    Mirror Sky. Part 1 - Blissful Nemesis
    The future is predetermined. It can't be changed. But who casts the future in stone? It's you, me, and every one of us. The iron grip of our fate doesn't come from gods or physics but from us. You are oppressed by your future self to walk the one and only road. Knowing the future changes nothing - this knowledge has already been written into your fate. Time travel is meaningless for the same reason - all your meddlings had also become a part of your fate before you even embarked on your journey through time. Could this strange duality of free will and fate be challenged? If so, what would it take? How far are you willing to go to change your dark fate? Is the risk of erasing the universe from existence worth your brighter future?

  • Metamorphose [7]
    Metamorphose [7]
    If you had the chance to go back in time and change the past of all your mistakes, would you do it? How far would you be willing to go to change yourself and not risk losing your family in the midst? Ever since the young female known as Rebecca had lost nearly everyone she ever cared about in the reality plain, mostly due to her personality and just not being good enough, she had started to focus on herself more and working towards finding out who she truly was. What she discovered was rather surprising, but in hindsight, it was not the case. She wanted to change herself, become someone better and leave behind the scarred, weakened body that she had now. However, the leader of the manor began to fear many things from risking the respect of her family to losing the one man that's always been by her side since the beginning, causing her to worry and overthink things to the point where her imagination goes a bit too far down a dark path that a certain creature of the past soon encourages her to follow. Sidenote: Hello there, everyone! I just wanted to say something real quick before you proceed with reading this short story of mine and that is that this one is rather personal, more than my other stories in a sense where it pertains to my current struggle in my outside life of identifying as a male rather than a female these days. I hope you understand and enjoy the story. Thank you for reading.
