Rodrigo Zacara and the Mirror of Power by victorgayol

Rodrigo is used to his best friend, Oliver, getting him into trouble every once in a while but never had he imagined that one of his craziest ideas would take them to the Kingdom of Karinthia, a magical world where each person has a different power. Although Oliver loves adventure, he soon realises the danger they are in: the entirety of Karinthia is subject to the tyrannical power of Emperor Arakaz and children are obliged to appear before him at twelve years old to swear their loyalty. Luckily, the boys soon find refuge in Garador Fortress where they join a secret order of knights who fight against the cruelty of the emperor. What they hadn't imagined is that one of them is destined to play a key role in this fight.

The Mad People's Dorm by bhavna_ojhaa

"Mad People's Dorm" is a heartfelt collection of poetry that takes you deep into the emotions and thoughts of someone battling anxiety, betrayal, and inner turmoil. Each poem is a window into a mind that has faced darkness and is striving to find light and hope. In this collection, I explore themes of madness and sanity, the pain of feeling misunderstood, and the struggle to rise above societal expectations. Here's a little overview about a few poems from this poetry collection which consists of 100 poems. "Psychic Intuition" talks about the confusing and hurtful voices in our heads and how they can shape our perceptions. "The Beauty of Masterminds" is a reminder that those who seem fragile are often the strongest, outsmarting those who try to deceive them. "Living Inside the Head" captures the feeling of being trapped in our own minds, finding solace in small joys amidst the chaos. "To Be Loved by a Man" is a dream of unconditional love and acceptance, while "Shakespeare and Love" reflects on the hopes and fears of loving and being loved. "Mad People's Dorm" is for anyone who has felt alone in their struggles, who has questioned their worth, and who has yearned for understanding. It's a journey through pain and healing, a testament to resilience, and a reminder that there is always hope. Join me in exploring these poems, and together, let's find solace in shared experiences and the power of words. Copyright Notice © 2024 Bhavna Ojha. All rights reserved.

$2.86. Two dollars and eighty six cents was all it took for you to fall for Luigi Mangione. But now, it's been four months since you'd last seen him. And you'd pay a million times that to have him back. ~For legal purposes, this is FICTION and anything that is similar or the same as real life is purely coincidental~
