We fell apart,

Like fallen leaves in October,

Even though we were from the same branch,

Our foolish promises and words spoken at whims couldn't anchor us to the tree,

So we flew apart with low blow of wind,

Now that I think,

Perhaps it was foolish of us,

To give our hearts to someone unknown,

But now so deep in love,

I wonder if we can call it a mistake,

Even though it only lasted for a season,

Perhaps it could sum up our lives.

Charles Alexander Worce III, once respected as the High-Exarch of Worcestershire and before that as Grand-General, finds himself grappling with the bitterness of being forgotten. With his years slipping away and having nothing to show for a lifetime devoted to service because of the new Earl, Worce begins to tell the tale of the Coalition War.

Cole Anderson, a senior in highschool, who gets a lot of notes left in his locker from his secret admirers, received an entire book of someone writing 12 things they loved about him.

He would have ignored it like all the others, but he realizes it was from someone he also feels the same way about.

Like yesterday, I remembered the day I have seen her

Something with a black dress and various colorful flowers on it

She stands in front of me singing the wildest song I have ever known

With the purity and faith in her heart about karma

I think she really did think about life

She’s a kind girl who will love you forever

She is like my mother

Do you ever seen an angle dance

fortunately, once I did

Time passes me by, the picture of the angle getting erasing from my mind

The face of light got faded it out

Can’t remember how she looks like

As I remember I have seen her a only few times in my life

Both know who we are but never talked

Feel the mirage of conversations

Charm and disciplinarity got her move on to my heart

Never knew how this is gonna be

If knew would have spoken to her ages before

the simplicity of yourself won all competitions in everyone’s life

Even though my mind still can barely see how you smile with me with your friends

I know those days are gone

Even now I can memorize you there

The place of we first saw each other

When we pass by the road of street we only smile at each other

Why haven’t we ever speak

I think it’s me not wanted to talk to you

The sacredness and shyness got me struck

Will never get those moments again

But

If I get I’ll not pass you by.

Everybody wants to be a billionaire. But not much like Elodi Coldwood, the only African-American in a small town in Kansas. He dreams big—bigger than anybody else. His experiences as the lone target for racism only fueled his excitement to live his not so distant dream. After a personal conversation with an old man, he was given the opportunity to become one of the richest man alive. But it’s an unlikely road that only a few have taken. And he would bet his life on a roll of a dice; a risk that he was willing to take. Well, who wouldn’t? Everybody wants to be a billionaire.

Priscilla is a 19 year old commoner in the kingdom of the powerful king Elijah, who falls in love with Priscilla the moment he sets his eyes on her. Both madly in love, like any couple, marry each other. They happily live their life, satisfied with everything, until Priscilla has a mishap, leaving Elijah and the kingdom forever. What was it? Was it an accident? Will Elijah ever get his love back?

En-pathos: in passion or suffering, from the greek word empatheia.

"If someone where to ask me if these 'gifts' are a blessing or a curse I would most definitely say its a curse. Dealing with me own life, emotions, memories and action is already hard enough but adding onto that without any control and so suddenly is certainly a curse but the gods."

Ember Hera is certainly an extraordinary or abnormal (however you see it that is), human being. Given a blessing or as she finds it, a curse, she is either way not normal. Even without her powers Ember has a past filled with sorrow and maybe pity when viewed by other people, losing her parents at the age of three and being raised by an aunt that is struggling herself is not easy. To add on to the fact she never got know her parents, she finds out her parents were murdered, brutally. A crime of passion maybe or just plain revenge Ember decides that she is going to catch the person responsible, but can she handle it? She's only 21 and still in college fighting everyday to be good student and study well, not only for a good job but for a job with great meaning to her. Will she be able to manage being a regular college student with these 'gifts' and trying to find her parents killer?

This story is categorized as a fantasy-mystery-thriller, with crime. And don't worry I don't write books without romance, but in the end it shows views of different perspectives that humans have to go through, it tells us that humans experience every emotion differently and gives an understanding that we cannot judge a persons behavior without looking at their emotions and memories that lead to their actions. That's my goal anyways, hope you enjoy!

-Destine

28 years ago a bet between two Gods was made, they based it on the faith of two mortals. If either faltered into corruption the God of Healing, Sulaiman Chevalier, would lose. However, if they remained faithful to the values of righteousness, the God of Destruction, Osmond Granville, would lose. Time would pass and the two would grow up to be fine men, that is until they turned 18. To the surprise of all Gods, this bet would take a turn for the worse when one of the mortals, Lexxon Asher, went mad and ended up slaughtering his own clan. It is said that he murdered all in sight with a swift slash of his blade, including himself at the very end. Time would pass and this tragic event would become known as "The Great Mishap".  Yet, 10 years later strange disappearances have been occurring in the small town known as Floria. A local town meeting is being held to address these disappearances. This is where our hero's gather for a couple words. This includes : Remmington Krofton, Baxton Langston, Percivl Lathan, and Lexxon Ash-... Wait, Lexxon Asher!? But 10 years ago...didn't he...?This is the story of our heroes who face and conquer their past hardships. (LGBT themes will be included) Will try to update every week!

You are the closest thing to a teacher that I have ever had. I hope I can honour your and walk on that hard path.

"Are you okay? Jungkook?" Lisa whispered as they stop dancing. Her hands brushed his cheeks as he looks at her. He smiled as he said the words Lisa would never forget.

"After this, you're not allowed to leave my side. Be it snowed, rain, sunshine, or storm, I won't let you leave me. Because. . .  you're mine."

Lisa, the daughter of the world-renowned Swiss master chef, moved to Seoul, South Korea, to find her missing brother. Leaving her home, Switzerland, and joined by her friends, it feels like the new place wouldn't be so boring after all. Little did she know that her new life will turn upside down as danger slowly comes knocking on her door. Meeting new people, allies and enemies, it seems like her life would never be peaceful. Especially meeting Jeon Jungkook, a man full of mysteries and dark secrets, who throws fastballs and meeting her 'coincidentally' at every opportunity seems not to take the hint of leaving her alone.

"I'm known as a villainous but I haven't done anything a villain would do. I was beaten up by my stepmother and stepsister, my father ignored me. My fiance cheated on me with my stepsister, and made up lies, making me the villainous. I may look like a villain but I'm not, and most people, mostly the adults know, and they'll help me no matter what. They'll go even to the resort of me getting engaged to another royal, from another country, the man known as the "Beast" just by rumors. Maybe it was fate or destiny but I know that a future with him will be the safest and happiest, but on the road there it'll be dangerous." Angelica said.
