In a land long scarred by war, a chance encounter between a young knightess and a village boy forges a bond that will quietly shape their fates. Years later, the boy becomes a smith of quiet renown, his hands crafting not just weapons, but tokens of loyalty, hope, and an affection he never found the courage to speak.
At the center of his life's work lies a single creation, a blade forged from a fallen star, said to carry the memory of light, love, and longing.
To this day, travelers whisper that deep within the firefly forests of Starglade, that very sword still rests, glowing softly in the dark, waiting for the one it was made for.

Echoes Of The Bell
In a world of late-night texts and forgotten homework, there are some stories that aren't written in a book. They're drawn in the margins of a notebook and whispered across a classroom. This is one of them. It began with a glance that felt like a secret-a tiny, perfect moment that turned the ordinary halls of high school into an adventure. It's the story of shared headphones and hand-holding under a starlit sky, of a romance so pure and hopeful it felt like a dream you never wanted to wake from. This is a journey through first loves and first goodbyes. It's a story about finding the courage to fall, even when you know there's a chance you might get hurt. The bell has rung. The story begins now.
Mistook you for more.
Mistook You for More. Some stories begin with heroes. This one begins with survivors. Yuna Wren never meant to care for the enemy. Kael Reven wasn't supposed to have a heart. And neither of them planned on keeping a quiet, wounded girl who feared the world as much as it feared her. In a land crumbling under shadows, three broken souls build something fragile in the dark, not quite family, not quite fate, but something worth losing for. As war looms and trust fractures, Yuna must decide what she's willing to sacrifice for love... and what remains when the world no longer forgives. A slow-burn tragedy about unexpected bonds, bittersweet choices, and the cost of seeing someone clearly, too late.Complete
