The Lantern of Lost Wishes

The Lantern of Lost Wishes Deep in the heart of Luminwood Forest, where the air hums with secrets and fireflies weave trails of forgotten dreams, there is a legend of an ancient lantern that can grant lost wishes. No one knows who made it or why, but those who go looking for it rarely find their way back. For Elyra, the lantern is more than a story. It’s a chance. Haunted by a past she can’t change and a future slipping through her fingers, Elyra sets out to find the lantern, clutching nothing but a faded map and a fragile hope. But the forest is alive. It shifts and listens. Creatures of shadow, known as the Wraithbound, follow her every move, feeding on the desperate wishes of others. Elyra’s only ally is a mysterious stranger with golden eyes and a grin that hides more than it reveals. He’s cursed, dangerous, and far too familiar with the forest’s tricks—and yet, Elyra can’t shake the feeling that he’s the only one who truly understands her. With every step deeper into the woods, Elyra discovers that wishes are never free, and some are lost for a reason. The closer she gets to the lantern, the heavier the cost becomes—secrets unravel, alliances shatter, and the forest itself begins to turn on her. Elyra must decide how far she’s willing to go to reclaim what she’s lost and whether some dreams are better left untouched. Because in the Luminwood, every wish carries a price, and once the lantern’s light finds you, it’s impossible to turn back. A story of longing, sacrifice, and the magic we hold onto when all else fades, The Lantern of Lost Wishes is a journey into a world where dreams flicker like fireflies, and hope is both a blessing and a curse.

The Lantern Bearer

"BASED ON HISTORY" In a world governed by wealth, ambition, and illusion, young Diogenes of Sinope begins a life-altering journey in pursuit of truth. After a scandal involving his father tarnishes his family’s name, Diogenes flees to Athens, where he encounters the enigmatic philosopher Antisthenes. Under his guidance, Diogenes begins to strip away the masks society demands he wear and confronts the uncomfortable truths hidden within himself and the world around him. Through vivid encounters with merchants, beggars, politicians, and philosophers, Diogenes challenges the values of his time, wielding wit and irreverence as his weapons. His journey is marked by struggles to reconcile his disdain for materialism with his lingering fears, his defiance of authority with his longing for purpose, and his relentless pursuit of freedom with the cost of alienation. As he grows from a questioning student into a sharp-tongued cynic, Diogenes sets out to illuminate the lies that enslave humanity—even if it means walking alone through the shadows. With every step, he reshapes what it means to live a virtuous life, leaving a legacy that will echo through the annals of philosophy. "The Lantern Bearer" is a richly detailed and introspective novel that explores the boundaries of freedom, the nature of truth, and the courage required to live authentically. Through Diogenes’ story, it asks timeless questions: What is the cost of honesty in a world of deception? And is freedom worth it?. 35 new chs/week

Entangled Hearts: A Billionaire's Second Chance

Natalie Collins is a career woman, and she has worked hard for what she has today. She resides in a rich and active city, substituting her painful past. Such is the life of the protagonist, who is immediately thrown for a loop when she comes across Scott Foreman, a charming billionaire with whom she seems to have shared a past. In a bid to recapture the past and also make amends for his misdeeds, Scott returns to his city after years of empire construction. A meeting between two of them in the framework of a highly publicized charity event causes a storm in the soul of Natalie. The passion between them is remembered, as is the anguish of betrayal by Scott, whom she loved but who was killed by Chris. Although she is much wiser than that, Natalie agrees to be business partners with Scott since she thinks that the business aspect will prevent her from ‘losing her head’.  As they both come together and start working, they realize that they are healing each other sexually and slowly start regaining their married relationship. Scott becomes honest about his sins and seems to want to be a new man, but Natalie cannot forget what she felt for him and, at the same time, cannot let him use her. Indeed, for the purpose of trying to get some sort of clarity, she returns to the family home, where she goes over her interactions with both Scott and David, her current boyfriend, who is present, affectionate, and supportive. Convinced that she needs to confront herself, Natalie has truthful dialogues with the two men. She tells Scott her feelings of fear and hope and thus creates a foundation on which to restore confidence, and she discusses with David her weaknesses. Finally, Natalie makes her decision to forgive Scott and to try in her newfound relationship to get a fresh start for the two of them. Reconnecting as a couple, they have to deal with Scott’s jealous ex-girlfriend and the stress of Natalie’s high-stakes job. However, despite all this, they stand together, help, and, as a result, become much more energetic. Scott does not cease to regain Natalie’s trust and confidence in him, and through his patient sincerity, he is able to do it, and their love deepens. One of the prominent narrative motifs is a trip of lovers; the last scene before the credits roll is the moment Scott proposes a marriage to Natalie, and the girl accepts the ring. The union that signifies their love and pledge to each other is their wedding and the vows and contracts that are made and received. As has been seen many times among young parents, they organize the process of child care along with their working responsibilities. This is evident when Scott chooses to avoid work in order to assist Natalie and, in the process, support his expanding family.  Together, they develop new business opportunities, and the family foundation is created to make an adequate contribution with their achievements. The happiness that was perceived on screen—the sweetness of a love that had dreams as its backdrop—was apparent in their friendship. They move to the epilogue, and viewers witness Natalie and Scott in their happy family, still loving each other and still legally married. They are able to look at the barriers they have overcome and the joy in having met each other because the affectionate relationship is more than physical. This stands for love, affection, and, to a certain extent, the permanency of their relationship, which they created. "Entangled Hearts: “A Billionaire’s Second Chance” is a worthy example of an absent or true love story, commitment, and second chances that successfully overcome all of them.

Unveiled (MLL)

With each mile that he passed with his car his anger turned from fury to a blinding fire to a pitch black pit of chaos. And yet the pitch black chaos was too small a word as further ahead he went, until there he stood in front of ‘Manerium Somniorum’ The manor of dreams. Standing at the gates his anger dissipated to a form of fear and melancholy. Christian knew it like he knew the back of his hand that these emotions were his. Whatever he was feeling was an aftermath of what the manor was listening in on. The walls were screaming the story that unfolded between their bricks as the windows tried to leap open, over powered by the yearning need for some kind of a void. An escape from what unfolded. The gate of the manor seemed barred from reality. Acutely preoccupied by the nightmare. Participating and escaping every word the manor screamed. Time did not exist beyond these gates. No what was left behind was simply the shadow of broken hearts. With each second that passed Christian watched a darkness descend upon the manor as thick mists of clouds and shadows formed. Untouched was the reality outside the gate but inside Manerium Somniorum dreamed. Dreamed of a heartbroken man. Echoed of an unquenchable thirst. Begged for her return. Pulling every reality into it in its desperation, whispering and moaning Christian or anyone that dared to watch to enter. Enter their dream. Dream their love. And bathe in their despair as a symphony lulled Christian into a heavy sleep. With each ticking minute the manor seemed to draw further and further away, without even realizing his eyes had closed and his body was mesmerized by her. By them. It played out again like a song, starting with a verse. A look. A pair of eyes. A shadow. As translucent darkness shone brightly around a man and interlaced with his soul. And there she stood. It was her form and her face and yet her eyes betrayed who she was. A conscious thought metaphored into her existence, standing right there under the soft glow of his lantern. Christian was the prince and the prince was chaos as their fell in love for the first time. As their skin felt the fleeting graze of her smile and their ears heard the soft whisper of her gown tease the ground. There all three souls stood as one falling in love with the same form and yet a different woman. "We were never meant for tomorrow ..." She said with a trembling voice as her hand reached out for his, so close and yet much like their fates all there was between them were dreams.
