Raya and the Last Lie
The dragon never left. It changed shape.
After the dragons vanished, one remained — hidden inside a child born under the falling rain. As Raya grew old, she realized her people’s peace wasn’t real; it was built on the dragon’s sacrifice.
When she died, the rivers turned to glass. On their surface appeared the reflection of a woman and a dragon, merging — smiling.
Every year since, the storms return, whispering, “Unity was never real — only love was.”

How Can Hobbies Make Life Better
As we live our lives and do hobbies throughout it, what comes of life through the hobbies that we do? Have you ever thought about that? Do we ever ask ourselves how hobbies can make our life better by doing them? I ask myself this question all the time. The reason for this is because hobbies are what gives life variety as we all know, and it also gives life some spice in the form of something fun. The more we put hobbies into life the more our lives get better. Life is meant to have hobbies in it, this is because the more we put into our lives in a form of relaxing the better our lives are. Doing the things that bring us joy in the form of hobbies is what makes life better. This can include any hobby that you enjoy and the most that you get out of the hobbies that you do. Doing the hobbies that you enjoy make your life better because you give the hobbies you do the most you can.
