Kitchen maid Rima wakes up chained in a cave as a sacrifice to the Dread Dragon Cyclone, along with two goats and gold and gems as tribute. If she escapes, the Guardian of Beltonia will pay a grand reward for her return, dead or alive.
Cyclone arrives late and wants more than making her a meal. They flee, but Sir Roger Tallego, the knight stuck with the fatal quest to destroy the dragon, and his squires are after them. They must quest until Sir Roger succeeds or dies honorably, true to his chivalric code.
Sir Roger drinks too much since the death of his wife. His squires, Beau and Franz, and his page, Pen, keep perilous secrets. But Roger honors the quest.
Prompt 4: You discover that the dragon everyone fears is in danger, and you are the only one who can save it from the knight sworn to save it.

Between Shadow and Bloom (versification 2026)
In Between Shadow and Bloom, I'm tracing the quiet spaces where becoming begins, those fragile moments suspended between who we were and who we might dare to be. Through a series of intimate, unguarded poems, this collection lingers in the soft tension between light and darkness: grief that softens into growth, longing that learns to breathe, and beauty that reveals itself in the most fleeting encounters. Butterflies drift through these pages not as symbols of escape, but of transformation earned slowly, painfully, and with grace. There is a stillness here, the black cat watching at the edge of the unknown, a bloom unfolding under a patient moon, reminding us that change does not arrive loudly. It gathers in silence. It waits. It listens. Tender and haunting, Between Shadow and Bloom is an invitation to sit with the in-between, and to discover that even in shadow, something within us is always reaching toward the light..

FRAGMENT [BL]
"Home alone... but never truly alone." Alex thought the past was gone, but the house remembers. Every laugh, every argument, every stolen moment of joy-it's all trapped in the walls. And so is he. A flickering figure. A fragment of someone he once loved. Someone he thought was lost forever. As memories bleed into reality, Alex must navigate a house that lives, breathes, and twists with every heartbeat. Every step closer to him risks losing him... and himself. In a world where time bends, shadows speak, and love defies reason, can two hearts survive when reality fractures and the one you hold may not be the one you knew? 💔 Psychological BL | Horror Romance | Memory vs Reality | #BL #Romance #Psychological #Horror #Memory #LoveAgainstAll #WattpadOriginal Fiction

White Crystal Butterflies | Wattys 2021 Shortlist | ✔
❖ Interstellar pilot and ex-adventurer Alex Gallegos must keep their team safe on an icy moon as sentient storms threaten to repeat the tragedy that ended their last career. ❖ Everyone in the United Inhabited Solar Systems (for some reason, UIS for short) knows to stay away from Mahaha. The icy moon is notorious for failed probe landings and research missions that end in tragedy: the only people to ever venture to its surface needed rescuing after just two weeks. When a prestigious research group decides they want a turn, they ask Alex Gallegos to lead the team. Perfectly qualified and haunted by their past, Alex accepts, hoping to make up for old mistakes and get just a little further from the earth they've left behind. Two months into the seven-month mission, the team is struggling with discontent, damaged equipment, and blizzards acting less and less like normal weather. As Mahaha moves out of range of help and the storms take on a more malicious character, Alex must face the one foe they could never have prepared for. Mahaha may or may not be alive. ❖❖❖ Complete.
