North And South Novels & Stories

And then, we crossed a bridge. Suddenly, the world changed. The dead trees were replaced by lush, genetically modified greenery. The ruins were gone, replaced by a massive, white stone estate that looked like a plantation from a history book. The air here didn't smell like rot; it smelled like roses and expensive ozone. "Welcome to the South," Malphas said, sitting across from me. He was pouring a glass of dark red wine. "The North believes in strength through brutality. I believe in strength through **Refinement**."

He did leave it at the center of the field. “Good!” he smiled. “What just happened?” I demanded, letting go of the staff. “You see, the South are bounded, it's like our wolves are synced, we can tell what is going on with another, just by breathing…only if we focus.” “This is madness,” I eyed. “It makes no sense.” *Well,” he shrugged. “Welcome to the South, where all makes sense.”

He crossed his arms, his grin twisted. “The long wait is over,” he said. “The night is near.” A chill crawled up my spine. Something felt wrong in the air. “I remember this,” he whispered, eyes distant. “The same scenario. When everything went wrong…” “Stop this,” I growled. “The North has been cursed… so has the South, the West, and now—the heart of the continent will belong to me.” He was rambling now, madness laced through his voice. Still, I listened.

between Leo and Lila 💔 The sun hung low in the sky as I unlocked the door to my modest new apartment. It wasn’t much—a small one-bedroom on the outskirts of the city—but it was mine, a blank canvas where I could start fresh.

But with this success came challenges. Managing my workload, navigating my new life, and keeping my relationship with Leo alive across the distance felt like juggling too many things at once.
