Memoirs Of The In-Between: Chapter 4
Upon nearing the entrance to the city, we were greeted by calls from high on the top of the wall. I looked up to see what I assumed were black-garbed guards, waving down at us. Beyond the horizontal line of bubbles was the entrance to the city. A large gate opened outward by two doors, golden with protruding artwork in the shape of a large decorative shield – the same design upon the shield that CiCi held on her forearm. Above the wall, several large strange structures sat near the guards, and I noted some of the guards had long-range weapons such as bows and crossbows. I was staring at the strange arches, and large metal tubes that sat on rotating pivots, wondering what they were, when it seemed Vivian read my mind.

The Alpha's Wayward Mate
After Maverick gave her the grand tour, Scarlett felt like she would drop from exhaustion. He took her to see everything that he could show her. The bed area where they would sleep. The dining room in which they would share meals, all the way down to the outside. He showed her the bathing pool he had set up where they could clean themselves regularly.

Have you ever pondered the concept of lying? Why do people engage in it, and how many potential outcomes can it lead to? Will truth inevitably come to light, or can a lie become permanently woven into the fabric of reality? If so, what exactly is this reality that humanity discusses? After all, humans are the only living beings on Earth that lie and contemplate reality. You'll never witness a cat deceiving another cat. While they might maintain secrets, these secrets don't distort the fabric of reality; they merely conceal some threads. A cat will find a secluded location for its kittens and keep it a secret, but it won't lie to another cat about the secret location. But have you ever wondered why? Think about it; the answer is quite simple and lies directly in front of you. Have you figured it out yet? Cats and other animals lack our communication skills. Lies simply exist because we communicate better; they're merely a byproduct of our 'communication'.

Memoirs Of The In-Between Chapter 3
I looked at Alice, Malakaii, and the people around me before I fell hard to the ground. The entirety of my body hurt and that thing, I realized must have been one of those tainted souls that Malakaii had explained to me briefly before. I was angry at the fact that I had just killed a person. Still, that spirit had been going after Alice; it was either us or it. Even I can’t deny that I’d rather kill than be killed again. I looked at Alice now, who ran towards me. She was laughing with tears of relief in her eyes, and the flowers in her arms whipping up and down as she ran at me, kissing her cheeks with each step. She fell on her knees in front of me and threw her face into my chest. I quickly put the blade down, ignoring the twang of pain that separation from Estrakulius caused and the physical agony that the pressure Alice put on me created. I wrapped my arms around the little girl and felt like a fussy grandmother as I lifted her up and began to inspect her for wounds.

Tides of Survival: A Journey Through the Storm
I was on a beach in the United States, alone, even though there had been warnings about dangerous weather. I didn’t worry about it much. The air was warm, and the sound of the ocean usually made me feel peaceful, but something felt different this time. There was a sense of unease in the air, as if the wind carried a warning. Suddenly, I noticed a change in the horizon. The sky turned dark quickly, and far out in the ocean, I could see huge whirlpools forming. Hurricanes started appearing like shadows on the water, and before I knew it, the waves were growing fast and getting bigger.
