I have had experiences with God throughout most of my life. This doesn't make me any different than anyone else though. It also didn't bring an ease to flow through my life either. But the best part is that because I'm human, I didn't want to do things that my heart knew that I should. This brought me into a twirling vortex of suffering, paranoia, and complicated experiences with realm of spirituality that I had to from that moment on follow my heart no matter the challenges. I continued to fall. I also continued to get up!

"Yes, I did." The Olympian trial was in motion, and those three words resonated through the walls of the throne room, Sending a tingle down every God's spine. Silence followed, then a question "Why..?" "He went too far this time Lord Zeus." "Too far? You made him so miserable then killed him, just for the sake of vengeance?" The accused stayed quiet. Meanwhile the sea God was finding it hard to contain his rage, anger brewing inside him like a tornado about to decimate whatever stood in its way.

Beast of the Moon(Editing)
Not every book has a hero And not every Fairytale has a prince I am a person just like you Not some force that cannot be hurt My heart can be broken And my mind can be shattered I may not be human but I'm sure as hell not normal ====================== "I like to believe we have a purpose in life, something that defines who we are inside and out, we find ourselves through that long and hard trial. People often ask me where I find myself or how I did, if I'm being honest, I don't really find myself anywhere, and I think that's ok".Complete
DanMachi: Descent Of A Tragedy
A long time ago, shortly before the Gods descended upon the lower world, Zeus spoke with a fellow deity. "Soon the divine will abdicate their place in heaven; they strive for entertainment in the lower world. However, I must demand that you remain here." The deity was confused, Zeus quickly caught onto his complicated expression. "Your divine power is far too great. Even if we were to seal it, you would likely become a tragedy to the beings of the lower world." Zeus expanded, understanding his explanation the deity hesitantly accepted the old God's demands. Soon after this conversation, the gods descended, The Deity was left trapped in an empty husk of the once bustling heaven. For a millennia the god was isolated and trained in completed solitude... each and everyday he practiced completely suppressing his divinity within his body. The process was grueling. The potent energy he locked within himself eventually began to tear him apart from the inside. In the end, the pain was only a small price to pay... If his torture succeseeded his divinity would be completely cotained and then he could finish step foot into the lower world without causing a tragedy. (This is an OC story and a lot of things probably won't be canon since I'm just going for a fun time while writing this story. ) (Also I know Azrael is an angel but for they're a god cuz why not) 🥇Freya 07/02/2025

WHERE THE HUMANS HOWL
You must be familiar with wolves' howls but I want to show you the world where humans howl. Pain is a fundamental part of the human experience, which means that it's a fundamental part of storytelling. It's the root of some of our best metaphors, our most elegant writing. Characters in fiction suffer, because their suffering mirrors our own. Some of this collection of short stories explore themes of catastrophe, death and despair, while others talk of love and longing, with them all being highly complimented by readers with emotive writing skills. In the short story 'Donkey-Man', we read about a man who lived all his life among animals and writer, as a child, is surprised to know that he was a human. In the story "In Search of God' we meet a character who is confused by different religious sect and defines God in his own simple way. The villagers, who claim the real follower of God, don't allow him to live in the village, but he is welcomed by God. In the story, "The Last Storyteller", the narrator is at odds with a changing world. Through his three windows, he is offered glimpses of beauty and joy, but, alas, reality intrudes. On the way to capturing his tale, the windows show him the grace of the blue bird who sings in his garden, the joy of the young boys playing cricket by the graveyard and lastly, the sadness of a mysterious figure, the Last Storyteller, whose livelihood is as endangered as that of the rare bird's. Although some of these stories do deal with rather gloomy thoughts of life, they are all written in such a way that the stories told are interesting to read and really do make you think. This collection of short stories is definitely an interesting read with some of the questions not always being fully answered. And with many of the stories covering such dark subjects you will truly find it a hard book to put down.Complete
Ethereal Descent (Book One of The Ethereal Series)
"You can't possibly be okay with this," I motion to myself, "Me being a..a demon. It goes against everything you were raised to believe." "What I was forced to believe." Sam interjects, suddenly directly in front of me, caging me against the counter as I look up at him. When the fuck did he get there? Enhanced senses, my ass, Ves. "From what you told me, God is obviously real, along with Heaven and Hell. If my parents had raised me right, then I might have been appalled by the fact that you're a demon," His hazel eyes watch me, so much emotion swirling in his orbs causing chills to travel up my body, "But the fact that you, a demon, have shown more kindness to me than my own parents," his voice deepens as his head tilts slightly, "How bad could you possibly be?" I stand there motionless, lost for words. Am I drunk? Is he? I didn't drink that much. Then again it was half the bottle, but still I have more tolerance than that. It seems like every time I take a break from this man, he changes more and more. I don't know if it's actually his true personality or what, but I can never get out of this loop. Being too distracted with my thoughts, I fail to notice when Sam moves and his lips soon mold with mine in a kiss. And I kiss him back.Complete
