May Your Soul Rest In Magdala

Our Journey: Where Thoughts Rest is a deeply personal collection of poems/story that offers a quiet space for emotion, reflection, and healing. Through themes of exhaustion, grief, invisibility, and resilience, these poems/story speak to the soul’s most tender moments — when the world feels too loud, too cruel, or too indifferent. Each piece is a resting place for thoughts that have long remained unspoken, capturing the ache of being misunderstood, the sorrow of a wounded Earth, and the quiet strength of still believing in love, hope, and the self. This is not just a collection — it’s a soft voice in the dark, reminding you that you are not alone. Let these words hold you. Let them remind you to breathe. Let them be the place where your thoughts, too, can finally rest.

In the rain-soaked shadows of Nocturne City, where vampires and werewolves wage eternal war under neon lights, Nyx prowls as a lone bounty hunter. An enigma with olive skin, raven-black hair, and silver-grey eyes that pierce the darkness, she hides her ethereal beauty behind a crimson chiffon scarf and hooded leather jacket. Her lithe frame belies a lethal strength, her callused hands wielding a dagger infused with unstable blood magic. Nyx is no ordinary half-vampire—she can daywalk, a rare gift that marks her as something more. Unbeknownst to her, the scarf pulses with her mother’s essence, a supreme vampire-witch from a massacred royal bloodline, while a gold signet ring on a leather cord holds the key to her heritage. Haunted by an unguided power and raised by Selene, a centuries-old witch disguised as a spunky bartender with raven curls and emerald eyes, Nyx survives on wits and bounties. Selene, bound by a debt to Nyx’s family, loves her like a daughter but guards secrets that could unravel everything. Enter Cale, a rogue werewolf alpha built like a brick shithouse with bronze skin, medium-length wavy chestnut hair, and amber eyes that burn like molten bronze. His silver-grey tattoo—a crescent moon entwined with a wolf’s claw—and matte tungsten rune ring hint at his ancient dynasty and black-market empire. Uber-wealthy and a notorious player, Cale has never felt the cosmic pull that strikes him upon meeting Nyx. It’s an unbelievable, new sensation—a thrumming energy that stirs arousal and destiny, drawing him inexorably closer. He’s born for her, she for him, fated equals destined to rule Nocturne. When Council enforcers—wraithkin horrors—attack The Moon’s Fang, Nyx and Cale’s paths collide in a storm of magic and claws. As Nyx unleashes her power, defying Cale’s protective instincts, he witnesses her fierce independence. She doesn’t need rescuing; she needs her match. But the pull between them, unacknowledged yet exciting, awakens her full potential, threatening to expose her royal blood and ignite a war. Together, they must navigate betrayal, forbidden alliances, and an ancient prophecy, forging a bond that could shatter the city—or claim it as their own.

He exhaled the smoke from his cigarette as if releasing his soul. The ember dimmed, but the fire in his chest roared louder. “How did I become this chained to you?” he murmured, his voice hollow. “Like shackles on my heart… How does one leave when they were imprisoned in someone’s love? How did I, so cautious and aware, fall victim to you? And how does one heal from wounds carved by the one they trusted?” There was no reply. Just the silence of her gaze, fleeing from his. “Tell me,” he whispered, “how do I rip you from my chest when you’ve rooted yourself like a rose among thorns—cutting me every time I try to let go? I bleed when I forget you, I break when I hate you. What kind of curse is this? And now you ask for forgiveness… Tell me—will forgiveness teach me how to forget?” She blinked away tears, her voice trembling like a confession: “I hurt you… and I hurt myself too. Your wounds burn inside me like fire. Let me heal them. Let me give you my soul, fill your heart with a love that honors you, that redeems me. I’ll erase the pain with tenderness, heal you with my beauty, my cunning… I killed you, I know. Let me bring you back to life.” He crushed the cigarette between his fingers. Harshly, he barked: “Then bow.” She bowed, voice soft, eyes lowered. “And here I am, my love… I bow before your heart, in surrender. Will you forgive me now?” A wicked smile curled on his lips. “Stab my heart,” he said coldly. “Ask for forgiveness. Wish for death. Because my forgiveness… is fire. And in it, you shall burn.”

A top student, admired for his brilliance and composure, Akira is secretly drowning in expectations and isolation. That begins to change when he’s seated next to Airi Tachibana, a quiet book-loving girl who doesn’t smile just to please or look at him with admiration.

A chance encounter while saving a stray kitten brings them closer, and Akira discovers a hidden side of her—an anonymous online writer whose words feel too personal, too familiar. Unspoken thoughts.

Farion was the son of Alden and Selene. Alden, a man driven by an insatiable curiosity for the world's unsolved mysteries, was married to Selene, a woman gifted with the rare ability to perceive energies invisible to ordinary eyes. One day, they ventured into an ancient ruin and discovered a strange black box resting atop an altar-like pedestal. “Honey, is the energy coming from here?” Alden asked softly. “Yes… from the box,” Selene murmured. Alden, handling it with the utmost care, slowly opened the box. Suddenly, a burst of blue light, laced with inky blackness, surged from the box. Alden recoiled, stunned.
