But everything changes when a mysterious and darkly captivating new student, Kael, arrives in town—and he seems to know exactly what her mark means. Kael is no ordinary boy.

In the quiet

The heavy rain pounded against the windows, a relentless reminder of the storm raging outside. Inside, Elena stood at the edge of the living room, her arms wrapped tightly around herself as if the cold could keep the memories away. She had heard the knock at the door, but she didn’t move. She wasn’t sure if she could. “Elena.” The sound of her name broke through her thoughts, soft but insistent. She turned, and there he was—Liam, standing in the doorway, drenched from the downpour. His eyes were dark, filled with something she couldn’t name, and his lips parted like he had so much to say but didn’t know where to start. “I didn’t think you’d show up,” Elena said quietly, her voice trembling despite her efforts to sound steady. She didn’t want him here. Not now, not after everything. Liam took a step forward, his eyes never leaving hers. “I had to. I couldn’t leave things like this between us.” The words stung more than they should have, but she held her ground. “Things ended between us, Liam. You made sure of that.” He flinched, as if the words were a slap. “I know I did,” he said, his voice tight. “I was stupid. I pushed you away when I should’ve fought for you. And I... I didn’t trust you when you needed me to.” Elena’s heart twisted at the raw sincerity in his voice, but she couldn’t let him in that easily. “Why now, after all this time? After everything that’s happened?” “I don’t have an answer for that,” he admitted. “All I know is that I can’t keep pretending I don’t care about you. I never stopped caring.” The silence between them was thick, a chasm neither of them knew how to cross. The world outside continued to rage, but in that moment, it was just the two of them. Elena’s pulse raced, her mind torn between wanting to believe him and fearing the hurt that would come if she let him back in. “I don’t know if I can trust you again, Liam,” she whispered, the words slipping out before she could stop them. He stepped closer, reaching out like he was about to touch her but hesitated. “Then give me a chance to prove I’m worth trusting.” Elena’s breath caught, her chest tightening as something inside her wavered. For a moment, she could almost believe him. But the scars ran too deep. “I need time,” she said, finally looking away. “I need time to figure out if I can even forgive you.” Liam stood still, his expression a mixture of regret and understanding. “I’ll wait. As long as it takes.” And for the first time in a long time, Elena wondered if maybe—just maybe—she could let the past go and start again.

This story mainly focuses on the adventure and fantasy aspects more with slice of life and actions mixed in it. This novel is my take on creating a perfect Female Main Charector of my liking and to create a story of a proper hero and savior. ______________ The cover does belong to me, so no prob. discord: https://discord.com/invite/fYqDSEYVUM Have fun reading.

lyra Everdawn: la sombra del crepúsculo

"Lyra Everdawn: Las Sombras del Crepúsculo" En un mundo donde la magia es la esencia de todo lo que existe, la princesa Lyra Everdawn vive atrapada en el vacío de su propia indiferencia. Renacida en un reino gobernado por la magia, el combate y la política, Lyra se ha desconectado por completo de lo que otros consideran las razones de la vida: el amor, el poder, el honor. Para ella, todo es una ilusión pasajera, una trama que, aunque jugada por muchos, carece de significado. Con su belleza helada, su alma vacía y sus ojos de azul cristalino, Lyra observa el mundo desde la distancia, sin esperanza ni deseo. El matrimonio arreglado con el príncipe Kaelen Draelthorn, un acuerdo entre reinos, no es más que otro juego de poder en el que no tiene interés, pero al que está obligada a participar. Sin embargo, todo toma un giro inesperado cuando Alex Albión, un misterioso estudiante recién llegado a la Academia de Magia de Everdawn, entra en la vida de Lyra. Con una actitud despectiva y un aire de diversión insostenible, Alex se comporta como si todo esto no fuera más que un juego de citas, casi como si estuviera jugando un otome, un romance ficticio de su propia invención. No le importa el caos de la corte ni las expectativas que pesan sobre Lyra, pero su presencia intrigante empieza a desatar una serie de eventos que alteran la frágil indiferencia de la princesa. Alex, con su desdén hacia las normas del mundo y su constante sonrisa juguetona, parece estar perfectamente consciente de algo que Lyra no puede comprender: el destino de ambos podría estar entrelazado de una manera que desafía las leyes de la realidad. ¿Es posible que Alex Albión sea también una reencarnación, atrapado en este ciclo eterno junto a Lyra? Si es así, ¿qué busca realmente, y por qué juega con las emociones de todos a su alrededor como si fuera un simple entretenimiento? A medida que Lyra y Alex se cruzan en el terreno de la magia y la política, se revelan secretos ocultos, y otros estudiantes misteriosos, igualmente fascinados por Lyra, comienzan a emerger. Estos estudiantes, algunos con habilidades únicas y otros con un amor casi devocional por la princesa, la ven no solo como una figura de poder, sino como una diosa a quien adorar. ¿Será que los seguidores de Lyra, atrapados en sus propias ilusiones, buscan algo más allá de la magia o el deber? ¿O quizás están buscando una verdad más profunda que ni siquiera ellos comprenden? "Lyra Everdawn: Las Sombras del Crepúsculo" es una historia de misterio y nihilismo, donde el amor es solo una farsa, la magia es un medio vacío, y el destino parece solo un juego sin fin. Con Alex Albión y otros misteriosos personajes que parecen saber más de lo que dicen, Lyra deberá enfrentar no solo las expectativas de su reino, sino los secretos oscuros de su propia existencia. ¿Serán estos estudiantes como ella, reencarnaciones atrapadas en una trama infinita? ¿Y será posible que incluso en la indiferencia y el vacío, puedan encontrar algo que desafíe el fin de todo?
