"I will touch the stars... or die trying." ==================== Note: NO R-18, R**e, Romance or pre-marital handholding. I take no pleasure in writing such things. There's a bunch of killing and gruesome descriptions though. The novel is a bit slow in the first chapters, but after that, it picks up and gets significantly better. Also, the power system is similar to BotDS, but I've asked the author for permission to use it. It's also heavily inspired my writing, but the beginning is where its most prevalent.

Two hearts untouched, in silence lay, Met where tulips swayed in May. No love had brushed their lonely past, Yet fate had spun its web so fast. A blossom new, so soft, so bright, Unfolded in the golden light. Their souls once cold, now warm and free, Love bloomed where none had thought to be.

Las sombras de Anthropótita siempre han susurrado secretos. En las noches más frías, cuando el viento arrastra murmullos entre los árboles y las luces de las aldeas titilan como luciérnagas moribundas, los ancianos cuentan historias de seres ocultos. Relatos que los niños escuchan con asombro y los adultos descartan con una sonrisa. Pero las historias no son solo cuentos. Son advertencias. Algo ha despertado. Thio lo ha sentido en la forma en que las ciudades refuerzan sus muros, en los ojos temerosos de los viajeros que hablan de figuras que desaparecen en la bruma.

Pero cuando Matt, un joven de mirada asustada y propósito inquebrantable, lo busca con una súplica desesperada, su destino toma un nuevo rumbo. Mujeres han desaparecido sin dejar rastro. Las pistas llevan a lo desconocido, a los límites de lo que la razón se atreve a aceptar. Lo que comenzó como una simple misión de rescate pronto se convierte en algo más grande, más oscuro. En Anthropótita, la línea entre mito y realidad se desdibuja, y Thio y Matt están a punto de cruzarla. Porque en las sombras, algo los observa. Y ha estado esperando.

“And what is it about him that still makes you love him?” I asked, sensing I already knew the answer. “Oh, my dear, please try not to hold onto so much resentment for your father. He might—” “Mom!” I interrupted, my voice breaking as a sardonic laugh escaped me. “How can you still find a way to justify his actions? Even if you have some lingering feelings for him, shouldn’t they fade when you think about what he’s done to me? Am I really not as important as the man who has only brought you pain?” My emotions overwhelmed me, and I struggled to hold back my tearsThe silence enveloped us, and I could feel the weight of uncertainty in the air. I couldn't help but wonder what had clouded my mom's judgment, perhaps it was the influence of that man she called her husband. “Mom, I think it's time for you to choose a side,” I said, my voice trembling as I neared the end of my sentence, fully aware that I might never address him that way again. “You can’t keep pretending this is going to work. It’s either me or…him.” “Serena, please, you can't win against your dad. I really think you should drop any thoughts of going against him. He’s not as bad as you believe, dear. Remember, he’s the one who pays for this house and your college tuition. Your clothes and food—all of that is still his responsibility, and he’s meeting those obligations. All I ask is that you finish college, find a job, or better yet, settle down with a good man,” my mom urged, her voice tinged with an earnest desperation as if she were trying to convince not just me but herself. I listened, trying to remain calm, a bittersweet smile crossing my lips as I realized I couldn't back down from my convictions. “Alright, Mom, if you’ve chosen Mr. Andre, that’s your decision. But I won’t be swayed—I’m going to forge my own path, and I hope you’ll understand that when the time comes.” With that, a sense of resolve washed over me, and I braced myself for the future ahead, knowing it would be filled with both challenges and possibilities.
