marionette darkstalkers

There was a girl who lied. But that wasn't the important thing. The crucial aspect was that her lies had a strange power—they would somehow become true. She learned this the hard way when one of her falsehoods accidentally led to the death of her friend. The rest of her life became a tale of redemption, as she sought to make amends, find love, and reconnect with estranged friends. Ezra found himself stuck in this exact story, but not as its protagonist. Instead, he was relegated to the role of a side character, unable to control his actions or words within this world. It felt as though some unseen force controlled him like a puppet, even using his own name for the character he portrayed. To his surprise, he discovered he wasn't alone in this predicament. Others from different places and times, including his ex-boyfriend, found themselves similarly ensnared. At first, Ezra merely sought survival and escape from this bewildering situation. But as time passed, he realized there was more to it. As he attempted to navigate past relationships, unravel hidden secrets, and decipher unfamiliar faces, Ezra unearthed a tangled web of connections that exceeded anything he could have imagined. ******************* Ezra: There is nothing between us anymore. His Ex: Yes. There isn't any. Ezra: You should know I hate your guts. His Ex: Likewise. Ezra: Then why do you worry over me so much? His Ex looked into Ezra's eyes, a flicker of vulnerability in his gaze. With a gentle stroke of Ezra's cheek, the touch was as delicate as handling something immensely precious. "You lie. I do not worry about you. Not even for a second." Ezra: 'Yeah right. I can totally see that.' ******************* Disclaimer: Cover illustration belongs to it's rightful owner. P.S Though there is a tragedy tag, it will still be a happy ending. ~Also, I would like everyone to be a little bit patient with my story. It will take three to four chapters for things to really start making sense. Thank you for reading *Muah*

Anton war nicht nur für seine Fähigkeiten bewundert worde, sondern auch für die Leidenschaft, mit der er seine Kunst nachging.

Die Dorfbewohner suchten oft Anton auf, um von ihm wunderschöne Geschenke für ihre Liebsten anfertigen zu lassen oder um einfach nur die Schönheit seiner Werke zu bewundern. Doch während Anton in seinem kleinen Atelier arbeitete, schwoll das Geheimnis um ihn herum an. man munkelte, dass er mit dem Wald verbunden war, als ob er die gelebte Geschichte der Bäume in seinen Händen spüren könnte. Eines stürmischen Herbstabends, als der Wind durch die hohen Wipfel der Bäume heulte und der Regen gegen die Fenster klatschte, machte sich Anton auf, um seiner täglichen Arbeit im Wald nachzugehen. Während er durch die stockdichten Pfade des Waldes wanderte, kam er an einem alten Baum vorbei, der die Spuren der Zeit in Form von mysteriösen Muster auf seiner Rinde trug. Die Relikte von Stürmen und der Natur selbst zeichneten ein Bild.

Everyone listens when the King speaks. No one remembers choosing to. The Marionette King rules without a throne, a face, or an army. Only a voice that slips into the mind and leaves obedience behind. Resistance isn’t punished. It simply doesn’t exist. Lira knows better than to ask questions. In a world built on silence, curiosity is a quiet kind of death. But when a chance encounter pulls her into the shadows of a growing rebellion, she begins to notice the cracks, hesitations in the King’s commands, moments where the world seems to stutter. As the rebels close in on the source of the control, Lira is forced to confront a terrifying truth: freedom may be far more dangerous than obedience. Because some strings, once cut, don’t set you free. They tighten.
