Prequel to Thick Smoke

Ophelia Molley born Gaunt had more secrets than any other witch her age and none were about boys or cheating on a test. Ophelia's secrets ran so deep that she found herself involved in one of the worst times of the wizarding world.

During a nice and warm day of May, sudden attacks happen all around Europe under the name Anonymous.

Based on the quote "Ideas cannot be destroyed even if idealists are,"Anonymous threatens Europe, saying that they will transform the continent into a replica of Botticelli's Mappa del Inferno.

With numerous people dying for a cause they may not even be aware of, with politicians blaming each other and a group of people who cause chaos for a so called righteous belief, a group of people are chosen to combat Anonymous.

A detective with angry management issues, an Art teacher who's relying on drugs to relax his brain and a Psychologist who might be the reason behind Anonymous; these three are the only ones who have a chance at figuring the situation out and stopping Anonymous from causing more damage in Europe.

As a nymph, Fei was never supposed to live for as long as a deity. But she made a deal with Ares, the greek God of war so that she could be free to live for a very long time and roam the explored and unexplored lands. In exchange she had to ensure that people will continue to pray to Ares which also meant she had to encourage people to go to war.

As time passed, people have lost their belief in the ancient gods and Ares slowly faded away, as did most deities. Fei was free to do whatever she wanted but she kept her word and worked as a scholar who would gather information during times of war.

Unfortunately, because of certain circumstances she was punished by the eastern gods to live in seclusion in the mountains and never be able to lie to a human ever again.

Now,in the 21st century, Fei resides in the city and has an antique library that also works as a gateway towards the Underworld. She is still punished and still has to work for the remaining eastern deities as gate keeper (she literally keeps the account of who enters and leaves the Afterlife.)

But faces from the past come back to haunt her, especially one that disappointed her and brought the punishment onto her.

Zoe Lestrade is ready to move forward and explore her humanity while forgetting all the pain and sorrow she has experienced in the past.

Long before Bilbo Baggins left for his adventure, long before the One Ring was found in the depth of the Misty Mountains and before the second war erupted against Sauron, there was a story about an elleth who was punished by the Valar in a cruel way: no matter how grave the wound or how terribly lonely she was, she could never die.

Vampires used to rule the world from the shadows. They were powerful enough to manipulate countries from within their parliaments or ministries and humans were terrified of them. One of the original vampires had a daughter, a young girl born with a Celtic symbol on her back, the symbol of immortality. It was supposed to make her the leader of the vampires from all over the world but there was a problem: she couldn't kill humans or drink their blood. How could she be the leader when it was physically impossible for her to be a true vampire?

Generally, everything I've been dreaming over the years.

One day can lead to a series of events that can surprise or sadden people. One day is all that it takes to change one's life. 

The war between sides in Hell begins.In one corner is Lucifer, the Loved One, the first angel to have fallen from Heaven. He is driven by vengeance and pride. He think he has it all planned out. He has been waiting for far too long to destroy God's creation.Lucifer plans to fight the other demons in Hell just to get his desire to come true. Beelzebub is known as the second most important figure in Hell. He is the commander of the biggest and most powerful Legion of Demons. Besides, he has bigger plans than Lucifer. He doesn't want to destroy anything for now. Beelzebub is a smart demon and he is backed up by Belphegor, Mammon and Leviathan. Satan and Asmodeus are demons ready to go with the flow. They might change sides as the war unfolds.How will Zoe and Jasper blend in this show off? Most importantly, who are they going to fight for?

Between us and heaven or hell there is only life, which is the frailest thing in the world.-Blaise Pascal

"It attracts you slowly with the biggest temptations. There's nothing this hotel can't get for you and the comfort is high quality. You return once, twice and at some point, you find it difficult to leave it. In no time, you find yourself engulfed in the magic of it."   - Evan McAllister, The Moonflower Hotel

How well I have learned that there is no fence to sit on between heaven and hell. There is a deep wide gulf, a chasm, and in that chasm is no place for any man-Johnny CashThe doors of heaven and hell are adjacent and identical-Nikos KazantzakisHeaven and hell suppose two distinct species of men, the good and bad. But the greatest part of mankind float betwixt vice and virtue-David HumeDoomed souls cannot fight against their fateThey cannot die because that would cease their pain easilyThey have to live knowing they cannot be savedThey have already fallen into darknessAnd The Soul Left the BodyThee The Commander Has AwakenedOnce He Had FallenNo Wings Can Raise Him to HeavenNo More

What happens when two people with opposite personalities get in trouble together? Under some questionable circumstances, Abby and Evan become runaways. Police and mafia are searching for them, but why? What did they do to get in trouble? In the 21st Century, being innocent and minding your own business can lead you to serious trouble.

Three poems, written from three different points of view. One is a victim, one is caught between love and hate and one is a sinner.

There is a story about a girl who found the Magic Mirror of The Evil Queen.

Mirror, mirror on the wall,

Who's the prettiest of all?

The mirror opened up a door to a world that no one knew it existed. A world of eternal beauty. The world on the other side of the mirror. But to have the chance to see it, one had to give something in return.

Mirror, mirror on the wall,

Who's the prettiest of all?

The mirror gave the response. It absorbed the beauty from her soul and left her with nothing but a pretty face.The mirror closed the door right before the girl could look inside.

A beautiful face is nothing without a beautiful soul For beauty is not in looks and treasures. It's in your soul and in the way you treat yourself and others.

Among the students at Hogwarts, there is one girl whose story's never been told. Eliza came to Hogwarts to learn magic and make friends but she ended up finding out that she's just as much of a pawn as Harry Potter.

CHILDREN - "Children with High Intelligence Loaded into Defence and Resistance to Energy N"

Energy N is a new type of formula discovered by scientists. It has been tested on a few people by introducing it into their bodies. Practically, whoever has this energy in their DNA has a higher IQ and can materialize their feelings into a ball of energy of a certain colour. The colour depends on the body and the control that person has on his/her feelings. The brightest colour is yellow and the darkest is blue. People with non-colours, like white and black, are supposedly able to manifest their emotions in destructive ways.

There are only 3 original CHILDREN alive and 13 CHILDREN who have no idea what flows in their bodies. One man decides to bring them together and show them how special they are. That proves to be quite difficult when the 13 young adults are nothing like the previous generations.
