Before creation, there was the fracture. Before humanity, there was the Bloom.
In a world teetering on the edge of extinction, human evolution didn't just accelerate-it broke. Embedded deep within human DNA are the raw, volatile remnants of an ancient cosmic entity known as the Aethelgard Bloom. Those who inherit its fractured essence are marked as Anomalies: living catalysts of impossible power.
At the epicenter of this conflict stand two forces bound by destiny:
Dean-the Chaos Twin. Driven by cold calculation and armed with devastating, dark-matter kinetic manipulation, he tears through immovable barriers. But every time his power spikes, his mind drifts closer to an icy, detached void that threatens to consume him completely. Amanda-the Growth Twin. Grounded in profound empathy and wielding accelerated biological restoration, she represents raw, living creation. Her presence is the only anchor keeping Dean from freezing from the inside out.
Together, they form a delicate circuit-destruction and creation locked in fragile equilibrium.
Yet their greatest threat does not lie in their own volatility. Emerging from the shadows is The Axiom, a merciless force led by General Ragnar Gregor. Obsessed with lifeless, geometric stasis, The Axiom views humanity's chaotic evolution as corrupted code meant to be purged and rewritten into absolute order.
To save humanity from being permanently erased into cold mathematics, Dean and Amanda must master the cosmic tension between their powers. If their bond shatters, the world will freeze forever.

Maroli Tango
Nobody expects the Sasquatch Intervention! A Vedic text tells of ancient gods who cast a shadow upon the Earth, shielding humanity from an angry sun. Or, as history books will soon report: when Sol last went micro-nova, Mercury, Venus, and the Anye migration fleet were positioned in eclipse, the latter on purpose. Earth was scorched - but not destroyed. The event is cyclical, coming around again, and fortunately, Vidura's furry pilgrims are still living in the neighborhood. Unfortunately, the fleet is in mothballs. The planets will not be lining up to help. Two million light years away on the planet of the Unseen, a potentially hostile race of bird-folk have demonstrated the ability to get here from there. The natives will have to dig in, hands on Anye technology, with President of the United States Carmen Benequista leading Earth's ruling elite into an age of service to humanity. It's a dicey proposition, at best. Meanwhile, Carmen - sixty, widowed - is in late-life crisis. She has a suitor; human, Filipino/American, 15 years younger, recently associated with the Anye Space Mafia. Good for her, maybe. Entering stage left, the elevated maroli. Labor appliances of the nightmare variety. Egg-shaped grav-lift chassis. Bio-engineered tentacles strong enough to pull your arms off. Self-aware not by design - possessed perhaps by spirits of the dead. And who knows what the maroli are up to? Something wholesome, we hope. Will Earth be saved, only to perish in a war between cosmic rivals? Has the President found true love? Is it rude to attend a party with fighting drones in tow? Action, intrigue, space soap opera - A genre-bending tale of life, love, and uncertain outcomes. ᶲᶲᶲᶲᶲᶲᶲᶲ Click on my website URL, listed on the Wattpad author's profile, for more information.
