Roses Never Fade

THE REVAMPED VERSION OF MY ORIGINAL STORY

Adex had celebrated his birthday at a bar. The night was joyful, surrounded by laughter and friendship as he waited for his girlfriend, Lydia, to drive home. A powerful feeling of fear washed over him while their love and connection were strong. As the night went on, a terrible event changed everything. A loud crash interrupted Adex’s phone call with Lydia, leaving him uncertain. He couldn’t tell if it was an accident or something far from his imagination. He kept a clear mind, not wanting to assume the worst. When Lydia arrived, Adex sensed something different about her behaviour. Although she seemed accurate, her strange attitude made him wonder. He had expected a warmer welcome than what she gave. What starts as a romantic evening quickly becomes a night of revelation and grief when Adex is awakened by a friend's knock, bringing troubling news. He was driven to the scene of a terrible accident. Adex recognized the car—it was Lydia’s. That’s when he had to face the shocking truth: the person who had been in his apartment and the one he was told didn’t survive the crash the night before were the same. The story explores love, loss, and the mysterious forces that shape our lives, blending romance, mystery, and the paranormal.

Thirteen young women. One Prince and Dragon rider. In the kingdom of Aurelia, the path to the throne is paved with ambition, beauty, and sacrifice. A special selection is held to choose the next dragon queen from among the finest daughters of the founding magical nobilities. Thirteen girls, one from each of the foundational families, are chosen to vie for the crown and become the next dragon queen—and the hand of the enigmatic Crown Prince Cassian, the best dragon rider in the seven kingdoms and rider of the ancient, powerful black dragon Taheer. Among them is Lira, the thirteenth girl, a quiet but captivating young woman who seems to have come from nowhere. Unbeknownst to the court, Lira is no noble; she has no powers. She is an impostor. She did not come from a founding family. Driven by revenge, she has infiltrated the selection to destroy the monarchy that unjustly executed her father, a former advisor accused of treason. Lira expects to despise the prince, to see him as a reflection of the corrupt crown. Instead, she immediately bonds with his dragon Taheer and finds Cassian to be kind, intelligent, and burdened by the weight of a kingdom's expectations. He, in turn, is drawn to her fiery spirit and quiet resolve, a stark contrast to the polished perfection of the other contenders. But a new Dragon Queen must be chosen and Lira might not stand a chance. Will Lira's thirst for vengeance destroy them all?

So yeah. Rose Cookies. This isn’t your usual power fantasy or deep character study. It’s just… something that came out of my brain—and maybe yours too. Keanu, the guy you’re reading about, isn’t really a person. He doesn’t have a personality, no tragic backstory, no moral compass. He’s just there. Walking, talking, smiling. And then suddenly—violence. Out of nowhere. Why? Because sometimes, life just pushes people. You keep swallowing the little stuff—awkward silences, fake laughs, getting ignored, getting talked over, being the nice one. Over and over. And then one day, something in you snaps… or at least, wants to. Not gonna lie, a lot of these scenes are born from real stories. Not the stabbings, obviously, but the feelings. Stuff I’ve gone through. Stuff people have told me. That quiet, helpless frustration when you just sit there thinking, “Why do I keep letting this happen?” And maybe, for a second, your brain throws out the worst possible solution just to see how it feels. Keanu is that. He’s not a person. He’s an impulse. He’s what happens when all that built-up patience finally tips. Some chapters will be hilarious. Some will be disturbing. Some will make zero sense. That’s intentional. Life doesn’t stick to genre rules, so neither does this. Thanks for reading. Or hate-reading. Or doomscrolling (I sincerely doubt that) your way into this mess. I’m writing it like a fever dream and trying to surprise myself, so if it gets weird, don’t say I didn’t warn you. – Sincerely, Showerhead
