MOTHER CELESTE

Mother Celeste: Written By Darius Clayton In a world where fame is a double-edged sword, Celeste becomes a global phenomenon after her meteoric rise in the music industry. At just 24 years old, she is pulled into The Circle, an elite and secretive cult with sinister ties to the entertainment industry. Her fame soars, but at a steep price—her freedom, her body, and the sacrifices of the life she once envisioned for herself. Over the years, Celeste battles the trappings of power and control, forging fragile connections with those around her. Her younger sister, Rollie, becomes a rising star in her own right, but at the cost of her own dreams of family. Her estranged husband, Liam, fights to love her despite the insurmountable wall of secrets dividing them. And Eleanor Vaughn, a mysterious woman with complete control over Celeste’s career, proves to be both her benefactor and greatest tormentor. Through devastating betrayals, hidden pregnancies, and the unbearable weight of her decisions, Celeste learns the painful truth: she will always be bound to the life she created, one of sacrifices and shadows. When Marcus and Julian, figures from her past, return to reveal shocking secrets, Celeste’s tenuous grasp on her world begins to unravel. As she pens her Pop Rock masterpiece, In Circles, Celeste attempts to reclaim her voice and identity, even as The Circle tightens its grip. Her fame reaches unprecedented heights, rivaling the likes of Michael Jackson, but it comes with the crushing realization that she is both a legend and a prisoner of her own creation. Spanning a decade, Mother Celeste explores themes of power, love, sacrifice, and self-acceptance. In the end, Celeste is left standing as a symbol of resilience and survival in the face of impossible choices. Her life, riddled with tragedy and triumph, is both an inspiration and a cautionary tale. Her journey is one of strength and sorrow, proving that even in the darkest corners of fame, there is a light to be found in embracing one’s true self.

The Lost Dreams

Before there was light there were the Nightmares, and before that, there were the things that feasted upon the nightmares, the dark. Those that were born from the Darkness, at the birth of the First light of the Cosmic Sands that helped the worlds take shape. When the very first of the soul-possessing creatures, the lightborne witnessed the darkness, they sought to destroy it, fearing that would consume all things in its Voidfull Sea, but in their folly, their hubris had undone a fundamental aspect of the cosmos. Without the threat of the darkness to stave off the nightmares, all the worlds within each stellar grain became the prey they could hunt without limit. Grain by grain, world by world was lost, consumed by the nightmares, expanding the reach of the Voidfull Sea. But their hunger would not go unchecked, as the lightborne that remained, sought to correct the faults of their ancestors. Using the antithesis of the nightmare's might, they empowered a chosen few with their dreams, and with that, they forced the nightmares back into the Voidfull Sea. Using their light, they shielded the Cosmic Sands, from the reach of the abyssal waters. But where there is light, darkness will be born to soon consume it, and for some, the light isn't strong enough to keep the nightmares away. These grains, these unguarded worlds, without their light, their now, dustborne find those with that can once again wield the might of their dreams. For someone must, they must bear our dreams with the strength to achieve them. They may never have wanted a part in this ageless war, but they have now been entrusted with our hopes, the very last of our Dreams.

In an era where legends shaped kingdoms, the Demon King was vanquished by deceitful heroes and banished for five centuries. Yet, in the shadows of his defeat, he plotted a dark return. Through forbidden magic, he clawed back to life, awakening in a world that defied everything he knew. Five centuries have transformed the realm. Once fierce battlefields are now reimagined, and society's roles have flipped. Men, once warriors, now live in subjugation, while women rise as dominant powers. The very fabric of strength and vulnerability is inverted, challenging the Demon King's understanding of power. As he steps into this unfamiliar world, an eerie energy fills the air. With vengeance burning in his heart, he must navigate this perplexing new order. Strange forces shape the land, and the realm he once sought to dominate is now ruled by those he underestimated. In this twisted landscape of loyalty and betrayal, who truly controls the fate of the realm, the resurrected Demon King or the women who now wield the power he covets? The battle for dominance begins anew, and the answers lie in a world turned on its head. Can he reclaim his throne, or will he be undone by the very forces he seeks to conquer? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Content Warning: This is a fantasy story with strong adult themes. Whether in terms of sexuality or otherwise, this story will push boundaries in various ways. The protagonist, the Demon King, is by no means a hero of justice. If you were expecting a story where the hero of justice shines brightly, I must apologize. However, the story won't be overly heavy; it will proceed lightly, bit by bit. Your thoughts and corrections are welcome. Since this is my first novel, there might be instances where I unintentionally violate rules regarding content and language. If that happens, I appreciate your firm feedback. In addition, I plan to post illustrations and images along with the chapters occasionally. Please enjoy with a light heart. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tags: Evil, Dangerous Main Character, Weak MC, Smart MC
