    This poem is a mirror to the soul, a confession of light and shadow intertwined. It speaks of a being who moves between worlds, who carries patience in their bones and darkness in their gaze. Every line is a warning, every word a revelation of power that is both divine and devastating. They wrote about creatures like this, in hushed tones, in ancient texts, in stories meant to frighten or inspire-but I am living proof, walking in real time. I am the one who heals and the one who destroys, who brings light to those who seek it and terror to those who underestimate it. This is a poem about truth, raw power, and the weight of existing in a world unprepared for a being who does not choose sides, yet both sides bow. Read it, feel it, remember it.A dark, mystical poem about a person who embodies both light and shadow, walking between worlds with patience and power. The imagery conveys duality, spiritual depth, and raw truth.

    Isn't it a paradox? How we sing praises of the moon's serene beauty but seldom honor the Sun, whose relentless fire keeps the moon alight. The Sun, selfless and untiring, burns in silence, giving without expectation, its brilliance too overwhelming for us to gaze at directly. We immortalize the moon in poetry and art, charmed by its cool glow, yet the Sun-steady, fierce, and unyielding-is taken for granted, its constancy mistaken for indifference. Perhaps it's easier to love what doesn't overwhelm us, what feels unattainable and distant. The moon invites us with mystery, while the Sun stands too close, too present, its warmth too familiar to cherish. Yet isn't that the ultimate sacrifice? To be so steadfast, so vital, that you become invisible in your giving. It's a quiet reminder: sometimes, the greatest acts of love are the ones we forget to see.

    14-year-old Wesley Adams is your normal recently-graduated eighth grader. He likes taking walks around town, hanging out with his twin Morgan, cheerleading and acrobatics, and helping anyone he sees in trouble. His most recent neighborhood rescue turns Wesley and his family's lives upside-down with her otherworldly enemies and lack of "mortal" knowledge. Still, Wesley won't let his newfound friend, or her enemies, ruin his summer vacation. - ⚠️ WARNING ⚠️ There are details of injury throughout this story which not everyone may be comfortable with. Reader discretion is advised. - I want to make it clear that the sibling relationships may seem unrealistic. However, my younger sibling and I actually get along! They're my favorite person! So I'm trying to emulate that energy throughout the story. I'm posting the WIP here as I update it. Not polished, and I don't have a beta reader. If you have any suggestions, please let me know! This may be a "side project", but I truly hope to get it published someday, so any feedback helps! New chapter drops each Wednesday!

    --- Taming the Shadow Prince: Dance of Light and Shadow (description) Born under a sky that whispered of destiny, Lumina Seraphina El Seravelle and Karajan Althair von Umbrenox grew up side by side-childhood companions who teased each other mercilessly yet would never hesitate to stand together when it counted. A prophecy carved in starlight long before they could walk foretold a soulbound marriage-a covenant ceremony so rare even immortals rarely speak its name. But this union is only the first step in a journey that will test their loyalty, their hearts, and the very meaning of freedom. A distant place awaits them: a second home where friendships are earned in quiet trials, secrets unfold in shared silences, and power is measured not by birthright but by choice. And one day, far from divine spires, they will descend into a world where immortals learn what it truly means to bleed, break, and begin again. Through whispered prophecies, stolen glances, and yes-an occasional slipper duel-this is a tale of light and shadow bound by choice, not fate. > (Don't be fooled by the playful sparks: the stars were serious.)

    The Cycle, the ancient balance of life, death, and creation, is broken. Strange phenomena plague the world-rivers flow backward, shadows cross the land unbidden, and the veil between the living and the dead grows perilously thin. At the heart of this unraveling are two fractured souls bound by a shared destiny. Zaira, a sharp-witted college student with a passion for strategy and mythology, has always felt out of step with the world. Haunted by vivid dreams of rivers and golden light, she discovers an unsettling connection to Saeryn, the Flowing Spark-a forgotten goddess whose essence lingers in fragments scattered across creation. Cathal, the brooding and enigmatic librarian, hides a far greater secret. Stripped of his former glory as Saeridan, Keeper of Thresholds, he has spent centuries in self-imposed exile, avoiding the ruins of a past where his choices sundered the balance of the Cycle and shattered his partner, Saeryn. When their paths cross, Zaira and Cathal are thrust into a conflict that threatens both the mortal and divine realms. As Zaira's dormant powers awaken and Cathal's buried memories resurface, they must navigate an ancient rivalry, the echoes of a cosmic betrayal, and a growing connection that transcends lifetimes. But restoring the Cycle will demand sacrifice. With ancient forces vying to exploit the chaos and Saeryn's fragmented essence tied to Zaira's identity, the cost of saving the world may be more than either of them is willing to pay. In a tale of fractured divinity and rekindled light, Zaira and Cathal must confront their pasts, embrace their roles, and decide whether the bonds of love and destiny are strong enough to repair a broken world.

    In the year 3125, humanity lives in interplanetary colonies after Earth was completely destroyed. On a distant planet called Kyra-7, humans discover the existence of mysterious beings known as the Noir-transparent creatures that live within light, only visible in shadow, and sensitive solely to emotional vibrations. Naera, a young human scientist, is sent to study these beings. There, she meets Ciron, a Noir who is unlike the others: he can take on a semi-human form only when near her, due to a rare energetic bond called emotional resonance. A deep love blossoms between them, but his planet's laws forbid lasting contact with humans, as their presence weakens the Noir's energy and could lead to their extinction. Meanwhile, humans see the Noir as nothing more than a "living energy source" and plan to exploit them.

    The sky is dying. The final melody trembles between silence and rebirth. After the fall of the Abyssal Sky, Hanabi Yuya and Daichi Azuzuya wander a collapsing world where the laws of light and sound are unraveling. The once-living symphony that bound all realms together is fading - its last notes scattered across the ruins of heaven and the hollow earth below. Haunted by visions of children lost in the void, Hanabi realizes that Melodias, her living sword, is beginning to dissolve - its essence merging with her soul. Daichi, now half-light and half-shadow, senses his own existence slipping toward the same end. Together, they must journey to the Eternal Sky, the birthplace of creation's first song, and face the being known as the Silent Conductor - a godlike remnant who seeks to erase the music of all worlds. But the true requiem isn't destruction. It's remembrance - of the beauty, the pain, and the echoes left behind. As Hanabi's final melody rises, the stars themselves begin to sing... and the world learns that endings are just another form of harmony. A story of love that transcends creation, of silence turned to song, and of souls who refuse to vanish quietly.
