More gems=more chapters. . TBC

"Make sure you pack an overnight bag, and don't forget your yummies." "You mean your yummies!" Whitney laughed at the silly name Hollis made up for her lingerie. She didn't own much before they got together, but now she had almost an entire drawer full. Tiny articles of "clothing", all lace and frills and sexy bows. In varying colors. Hollis' favorite was the see through light blue baby doll with the provocative slit down the middle, which gave her perfect access to her girlfriend's irresistible belly button piercing.

I would like to use the medium to kindly request that everyone should try dropping gems and votes for OUR book to get more recognition.

Enjoy. QUESTION OF THE DAY: What is your nationality? For me, I am Nigerian 🇳🇬

"A painite, or maybe an Alexandrite. Both are very stable storage for mana." When Aldrich and Aimilios heard it, they both stared at one other and proceeded to their chambers, combing every box they could find until they had gathered all of their diamonds and gems. The majority of them are diamonds or emeralds. They know it's pointless, but they don't have any other options. They don't want to accept it, but they can't help their baby sister. Just like how they can't help Alana when she died. "These are all garbage!" shouted Aldrich as he tossed the jewel against the wall, shattering it.

Cole I scrolled slowly through the tablet screen, gradually feeling frustrated. Page after page, design after design, my eyes scanned through an endless lineup of perfectly cut diamonds, emeralds, sapphires, and rubies. Every file was detailed: high-resolution images, specs, light performance reports, clarity grades… but none of it felt right. Too sparkly. Too ordinary. Too safe. I let out a sigh and leaned back in my chair. Why couldn’t I just get the perfect one?

enjoyable and their wildlife flourishes. The people there match their planet even better than we match ours. They all have deep brown skin and dark green eyes. They like to surround themselves with nature. They like quiet and solitude. They typically have small families and are rather shy when conversing with someone outside of their immediate family. There are five of them competing. The planet Makskin has the harshest environment. The air there is hard to breathe at times and the rain that falls there can burn. But they have built domes that encapsulate their cities, so their people live in an environment that is controlled now. The Makskin people are all different shades of burgundy. The

“The most temperamental stone on the planet.” Jenny gasped. “Wait, the electric-blue one?” “Yes,” I said tightly. “The one that fractures under high heat and changes color if you so much as look at it wrong.” Grace let out a low whistle. “They’re giving us a gemstone that’s basically a ticking bomb.” “Great,” Gideon muttered. “Because what we really needed this year was a metaphor for emotional instability.” I shot him a glare. He winked. Ryan skimmed the letter, then looked up, meeting my eyes.

I opened the book and flipped to the marked pages. “It’s an experiment about how I came to exist,” I said carefully. “The blood of every known creature, harvested, refined, broken down to its purest essence and then recombined. Werewolf. Vampire. Witch. Fae. Human. Things that did not have names anymore. Things that should never have shared the same space, let alone the same body. The combined blood was used to create a gem. Not a stone in the way people imagined, but a condensed core of living energy, self stabilizing, adaptive. A gem designed to resonate with every species at once. A singular point of authority. A thing that could command blood because it understood all blood.

Plus, that guy should be bending you over, not being your enemy,” Ruby teased. Jamila blushed and covered her ears as the girls laughed. “I’m not going to bend over for that arrogant guy with a filthy attitude. He must be dangerous. Have you seen the number of tattoos he has? It’s scary,” Marlene commented.

“Why not? I said you could use any gems you wanted. I thought you’d use more of them. Were you afraid you would waste them? If you weren’t selected?” He looked sincerely upset. “No, Liam. I appreciate your kindness. I just didn’t need all of the gems,” I tried to explain. But he interrupted me. “I understand, but Trista, you didn’t even use the most expensive ones! What if they reject you because they don’t think your design is worth enough money? You’re competing against REALLY high-end jewelry. What if the value of yours isn’t enough?” I chuckled softly. “Don’t worry, Liam. I chose the gems that best suited my design. And I also found some other materials. The value’s enough. I promise.”
