Winged: Chapter 1
PORCIA Leonidas Viotti felt the hairs on his legs dance appreciatively to the rhythm given by the wind now hitting his legs. The cliff he currently occupied was no place for him to be sitting on, especially with the storm currently brewing. The darkness slowly crept in, and he was not in the least bit scared. All he wanted to do was escape from what was behind him, the constant deathly toll of the bells that reminded him of the anniversary of his brother. He stared down at the rocks down below him, the waves had gotten angrier as they responded to the change in weather, without giving it a second thought, he threw himself off the cliff heading head first down towards his demise, shutting his eyes in anticipation for what was about to wreck his body into a black hole of pain, that would be if he didn't die immediately upon impact, but in the last moments just before what could have been the culmination of what he'd started, he spread out his wings gliding across the water silently.

The Shattered Oath Part 4
The chamber erupted into chaos. Vaelin barely had time to react as the Vowbound warrior in obsidian armor lunged at him, the crackling energy in his gauntlet warping the air around it. Vaelin twisted aside, his sword flashing in a desperate parry. The impact sent a shockwave through his arm, the force unnatural—tainted by Veil magic.

Walk
A Walk in the Rain It started as a regular afternoon. I had been sitting inside all day, distracted by tasks and screens, barely noticing the sky outside. At some point, I looked up and saw raindrops sliding slowly down the window. The clouds were gray, but not angry. The rain looked gentle, steady—like it wasn’t in a hurry to stop. I felt a strange pull to step outside, to just… walk.

Coconut.
Eli first saw her again at a house party in Heaton, five years after their last conversation. The room pulsed with bass and cigarette smoke. Laughter spilled out in pockets. And there she was—Amina Diallo. By the window. Wrapped in string lights and memory. She hadn’t changed much. Braids down her back. That sharp, unreadable gaze. A half-smile that seemed to slice right through him.

Harper's Hill, Chapter 22: No More Secrets
Getting out of the parked moving truck, Julian looked up at the new house. Him and Isaac had finally found a new home to move into with their daughter Camille, and though Julian was excited, he also felt intimidated. This house was so much bigger, so much newer and more polished compared to their old house, which Julian and Isaac had been living in for almost 20 years. It was time for an upgrade.

The Conduit: Chapter 6
Chapter 6 ‘Buzz, Buzz, Buzz, Buzz, Buzz….’ The alarm in Max’s bedroom sounded. Max woke up, in a stunned state of cold sweat, screaming out as he jumped from his bed. He shook himself as he looked around, expecting to see the mysterious woman he’d been with. His right hand tightly gripped something large and weighted. The muscles in his hand were so shocked, they cramped around the pages of the book, his fingers lodged between pages 275 and 276.

The Shattered Oath Part 3
The path through the Wraithwood twisted through ancient ruins, remnants of a forgotten age swallowed by time. Vaelin kept a firm grip on his sword as they followed Nyara and the Oathsworn deeper into the heart of the forest. The deeper they went, the more the air crackled with Veil energy—Elira could feel it pressing against her skin like a whisper of something long-buried waking from slumber.
