North of Nowhere
A compass without directions. A legacy without answers. A silence that hides more than secrets. When a long-buried heirloom pulls its bearer into the wilderness, the path becomes anything but straightforward. Forests fold in on themselves, memories blur with myth, and the past returns in fragments: sometimes as whispers, sometimes as faces. What begins as a journey north becomes a labyrinth of grief, inheritance, and the haunting truths families leave unspoken. Each step forward draws her deeper into landscapes that shift like mirrors: a house that remembers, doors that demand choices, voices that tempt with endings disguised as mercy. What waits beyond is not simply survival, but a confrontation with the weight of love, silence, and the lure of surrender. Dark, unsettling, and threaded with mystery this is a story of what we inherit, what we carry, and what waits when we dare to follow a path that should never be walked.

An ancient artifact that unlocks a hidden ability comes into his possession and will stay with him throughout his infinite life. Excerpts: Hearing that title broke him from his mental preoccupation. _Oh, no. Not her. Not with these people._ Glancing around the table, he saw that everyone was looking at him, overtly and covertly, watching and waiting for his reaction. ... The young god stood up in excitement. _It just talked to me! I'm talking to it! This is so weird. What else can I ask it?_ ... _What should I say? I should say something, right?_ "Umm... Hi!" he managed to say. He stopped himself from wincing at his awkward greeting as he felt every eye in the room on him and maintained a casual and relaxed facade. _'Hi'? Really? After not seeing her for so long, all you can say is 'Hi!'? Say something else._ "I came here to see you." _No, idiot. Say something less obvious._ "And, uhh, talk to you." _What's wrong with you, self?_ ... "I don't know. I don't really know what to do anymore. I've done terrible things to him but I don't know anymore if I did the right thing."Complete
