Red Protects Ash

Seven years ago, Anaya Kapoor was exiled from her own home after the tragic and mysterious death of her mother. Betrayed by her stepmother, Meera, and stepsister, Avni, she was forced to leave behind her rightful inheritance—Kapoor Industries. But now, she’s back in New Delhi, determined to reclaim what was stolen from her and uncover the dark truths buried within Kapoor Mansion. Her return sets off a silent war. Meera plays the perfect hostess, hiding venom behind her smile. Avni is as ruthless as ever, guarding a secret that could shatter her world.

A century after the War of the Ashes shattered the old world, humanity lives under the fragile protection of the immortal Cinderen—a powerful race who demand unbreakable oaths in exchange for their aid. Promises hold power, and breaking them exacts a cost far greater than death. Evander, a cold and enigmatic Cinderen bound by a curse he refuses to explain, collects these promises like currency. His path collides with Aelys, a fierce and determined young woman whose own oath is shrouded in mystery. Drawn together by necessity but divided by mistrust, their relationship is a volatile mix of attraction, hatred, and manipulation. Aelys has a plan: to use Evander to infiltrate the Cinderen from within and destroy them for good. But Evander’s own agenda—and the secrets he harbors—may be just as dangerous. Bound by forces they can’t fully control, the line between ally and enemy blurs with every step deeper into the mirror world where betrayal, blood, and fire reign. As their choices unravel the delicate balance between worlds, Aelys and Evander are forced to ask themselves: How much of their humanity—or their immortality—are they willing to sacrifice? In Ashes of an Oath, promises are forged in fire and broken in blood. The price of trust is steep, and the cost of survival might be their very souls.

In a world bound by celestial forces and ancient archetypes, Theo was never meant to exist. When Samuel, a man from another world, awakens in the body of a boy long dead, he inherits not only Theo’s life but also a dark, fiery power—one that whispers of destruction. Marked by the Ember Crown Ascendant, a force tied to an ancient archetype, Theo is both a vessel and a weapon. But this power is volatile, and as he struggles to conceal his true identity, he realizes that the truth itself is dangerous. His "family"—Gregory and Lily—cling to the illusion that their son is still the boy they knew, but cracks are forming. And as the silent weight of his deception grows, so too does the peril that lurks in the shadows. Haunted by a past that isn’t his and hunted by forces beyond his understanding, Theo must navigate a world where fate is bound to the stars and power demands sacrifice. But when the time comes to choose—to embrace his role as a harbinger of fire or carve his own path—will he be able to escape the chains of destiny?

However, despite being naive about her past, memories keep flashing in her head if someone provokes her to madness. Harming people would not be enough but it would definitely send them to death! Despite her situation, Wu Xiuxin wanted to go back to school, hoping that it could help her to bring back the memories that she lost a year ago. On the other hand, Madam Lu, who took accountability to her, asked for her help in exchange for her benevolence. And that is to look after her son who will become the heir of their said company. Later found out that he was involved in any illegal actions. And that is what Madam Lu wanted, to let him quit from any of it and let Wu Xiuxin befriend him, persuading him to do good things and make amends with her mother. But the moment she realized about him she couldn’t believe that the person she was assigned to look after was the person who would cause her hell and somewhat change her life. —— Xu Yuan, frightened every student he met. Despite being a troublemaker and having terrible behaviour, Xiu Yan was still able to convince and be loved foolishly by many students on campus. An unfazed and gloomy girl named Wu Xiuxin walked across the hallway without noticing the people gathering around. Her natural eyes were sharp as if it had an intent of causing harm to people that made Xu Yuan feel uncomfortable. Xu Yuan didn’t hesitate to use his foot to block her way, which caused her to fall and made an entire student in the hallway burst in laughter. Wu Xiuxin couldn’t fathom why he did humiliate her. One person lent his hand towards her but she didn’t take it. Instead, she stood with no expression at all and with full strength she raised her clenched fist and directly threw a huge blow on Xiu Yuan’s face. The students who gathered clearly saw the ridiculous scene unfold before their eyes. “Miss Wu, you will be sent to Class 12!” said the principal, after the trouble she did. Xiu Yuan and Wu Xiuxin have finally met their path once again. But why does the girl suspiciously want to be part of his group of friends? “Miss Wu, aren't you straight? ‘Cause you look cool the way you move and dress up is not like what a typical girl should be,” one of Xiu Yan’s friends remarked. “Is that so? Thank you but I’m straight.” Wu Xiuxin replied. “Miss Wu, do you uhm…” “What?” “D—Do you like girls?” “It’s up to you to think.” “Miss Wu, you can have girl friends from the other class but why do you want to be part of a group of boys?” another one asked. “Because it’s more fun together with boys.” “Miss Wu, I don’t think we have to get you to be part of the boys. Before you become part of us you still have to pass our initiation.” “Really, what is it and when?” “We torture people and only those who can survive from our bloody initiation will pass.” “Sounds great,” she commented with no expression at all. All of them looked at each other dumbfounded by her response.

When they tell you that history repeats itself, you should at least expect some details to change. But no, in our case, things went exactly as they did the first time: a crack in the sky, a couple of monsters a bit taller than usual, and a myriad of people who, for some reason, were surprised. Because who, honestly, wouldn't have bet on a good demon invasion every few hundred years? Although, to be fair, this time the causes are much clearer. Man always finds new ways to destroy himself. If the first time the solution came in the form of a shy librarian who unknowingly found the key to stopping the end of the world, this time it came in the form of a weak and hungry boy, who would have preferred to destroy it rather than save it. Let me ask you a question: who said that magic was reserved for muscular and dramatic warriors? No, my friends, true salvation, this time, doesn't come from paper, scrolls, and the patience of a genius, but from hunger, fear, and the will not to give up on your fate.

Teleportation, is the ability to transport oneself from place to another without any obstruction, also the ability to transport people from one place to another. Telekinesis, the ability to move objects, items, and things, and also the ability to stop, slow, and bring back time. This Super Humans began to multiply, handling positions in governments and making decisions, and not long they became head of government. Our Human Nation was now ruled by Trybots they called the new nation  the Red Nation, they built their own city with well advanced Technology, Good Health Care Facilities, and Good Education. Only Trybots were allowed to live in the city,  and only the Humans who were Trybot slaves and worked for the Trybots, were allowed to live in the city. The other Humans lived outside the city, and were known as commoners.

While his arms were chained and wrists were slit, one thing became immediately clear: Life meant betrayal. Betrayal meant death. It was in those cold confines did it finally became clear to him; There was no such thing as a 'hero' - only a villain with the perception of his own growth. They knew or cared not for the troubles of those who were actually suffering due to their actions. And thus, with the appearance of a shadowy stranger, once more was he granted the curse of living. This time, he wouldn't make the same mistake. Even if it killed him, he'd slaughter every individual who dared to wrong him. ----------------------------------- Written for WSA 25.
