Quicksand Mlp

Gods' Gaze

Every civilization in embryo aspires to be Rome while the one on deathbed laments it. Inspired by Rome, Gods’ Gaze is an epic historical fantasy of multiple POVs relying on authentic stratagems of twists and turns. No one gets to Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo out of trouble. "All warfare is based on deception, like the theater." Evoking his late father’s words, Cato Duilius Claudius assumes the alias, Moon Xeator, and he vows to have his vengeance. In the upcoming years, he plots to restore the dual consulship, his father’s legacy, by bringing down the Praetor Magnum and the Triumvirate that slaughtered his family when he was a child. Aware that nothing would crush a man as much as the chink in his own armor, he sows suspicions among his foes and lures them into overreaching. He games the power structure in which all participants are corruptible. Those he keeps around, he taps into their fears, hates, and wants as grist for his mill. He turns his friends into pawns, as does his life a board of chess. But the game he plays cuts both ways. His vengeance also brings home the bitterest misery, which is to know so much and still have control over so little. And there is no return for him now. He can’t look back as there is nothing behind; nor does he dare look forward, knowing the road ahead. All he has is the time at hand, and it all slips through him into ruins like quicksand. When he trades in what he holds dear only to arrive at his destination, what will he find there when nothing can ease the pain of his losses? Fleshed out by his flaws, Xeator never meant to choose good over evil. His journey rings true that every important idea is only valid as in a paradox with an opposing idea, and the power to rise obliterates, too.

The Obsidian Sovereign: Shadow Reign

In a world where unseen hands control the fates of nations, a figure only known as "the Lord" reigns supreme. From the darkness of his concealed fortress, the Lord commands an empire built on fear, manipulation, and death. His identity is a mystery, his reach endless—governments topple at his whisper, powerful families crumble with a single command. Those who dare to oppose him vanish without a trace. He is a master of the shadows, feared by all, but trusted by none. Sarah and Helena, two ordinary sisters, are suddenly plunged into this deadly world when they are marked for elimination by the most powerful families on earth. Unknown forces are closing in on them, and the Lord—cold, ruthless, and enigmatic—becomes their only hope for survival. But why? What is it about these sisters that draws the Lord’s obsessive protection, even as he destroys those who seek to harm them? As his lethal agents, including the hauntingly deadly Seraphine and the merciless Queens, execute his commands without question, the sisters begin to realize that they are mere pieces in a much larger game—one that stretches back decades and is laced with vengeance, betrayal, and hidden horrors. The Lord’s web of power is unraveling, and the enemies lurking in the shadows are closing in fast. In a relentless storm of betrayal, intrigue, and violent retribution, the Lord’s hidden empire begins to fracture as ghosts from his past emerge. His connection to the sisters is far deeper than even he cares to admit, and as layers of secrecy peel away, Sarah and Helena must confront a terrifying truth: they are tied to the Lord’s darkest, most painful secrets, and the world they thought they knew is built on blood-soaked lies. Every move they make is watched, every decision a potential trap. And in the dead of night, a hidden force even more terrifying than the Lord stirs—an ancient power that threatens to consume them all. In a game where loyalty shifts like quicksand, and where every step could lead to unimaginable peril, the sisters must decide whether to trust the man who holds their lives in his hands… or face annihilation at the hands of an unstoppable, unseen enemy. But nothing is what it seems, and the Lord’s true motives are more chilling than they ever imagined. As the final pieces fall into place, the lines between savior and monster blur. The Lord’s empire teeters on the edge of collapse, and with enemies closing in from every side, one question remains: can Sarah and Helena survive the storm brewing around them, or will the Lord’s past drag them all into oblivion? In a pulse-pounding tale of relentless suspense and heart-stopping action, every shadow hides a deadly secret, and every moment is a fight to stay alive.
