With each challenge she faces, her bond with the Crown Prince grows stronger, transcending the boundaries of their roles as trainer and trainee. Together, Merliah and the Crown Prince must navigate a treacherous labyrinth of high-stakes competitions, cunning adversaries, and their own burgeoning emotions. As they uncover the true intentions behind the Thievery Games, they find themselves at the forefront of a rebellion against the oppressive forces that have held Aekrodia captive.

Amidst the heart-pounding heists, perilous escapades, and the blossoming romance between Merliah and the Crown Prince, they must summon their collective wits, skills, and courage to save their kingdom from impending doom. The fate of Aekrodia rests in their hands as they set out on an exhilarating quest to rewrite the rules, defy expectations, and reclaim their rightful place as the heroes of their own captivating tale.

Merliah's journey takes an unexpected turn when she becomes the unlikely protégé of none other than the esteemed Crown Prince himself. In a surprising twist of destiny, the Crown Prince assumes the role of her mentor, guiding her through the intricacies of the Games and unlocking her hidden potential.

In the enchanting realm of Aekrodia, Merliah Verlice finds herself ensnared by the relentless grip of the Royal Guard following a botched heist.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the writers here that are moms! We appreciate you!

I’ll wrap my arms tight ‘round you Feel your strength, tried and true A better world is here for us But only in a moment, only once And when it’s gone, it’s gone for good So let’s reach the moon And play the world to our own tune For our lives are now to live and give To share and be there So, let’s reach the moon

Let’s reach the moon together My mood’s light tonight Lighter than a feather My mind is alight In the clouds for you It’s a lovely view And maybe when I find a place Together that we can face

My love Shining above Your true love arrow pierced my heart My emotions and feelings they scattered apart My love Your warmth my coldness’s glove You gave me the strength to carry on And now your gone But I know, My love That you shine up above And I keep your memory safe until I see you again And then… My love for you Will shine through

When I cry Tears roll down I weep and I sigh I frown When I cry it’s hard to breathe I feel myself seethe My lungs heave I remember how you took your leave You didn’t call and didn’t text You left me to bawl and now you’re vexed What did I I do? Please explain to me When I cry I feel myself die Little by little So please explain Why I feel This endless pain And maybe then When I cry It won’t hurt so bad Because I won’t feel as sad

If you saw my Tale of # Daughters stories, should I make stories about them, with tales being like the foreground? Should I make one about the air/sky? Should they be in one story? Just curious. Thanks, Addy

Elfa controlled death and sickness Faira controlled the animals and made sure balance was kept Sprit controlled the streams and flowers Nymphis controlled the forests and woodlands Pixia controlled the plants and mischief Other roles were shared amongst them Each daughter’s descendants carried on their roles Mortals knew little of their existence

Once upon a time, there lived a handsome young immortal who created the land He desired finding a woman for himself to love He fell in love with a mortal woman and they had six semi-mortal daughters together The mortal woman died Landis loved his daughters very much, and decided to give each daughter a job to do on the land he created He became a mortal, so that he could die, and meet his wife in the afterlife Each daughter was assigned a role on the land:

Once upon a time, there lived a beautiful maiden immortal who created the ocean She fell in love with a land-mortal, and they had four semi-mortal daughters together The mortal man died In her grief, Oceana was left alone with four daughters far more beautiful than her, and each desired to find a land-dweller to love In her grief and jealousy, Oceana cursed her daughters:

Syra was cursed with her voice Mermia was cursed with false beauty Nixian was cursed with broken wings Kelpis was cursed with no true form All four daughters came together and killed Oceana Afterwards, they went their separate ways, creating different kingdoms and waters, cursed to wander the waters, never allowed to see the land-dwellers, or fall in love with them

Your love was my first I thought my heart would burst You gave me time and space You set a proper pace Your love was right You held me tight We didn’t fight I never felt your smite But I gave you up I don’t know why Your love I meant to sup But now you’re gone—I sigh I miss you I want to kiss you But now you’re gone My life with you did dawn Goodbye my love

I tried to call your name I was suffocating My desperate thoughts I tried to tame The heavy thrall was overtaking A weight lifted My mind shifted You pulled me up You overfilled my thirsting cup And now I live What should I give To the one who brought me a new life The one who saved me from my strife I tried to repay debts But now I’m left with deep regrets I tried to thank you for the life you gave The person you chose to save But now you’re gone I’m left alone I tried—you saved me

Memories can be bitter-sweet Feeling cold and vile can relinquish love and heat But through it all We must stand tall And face the cold and bitter gall with gold hearts that never fall To the deepest depths of sadness and sorrow Holding out with gladness for a better morrow

Sadness is—in its own form—gladness. Minds are their own kind of raging storm Feeling is deceiving So what is being sad? Sorrow for the morrow? Tears through the harder years? A better life, yet filled with strife? To be true, there is not one answer The answer is deep in the heart, head, and soul—inside of you

This is an excerpt from my new collection of poems. Tell me what you think, please: Hearts break False vows we make The truth is There is….no true love kiss No happy ending We claw at others—defending Our minds are bending At the whim When we skim Life’s true game And we aim To find the truth Hidden behind our playful couth

I have some new stories—well, poems—to be read. Tell me what you think! Thanks, Addy
