One Year Adventure Novels & Stories

I finally fall asleep, feeling deeply disgruntled, but what else is new? As evening falls once more, we set off toward the mountains, toward Caelan’s so-called base camp. We’re supposed to be heading for some rebel sanctuary, a safe haven, but the irony doesn’t escape me. I grew up in this kingdom. I know the mountains, and I know where the Bright Waters are supposed to be, somewhere deep within those craggy peaks, hidden from anyone who doesn’t know what they’re looking for. And now here we are, heading right toward them, and no one seems to realize it but me.

Sienna straightened, one hand going to her forehead to brush back her hair. That’s when Eden saw it. The scar. It ran along her hairline, pale and thin but unmistakable once you noticed it. Sienna’s bangs usually covered it completely, but the fall had shifted her hair aside, revealing the mark she’d carried for four years. Eden felt his chest tighten. The accident. He’d been driving too fast on a mountain road outside Buenos Aires where he’d been working on a merger. Sienna had been in the passenger seat, laughing at something he’d said.

I ran straight to my car and drove without thinking about where I was going. My head felt like it would explode. After a few minutes, I pulled over somewhere quiet and broke down. I was seventeen when I lost my parents in a plane crash. Somehow, I survived that pain. I kept going. At nineteen, I became New York’s best-selling author.

Their next adventure took them to a high-ropes course nestled among the trees. Lyana's initial apprehension melted away as she watched Ayana and Adam tackle the course with confidence and grace. Encouraged by their example, she eagerly strapped on her harness and joined them, her heart pounding with excitement as she navigated the challenging obstacles suspended high above the forest floor.

Their sweet love story continues until they graduate from high school. After graduating, Sena went abroad with her mother, so she no longer witnessed their love story. She only knew about it from Dira's mouth, every time she called Sena. Then surprisingly, several years ago, Dira stopped calling Sena for a long time. She didn't even answer Sena's calls or messages. Even though Sena still remembers, the night before that, Dira gave the happy news that Adlet proposed to her.
