Orthavos: The Stone Awakening
Orthavos: The Stone Awakening "The river ran backwards on the day the Queen vanished," A soft melodious voice spoke quietly, as the sound of footsteps and water dripping echoed around the darkness in which the group was walking. The sting of ocean salt had stung their eyes as they went deeper into the cavern that they had taken a small boat to, off the coastal cliffs to the kingdom of Arataur.

Stand Against Injustice and Remain Just: A Call for Humanity
Stand Against Injustice and Remain Just: A Call for Humanity In a world filled with complexities and inequalities, standing up against injustice is one of the most powerful actions we can take. The notion of “do not tolerate injustice and do not do injustice to anyone” is a moral directive that challenges us to lead lives rooted in fairness, compassion, and responsibility. When we stand against unfairness, not only do we protect others, but we also preserve our own integrity. This article explores why opposing injustice is crucial, how it shapes our society, and how small, compassionate acts of justice create ripples that inspire and transform lives.

Sober house roommates wanted me gone. Content Warning.
The other two tenants were a bit older than me, and we didn’t really have much in common. My roommates, as I was advised to call them after moving in, were cigarette smokers, older and more street worn than me. And that's about all I knew about them. Because that's all I saw them do. Smoking cigarettes nonstop on the deck right outside my window, sharing stores of their glory days on the wrong side of the tracks.

The Final Match. AI-Generated.
Chapter 1: The Call to Arms As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting an orange glow over the city, Alex sat in his dimly lit room, the familiar sound of a controller clicking in his hands. The flickering light from the screen illuminated his face, revealing a mixture of determination and anxiety. This wasn’t just any game; this was the final match of the UK Gaming Championships, and after months of relentless practice, it was finally within reach.

Title: A Symphony of Rain
**Title: A Symphony of Rain** ### 1. **The First Drop** It was the silence before the storm that caught Anna's attention. The air, thick with the weight of something impending, seemed to hold its breath. She stood by her window, staring out at the pale, overcast sky that stretched endlessly above the small town. All day, the clouds had gathered, slowly knitting together in a heavy, grey mass.

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.

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.

Seeing Through Elena's Eyes: A Journey of Empathy and Understanding Through Queer Representation
In the vast sea of media I’ve consumed throughout my life, one particular moment stands out as a turning point in my understanding of queer representation and the broader LGBTQ+ experience. This moment didn’t occur during a grand cinematic spectacle or in a pivotal novel. Instead, it came from a simple, yet profoundly moving episode of a TV show that I initially tuned into for its humor and lightheartedness, not expecting it to challenge and reshape my views so fundamentally.

Today
Today Amazing, word-backed by the past and ready to be the future. This word became a treasure for me. I lived this word, not over an entire day but in some moments throughout the day. I got why I was lacking and what I was lacking. It would not be expressed in words, but it would be in my actions. Because I lived this term without fear of tomorrow, not even considering the past.
