A lone girl stands in a barren, windswept landscape, hunched and lifeless like a doll. Layered hair with bangs covers her face. Dark, flowing tattered clothes, faint ember glowing at her chest. Ashes and ghostly memories drift in the wind around her. Cold, muted palette: greys, blues, blacks. Soft, diffuse lighting, surreal, haunting, poetic, slightly abstract.

The boy that became the end
He was bound by prophecy. Raised in shadow. Forged in loss. The prince was never meant to survive. He was meant to become. In a kingdom ruled by silence and fear, thirteen towers rise like judgment from the earth-watching, waiting. Within their shadow, a boy grows into legend. Haunted by grief, hunted by fate, he walks a path carved in blood and memory. Every step is a reckoning. Every breath, a defiance. This is the story of a child who was told he was nothing-who faced betrayal, exile, and the death of all he loved. And yet, he rose. Not as a hero. Not as a king. But as something deeper. Something sacred. A vessel of truth. A flame that would not die. Watch as the young prince overcomes hatred, loss, and the weight of legacy to become what his people never dared hope for. Witness the cost of transformation. The beauty of resilience. And the moment when death itself bows to purpose. He was the end of what was. And the beginning of what must be.Complete
Tales from Elbia; Darkness arrises

Kidnapped
The street lamps threw odd looking shadows across closed storefronts and sidewalks, and the night was eerily silent. No cars passed by, no people were out; it seemed like something out of a cheesy horror film. Now’s the part where the girl gets dragged away and killed, Mar thought. Just then someone tapped her shoulder.Complete
Battle Of The Grim
Once, magic flowed like rivers nurtured by the Grim guardians of life and death. They were neither gods nor demons but keepers of balance, ensuring souls passed peacefully into the beyond. Among them was a young Grim, a boy with a gentle heart, who walked the earth unseen to replenish its fading magic. But the greed of powerful mages shattered this harmony. They sought immortality, power beyond mortal limits. In the dead of night, they ambushed the Grim, stole his Grimoire of Eternal Passage, and left him for dead. Yet, they could not read its secrets. Before vanishing, the Grim left behind an Artifact of Severance a cursed relic that began draining the world's magic. As the years passed, those with weak abilities withered, while the strong ruled with an iron fist. Monsters emerged from the hadows, terrorizing the land, and the ten kingdoms struggled to survive under relentless attacks. And so, the slow death of the world began.
To love her.. is to be cursed .
He saw her only once-across the ruins, cloaked in twilight, barefoot in a field of grave lilies. She didn't look back. She never did. But he dreamed of her every night after. And when the dreams turned into visions... and the visions into whispers... He knew: He was doomed the moment he saw her.Complete

Veil of the Fallen
The quest is over. The sword is dulled, the shield broken, and the prophecy left in ruin. The hero has failed, in both battle and purpose. There was no great victory, no triumphant return. Only blood in the snow, betrayal in his chest, and the cruel laughter of the god who sent him. But the hero didn't die. He must return home. (This isn't proof read, just an idea I'm messing with while I have downtime at work)
Cold Touch
Rooms filled with silence, cold air filling one. The slight noise of a snore echoes through the halls. On a bed with plushies and flowers lies a girl, another stands beside. Though her face convey the sorrow from the past. __ This book was a school project also my first book, which I am publishing.

A Mouthful of Stars
Ophelia Bain hasn't spoken in years. When she was twelve, her mother's voice vanished with the echo of a gunshot, and her father's anger became the only sound left in their Pennsylvania home. Silence grew inside her like a second heartbeat - until it became her only language. At nineteen, she runs. Across miles, across grief, across everything that once hurt her. She ends up in a washed-gray coastal town in Washington, where the rain hums softly against windows and the sea never sleeps. There, she finds work in an old bookstore filled with dust and poetry - a place where silence feels almost holy. By day, Ophelia shelves books and memorizes the way light lands on old pages. By night, she writes small letters - fragments of her thoughts - and slips them between the spines for strangers to find. "Do you ever feel like you're made of broken constellations?" one note asks. And to her surprise, someone writes back. Through the language of ink and gesture, through a deaf artist who paints the quiet the way she feels it, Ophelia begins to rediscover what it means to exist - not loudly, but beautifully. Yet the past still lingers like smoke. And as the ghosts of home begin to stir, she must decide whether the fragile light she's found is enough to keep her alive. Because sometimes, even the quietest souls hold a mouthful of stars - and sometimes, it's enough to make the darkness listen.Complete
Cerulean Gaze
"An otherworldly being-a fallen demi-god stripped of his divine powers-crash-lands into the realm of mortals. Desperate and burning with vengeance, he scours the world in search of the one mortal soul destined to break the seal that binds him, the only key to unleashing his true power and exacting retribution on those who betrayed him."Complete
