In 2037 after an AI program designed to correct ecological balance goes rogue and throws humanity back to the stone age, the world turns cold, frozen in a centuries long ice age. Thirteen year old Inez has only her older brother Ender, her friends Emilee, Gage and Michi and the stories told by the settlement elders around communal fires about the World Before. They called this dark age The Static.By the year 2737 no one remembered what caused it, but they knew what it had done. The sun stopped being warm and the snow began to fall and never stopped. Forcing humanity into an archaic way of life not seen since the first ice age. But the cold did not only freeze water and flesh. It froze time. It froze memory. And worst of all, it froze distance itself.And inside that forever distance, on the edge of the horizon, a sinister place far to the north known only as The Temple sits in silent repose against the gray skies, any words for what it might have been slipped away long ago-it seemed to stretch reality like taffy pulled too thin.Those who tried to reach it, walked into the white and never returned.In a world where distance had become treacherous, as hope entered its darkest hour, the last child to be born in Acadia for a decade, began to dream. As small and fragile as a bird with hollow bones, Nēoa is cherished and protected as the last child the settlement may ever have. Are her dreams, whispering songs only she can hear, a possible answer to the Static? To find out--Inez; with Ender, Emilee, Michi and Gage are the only ones strong enough, young enough, and desperate enough to try the impossible. Escort the most protected girl in their world across the endless ice, across a landscape where distance cannot be trusted to a place no one has ever reached, guided only by dreams no one else understands. And the longer the temple stays out of their reach, the harder it is to remember why they left home at all.…

🎏 Author Comment: This tale has been designed and written for younger readers but it can be enjoyed by all.─ᛰ─In the elder days before mortal kings etched their borders into stone, before time was measured by crowns and conquests, when Elven Folk shared the world with mortals under treaties older than memory, there came upon our people an age of quiet sundering.It was a time when the Elven folk still walked the high places, after the Dragons that passed like storms along the horizons, and when Elven Folk shared the world with mortals under treaties older than memory.Yet even then, doubt found root. In those days there arose among mortals a whispering hunger, seeded by those who wore borrowed faces. The Changeling Wizards, who fed fear as if it were wisdom. Convincing mortal kings, the magic of the elves no longer served them. What had once been shared truth became superstition. What had once been kinship became a war of wills. From that hour, the old goodwill ended. Thus the space between our peoples widened, until the old paths closed and we were pressed back into the frost-bitten heights of our ancestral lands.And what would happen next would leave the old world in the silent throes of an uneasy realization that all was not as it seemed...A time when love and acceptance became fear and those fears bred greed. Greed bred forgetting. And forgetting became blame. But in that age arose two souls. One born of mortal blood, one of mortal grace. Who chose to stand where others turned away.Alvaro, and Daniela of the western shores, whose names the stone itself remembers.─ᛰ─Originally written for ONC26 Prompt 78:You begin to realize that things are not as they seem.…

In a dark Benedictine Abbey, high in the cold mountains of Helvetia, where stone and earth remember older laws than kings, a legendary weapon rests in silence.It lies within the Kloster Einsiedeln, a mountain abbey sworn to the Cantors of the region of Oath Fellowship, its fresco painted walls with tales of a history that is much different than the truth it conceals. For generations, the weapon has slept beneath legend, its purpose misremembered, its history softened into a heroic myth.But weapons do not forget.When the lies that bound it begins to unravel, and the abbey's sealed records stir, old borders awaken. Wolves who once feared only the glint of steel begin to fear something else as the weapon reveals what it was never meant to be. Not an instrument of slaughter, but a measure of law. What rises in its wake is neither hunter nor monster, but something the world has not known for centuries. The Wardens of the Limes.Some weapons are forged to kill.Others are forged to decide.This weapon requires HEIRS. And Miteinander; working together.

The Blood Legends Mafia Series | Book 2 "You think I'm just a bargaining chip? Some pretty Greek girl to parade at your arm while you fuck your lover in secret apartments? I am not your decoration, Nikandr Zaitsev. And I am not your prisoner."She reached out slowly, deliberately ran her finger along his taut jawline. "You want this alliance?" she whispered. "Then treat me like an equal. Or I will burn everything you've built. Starting with your secrets."Nikandr caught her wrist. Not hard. Just enough to hold her still. His voice was low, almost intimate. "You think I want this marriage any more than you do?"Irenya searched his eyes for weakness, for the lie.She found only the same heat she felt in her bones. "Then why do it?" she asked, sly and careful."Because the alternative is worse." He released her wrist but didn't step back. "Solntsevskaya doesn't ask twice. And neither does my father's ghost."Irenya tilted her head. "So we're both caged.""For now," he answered evenly.Then she smiled. Slow, dangerous, beautiful."Good," she said. "Because I'm very good at breaking cages."Nikandr exhaled a sound that might have been a laugh, might have been a surrender. He stepped back, opened the door, and gestured for her to follow."Come," he said. "We have a wedding to pretend at. And after that... we'll see who breaks first."Irenya walked past him head high, hips swaying with deliberate challenge. As she passed, her fingers brushed his- once, fleeting, electric.The door closed behind them.Neither looked back.But both knew: the game had only just begun.Ⓜ️…
