Seclusion Stories

This is the love story in Eternal Love and Eternal Love of Dream but it is about Zhe Yan and a fem version of Bai Zhen. In it, they overcome love struggles and eventually find each other.

Leonie is dead, but she isn't gone yet... ___ There are two beginnings to this story. With one comes the promise of dust and ashes, of flickering flames and tendrils of smoke reaching up to the heavens. The other brings with it an ordinary sidewalk and two ordinary girls, playing in the sun and bonding over beetles. These two tales are connected, a string of manipulations and choices that lead to one girl trapped behind a glass window as fire licks at her feet and another girl hidden away in her own churning, broken mind. It leads to betrayals. It leads to bonds so strong they'll never break. And Death. Everything leads to Death in the end... ___ When thirteen-year-old Maia Owens retreats to her room, refusing to speak with anyone but her best friend, Leonie, there's certainly cause for concern. But when you add in the fact that fact that Leonie is dead - and has been for two weeks - it sparks something terrifying. Maia's parents are convinced that Leonie is a hallucination conjured by grief. Maia is equally sure that Leonie has come back from the grave to give her a second chance. But why would she need that chance? And what really happened the day of the fire that took Leonie's life? As the weeks pass and Leonie doesn't go away, Maia becomes certain that Leonie wants something from her, and she's desperate to deliver. But reality is not always what it seems, and as facts and falsehoods begin to blur, the truth becomes harder and harder to grasp. Time is ticking. Maia is losing herself. And one among them can't accept that it's too late to change the past. Cover credits go to @DaneAndKnight and @TheMythicalCommunity ** updated once a week

Amber learned a long time ago that nothing ever lasts, so you have to paint what you can, using your own colors instead of what others give you - otherwise you'll never know what true happiness and fulfillment is. To create is to grow, and everyone around her are just vines crawling on the trees of someone else's success.

I am many things, mostly, the bittersweet of being kindhearted. I keep wrestling with my twin over why I'm truly here, how I seemed fit for servitude in the gray of black and white. There's a machine world expectant of humanity's void and these invisible wars? Why do they start? Can we even escape them? We fight paths predestined for us only to come undone in woods with beastly creatures. "Let's run!" She said but I tarried, to her ghastly demise. Like I said, I am many things for the redress of all my misgivings but worst of all, I am enlisted.

Maye's pretentious and secretive but at the end maye becomes self awareness and healed.

Forget everything you think you know.....

If you finally achieved everything you set out to accomplish do you know what you would do next? Would you find another challenge? Or relish in your achievements? This story is about a Musician. He obssesses over all forms of Music and even thinks their is information inside Music that we can't understand. He catches glimpses sometimes but none of it makes sense. It is unclear when and where we find our Musician. He has obviously fought very hard to get to this point. So very close to the source. His little machines assist him throughout as he desperately tries to pry loose a sound that will not leave a room. Spectacle.
