Heart's tale

A long time ago, there was a planet on the surface of which a real living Heart was beating. Each of its beat gave life to many wonderful creatures, and humans were no exception. Once, during a mountain collapse, they became afraid that something might happen to the Heart, and built a fence around it. And they started arguing about who is the worthiest defender of the Heart. The fence turned into a wall, and the city rose very quickly around it. Everything that people came up with was immediately brought to life by the love of the Heart. So, they created dolls to help themselves, which significantly accelerated the construction. In the time that was freed up, people took up the war. One day they closed the Heart completely, erecting a dome over it. Miracles stopped happening, and the dolls stopped coming to life. People blamed magical creatures for this and began hunting them. And in order not to stop the construction, they began to chip off pieces of the Heart and insert them into their mechanisms. The city continued to grow. Centuries have passed. The city has propped up the sky with towers. Only fragments of the Heart remained, saturating the black smoke with its breath. Factories that produce nightmarish monsters fed on it. With their help, people continue to wage war with each other for the title of the worthiest defender of the Heart. While it is dying. This is where our story begins...

This is a translation in process. So I am open for suggestions and comments on what to improve in the flow of the text.

Because You stole my Heart

You stole from me.... You stole everything from me....

You stole my heart....

That's right you stole my heart. It was a Sunday in Vermont. I was alone in my Nana's cafe when you tapped me on the shoulder.  It was a cold day, and I was barely 17.

"Can I sit here?" is what you asked me.

My legs were on the little round table. Looking at you twitterpated, while looking at your soft brown hair and your white t-shirt and blue eyes.

"Oh- Oh Im sorry. Let me move out of your way." I said back to you that day.

"I'm sorry to bother you again but, may I have your number? I can't help but notice how pretty you are." You gazed  into my eye as I thought to my self how sweet and attractive you are.

A month later we started our relationship. It was the best days of my life, until that unfaithful day of May 16th. I remember it like it was yesterday, how could I not.

You stole my money....

I got my first job. I remember you asking me to help pay your car note because you got fired from your own, and like the love struck teenager I was, I paid it for you.  Little did I know I was getting paid, and pushed around.

6 years later, we got married. You got distant. I got depressed, started a second job because I could barely pay rent for us.

One day I checked my account balance, $139, that's what I had. It was all I had.

You took my money and spent it on silly things like shoes and a new car. We needed that money.

You stole my trust...

All this grief, and ALL this stress, you did something I didn't think I a million years you would do. I noticed your weird timing coming home from places I don't know where. Why Jason? Why did you cheat on me. I was nothing but loyal.

You stole my Life...

It's been a year now. I'm still thinking about you, when I sleep, when I eat, when I breathe, you come to mind. I've got a new job now. It's pretty nice. I get paid well and I'm holding my own.  I can't move on. You're always here, not REALLY here, but in my heart and in my mind.

I have a new boyfriend. Hes nice, but he's not you. He doesn't know I still think about you all the time. Im hurt all because...

You stole my heart.

Variant's Fire, Book One

Book Description:

Come Home, to where the Darkest Burning Pyre resides.

Come Home, to where the Pyre’s blaze guts the Abusers.

Come Home, to where the Pyre incinerates what remains.

Come Home, to where you belong.

The year is 2035. It has been roughly two years since the Advent Virus infected every human on Earth. Most are asymptomatic carriers—they display no symptoms and are unhurt by the virus. Variants, on the other hand, are genetically enhanced by the virus and given almost supernatural abilities, previously considered to be only possible in comic books or cartoons. Meanwhile, a large minority of the world's population is ruthlessly killed by the virus, falling into comas and passing away.

Alex Westsmith was abused as a child, alongside his younger brother, and his mother, at the hands of his father. The legal system failed Alex and his family, over and over, again and again. So, the teenager, armed with his Variant abilities, does what he must, scouring the city by night, hunting and killing those who abuse others. As the vigilante Pyre, alongside his best friend and computer hacker, Richard Caperno—who operates under the alias Reforger—Alex fights for those who would otherwise fall through the cracks of society.

But when a ruthless new faction of radicals and terrorists abducts one of their classmates, will the Variant vigilante and his hacker ally be able to save her? Or will he have to helplessly watch abuse go unpunished yet again?

The Divine Violence

“We are the divine violence.”

In the fantasy kingdom of Eldom, terror has struck. The royal family has been the target of a series of attempted and successful assassinations. Crown Prince Amir has been killed in cold blood by the group known as ECL; Eldom’s Common Liberators. Now, the children of the crown have come back to fight for their lives. As warriors. Royal Warriors. 5 of them, all still shaken from the death of their elder brother. For the ECL assassins, the death of the Crown Prince was a celebrated success. Now, they must take on the Royal Warriors to finally free their kingdom from the hands of the current royal family, the Eriksons.

The Powers. Otherwise known as the highborns are the people born with special abilities. The Powers are staples of the upper class, born into luxury and prestige. If a Power was born among the lesserborns, they’d be taken, and promptly raised and trained by the upper class, never to return to their old lives or families. The Crown believe they can find all of the Lesser Powers, but some slip right through their fingers.

<Main Characters>

“Haven’t you taken enough from me?”

Aliyah Erickson, the new heir to the throne of Eldom, is an 18-year-old prodigy. She has the smarts of a scholar and the strength of a knight. Aliyah was the closest to her elder brother, and the one most devastated from his loss. She always thought she would be her brother’s guard, his knight, his protector. Now, Aliyah has to practically become her brother, and deal with assassination attempts on her and her family.

“Prepare to burn down with me.”

Dominique Blair, the head of the ECL, is a 19-year-old on the path of revenge and liberty. She always gets what she wants and she is quite the prosperous manipulator. Dominique is a protective, but deadly person, who holds those she cares about close to her. If anyone even thought about hurting someone she cares about, they’d be dead in minutes.
