The Ancestral Amazonees is a witch coven living in the outskirts of the Amazon Rainforest. Close enough to the town, deep inside the forest to be left alone, undisturbed. In the coven, the people practice witchcraft using the ancestors that came before them, but only one, the Alcalde, can communicate with the most powerful ancestors. The Alcalde can make wishes and dreams come true for a price while being guided by the ancestors on what he should give and take.
A poverty-stricken couple of the Ancestral Amazonees just wish to have a successful business to build their family and get out of poverty. The Alcalde, Ransom, promises to give them customers if they give their first born as a sacrifice. On the day of the sacrifice, when the child is born, Ransom prepares to kill the child when everyone around him stops him, telling him there is a better way to resolve this while giving the ancestors what they want. Punished, gifted; cursed, blessed; that's all the ancestors give, and an Amazonee would be unwise to deny the ancestors.

Beyond the Mask
Started: March 20, 2026 Ended: She died... but not completely. Valeria is back-this time, in her own body. No more pretending. She finally reclaimed what was hers. But everything she left behind? Hindi pa rin tapos. Fate has a cruel way of playing games... dahil muling pinagtagpo ang landas nila ni Alysandra-not as lovers, not as strangers-but as business partners. The same woman who once held her like she was everything... now looks at her like she's nothing. Alysandra is still trapped in the past-haunted by the love she lost, grieving the wife she thinks she buried... unaware that the soul she cried for is standing right in front of her. And Valeria? She knows the truth. She remembers everything. She feels everything... even the things she never dared to admit. But the question is- Should she tell Alysandra the truth? Or keep hiding behind a different kind of mask... forever? Because some truths don't just heal- they destroy. And some love... is better left buried. If the woman you loved died... but came back as someone else- would you still choose her... beyond the mask?Complete
