker than the average human. Moves gently through the world, more prey than predator. Agile when needed, quick to flee, not built to fight.
Usually introverted. Very trusting. Kind. Nervous by nature, with instincts tuned toward survival. Prone to anxiety and easily overwhelmed by chaos or hostility.
Most commonly found working in cities-quiet cafés, back rooms of shops, restaurants-places where they can contribute without drawing attention. Rare to find them outside urban areas.
Most at ease in calm surroundings, far from threat or noise.
Prone to being mistreated by humans who see only difference. Often exploited in society due to their inability to question authority or fight back.
Origins unclear.

ZEN - Part Two [COMPLETED] [#WATTYS2017]
THIS IS PART TWO OF TWO. If you've yet to read through Act One, I suggest you do that first. Most days, you can find Mizuki Nekoyama in Hell, creeping through pitch-black passages, disabling deadly traps, and avoiding even-deadlier monsters. But that's the job of a Scout; highly-trained and extremely-capable individuals willing to brave the Depths in exchange for money, power and prestige. Most often, however, their careers are cut short between heartbeats if they let their guard down for just a single second. For the past five years, Mizuki, or 'Zen', has lived with the guilt that comes with losing her friends and lover inside one of the nation's Dungeons, and has searched far and wide for the person she believes is responsible for their tragic demise. She might be obsessive, compulsive, brutal, and slightly crazed, yet its exactly those traits which will allow her to progress in her mission; track down her quarry; and along the way found an organization capable of bringing entire nations to their knees. (Note: Cover Art ripped from a Google search. Whomever the creator is has an amazing talent, and I hope they go on to do Many Great Things.) DISCLAIMER, in BIG, BOLD LETTERS: This fictional tale deals with topics including, but not limited to: Slavery, Brutal uses of Swords and Magic, Murder, Racism, Sex, LGBT-Q, Political Intrigue, Rape, Torture, Bloody Slaughter, and much, much more.

Dawn and Fireflies
„Seriously? You want me to explain why you should read this crap? Fine, listen up, 'cause I'm only saying this once: If you're into emotional whiplash and cheesy feelings while the world's still blowing up around you, then congrats - this is your thing. It's about Emiko - yeah, that one with the healing quirk and that Zen monk vibe that seriously gets on your nerves when you're like me and constantly one second from exploding. I yell at her, and she doesn't even blink. Not even a raised heartbeat. Add some bone-crushing training, annoying classmates who ask way too many questions, and a character development I definitely didn't sign up for. All thanks to Aizawa thinking this is somehow 'educational.' Much appreciated." - Bakugo Katsuki TRIGGER WARNING: This story contains violence, death, kidnapping, torture, trauma, blood/injuries, societal collapse and explicitly intimate scenes. Please be careful when reading if these themes might be distressing to you.
