When Krešimir Kraljević, a Croatian Roman Catholic priest, who has been leading a double life at Zagreb Cathedral in Yugoslavia for the past twelve years takes a routine confession one afternoon in November 1940, it triggers a suppressed desire to avenge his father's murder and to consummate a forbidden love, reminding him of who he was before he became a priest and a 'vampir'.

After leaving the priesthood, his world is turned upside down when the past begins to unravel and he discovers everything and everyone in his life was part of a masterfully crafted plan by a secret organization and the man who murdered his father, Vukar Vrago is actually a fallen angel and the father of Greta, an orphan he was raised with and has loved since he was ten years old. 

As he adapts to 'life on the outside' after nineteen years, family and friends begin to reveal dark secrets that hail all the way back to ancient times, spanning across the globe, and he begins to understand why everything is as it should be, despite the fact that he previously thought his life was the result of pure happenstance. It is then that he begins a journey of self-acceptance, which requires embracing both good and bad within himself to fight one of the most evil beings that ever walked the earth, while also contemplating his decision to sacrifice his mortality for Greta, whom he is uncertain will leave her new life in America to return to him.

THE TRAITORS by Florian12T
1 part Complete Mature
ALBANIA, 1948. There is a rift in the socialist camp. Yugoslavia is expelled from COMINFORM. Albania splits from Yugoslavia and repledges allegiance to USSR. Tracts are being dispersed in Shkoder, most anti-communist city in the country, and Colonel Kapllani, chief of internal affairs branch, must solve the matter quickly. He puts pressure to one of his young subordinates, Zef, to find the culprits. To his shock, the Zef reveals (in blasé fashion) who's behind the whole thing; Pjeter Grima, the chief's second-in-command, rising star in the State Security, and Zef's best friend. The furious chief puts both friends under arrest. They are viciously tortured by their former colleagues. During their trial (broadcasted live on radio and via loudspeakers), Pjeter, faced with a 23-year sentence, exposes their involvement in the largest BLACK OP in the country, orchestrated by the government, executed to perfection by they themselves. It shakes the establishment to the bone, bringing the downfall of many, causing the trials to be held behind closed doors from then on. Pjeter's prison sentence is quickly commuted to death sentence... The book investigates the backstory of the two mates (both fatherless, in love with the same woman), the causes of their quarrel and their strange path to spiritual redemption. Parallelly, it deals with two important events in Albanian history, one of them being the notorious BLACK OP during which heavy weaponry was hidden in the Franciscan Monastery of Shkoder by State Security forces. The friars were tried for 'insurrection' and executed. Their heroic endurance has become the stuff of legends. It led to the gradual transformation of the protagonists...

*Vampires* II *Romance* II *Action* Elli Nilsson is twenty years old when she is abducted as hostage by a horde of blood-suckers called the Vampists. The Vampists, from a magical kingdom called Reminis, have threathened Elli's father into making them suits of chainmail that would prevent them from being killed. The villains, however, didn't fulfill their promise. They kill Elli's father once they receive the suits of chainmail. Driven by hatred and fury, Elli vows to avenge her father. She has teamed up with three sorcerors in her quest of bringing the Vampists down. As the quest goes on, Elli soon realises, the kingpin of the Vampists, Vadiraj, is nobody but a confused man who strives to earn the respect of his kin. While everyone sees him as a vicious blood-sucker who desires to conquer the kingdom of Reminis, they didn't see his loneliness. While everyone sees him as a vicious man who kills to live, they didn't see he's capable to love. While everyone sees him opening the portal to the human world to get the protective chainmail, they didn't see he's there for a hidden motive. It all starts with a prophecy. __________ I'd like to emphasize that I don't own the pictures or the videos in the Multimedia column. The songs may not have any relation to the story line. They're, however, my favourite. They're not meant to be listened along the story. __________ This story has intense plots and every scene. Please note that English is only my third language. So, if you see any grammatical mistakes, forgive me. I love feedback and will always return the favour. __________ This story has two parts in most of the chapters. The first part is under Elli's POV. It has stronger fantasy cum adventure elements. The second part is under Vadiraj's POV. It's more towards romance and paranormal genres. Hmm, what else? Have fun!

Vienna wanted a normal life, as normal as a witch can be. That's what she aimed when she moved to London. However, fate has a different agenda to offer, there she met a fellow witch whose job as a cop inspired her and brought out the inner desire she had to help. She came across a few amounts of trouble by helping, including romantic troubles, but she was never fazed. When a friend of hers needed help, she's into it no matter the consequences. Of course it ain't only consequences that's what fate brought her, it may also be, herself. Most of the time, we help because we know we have the ability to. Not for Vienna though, for every soul she helped might open up a piece of her abilities. -------------------- "Vienna, I have a question." "What is it Dark?" "Is there a way to make me human again?" I looked at him with uncertainty. "I'll try to find out." "You're a witch, can't you cast a spell on me or something?" "It doesn't work that way Dark, but I'm gonna try to find out what I can. I'll help you. If I can't help you become a human again, I can at least help you accept what you are now." with that said, I went upstairs and into Gibson's dinning room, he sat there wearing a fit white shirt and a plate of beef infront. I sat down across him and started cutting down the meat. "What took you so long?" he asked as he started digging in as well. "He gained a little control of himself and wanted to become human again." "If he wants to commit suicide, he can do that." "So you mean there's a way to make him human again?" "Yeah but nobody does that." "Do you know how?" he looked at me with narrowed eyes. "If you'd care to read the witch history book, you'd know." "I think I have a copy in my case, am gonna check it out later." "Let me guess, you want to help him?" "Why not? I helped you, I guess I can do the same for him." "You can be a helper witch now, you know that?" "Well I am gonna be honored to be." --------------------
