Friends

Friends are people we can rely on, like a second parent, and trust. But how can we know who our real friends are and who might be pretending? This is the story of Chail, Mieal, and Mia, three kids who just started primary school. Even though they come from different backgrounds and make different choices in life, could their differences actually help them become friends?

Shay is a normal kid. perfectly normal. And that is a big problem. Because All Shay's parents want is a famous child. they give her Iq tests every week to see if she will get an above average score. They push her and prod her and antagonize her to see if she is a karate master in diguise. They want an above average kid, they got a below average kid. Shay tries hard, very hard to be great. That isint hapenning. But then Shay discovers a passion for writing, and all of a sudenn Shay isint too far from fame. But is fame what she wants?

In the kingdom of Velyria, every family must adhere to a rigid law of childbearing. Women are required to have exactly three children: the eldest inherits the family business, the second is conscripted into the army, and the third becomes a scholar. Any deviation from this order leads to brutal punishment—execution, exile, or enslavement.

Merritt, an illegal fourth-born, should have been executed at birth, but his mother's defiance spared him—at the cost of her life. Raised as an outcast, Merritt fought his way into the prestigious Academy of War, where he became one of its top students, second only to Augustine, the second-born prince of Velyria who is destined for the front lines.

When an enemy kingdom strikes Velyria with a devastating attack, killing countless soldiers, the kingdom's rulers send every available recruit to the battlefield—including Augustine, Merritt, and two unlikely companions: Everest, a boy haunted by the death of his twin sister, and Kaito, a servant born from a forbidden love between a noble and a servant. Forced by the urgency of war, even those who were never meant to fight are swept up in the tide.

But everything changes when the four are captured by the enemy under the cover of night. Taken into enemy territory, they are subjected to the harsh ways of their captors and see the reality of war from a new perspective. As they train and form unexpected bonds with their captors—including a noble with secrets of their own—they begin to realize that the war is not the black-and-white conflict they were taught to believe in. Both Velyria and the enemy kingdom are steeped in corruption, using their people as pawns in a war fueled by lies and power.

As the four grow closer, they survive small battles, endure brutal challenges, and lean on each other through hardship. When a spy within their new camp offers them a chance to defect and fight for the enemy, they seize it—only to discover it's a test of loyalty designed to break them.

Back in Velyria, Augustine's father discovers their supposed betrayal and offers them a deadly ultimatum: betray the enemy kingdom by delivering vital information or face permanent exile. But Augustine, alongside his newfound allies, makes a bold choice. They reject both kingdoms, determined to escape the shackles of their birthrights and the lies that have shaped their world.United by friendship and driven by the desire for a better future, Merritt, Augustine, Everest, and Kaito spark a revolution—one that could break the chains of Velyria's ancient laws and change the kingdom forever.

**The Silent Chains** is a gripping tale of rebellion, friendship, and the search for truth in a world that seeks to control every life.

Note before you start reading: Everything you're about to read was first written in Romanian and then translated. English is not my first language, so I cannot guarantee the absence of grammatical errors. If you're okay with overlooking potential grammatical and structural mistakes, then I wish you an enjoyable reading experience. Keep in mind the story is very long.

Summary:

Gora was once a thriving city, a beacon of trade and civilization on the edge of the vast Unnamed Plains. But now, it lies trapped—encircled by an ever-shifting, ivory labyrinth that no one can escape.

For months, Captain Reiner and his soldiers have fought to break through the maze’s twisting walls. Every mission into the labyrinth ends in disaster, as the paths shift with a cruel intelligence, cutting off hope and claiming the lives of men. The city of Gora, barely visible through the towering maze, is cut off from the world, its people starving, its fate unknown.

As Captain Reiner prepares to lead another group of men into the labyrinth, he faces a dire choice—risk everything on a dangerous gamble to breach the maze and save the city, or accept that Gora may be lost forever. But the labyrinth isn’t just a prison. It’s a weapon, and its master is waiting.

This story follows Mizuha’s daily life at her new high school, including her friendships and the challenges she faces. It also features the stories of her friends, exploring their backgrounds and past experiences.

I loud bang shakes the whole building. A muscular man comes charging threw the wall and grabs me, holding me up over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes. I squeal and kick him as hard as I can in his chest, but he doesn't let up. He carries me all the way to his black Hyundai Porter, then throws me in the back seat. For my kidnapper, he's being surprisingly gentle with me. I scream as he slams the car door, banging it on my head. I yelp in pain as everything goes black.

In the vast tapestry of life, our relationship is the most beautiful thread. Every moment we share, every challenge we overcome, and every dream we pursue together adds to the richness of our story.

You are my source of strength and inspiration. Your unwavering support and boundless love have shown me that together, we can conquer anything. When the world feels heavy, your presence lightens my heart. When I doubt myself, your belief in me reignites my confidence.

Our journey is not just about the milestones we achieve but the countless little moments that make our bond unbreakable. The laughter we share, the quiet times of reflection, and the dreams we build together are the essence of our love.

Remember, that our relationship is a partnership of equals. We lift each other up, celebrate each other’s successes, and provide comfort in times of need. Your strength, kindness, and resilience inspire me every day to be the best version of myself.

As we continue this journey together, know that my love for you grows deeper with each passing day. You are my rock, my confidant, and my greatest treasure. Together, we will face every challenge, embrace every joy, and create a future filled with endless possibilities.

With all my love and admiration❤️

About the novel:

The warring states of the world are warming around the new fires of a calamitous war, freed from half a decade in shackles of so-called peace. The seven great lands and seas of humanity are all but controlled by one element. Eifer. They give birth to the wrath of our species and is a breeder of sin. With the ever growing threat of the prosperous Confederacy looming over the continent, the ailing alliance of Aelon lies on an endless path of futile resistance in the face of the vastest invasion since the Second Calamity. Of the billions who would suffer for it, Arminius Reichner, a seemingly commoner schoolboy, is trapped in the outbreak of war. There is but one exit. Into the fields where no man would dare tread if they knew the horrors that would befall them. Every sane person had dreamt of the praise and fame that they could earn from the people of their kingdoms through war, but none truly understood how such a childish dream has shattered even the most resolute of minds. Victory has become a forgotten word in a cruel world once called paradise. Hell sits not so far.
