post-event slaves undersea underwater

At the bottom of Ulva lies the Holdfast, a crumpled mess of old ships that form the colony’s foundations. Hidden in its dark recesses are items from a time when humans lived on the surface, a time before they were forced to take shelter in the oceans. 

Calder trawls the mangled ruins in the hope of finding something that will make him rich. A chance encounter means he no longer has to do it alone, now he has a partner, a girl named Trice. 

The darkness contains more than treasure though, it hides secrets too. When the pair stumble into a gang of slavers and their latest captives, they put their lives on the line to rescue one, but what will their heroics cost them?Tüm hakları saklıdır

[⚠️ Chapter 41+ are paid content via Ko-fi ⚠️] ── ─ ┈┈┈┄┄╌╌ The De Luca brothers reign supreme in the underworld, holding dominion over the ruthless realm of the Italian Mafia. They are cold, merciless, driven by madness, their loyalty solely to blood. Yet, their lives take an unexpected turn when they discovered their thirteen years old little sister. *** "When she was choking me, is that... love?" she whispered, her voice barely audible, each word trembling as if afraid to leave her lips. Her eyes, wide and glassy, searched mine desperately, seeking a truth that she couldn't grasp amidst the fog of confusion and despair that clouded her mind. My heart seethed with rage, a torrent of emotions crashing against the walls of my restraint, threatening to betray the stoic facade I had carefully constructed. I wanted to scream, to shake her out of this misguided belief. Hestia, my little sister, stared back at me. Her innocence tainted by the cruel hands of someone who had twisted the meaning of love into something unrecognizable. She couldn't differentiate the painfully obvious truth, the clear distinction between love and control, kindness and cruelty. It was as if the very essence of her spirit was being suffocated, just as her breath had been. ── ─ ┈┈┈┄┄╌╌ [⚠️ Chapter 41+ are paid content via Ko-fi ⚠️] ⚠️ Trigger Warning: This story contains sensitive and potentially distressing themes, including abuse, sexual assault, rape, psychological trauma, and mature content.

Every Dagerstanteen knows Rhylent dislikes humans. In fact, the alien isn't a fan of ninety percent of the other species in the universe. But all that changes when he refuels his spaceship and begrudgingly accepts two slaves. Although it would make more sense to kill these silly creatures, oddly, he cannot bring himself to do it. So... what now? For the last fifty human years, Chasm has been a slave and a laborer for whatever alien owns him. Chasm and his only friend, Norwell, get bought, sold, and trafficked again. Now, stuck in a slave market, Chasm faces that their latest master has decided that they're a waste. Just as Chasm and Norwell are to be incinerated, an ill-tempered Dagerstanteen saves his life. Chasm isn't sure what will happen to him and Norwell, but he can be sure no alien will ever want a human as damaged as him. If Norwell and Chasm can escape the prickly alien who now possesses them, they will be free. That's what he wants, isn't it? To be free?

In a world where time moves differently for those forgotten by history, a group of ancient, enigmatic beings-each bound to a unique object-are mysteriously drawn together. Nerissa, the sea-borne spirit of ocean tides; Vellum, the antique bottle of untold secrets; Blythe, the pastel button with a gentle, comforting presence; Verdigris, the weathered weather vane holding quiet moral strength; Roselle, the nostalgic and dreamy embodiment of childhood whimsy; Rive, the stoic bow and arrow that senses danger before it strikes; Relic, the fossil of forgotten eras; Halogen, the cryptic lantern carrying forgotten stories; Luster, the ever-positive sponge with an aura of refreshment; and Clarisse, the poised and polished pearl hair clip-all find themselves brought together under mysterious circumstances. Their convergence is no accident. The moonlit gathering in the quiet wilderness signals an ancient force awakening, something that could reshape time itself. Each character carries with them the weight of forgotten histories, cryptic messages, and the potential to change the fate of the world. But the deeper mystery remains-what binds them? What role do they play in the unraveling of a secret older than any of them can comprehend?

IndigoWaters tarafından yazılmış A Sunken Truth-Book One adlı hikaye

Kaia Rynn has spent her life surviving on the floating islands, diving the ruins of the drowned world for relics to trade. But diving isn't her only skill - she's a thief, nimble with her hands and unafraid to pickpocket the wealthy traders who would never spare her a coin otherwise. Orphaned young and raised by her sister Elara, Kaia has lived alone ever since Elara mysteriously vanished six years ago. The whispers say pirates took her. Kaia has never stopped searching. One night, Kaia's thieving streak finally catches up with her. She's caught in the act by a sharp-eyed stranger - a man named Cassius Vale, who proves far more dangerous than he first seems. Instead of turning her in, Cassius strikes a deal: he'll keep her secret, if she helps him hunt down the pirates who stole his daughter. Reluctantly, Kaia agrees. What begins as an uneasy alliance becomes a partnership built on shared scars. Their search takes them across the drifting islands and into the abyssal depths, where rival divers, ruthless merchants, and storm-lashed seas are the least of their dangers. Kaia and Cassius uncover fragments of the past - relics that hint at pirate strongholds, hidden maps, and even the fate of the family they lost. But the closer they come to the truth, the more perilous their path becomes. The pirates rule the waters with blood and fire, and not all who vanish into their grasp come back the same. As Kaia and Cassius navigate betrayal, discovery, and the growing bond between them, they must face the hardest truth of all: finding their family might not mean saving them.
