Her fingers itched to tear it apart, to make this nightmare disappear. But deep down, she knew that wouldn’t change anything. “I don’t remember,” she whispered, more to herself than to him. “I don’t remember any of it.” Blake nodded as if he had expected this reaction. “That is expected. You had a lot to drink last night.” he fished out a phone from the back pocket of his trousers, opened it. “Here, this is us celebrating, after we got married last night,” he said, showing her a picture. Delilah’s breath caught in her throat as she stared at the photo. It was indeed her. “How?” she whispered, her voice barely audible. “I don’t remember any of this.” “It was a wild night,” he said softly. Perhaps she had married Blake because he was wealthy. That would be the only logical reason for her to make such a blunder. There was hope, she thought, as she clung to the possibility of salvaging something from this disaster. Turning to him, she forced a smile, “Is this your house? Are we in your house?” She asked, looking around the bedroom. Blake shook his head, “No. This is a hotel,” he said, and she nodded. “I see. It looks like quite an expensive hotel,” she observed, “What do you do for a living?” she asked, trying to keep her voice steady as she searched his eyes for any hint of affluence. Blake hesitated, his confident demeanor faltering for the first time. He looked away, rubbing the back of his neck. “I’m... in between jobs,” he stuttered, avoiding her gaze. Delilah’s heart sank, disappointment crashing over her like a wave. “In between jobs?” she echoed, her voice tinged with disbelief. Blake seemed to sense her dismay. “I know it doesn’t sound great,” he said quickly, trying to reassure her. “But I’m working on a few things. I just need a little more time.” “You’re jobless,” she muttered to herself as reality sunk in. “How did you pay for this room? For the wedding bands?” She asked, and he winced. “I didn’t. You did,” he said, and she collapsed on the bed. (PS: Cover photo isn’t mine. Credit to the real owner)

The awakening of the witches

In a medieval world gripped by war, Anya, a young elf from a small clan, discovers she carries one of the Seven Gems of Lumina. This gem, with the glow of a cat's eye, grants her mastery over the elements, making her a powerful sorceress. But Anya is not the only bearer. Each gem, scattered across the kingdom, grants a unique power: that of burning flame, that of freezing ice, that of hurricane wind, that of fertile earth, that of blinding light, and that of dark shadows. The search for the gems has sparked a war between the great clans. The Raven Clan, led by the ambitious Lord Kael, seeks to dominate the kingdom and forge a dark empire. Kael, in love with Anya, sees her as a tool to achieve his goals, but she resists his advances. As Anya delves deeper into this world of magic and betrayal, she discovers that each gem has a story and a legacy. The Burning Flame Gem, for example, was forged in the heart of a volcano and grants unimaginable destructive power. The Frigid Ice Gem, born in the depths of the sea, can freeze rivers and create impenetrable shields. As the clans clash in epic battles, Anya and her allies suffer devastating losses. Friends and family fall in combat, and the young elf is forced to make difficult decisions that will shape her fate. The conflict over the gems escalates, and the kingdom is divided into warring factions. In the midst of this war, Anya discovers an ancient oracle that reveals a terrible secret: if all seven gems are gathered in one place, they could unleash a catastrophe that would destroy the world. Anya must find a way to stop Kael and the other gem bearers before it is too late. But the path to peace will not be easy, for the fate of the kingdom and her own are intertwined with the power of the gems.
