Stronger this time. Everyone turned toward the horizon. Far away. Beyond mountains. Beyond forests. A faint line of silver light appeared in the sky again. But this time it was not rising. It was spreading. Like something opening its eyes across the world. The First Silence was waking. And this time it knew exactly where Nova was.

Every great love deserves to be remembered, every single day. Tears filled her eyes. Without speaking, she picked up a pen and wrote beneath his words. Chapter One: Today, we laughed over terrible pancakes. Daniel smiled. “That’s how you want our story to begin?” She closed the journal and looked into his eyes. “No.” She kissed him softly. “It began the day two strangers met between shelves of books and unknowingly found their way home.” Outside, the rain continued to fall.

But the second I did, it breathed. The book didn’t open. It unfolded. The cover split open in silence, pages spilling like silk, the air humming as the magic within adjusted to me. Not the other way around. I froze. There was no resistance. No permission asked. Just acceptance. Like the book had been waiting. The ink inside shifted before my eyes, words scrawling themselves across the first page in ink that shimmered between black and violet: To the One Who Was Hidden. To the One the Stars Remember.

And from the creature’s mouth A new line began to write itself: And so the child was never born…

“Then we find the book that started it all…the first page…and we tear it apart.” The screams of the books grew louder as blood poured from their pages, flooding the library red. Amidst the chaos of whispers, a deep sound rose clearer than the others—the sound of a giant book opening. The shelves split apart, revealing a massive volume at the far end of the aisle that towered over Vincent and bled rivers from its spine. On its open page, words glimmered in fiery gold across the blood-soaked paper, in letters so large they filled the whole sheet but written in one sentence:

Lin said, his voice cold. ​“Then the East will drown with the rest of us,” I replied, standing up and pulling Winnie to her feet. “Because the tide is rising, Speaker. And it does not care about your Emperor’s pride.” ​Outside the forge, the first snow of the new world began to fall. But it was not white. It was purple, and as it hit the ground, it didn’t melt. It began to sing.

He wrote the first line of a new chapter. "Once, there was a man who was a beast, and a woman who was a ghost. They lived in a city of gold that turned to dust, but they found a truth that the fire couldn't touch." Behind him, a woman with tangled hair and a diamond-encased wooden ring walked out of the morning mist. She didn't have a suit, and she didn't have a name. She looked at the man writing on the wreckage and felt a strange, impossible sense of gravity.

He managed to spread my legs by shoving his one leg in between of my thighs. “This will be the good breakfast I want to be served.” These words knocked me out of my delirious mind. Jeoff cupped my breast and I open my eyes wide while he is giving me a few bites in my neck. What I am doing?! What we are doing?! Did I start the engine already?! @DEATH WISH Thank you for supporting my Novel! You may also read my complete Novel, (hmmm... while waiting for an update) Title: TAMING THE DANGEROUS CEO

She opened the first page, trying to immerse herself in a story that might help her forget her nightmares, even if only for a while. "Love can come in the most unexpected places," read the opening line of the novel. Jasmine gave a wry smile. For her, love had always been something complicated and full of conflict. She read slowly, allowing herself to be carried away by the beautifully written story. The words on those pages began to divert her attention from the anxiety she felt. The story of a young woman finding love in a small village in Italy started to seep into her mind. Although it wasn't her favorite type of reading, there was something soothing in the way the story unfolded.

I felt sorry for their parents. While waiting for Carlo’s return, I also resume my writing to kill the waiting hours. The ending of my novel was only a few pages close. I just couldn’t decide how to slay it. I notice that the ending playing on my thoughts is too cliche. This is not right. It must be unique. I could cliffhang my readers or just give them an open ending, which could lead to a sequel in case it clicks to the majority. Sunlight was already peeking through the window. I stretched out my arms. I got up from my seat and opened the panes to let the wind in.
