Black Heart
Dad, I'd like to talk to you when you have some free time," she addressed her father as he sat in his home library. Jamal raised his head, adjusting his glasses, and welcomed her in. She entered and inquired about his well-being. "I'm doing well," he replied. "Do you want to discuss something?" he prompted. She responded with a yes, and he encouraged her to continue. Zabel began sharing the story of Hydr and how they had met, relaying all the details. Jamal remained silent for a moment, allowing her to finish before he spoke. "Call him this Saturday," he instructed. "I want to meet him and his family." He stood up and left the room. She felt a bit restless that her father hadn't said much, nor asked any questions. She sat there for a while, then called Hydr, relaying her father's message and asking him to be there on time. After ending the call, she joined the family at the dining table, where teasing eyes met her gaze. Ignoring the taunts, she began eating, knowing that this day had been inevitable. Eventually, everyone else left the table, leaving only her mother and sister. Her mother disclosed that her father had informed her of their earlier conversation. She added a condition: if her father didn't approve of the proposal, Zabel would have to forget about it. Zabel's face saddened as she agreed with a quiet "yes." Her mother retired to her room, but her sister remained. She offered reassurance, promising to help Zabel gain their father's approval. She even mentioned that Zabel should tell Hydr that she'd have Ferrero Rocher chocolates. With a laugh, she left the table. The eagerly awaited Saturday arrived in the blink of an eye. The family busied themselves preparing for the occasion. When the doorbell rang, it was Hydr with his parents and younger sister. They were warmly welcomed and offered drinks. Jamal, using his banker's eye, observed him from head to toe, finding him well-mannered. His family, although more modest and conservative than Jamal's, didn't define their worth. The conversation flowed, with Hydr discussing his civil engineering degree and the high-tech project he was working on. Jamal questioned him thoroughly and found him simple yet self-made, developing a sense of liking. As they all sat down to eat, the table was adorned with traditional Turkish dishes that Jamal had specifically requested. Once the meal was done, the favorite Turkish dessert, Kunafa, was served. As the meeting concluded, Hydr's father invited Jamal's family to their house. A handshake sealed the agreement. Back home, family members gathered to discuss the prospective groom. Zabel's sister-in-law voiced concerns about their class, believing Zabel deserved better. Jamal intervened, announcing that they were visiting the following Friday to determine the engagement date. Zabel smiled at her father's approval, while her mother hesitated. Jamal asserted that he found the boy well-mannered and hardworking. On the upcoming Friday, the family set off for Hydr's house. Upon arrival, they were warmly welcomed into the well-organized and decorated home. After a delicious meal prepared by Hydr's mother, they moved to the drawing room. Jamal initiated the conversation, expressing his trust in his daughter's sensible choices. He sought to make the relationship official if they agreed. Hydr's father responded positively, and they decided on an engagement date two weeks later. The exchange of sweets and congratulations followed, sealing the agreement."

Last of the Mastiff Riders, Part 1
The air hung heavy with an undercurrent of tension and whispered conversations, muffled by the sounds of mugs hitting the table and cards shuffling. The dimly lit tavern exuded an air of secrecy and clandestine activity. Shadows clung to every corner, obscuring the faces of those seeking refuge within its walls. The flickering candlelight cast eerie silhouettes, emphasizing the covert nature of the establishment. The scent of stale smoke mingled with the aroma of strong spirits, creating an atmosphere both intoxicating and dangerous. The bar, scarred by countless brawls, bore witness to the tales of outlaws and renegades who sought solace within this haven of lawlessness. The walls, devoid of any decorative embellishments, stood as silent witnesses to the hidden truths and concealed identities that frequented the tavern. Time seemed to stand still within its walls, as fugitives from justice found temporary respite, plotting their next moves and exchanging furtive glances. In this unregulated den of rebels, the rules were forged anew, and alliances were formed in whispers. The dim light served not only to create an atmosphere of seclusion, but also to shield the patrons from prying eyes. This was a place where outlaws sought sanctuary, where they could temporarily shed their wanted status and find some sense of solace amidst a community of like-minded individuals

Memoirs Of The In-Between Chapter 1
Chapter 1 The sorrowful part of my tale started on my ninth birthday. In my family, upon reaching that age, it was time to prove our worth by making our first kill. I had spent those years already training, making my young body strong, my will unyielding, and fine tuning my reflexes so I was more agile than a cat. My mark was not a victim of Suiko, but one of our own. We were also paid mercenaries, so it was not just the Empress who hired us on. We also had a few rivals of our own. I was given a relatively easy task for my first job. It was the eldest son of a rival clan, older than I was by several years. It was simple, and I completed the job in under an hour – something my family had been most impressed with. It went exactly as planned: Infiltrate the grounds, hide in the tree, and shoot the lethal blow dart. My aim was flawless. I remember that it was a night with no moon, and even the stars refused to shine.

Rabbi Henry.
Rabbi Henry. After I had recuperated and started to move on with my life I had decided to work with the Stone and the Bull that visited me, he was my protector and I knew that the Bull was not Evil but forcefully Justified in gaining death to those that were still alive that had committed their ultimate sin, which was to believe that they were above anything that needed to achieve their salvation, that they were invincible and so rich that money would buy them through their lives whatever they did, bad or otherwise, it was mainly bad as they were greedy and selfish and obnoxious to believe that they were answerable to their actions in anything they did. Most had no concept of consciousness that they were damaging themselves but most importantly their ancestors and God had turned his face from them.
