Heya my story i wrote for fun heres the first part I sway gently on the swing hanging from the sturdy branch of an old tree near the manor, I tend to find solace in the mesmerizing chaos of the thunderstorm. The air is thick with the scent of damp earth, and each gust of wind pushes me slightly higher, filling me with a thrilling mix of exhilaration and tranquility. Raindrops patter rhythmically against the leaves above, creating a soothing melody that drowns out my worries. Dark clouds swirl ominously overhead, their flashes of lightning illuminating the landscape in brief bursts of brilliance. The cool breeze brushes against my skin, and for a moment, I feel as though I am one with the storm, embraced by nature's untamed beauty. Until the rain is falling upward, the sky is cracked open like glass, beautiful and crystallized bleeding lightning, and somewhere in the storm, a voice is calling my name. "Vuk~" Not shouting. Whispering. Familiar. Ugh, this dream again I was standing in the ruins of the estate of the Tempestrix family. The walls are crumbling, vines of black clouds twisting through the broken windows. Thunder rumbles in a circle around me, but the sky above is frozen still. There's a mirror standing in the middle of the hall. It shouldn't be there. I walk toward it, drawn by something deeper than curiosity. My reflection doesn't match. It's older. Weathered. Eyes glowing faint blue. The reflection moves before I do, reaching out to the glass and pressing his hand against it. Then the reflection speaks without sound. Just one word: "Return." But before I can answer, the alarm rings out loudly, its piercing tones slicing through the morning hush like a siren, yanking me awake and breaking the peace of the room.

"What of this thief I hear that has hidden themselves in The Lands of Luxury?" I say. Rail lowered his emerald eyes towards the horizon. "Have you thought of my proposal?" Rail asks, avoiding my question. He had asked me many times to become his protector and leave the True One. Of course, I always say no. It pained me to see the hurt in his once peaceful eyes. "You know my answer." I whisper. I lay my hand on top of his. There was always a spark that clouded my mind when I touched Rail. I pull away, dropping my eyes. "This was a wonderful gathering, Rail. Thank you, but I must return to the True One." I begin to light the room with my silverlight overpowering Rail's golden blaze, getting ready to flash. "Wait! Stay to find the thief. Please, Aderes." I'm hovering over the floor. Rail grabs my hand, and the shock brings me back to him. I lower myself and let go of him. "I will stay until the thief is found. Then I must return to the True One's heaven." I try to smile at Rail to calm him. It works. His green eyes linger on me as I walk away from the balcony and return to the gathering. *** After meeting Jay, Sarah's father is killed, which causes her to accidentally tap into unknown powers. Sarah begins to learn the truth about who Aderes is and how Sarah herself is connected to her. But most importantly, she learns who's been lying to her since the beginning.
