Whitebeard Cracking Air

Moonlit Vows

The forest was unusually quiet that evening, its towering trees casting long shadows under the dim glow of the setting sun. Selene Rivers adjusted her scarf against the biting autumn chill, her boots crunching against the blanket of fallen leaves. She'd come to the woods for solace, hoping the isolation would help her clear her thoughts. Life in the small town of Everhollow had been far from eventful—until tonight. She hadn't planned to stay out late, but as the sun dipped below the horizon, she realized she'd wandered farther than usual. The air felt different now—heavier, as though the forest itself was holding its breath. A low growl shattered the silence. Selene froze, her heart pounding in her chest. She turned slowly, scanning the woods, but nothing stirred. Her pulse raced as she quickened her pace, her breath visible in the icy air. The growl came again, louder this time, followed by the unmistakable sound of snapping twigs. Panic surged through her veins. Selene broke into a run, weaving between the trees, her instincts screaming at her to flee. But she wasn't fast enough. A massive wolf leapt from the shadows, landing a few feet ahead of her. Its fur was jet-black, its golden eyes gleaming with predatory intent. Selene skidded to a halt, her breath hitching. The creature snarled, baring sharp teeth that glinted in the moonlight. Her mind raced. Wolves weren't supposed to be this big. This wasn't an ordinary animal—it radiated an unnatural intelligence, its gaze locked onto hers with almost human intensity. "Stay back," she whispered, though she knew it was futile. The wolf crouched, muscles coiling as it prepared to pounce. Selene closed her eyes, bracing for the worst. A deafening roar echoed through the forest, and the black wolf was suddenly thrown sideways by a blur of movement. Selene's eyes snapped open as two figures tumbled across the forest floor—a second wolf, larger and more imposing, its fur a stormy gray streaked with silver. The two beasts clashed violently, their growls shaking the air. Selene stumbled backward, her instincts urging her to run, but she couldn't tear her gaze away. The gray wolf fought with ferocity, its movements fluid and precise, as though it had been trained for this moment. After a brutal exchange of claws and teeth, the black wolf let out a pained yelp and darted into the shadows, disappearing into the depths of the forest. The gray wolf stood still, its chest heaving as it watched the retreating figure. Slowly, it turned to face Selene. She should have been terrified. But as the wolf's piercing blue eyes met hers, she felt an odd sense of calm. There was no malice in its gaze—only curiosity and something she couldn't quite place. And then it happened. Before her eyes, the wolf began to shift. Its massive frame contorted, bones cracking and reshaping, fur receding to reveal pale skin. Selene's breath caught as the creature transformed into a man.

Through the Cracks of Time

Adrian Greaves thought he had left the past behind—until he encounters a man at a train station who looks exactly like Elian, his closest friend and the one person who ever truly mattered. But Elian has been gone for years, lost to a tragedy Adrian could never forget. When the mysterious stranger vanishes, leaving behind a strange coin etched with a symbol of fractured time, Adrian’s reality begins to unravel. Memories that aren’t his flood his mind, visions of a world where time stands still, and a cryptic name whispers through his thoughts: The Keeper of Time. Drawn into a labyrinth of shifting timelines, Adrian discovers that Elian’s disappearance was no accident—it was a disruption in the very fabric of time itself. Guided by fragments of the past and glimpses of the future, Adrian must confront the enigmatic Keepers, powerful beings who guard the flow of time and seek to control it. But as he navigates a world where past, present, and future collide, Adrian learns a devastating truth: saving Elian might come at the cost of his own existence. With time slipping through his fingers, Adrian must make an impossible choice—restore the timeline and lose Elian forever, or risk everything to defy the Keepers and rewrite fate itself. In a race against time, how far would you go to save the one person who made you whole? "Eternal Echoes" (or another chosen title) is a sci-fi fantasy story about love, loss, and the power of memory in a world where time itself is the enemy.
