Incandescent waters painted with scintillating orbs of light, collide against the alabaster cliffs of Athens. Gods above grace the sky upon with a swirl of mesmerising hues. What their plans behold are only seen deep in the souls of composed citizens.
The colours painted on their canvases reveal their paved paths to their separate destinies. Some lay in endless piles of golden stars, gifts from their ancestors traits and founding. While others lay defeated on the dusty streets waiting for the ashen clouds to pass away.
An irenic woman sleeps under the stars, awaiting an opportunity. She desires a change in the reigns of the indestructible kakistocracy.
In the pristine tiles of his palace realms a young
Emperors' son. His boredom fuels his father's acrimony, trekking in an unwanted path, he too awaits an opportunity.
Is it possible to choose our destinies or are they paved beneath our feet?
Yet what do the Gods behold for us?

MYTH-TAKEN IDENTITY - a 2025 ONC novella
An introverted, recluse gamer accidentally finds out she's the reincarnation of a Greek god/goddess, and is stuck in a world-altering time-loop until she figures out WHICH god/goddess she's destined to become. ***** Ophelia Jones is...well, she's nothing. She asks for nothing. She WANTS nothing. Just to stay in her dark basement-apartment, do her mindless data-entering job by day, play video games by night. She refuses to participate in a real social life, and won't read the news or be active in the LGTBQIA+ scene that she belongs in. No, Ophelia is done giving a sh**. She'd rather live in her fantasy world, ignoring the real world around her. That is, until a mysterious puddle surfaces in her backyard, and she jokingly wonders if it'll be a portal to another world, someplace better - and she falls into it. Oh, she's transported to a new world, all right -- but not a parallel world or an alternate universe. She's transported to the past; into mythology, specifically. Greek mythology, to be even more exact. Because according to Alfie, her "spiritual guide", she's a reincarnated god or goddess, and has to figure out who. Problem? SHE KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT GREEK MYTHOLOGY. ONC prompts 37 + 5Complete
Song of Ashes
A jealous, vengeful goddess. A ruined land. A woman alone, desperate to survive. When the goddess Kogoren was betrayed by one of her worshipers, she took out her rage on her realm. In her righteous anger, she shattered the continent, raised razor-sharp mountains from the earth, and turned clear streams into burning rivers of molten stone. Fire rained from the sky and ashes blanketed cities and fields. The eruption of the Queen's Crest, Kogoren's holy mountain, killed every one of her priests. The world ended that day. Kogoren's people prayed. They wept. And when no help nor mercy came, they were lost. The Cataclysm was many years ago, before Sarka was born. The broken land and the hopeless people who survived it are all Sarka has ever known. No one speaks of the goddess now; her dark legacy is a shadow over the starved realm that still bears her name, a place where the best one can hope for is to survive the day. One day, a brush with death grants Sarka tragic clarity: if she stays in Kogoren, she will live a half-life punctuated with danger, hunger, and pain. What if there is a world out there beyond the reach of the goddess who left her children to die? Cover by @Abyss-of-CrazyComplete
Aphrodite in Disguise
Stripped of her memories and cast down to the mortal realm, Aphrodite, hidden in the mortal form (Rebecca), was forced to traverse a world she barely understood- an existence devoid of her memories of grandeur and divinity. Though she bore the title of the goddess of love, her heart was a blank canvas, untouched by the sweet experiences or painful longings that love entailed. Meanwhile, on the opposite side of the earth, Freen stumbled through her ordinary existence, untouched by the knowledge of the divines. Life had dealt her a harsh hand; after losing her parents, she had been forced to learn the art of survival in a world that seemed relentlessly unforgiving. Alone and isolated, devoid of loving hands to guide her, Freen's heart yearned for the warmth of affection that had always eluded her. Would the paths of these two young women, so starkly contrasted in their origins and experiences, ever converge? And in the grand tapestry of existence, could there truly be fairness in love and war, of mortals and primordial gods?
