Rishad Khanna, a quiet and introverted young man, has always lived in the shadows of his powerful family. Despite being surrounded by wealth and success, his heart is consumed by a secret love for Alia, the girl who became part of their family after a tragedy. Unable to express his feelings, Rishad sends her love letters and gifts anonymously, watching from a distance as Alia tries to uncover the identity of her secret admirer.

But when someone discovers this secret, things take a surprising turn. What happens next turns Rishad's world upside down, leading to a twist that will leave you questioning everything.

"You saved me from a world I did not belong to, a world I didn't want. You became my world. My everything. So for you I wrote this symphony of sounds. Follow your dreams, my love. Find your Serenity."

Rena lost her mother at the age of 5 and was left in the care of a guardian who wanted nothing to do with her. Lost and alone, she began to lose hope. Her world was gray until a pair of emerald green eyes ignited the rainbow once again. A childhood spent together, blossoming the seeds of love, only to be torn apart. He chose to leave to protect her, but at what cost? Will it cost him her love or will she hold on to hope of his return?

A/N - This is the "afterward" or true story of Rena Reyes from my crossover story. This is her past and what was meant to happen instead of meeting the Guardians.

IN THE QUIET, A LOVE STORY AWAKES. Experience a love story that ended before it began. Surrender to the emotional depths of a new romantic drama, a sweeping tale of passion, heartache, and redemption, as two souls navigate the twists and turns of fate to discover the true meaning of love.

There are things no one was meant to see, and darkness that should never have been given living form.

"That the world is coming to an end has long since been a dead issue. Everyone has heard of it. Those who have seen it know what the truth is, those who haven't either believe it or not. Either way, no one really cares. We shattered reality itself to shards, but even the apocalypse could not make a difference. Those who are lucky enough to live well don't care about other people's misery or how the world collapses, not even if their own children will have nothing to inherit but ashes and fear, and no matter how much power they have, they only use it for their own benefit, while bringing suffering to others. And the worst is, no matter what nightmarish old or new ideologies they use to justify their deeds, the flock will follow. In the end, the story is always the same."

This is the story of a broken world haunted by the deepest horrors of the human soul, relentless persecution and superstitious hatred, a fanatic war against everything that is not human, and the damned who oppose and never yield to fate. This is not a fairytale.

What to expect:

A deep dark medieval high-fantasy with elves, dwarves, fairies and demons, magic and swords, romance and hatred, and a post-apocalyptic world. This is not a fanfiction of any sort, it's an original story that popped out from my head, and it's very dear to me. I am really happy if you find it worth reading!

Please read the short "Good to know" chapter before you dive in!

I made these poems when I was first falling in-love with my girlfriend. It started with how I felt whenever I was talking to her and how she made me feel. Also it made me realize that I wanted to be with her.

Valentine's Day was approaching fast, and I bet my boyfriend forgot.

Until now, Siaolong realized that the young woman lying in the dilapidated wooden coffin was the one in his heart. The one he destroyed with his own hands. She lay slanted, asleep under a pile of old, tattered fabric, with a small smile at the corner of her lips

Potom, co se Jeremy náhle rozhodne pro odjezd do vzdálené země, Harper zůstává ve stále stejném, neznámém městě, obklopena spoustou cizích, či nepřátelských lidí. Postupně ztrácí sílu a vůli, ale co hůř? Harper Evansová si uvědomí, že pomalu ztrácí poslední milovanou osobu ve svém životě. Když se tak stane, sama se ocitne na hraně života a smrti. Okusí, jaké to je být skutečně na dně a udělá cokoliv pro to, aby se dostala zpátky na vrchol.

,,Slib mi, Harper, že nikdy nepřestaneš doufat,  že i když se ocitneš na místě, odkud se nebudeš moci dostat pryč- nikdy nepřestaneš bojovat, nikdy neztratíš naději. Slib mi to Harper, prosím."

,,Slibuji."

Kéž bych ona slova nikdy nevyslovila. Kéž by navždy zůstala viset na mých rtech, aniž bych je vyslovila nahlas. Lítost, jež mne nyní sužuje je příliš velká na to, abych ji byla schopná unést. Pokud ji ovšem unésti chci. Roky se potloukám životem, který připomíná jednu velkou tragédii a pro co vlastně? Všichni mí milovaní mě opustili a zanechali napospas zrádným nástrahám existence. Matka raději odjela tisíce mil daleko, než aby se o mě musela starat. Táta zachránil svého parťáka a upřednostnil ho tak přede mnou. Jeremy se rozhodl pro vysněný, šťastný život v zahraničí, jehož nejsem součástí. Tetička vzdala boj s rakovinou, ale její poslední slova byla právě o neztrácení naděje a vůle žít. Není to ironické?

My name is Megan. In 1991, I was 16 and dating the boy I had always loved. I had not expected that my destiny would be radically changed by the arrival of Jessy. This 17-year-old boy attracts me from the first glance, even if he seems to be fleeing the whole world. Gradually, I get closer to him and discover him. One evening, I no longer resist and kiss him but he pushes me away before telling me his painful secret: he has been HIV-positive for a year. Since he had an unprotected heterosexual relationship. In 1991, all we knew about AIDS was that it was a deadly and frightening disease. Anyone who knows Jessy's condition rejects her. Will I do the same or stay close to him at all costs ?

English is not my native language, there may be some mistakes for which I apologize in advance.

This poem delves into the intricate facets of love, painting a vivid emotional landscape. It grapples with the idea of taking a leap of faith in love, a leap that could either lead to an enduring relation or painful abandonment.

The poem explores the complexities and risks inherent in love, highlighting the delicate balance between trust and fear, intimacy and rejection, and the longing for a deep emotional commitment.

It invites readers to reflect on their own experiences and emotions in the realm of love and relationships.

..........

If I tumbled headlong, entwined in your love's hold,

Would you steal away needed fragments of my tortured soul?

Or would you embrace me with arms open wide,

Mending the shattered pieces of distrust hidden inside?

Would your kisses be whispers, sweet and pure...
