Elm Pt.1. Content Warning.
Aurelia ran as fast as she could through the thick brush. If she didn’t slow she could get to the edge of the protected region and take her final leap to freedom - as well as her first step towards her revolution. Her ears were ringing in the same way the sun has a buzz about it on the hottest days. It was the elders doing, a weak attempt at emotional distraction. Physically it felt like she was running against the winds of a hurricane and none of it mattered. None of it was real. They couldn’t stop her from what she had her mind set to do, they could only disillusion her but her mind had never been more clear. Even the God’s have free will. She let out a thunderous laugh at the irony of it all.

How Many Waves Reach the Shore in a Day
How Many Waves Reach the Shore in a Day I once wondered how many waves reach the shore in a single day. It wasn’t a scientific question. I wasn’t standing there with a notebook or a stopwatch. I was just watching the sea do what it has always done, arriving and leaving, arriving and leaving, without hesitation or memory. After a while the mind starts to wander, and it landed on that thought. How many times does this happen while we are busy elsewhere.

A Body
Whitevalley was never known for anything special — and even less for anything exciting. It was mostly recognized for one thing: the sheer number of ravens that lived there. Perhaps that’s why its flag bore the image of a black bird.

The Mystic Underground
White Tree scrambled as fast as he could down Stone Street. The fog clung soberly over the late night in Manhattan, disturbed mainly by his thumping footsteps.

The Breaking of a Union
Hephaestus had never been especially lucky with love. So, watching Aphrodite and Ares squirm in the net he’d made to catch them cheating didn’t particularly surprise or anger him. He crossed his arms and stared at them as they blindly groped for a way out. Finally, Aphrodite’s eyes lifted and met his. She scowled at him and lifted her chin defiantly. The irate spark in her gorgeous gray eyes made his heart leap despite himself.

Boons and Curses
Before him lay his doom. Exasperated, Imperator Valatious collapsed into his chair. Beyond the hide walls of his tent, the evening air hung disquietingly still. He ran his weathered hands through a grease-stained mane of brown hair, uncut since the campaign began.

The Year We Waited for the Fireworks
On the last working day before Chinese New Year, Shanghai felt like it was holding its breath. Offices emptied early. Elevators filled with suitcases instead of laptops. Even the air seemed lighter, as if the city itself was preparing to be left behind.
