kepulangan shikha

August Hofer, seorang pemuda 21 tahun dari Austria, terbiasa melarikan diri dari kehidupan yang terasa lebih menyesakkan daripada gunung mana pun yang pernah ia daki, Bertahun tahun mengikuti kelas survival bukan karna tertarik terhadap alam, namun untuk melarikan diri dari sesaknya ketidak harmonisan keluarga. Perjalanan pendakian yang seharusnya berlangsung tiga hari di Pegunungan Alpen berubah menjadi sesuatu yang mustahil ketika kabut aneh menelannya. Tidak ada lagi langit. Tidak ada lagi gunung. Tidak ada jalan pulang. Yang tersisa hanyalah lorong lorong tak berujung dengan wallpaper kuning, karpet lembap, dan dengungan lampu neon yang tidak pernah berhenti. Tempat yang seolah berada di luar kenyataan itu memiliki aturan yang tidak pernah diajarkan di kelas survival mana pun. Di tempat ini, orang bisa menghilang tanpa jejak. Suara suara bisa menyesatkan. Dan ada sesuatu yang bergerak di antara lorong lorong kosong itu. Untuk pertama kalinya dalam hidupnya, August berada di situasi tanpa peta, tanpa protokol, dan tanpa jawaban. Karena beberapa tempat tidak ingin ditemukan.

"he hurt you, rooki." "yeah, but he's a keeper." no matter what he did, no matter how much he hurt him, he still loved him. he couldn't let him go, so he kept running back. now he can't get away. unless he did something that he can't take back.

A human boy who has a special role. A witch who decided she'd tagged along. A reapress who helped them on the way. Another witch who followed them one day. A prisoner freed from his chains. Lyte just wanted to unite the Keepers and retrieve the stolen cursed Wind Goddess Statue. He met some poeple along the way to help him in his journey but tragedy struck when one of them stabbed him on the back. He might be prepared to face the challenges ahead, but was he prepared when betrayal smacked him in the face?

The waters that housed the harbinger lay before him. He could make out her form floating in the water. He wouldn't try to reach her, not yet but the time was not long in coming. Soon he would have the power she comands and with it his will would rise and the world it will conquer. A devilish grin slipped onto his face and grew, his laugh rang out bouncing on the walls of the cave and echoing through its halls. Anyone within earshot had already been erased. He looked behind him to the guardian laying dead on the floor. The corpse would be found and the death reported until it reached the keepers' ears. 'Let them come' he thought, he would show them true power. With that he turned and left the cave. * * * * Ripples in the water awaken the harbinger from her thousand year slumber. The strings have been tampered with, a world is dying, fate must be restored. Sinister forces are at play, the peace of the world is threatened. The keepers must once again rise to the call of their harbinger

Looney Meek was born in Boston, Massachusetts during the Salem Witch Trials. After her mom is manipulated and r**** by a man in her town, she and her mother face persecution at the hands of those who were supposed to believe her and her mother. They were tried as witches and burnt at the stake; they punished as liars, mentally ill, and ruining the life of a man due to a time where patriarchy and misogyny led to heinous acts. However, Looney Meek forever lives on, becoming the ruler of The Sheep Keep, where she minds spirits that once lived and never questioned society and just blindly followed what they were told. Because of the sheep in her town, she was burnt alive at seventeen, and her story is still told throughout the centuries. Looney essentially becomes a fairy tale and even makes herself known to people when they sin because of patriarchal, political, social, and religious conforms, because she and her mother were victims of these reforms. She welcomes you, dear reader, to her story, her reborn body, and how she and her birds either drag sheep to her keep, or protect people that are at risk of becoming what she minds. Thank you for listening to her story, and welcome to the keep! (Verb tense changes due to her telling her story in the past and present).

[Hidebound Older Man VS Two-Faced Heiress: Daddy-Type + Seductress + An Old House on Fire] Everyone in Aethelgard says, a man should marry a woman from the West Family. The eldest daughter of the West Family is gentle and virtuous, a sought-after prize in high society. On the eve of her engagement. Her fiancé cheated on her. Willow West, having played the good girl for so long, decides she's done pretending. Fueled by alcohol, she finds a handsome man. Just one wall away from the scumbag ex and his mistress. The next day, she wakes up to her world collapsing. She had slept with the circle's famous 'older man'—Aiden Pierce, her dear uncle's best friend. Her impression of Aiden Pierce wasn't very good. Years ago, when she was having her first romance, she had tried to sneak a kiss with her young boyfriend, only for Aiden Pierce to report her to her uncle before their lips could even meet. The Aiden Pierce of today is even more dull—celibate and restrained, with everyone from his secretary to his assistant being male, and zero romantic scandals to his name. He's nothing short of a hidebound traditionalist! Willow West wants to escape. Aiden Pierce's well-defined hand grips her chin. "Miss West, a man's virtue is still virtue. You must take responsibility for me." * Aiden Pierce, who had practiced self-restraint for thirty years, was captured by Willow West—a woman gentle and demure in public, yet passionate and daring in private. Everyone thought Willow West was a good girl. Only Aiden Pierce knew that behind closed doors, the young woman not only smoked and drank but was also a cool, badass biker. * The assistant has recently noticed a change in the workaholic President Pierce. Not only is he hitting the gym three times a week, but his style has also shifted from uniform high-end suits to a different streetwear brand for every day of the week. His once stern and unsmiling face now frequently breaks into a smile. Even his eternally unchanged screensaver has been replaced. It's now a picture of a sexy, wavy-haired beauty in a black biker suit, holding a cigarette and sitting on a motorcycle!
