Alfred Arkham Asylum

Resonance of the Unkind

In the tranquil town of Ooty, nestled among tea plantations and rolling mist, lives Alfred Raj, a humble baker whose pastries bring joy to the community, and Anjali Ananthalakshmi, a brilliant physics teacher who inspires young minds with her wisdom and grace. To their neighbors, they are the perfect couple-kind, hardworking, and devoted to their two children. Yet, beneath their quiet lives, an air of mystery lingers, as if the past whispers secrets that even they cannot fully escape. When an unexpected police investigation begins to ripple through the region, focusing on a string of unsolved crimes from decades ago, Alfred and Anjali find themselves drawn into the storm-not as suspects, but as bystanders who always seem to be in the right place at the wrong time. Their unwavering resolve and unyielding integrity begin to unnerve those who seek to manipulate the truth. Alfred's calm demeanor and meticulous attention to detail-skills honed over years in his bakery-become a source of quiet strength. Meanwhile, Anjali's sharp intellect and unshakable composure, cultivated through her passion for physics, help her untangle the web of deceit closing in around them. Together, they face the mounting pressure with a grace that belies their ordinary lives, their love for their family the anchor in the storm. As powerful forces close in, dangerous side villains emerge, threatening the peace of their small town. Alfred and Anjali's apparent innocence makes them an enigma to investigators and a growing threat to those who would harm them. With each passing day, it becomes clear that there is more to this couple than meets the eye-not in their identities, but in their unbreakable will to protect their family and their community. In a world where justice often falters and the unkind rise to power, can two ordinary souls withstand the darkness? Or will their unyielding spirit expose truths too dangerous to reveal?

Echoes of the forgotten realm

In a world where ancient spirits live within the shadows of forests and magic echoes in the whispers of the wind, Kaela is called to the Forgotten Realm—a mystical forest that chooses its guardians. The Realm, both beautiful and haunted, shelters lost souls and protects its hidden magic, but it’s beginning to fray at the edges. Strangers speak of whispers in the trees, creatures never seen before, and a deepening darkness that even sunlight cannot reach. Kaela is drawn to the Forgotten Realm by dreams and a magnetic pull she can’t ignore. When she arrives, she realizes her role is more than just an outsider seeking peace; she is meant to protect and learn from the forest. Guided by Nira, the spirit of a former guardian who sacrificed herself to protect the land, Kaela learns to commune with the trees, read the patterns of nature, and tune herself to the forest’s rhythms. But she soon senses the encroaching darkness—a shadowy force that threatens to consume the Realm from within. As Kaela delves deeper, she discovers that the Realm has memories of lost guardians, each tied to the land in both life and spirit. She uncovers hidden places of power within the forest and learns of the sacrifices each guardian has made. Yet, the burden of her role weighs heavily, especially as she uncovers the truth: the Realm’s spirit sustains itself by the lives of its guardians, who become part of the land upon their passing. Just as Kaela is coming to terms with her role, she encounters a young woman, drawn to the forest much like she was once. Kaela realizes that the Realm has chosen its next guardian. She begins to pass on her knowledge, preparing her successor to understand the magic, history, and danger that resides within the forest. Together, they battle the looming darkness, learning that it originates from a breach in the ancient pact that once bound the forest spirits to the Realm. In her final act, Kaela joins the spirits of past guardians, merging with the Forgotten Realm in a ritual that restores balance and peace. The young woman takes her place as the new guardian, feeling Kaela’s presence everywhere—in the leaves, the wind, and the songs of birds. The forest remains timeless, alive with the echoes of every guardian who has walked its paths, their sacrifices woven into the trees, their voices part of its eternal song. The Forgotten Realm, ancient and enduring, now has a new protector, and the echoes of past guardians live on, watching, guiding, and protecting the forest as they always have and always will.

Whispers of the midnight

In a world plagued by a deep-seated enmity between humans and night creatures, the struggle for dominance extends throughout the ages. Among the three lands of Wolfburg, Alstla, Cepheus, and Persia, Cepheus is renowned for its formidable population of night creatures and a few daylight creations, while Alstla is strictly inhabited by the day creatures. Persia, on the other hand, serves as a neutral ground, offering solace to all creatures willing to submit to the ruler's authority. The tension between Cepheus and Alstla has long been a source of instability, with its repercussions reaching even the highest echelons of the council. It is in this bleak scenario that a solution is born - an alliance, forged by a marriage between Cepheus and Alstla. Laurel, however, becomes a thorn in the side of the Duke of Alstla and his family. Conceived through the despicable act of the Duke's drunken assault on a young maid, she enters the world burdened by the circumstances of her birth - not a product of love, but of violence. Since her earliest days, her half-sisters have harbored a deep resentment towards her, constantly reminding her of her humble origins. Their hearts yearn to rid themselves of Laurel's presence, but fate takes a curious turn, and an opportunity presents itself. Laurel Pathrick is chosen to be the bride of Leandro, the infamous younger brother of Lord Alfred, also known as the Devil's Son.
