In the delicate embrace of decay, where beauty and sorrow intertwine, Dark Grace: The Art of Sorrowunveils the haunting elegance found in the eerie, the tragic, and the forgotten. Through verses steeped in melancholy and allure, INKELLE explores the fragile splendor of ruin—the silent waltz of ghosts, the poetry of fractured things, and the romance of shadows that refuse to fade.
This collection is an ode to the macabre’s quiet grace, where love lingers past the grave, memories whisper through the cracks of time, and even sorrow holds a kind of radiance. Each poem is a brushstroke on a canvas of twilight, painting a world where darkness is not feared but revered.
Step into the realm where tragedy and beauty are one.

When life is hell, heaven's just around the corner. Chlyce Esastella is just an average everyday girl cursed with a below average life--OR IS SHE?

"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.
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!
