The Fallen Leaves Tell A Story Novels & Stories

"Yes. You don't plan on starving again just to avoid us right? Okay Okay we won't put you in an hypothetical situation again. Just come with us." Monroe's begging softened Roy's mood. The gardener's of Amaryllis cleared the campus paths with gusto—occasionally asking students to steer to another side. Of course, for the Director to love trees more than anything, the campus grounds were found covered with aged leaves by the time Autumn passes. "Hey Hey! Isn't that Taylor Shaman?" Monroe pulled Ken excitedly and gestured at a boy not more than one seventy five centimeters tall—unique platinum golden hair and dressed very fashionably.

Because for some reason he believed; She was his responsibility. The old, yellow and brown leaves hustled in the wind, as the sounds of dead, weak trees, creak at every push the wind gave. It's the end of fall and the air is colder than an ice cube, as it climbs through my jacket to the bottom of my spine. Most of the leaves are already gone. And the sight of every living thing coming to an end, depresses me. The crumpling of the brown stiff leaves creates a home to many animals that need a place to hid during this time of empty sorrow.

It felt eternal. The sun dipped low, casting long shadows across the campus. They walked hand in hand, hearts lighter, spirits soaring. Their journey hadn’t been easy, but it had been theirs. Every kiss, every tear, every heartbreak had led to this: a love built on trust, forgiveness, and the courage to begin again. And as they reached the corner where it had all started, Nora whispered, “I never imagined falling could feel like this.” Jaden smiled, brushing a stray curl from her face. “Neither did I,” he admitted. “But now I can’t imagine anything else.”

The Phoenix Tree spoke calmly, "Haha, there’s no need to worry so much, young one. Just focus on fulfilling your purpose." As the tree finished speaking, a few leaves gently trembled and drifted into the void. Adrian’s eyes lit up at the sight, and he eagerly reached out to claim them all. But the Phoenix Tree’s voice returned, warning, "Greed is endless, boy. Do you think you can take all these leaves? Do you believe each is filled with my precious essence?"

‎ ‎A lover who walked away from an argument, telling himself space was kindness. ‎ ‎A healer who let a wound fester, telling herself the body would heal itself. ‎ ‎A child who stopped asking questions, telling herself the world was too big to understand. ‎ ‎The doubt spread. ‎ ‎Not as darkness. ‎ ‎As absence. ‎ ‎The white flowers began to wilt. ‎ ‎Not die. ‎ ‎Wilt. ‎ ‎Petals curling in, as if protecting something too fragile for a world that had stopped caring. ‎ ‎The great oak's leaves began to fall.

The stars did not fall with noise or fire. Instead, they drifted, soft as ash, slow as regret, blanketing the skies above Sanctum for three nights and three days. Each flake glimmered, ephemeral, settling on rooftops, the backs of silent wolves, and the palms of children who dared to reach for them. The city stilled beneath this celestial hush, the air trembling not with fear or awe, but with the sense that an ancient story had finally run out of pages.

I got up again and tried walking, but as soon as I got to my feet, a piercing pain made me groan in agony. “Need any help?” Leo smirked. I shook my head and leaned to the wall for support, standing on my toes, intending to stop them from being inflicted with further damage. I was so emotional earlier that I did not care about the consequences of my actions. I mean, what if it was Dylan that walked into that room? My tactic was working, but my toes ached. As soon as I reached the bottom of the staircase, I collapsed again. I let out a string of curse words, but stopped when I heard Leo chuckle.

His voice trembled, and his face turned pale. "I don't see a future for us," I said. "Let's divorce."

It's been dormant for so long that I don't even know if it matters to do something, talk less of knowing what to do about it. I opened my eyes and found him watching me. “Let me tell you a story. There was once a young sapling, named Willow.” He said. “The young sapling, Willow, swayed mournfully in the wind. Her leaves, once vibrant green, were now tattered and brown. 'Why me?' she cried to the wise old Oak who stood sentinel over the forest. 'Why did the storm break my branches?' “And The Oak said, his roots deep in the earth, rumbled with a gentle laugh. 'Willow, the storm did not break you. It tested you.'
