Resistance Stories

In Ashra, boys vanish in the night. No one talks about it. No one fights it. Except Leya. For four years, she has lived in the shadows, rescuing stolen children from the Commander's camps and leading them back to their families. Armed with daggers and stubborn hope, she has made herself into a weapon against the city that took her brother. But the Commander has a weapon too. Riven Ashford. The Dark Guard. The masked enforcer who never hesitates. Until one night, he does. When Leya comes face to face with the man hunting her, something fractures between them. A pause. A look. A choice not to strike. And suddenly the war between them is no longer just about rescue missions and rebellion. It is about truth. About what was stolen. And about whether a guard can ever stop being a weapon. In a city built on obedience, defiance is dangerous. And connection may be the deadliest risk of all.

I should be in my room, I told myself. Or at least somewhere familiar. . . Word reached the inner hall within moments. "Sona has returned." . . "Struggling won't break it." "Then you don't know who you've tied," she shot back. "And that's your mistake." . . "You think this is about safety?" she demanded. "This is about possession." . . . She held his gaze, "And what feels out of place about me?" "Nothing," he said after a moment. "That's what makes it noticeable." For the first time, she smiled-small, controlled. "My name is Kirti." . . . "Since I'm clearly being discussed-I am Shri." . . "He told me to pack my bags," Shri said. "Said I was late." "I asked him why," Shri went on. "He said, 'Because if you don't leave now, you'll miss her.'"

A marriage he didn't choose. A life that refused to loosen its hold. A man who never needed permission- because Wenlang had already been chosen long ago.

For nearly a thousand years, we have been here. No banners. No armies. No seat of power that any living person could point to on a map. Only vaults hidden in forgotten places, ciphers written in languages the world believes are dead, and the quiet, stubborn conviction that truth does not disappear simply because the powerful wish it would. We are the Society of Truth. And we have been watching longer than the Council has been lying. Founded in secret by goblin archivists and orc scholars in an age when history was already beginning to be rewritten, we have spent centuries doing what no one else would. Preserving the records of the defeated. Smuggling artifacts out of war zones. Hiding copies of documents before they could be altered. Teaching true names in secret to keep them alive for one more generation. We did not fight the Council with swords. We fought them with memory. This is our archive. These Vault Records are the preserved testimonies, histories, and documents of the Society of Truth. Recovered from the vaults we built in the bones of the world, for the seekers of truth who would come looking for what was lost. Some of what you find here will be difficult to read. It was difficult to live. But it happened. And that means it deserves to be remembered. For the truth is never gone, only buried.

What begins as survival becomes revolution. From the slums to the shattered gates of Abuja, Rise of the Rejects is a story of power, sacrifice, found family, and the question that could burn a nation to the ground: Can those cast aside by society rise high enough to change it?

Updates on Sundays and Tuesdays! ------------------------------------------------ When 'reach for the stars' stops being a metaphor. Being a productive member of society was always expected of me-by my family, my friends, and my coworkers. I thought I was doing my part in customer support, helping people every day, until the demands pushed me past my breaking point. So I left.

Just when I believe I've finally found peace, strange lights circle the stars-and I'm lifted off the path leading back home. I wake in a place that is cold, controlled, and very interested in what I can do. What first looks like a gift-a greenhouse, fertile soil, the chance to grow-quickly becomes something else entirely. I wasn't brought here by accident. I was chosen because I'm useful. As the trials continue and my memories begin to blur, I'm forced to confront the truth of their desperation-and the cost of refusing to cooperate. They need me to save their world. I just want my life back-if I can still remember what that was. Author's note: This novella is my first entry for the Wattpad Open Novella Contest.

One year after the Battle of Exegol, scattered remnants of the First Order threaten to regroup in the Outer Rim. Resistance Agent Volition is dispatched to Batuu, tasked with investigating their growing activity. She is partnered with Rings, a stoic and mysterious mercenary with secrets of his own. With each battle fought and each piece of intel uncovered, their trust in each other strengthens. But in typical Resistance fashion, things rarely go according to plan, sending the unlikely duo across the Outer Rim on a bold mission to end the First Order threat once and for all... Author's Note: I stayed as true to Star Wars canon and lore as possible. The two main characters, Rings and Volition, were created by me. This story focuses on character growth, engaging dialogue with some fun banter, tight action sequences, and some well known guest appearances. The tone is Star Wars PG fan fiction, so there's no swearing (does Dank farrik count?) and no excessive violence. I broke the chapters up into smaller "Episodes" to make it easier to digest. A fun and (hopefully) enjoyable read for any Star Wars fan. Your feedback is highly encouraged and greatly appreciated!
