A world where mythical creatures ruled the land. Where humans and magic beings sometimes worked harmoniously together, and other times, quite the opposite. A world where spirits could be helpers of the household or powerful enough to bring the dead back to life. Where elves could be as tall as the tallest man or as small as a human child. Where plants grew tenaciously despite human interference, some possessing the ability to heal burns in an instant while others could kill a horse with just one drop of its essence. A world in which some fish could fly and some birds lived in the depths of volcanoes. In a world of pure magic and uniqueness there lived an extremely average woman. At the age of 25, Caeli was the most ordinary person that existed. At least she believed so. With long auburn hair, tan skin, and chocolate brown eyes, she felt she was the most ordinary being to walk the planet. She would lead an ordinary existence until the day she died. Or so she thought. Until one day when a horde of angry villagers cast her out of her home and she begins a journey to find a place where she belongs. On her journey she will discover things about herself she never knew, make friends she has never had, and meet the most powerful dragons known to the world she was born into. Suddenly immersed in a world of magic, go with Caeli to places unknown, discover a love forbidden and a magic forgotten.

His face drew nearer and nearer until our nose touched Are you sure, he asked. Sure about what, I asked . I gasped when he wrapped his hands around my waist. "Sure you don't like me",he asked as his gaze moved to my lips, my heart beating fast. "uh..n..yes", I said as a whisper. ,"then let me test you",he said and this time his lips brushed against mine. just kiss me already, I finally told him. Crushing our lips together, but breaking it immediately. you lose the test, he said smirking. but dont think I'm letting you go with that ordinary kiss, cause I'm not ordinary. he said as he came close again. with his breath on my face.

Cycles of Balance: Price of Equilibrium (A story from the Petals of Timelessness multiverse) Once a cosmic architect of balance — a will beyond flesh and gender — now bound in a mortal shell with only a fragment of its power. A philosophical dark fantasy of choices and sacrifice, centered on the slow-burn tension of an impossible metaphysical connection between this cosmic architect and a mortal woman —one bound by logic, the other the anomaly who may be its undoing. The story begins at the Academy of Duality — ground zero for the reality-breaking anomaly OD must fix: an impossible love born when one soul was wished into this world from another. Here, as in all of Valtheim, rivalries, hidden cults, and fragile alliances test the limits of logic and control. Yet the Academy is only the beginning. In Price of Equilibrium, Arta Nox turns her focus from the external anomaly to her internal one: her "Unique Variable," Catherine Holu. Impartial analysis grows ever more difficult as the web of events tightens—threatening not only Illumora, but the Architect’s own perfect structure. A dark, reflective fantasy about the cost of order, the fragility of perfection, and the dangerous question of whether balance can ever truly exist.
