CANOPY
A ship with no return. A forest that remembers.
They call it The MV Amaravati.
It arrives without warning. It takes passengers without question. And most who board are never seen again.
In 1942, with nothing left tying her to her city, Lyna steps onto the ship alone ,no family, no future, no reason to stay. Among the passengers is Koi, a timid girl clutching a small wooden box that has never opened in generations.
But the Amaravati does not sail toward the horizon.
but through time.
14th-century realm ; a hidden jungle civilization where spirits whisper through bamboo groves and something ancient waits...
There they meet Astrid, a witch who has waited centuries for this moment, and Sergei, her immortal guardian
a man trapped between worlds, unable to solve the mystery that binds them all.
"You were never meant to escape your life. You were meant to return the heart."
As the forest begins to stir and the sealed wooden box responds to her touch, Lyna must decide whether she is merely a girl running from her past or the key to saving a civilization buried beneath the canopy.

The 29th Girl [COMPLETE]
'The world forgot her day, just like they forgot her.' Born on February 29th, Elara officially "exists" only once every four years. Every time the date passes, the world seems to forget her. Her name vanishes from records, her face fades from memories and her very presence begins to blur. On the fifth leap year since losing her parents, Elara boards a cruise which is the last place she was seen in a faded old photo with her parents. There, she plans to end her life, certain that no one would notice she's gone. But, just before she jumps into the sea, a mysterious message flashes on her phone. Short, but striking; "If you jump, the world will never know what it lost." That message not only saves her, but draws her into a greater mystery; about who she really is, why the world forgets her and who the "unknown" is... someone who knows far too much about her. ------- ‼️This is a short story, every part is short.

We Who Lie
He was the bastard prince no one wanted. She was the bard girl who gave him her heart. Now he's king- and the first thing he did was outlaw stories. Lyra Lightfoot once believed in fairy tales. She believed in love, in music, in Cyril Abecassis- the second-born prince with ink-stained fingers and a wounded heart. But power changes people, and Cyril didn't just take the throne of Xena; he's begun to destroy everything they once held dear. Authors are vanishing. Magic is hunted. A boy is burned for reading a book. And Lyra? She's running for her life with Arthur, a battle-scarred magician whose heart bleeds ink and fire. But Cyril is not done with her-not by a long shot. Because beneath his cruelty is a secret only she knows, a monstrous truth wrapped in soft promises and broken wrists. To save the kingdom, Lyra must dig through the ruins of the boy she loved and decide whether he can still be saved-or if she must become the villain in their story. A haunting tale of forbidden magic, fractured love, and the cost of telling the truth shows humanity at its lowest point- and how far one could go for a lost soul.

Enchantment of the Bow
Lyra knew that one day she would be set into an arranged marriage like a chess piece. She had been preparing for it her whole life, and she was almost alright with her fate. But she never thought that her father would choose the man that he did. That decision changed everything. The King of Whales is ruthless, more than twice her age and surrounded by tainted gold and loads of unsavory rumors. There have been many wives of his before Lyra, with no explanations to the untimely deaths of the previous five. With each dead Queen came more money from their kingdoms, straight into the King's portly lap. Disguised as a young man, Lyra runs from her duty as the only Princess of Nordic. She cuts her hair, takes her steed and disappears into the night with her father's men hot on her heels. Enter Kaladin's team. Occupation: Mercenaries. Lyra uses skills taught to her by a close, childhood friend and plays herself into the trust of the dangerous strangers until they accept her, or rather, "Navani", into their group. What will happen to her once they see through her web of lies and tricks? Will Lyra give herself up as Princess when she is reunited with her long-lost friend, or will she carry on as a boy with the mercenaries? Follow Lyra to see what she will do when she comes to realize that things have gotten far too big for her to handle on her own. There are assassin's out for her head, king's thirsting for her blood, and an underground network of people who live for her ruin. But there is also an unlikely Prince to defend her, who has some tricks of his own to rely on. The Princess soon sees that she is not nearly as alone as she may have once thought. What will Lyra do when she comes to terms with her destiny? Will she face it this time with her new friends, or will she chose to run away again? Cover made by @-rebellixus-Complete
The Fractured City
The city never sleeps. Its veins are steel, its breath recycled, its heartbeat a hum beneath the polished floors. Every corridor, every vent, every flickering screen is watched. Every citizen is measured. Every choice recorded. Lyra Vale knows this. She has always known. And yet, nothing prepared her for the day the city shifted beneath her feet. The day the Test began. The day she learned that her life-and the life of everyone she loves-was not hers to hold, but theirs to calculate. She wakes before the chime, before the turbines thrumming through the sectors. Her sleep is fractured, haunted by light and sound, by voices she shouldn't hear and images she shouldn't see. But even in her dreams, she knows the truth: in this city, potential defines worth, and defiance defines death. Outside, the city hums. Surveillance drones drift silently, lights glinting on steel surfaces. Screens flicker with promises, threats, propaganda: Obedience ensures safety. Defiance ensures extinction. Lyra's heart beats faster. She knows the system, its calculations, its rules-and she knows its one flaw: humans. Humans do not always follow patterns. Humans do not always obey. She does not yet know that she is about to become the anomaly the city cannot process, the variable the Architect cannot contain. That the Test is only the beginning. That the system is watching, and it has begun to speak. And when it does, Lyra will learn that survival is more than following rules-it is learning to fight a machine designed to predict every thought, every fear, every heartbeat. Because in Sector Nine, everything is measured. Except the human heart.

Months later, when Lucian finally tracks Lyra down, he's shocked to find that the damsel he once knew is no longer in distress. Lyra has changed. Hardened. She has found a new strength and independence in the face of hardship, and she no longer needs saving.

And when he discovers the true reason she fled, Lucian is forced to confront his deepest fear. What does a knight do when the damsel he's sworn to protect is ready to fight her own battles? And more importantly, what happens when that damsel is the woman he's been in love with all along?
