Stoked

Taryn fights monsters. Lucien is one. Forced to team up by the very council she’s made to serve, Taryn finds herself trapped with Lucien—a vampire with too many secrets and a smile that makes her blood run hot. In the midst of growing dangers, the two of them must work together to survive. But the closer they get, the harder it becomes to tell where the real threat lies—outside their walls, or between them. Lucien knows better than to care. He’s spent years perfecting the art of detachment, but something about Taryn makes it impossible to stay indifferent. The fire she carries is fierce, dangerous—and every moment with her only stokes the flames higher. Bound by circumstance and haunted by shadows neither of them can outrun, Taryn and Lucien are playing a game they can’t afford to lose. The fire between them grows hotter with every step, but giving in might cost them everything. Some fires are meant to burn. Others consume. This one could destroy them both.

Determined to survive, he chooses to remain unnoticed, blending into the background of the ninja academy while the future Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, and other luminaries rise around him. Yet the ninja world is unforgiving, and even the quietest embers can be stoked into flames. As Haru navigates friendships, rivalries, and the weight of his own lineage, he must decide—will he remain a forgotten shadow, or step into the light to forge a new destiny for the Uchiha?

In the kingdom of Ustaria, power and ambition rule, and the throne is the ultimate prize. As the once-mighty King Harley Pennington succumbs to age and illness, the question of who will succeed him sets the royal family and noble houses into a spiraling conflict. Harley, a shrewd but frail monarch, clings desperately to his power, unable to choose between his children, each vying for the throne in their own way. His favoritism toward his reckless youngest son, Prince David, blinds him to the chaos he is creating, as the kingdom teeters on the edge of collapse. The eldest son, Prince Harris, is a seasoned warrior and natural leader, but his impulsive nature and reliance on brute strength make him a divisive figure at court. Princess Ruby, the youngest daughter, is beloved by the people for her intelligence and grace, yet she remains entangled in the webs of court intrigue, unwillingly used as a political pawn. Princess Lilliana, with her foreign ties and secret ambitions, hides her cunning behind a mask of loyalty, biding her time to make her own play for power. Meanwhile, Lord Hugo Wilde, a cunning and vengeful noble, plots in the shadows to usurp the Pennington dynasty. His son, Elliot Wilde, a charming yet calculating figure, is caught between his father’s ambition and his growing love for Princess Ruby. As their dangerous romance unfolds, Elliot becomes embroiled in the deadly game of thrones, balancing his loyalty to his father with the allure of true love. Within the royal court, alliances shift and betrayals simmer beneath the surface. The noble houses, restless and hungry for power, begin to align themselves with different heirs. Foreign nations bribe Ustaria’s nobility, stoking the flames of civil war, and the kingdom is soon caught in a storm of political machinations, secret affairs, and deadly rivalries. As King Harley’s grip on the throne loosens, the Pennington children—each with their own secrets, desires, and dark pasts—are thrust into a brutal contest for the crown. Old loyalties are shattered, and trust becomes a rare commodity. When the king finally falls, the battle for Ustaria’s future will begin, and the cost of the crown may be more than any of them can bear. In this tale of power, betrayal, and love, the true enemy may not be the one holding the sword, but the one holding your heart.

He ordered as she stood up in front of him. "Huh?" Silja snapped her head and looked at him in shock. "I said, stripped all the clothes." He repeated The girl was so shocked that she couldn't react. "Ohh do you want me to help you? What a naughty princess we have here." He moved his feet and started to walk around her in a circle.

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° Amidst the shadows that stretch beyond the precipice, a realm of unspoken desires and unrevealed pains beckons. It is a domain where the harbinger of sorrow and pain, a specter of darkness, casts its haunting silhouette. From within this abyss emerges a vow—an oath that cuts through the veil of obscurity. "Justice shall be my mantle," the whisper echoes, the promise etched with determination. In these hands, a power takes root, heedless of the chaos it sows in its unrelenting path. As the abyss gazes back, the abyss of vengeance, a choice is made—a choice to wield the forces that lie within, regardless of the tumult it unfurls. And so, within the tapestry of darkness, a narrative unfolds, where justice and chaos entwine, and the enigmatic journey of the "Strength of Chaos" takes shape. --- Hey there, So, guess what?

Synopsis: In the high stakes realm of billionaires and treachery, "The Poisoned Promise" explores a network of dishonesty, ambition, and surprising love. Billionaire Fernando's fiancée poisons Billionaire Richmore after his software launch goes disastrous. Richmore is hurried to the hospital, and Nurse Natalia, driven by her allegiance to Fernando, schemes to complete the job. But Natalia is welcomed with vulnerability and regret rather than animosity when she faces Richmore in his hospital ward. Richmore's sincere admissions and moving appeals stir something in Natalia, testing her allegiances and stoking a forbidden love. Natalia battles her conscience and the fallout from betraying Fernando as their love grows. Fernando, meantime, is pursuing power so viciously that all Natalia and Richmore have created together may come apart. Natalia has to make a split second decision about her allegiances and whether love is worth taking a chance on. In this compelling story of love, treachery, and redemption, the distinction between friends and foes is hazy and ambition may have a greater cost than anybody could have predicted.

Orphaned from birth, Ruby's vibrant crimson locks marked her as an outcast, a supposed harbinger of misfortune in the eyes of the cold, pious orphanage wardens. Condemned to a childhood of scorn and abuse, she existed in a perpetual state of despair, her only solace found in merely surviving each new day of torment. But on one fateful day, a radiant spirit manifested before her. In that ethereal presence, the first embers of hope were stoked within Ruby's battered soul. For the truth of her birth was finally unveiled - she was no ordinary orphan, but the heir to an ancient lineage imbued with formidable magic. In an instant, her world was irrevocably transformed. The very crimson locks that had once marked her for persecution now blazed as a beacon, drawing the hungry gaze of those who coveted the immense power simmering within her veins. Suddenly, Ruby found herself an unwitting player on a perilous new stage, stalked by nefarious forces who would stop at nothing to possess the arcane gifts she never knew she possessed. Thrust into an uncharted realm where fabled myths bleed into reality, Ruby can no longer merely hope to survive - she must learn to unleash the dormant magic coursing through her, master abilities beyond her wildest dreams, and confront head-on the shadowy menaces threatening to unravel the truth of her very existence.

His glorious face was inches away from mine, this wasn't allowed. Especially from him. "I thought you never get scared," He whispered at my reddened ear. "Who said...I'm...scared," I stammered causing him to smirk sexily. I was loosing my mind. No I already lost my mind the second he came into my life. Damn him! I wanted to kill him or maybe...kiss him. What was I even thinking.... Maybe it was his hypnotic ash grey eyes or his intoxicating masculine scent or just his glossy pink shaded lips or his shaggy white hair. "Could you step away from me," I almost whispered. "Pardon?" He came closer to my neck and stoked it with his finger sending electricity all over my body. My heart was racing and I forgot to breathe. He pressed his body against mine and my hand automatically flew to his chest. "You...have...a girlfriend Xaidam," I mentioned in a low raspy voice. "Tell me you hate me," he said as his damned hand dragged my short dress upwards. "I hate...you," My short breaths were becoming even shorter. "Are you sure?" His hands grabbed my thighs and he buried his face on my neck, kissing, licking and sucking my pulse point like a needy man.

There was a war, a war that destroyed almost everything. The Casters had incantations and spells, but the Norms had weapons and outnumbered the Casters. But as time passed and months of war turned into years, both sides grew weary. Tired of bloodshed and living in fear, they called a truce and decided to coexist, and they did. Compromises were made, and laws were passed to protect those without casting abilities. The Casters had to be marked, and harsh punishments were put on them for using their abilities in unauthorized ways. However, the Casters followed the rules and obeyed the laws, and for hundreds of years, both Casters and Norms lived seamlessly together. Well, almost seamlessly. Whispers spread in the Caster community, complaints about the unfair laws, prejudices, and cruel penalties. The whispers became louder and angrier and the ones stoking the flames were the Draxtons. Considered the strongest, richest, and most powerful of the 'Original Ten' families, the Draxton's had always been in a position of power in the Caster community and were well respected and trusted. So when the head of the family, Fabian Draxton, called for reform and change Casters listened. He talked of equality, stabilization of power, and taking back the pride and strength that The gods themselves gave Casters. Many followed him blindly, and when the time was right, Fabian started his rebellion, but it wasn't what he promised. Ruthless tactics were taken, and the true nature of Fabian came to the surface. Thousands were killed. Any man, woman, or child who spoke against his methods was executed whether they supported him or not. With the support of his brothers, he took everything, dominating, destroying, and controlling until his own people finally took him down. After having his left hand publicly amputated, Fabian was imprisoned for life in a high-security prison while the rest of the world began to recover with the promise of change and equality. Years later, Norms and Casters coexist again, just like before, but the whispers are back as the younger generation of Casters reaches adulthood and sees the same treatment as before. No changes, only broken promises.

A modern twist on the classic MacBeth, this three act play covers the series of unfortunate events that follow MacBob after he talked to three shady hippies about zodiacs and tarot cards at the Moor bar. Act I MacBob, assistant manager of Haggis Inc., is at the Moor bar and he is loaded. He ends up at the back table where three hippies are reading each other’s palms. They ask him his sign (Pisces) and tell him that he will be Executive, and later CEO of, Haggis Inc. He just has to avoid the “man of no haggis born” or some nonsense like that and he has to make sure he avoids snow trees(?) and he’ll be solid. MacBob thinks they’re weird but he’s stoked to hear about his future promotions. He calls his wife and tells her all about it, still drunk. His wife is hella mad that he’s calling her while drunk but she listens anyway because she’s tolerant. She yells at him to get home immediately and sleep it off. He does. A few days later, news arrives that the existing Executive was just fired for having an affair with her secretary and MacBob has to take over the job till they find someone else. His wife realizes that his drunken blubbering was legit and gets a twisted idea. Convince the CEO of the company to just give MacBob the exec job and get someone else to replace the Assistant Manager job, then get rid of the CEO. The plan works and MacBob is the Executive of Haggis Inc. He goes to the Moor bar to celebrate with his buddy. He gets really drunk and sees those hippies again. He wobbles over to tell them the good news and they’re just like, “wild, man. Wild. Look out for the man born of no haggis, amigo. Look out for paper cuts too.” He’s still euphoric about the promotion and hollers “I’m gonna be be King of Haggis!” His buddy tells him to cool it. He goes home and sleeps it off. Act II In the first week, MacBob has been doing stellar at his new job. He just got a contract that will raise Haggis Inc. chains all over Scotland. He gets a raise and the CEO suggests that a party is in order. MacBob accepts and phones wifey the good news. She’s been plotting how to get rid of the CEO and thinks the party is the perfect opportunity to do so and suggests it be held at their house. MacBob is still hung up on the King of Haggis idea that he gets paranoid. After he finds out a colleague is vegetarian, he thinks that’s the guy not born of haggis and fires him on the spot without telling anyone. He gets a major guilt trip afterwards. At the party, everyone’s drinking and having a great time. MacBob hallucinates he’s seeing the guy he fired and is yelling at air. He writes the guests out. Wife interrupts, says he’s just drunk again and everyone goes to bed. The wife wants MacBob to lace the CEO’s nightcap with a vinegar concoction to make him so sick he goes to the hospital. MacBob is chicken so she does it. The CEO dies from tripping over his hospital gown and landing on his head. MacBob gets the CEO job. Act III MacBob is CEO and is NOT prepared for for all the responsibilities. The Haggis Chain contract falls through along with all the partnerships. MacBob is stricken. His wife goes bonkers from the thought of losing what she cheated so hard for and gets committed. MacBob goes to the hippies for help and they turn him away. They don’t palm read anymore. They’re into poetry now. MacBob goes back to his fancy office and is considering ending it all. Lawyers walk in with bankruptcy papers to be signed. He gets a paper cut while signing and gets the shock of his life when he sees who just gave him the papers. It’s the vegetarian he fired. It turns out he had the degrees to became a bankruptcy lawyer after getting fired. Our tale ends as MacBob goes to the Burger King drive-through and when asked what he’d like to order, he says “Haggis.” He gets a paper BK crown with his haggis-shaped burger.
