The Search
Though decades have passed since the war between Eluria and Rurdinia, both countries refuse to see one another as anything but latent enemies. A Rurdinian soldier's unexpected encounter in an old lighthouse leads Zuri, an Elurian orphan, to be taken in by his family. Instead of using her presence in their family to heal old scars and prejudices left behind after the war, Zuri grows up surrounded by people who refuse to see her as anything but a threat and a lingering nuisance. But when Zuri receives tantalizing gossip about her malicious uncle's long-absent son, Bakar, she makes a reckless decision that changes her life forever. Alongside her royal, half-Elurian mentor, Zuri begins learning about her magic-laden birthplace while searching for acceptance as an Elurian and purpose away from her family. Eventually, a cruel, unexpected twist of fate starts her on a new, urgent, and challenging search alongside a disagreeable companion that takes Zuri far past Rurdinia's borders to find an old Elurian cure to a lethal illness. Can Zuri and Bakar figure out how to work together to put an end to their search?

bloom | scorbus
Love is fragile. Rarely, it's fleeting. Albus knew the feeling very well. He held his adoration for his best friend - Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy - in his hand like a small, glass structure. If he were to slip or fall, it would shatter like a firework. He held on carefully; protecting it like it were a small, injured bird. Albus' heart often felt like that - a small, unprotected entity.He'd been foolish to believe that love was safe. It bloomed in his chest; a stupid, frilly flower that hardly hesitated to kill him from the inside out. One single action could fix his issue - he needed to tell Scorpius how he felt. Honestly, when paralleled with those two haunting decisions, he preferred to let the flowers bloom.

This is my truth
My life has been an intense journey from a little girl who was beaten down and abused into believing that she was worthless, to a woman at 43 years of age who is still desperately searching for who she truly is. I found her though. I did. And she writes like me, from inside of me. She is me. This girl that I've been in love with since time first existed, is indeed me. The way that she walks. With her hands... and how she talks? The hearts that she's captured, the souls that she has inspired. I'm now trying to be her. I've never felt that I was good enough to actually be myself!!! I always knew how pure and clear and free I was inside. But people told me otherwise, in a very cruel way. No one ever spared my feelings or thought to speak to me with kindness or love. My parents were very serious and strict people. They believed that there was only 1 way to act and inside I knew that I did NOT fit in the parameters of the behavior expected of me. And every single time I made my Step Daddy sigh or frown it felt like I knife in my heart. I was a let down. Always too loud. Always moving too much. Always too fat and always too ugly. Always too much. Unless I sat quietly. But I've always been a firecracker and all of that containment really made me want to blow off! All of what was inside of me, swirling and dividing in me. Burying the side of me that I loved the most! I was a bastard and a blasphemy. Harsh words for a girl of 3. They said them when they baptized me.

Shadows of cats danced like stars within the thick undergrowth of the dark forest, long claws glinted like blades in the cold moonlight. And then, suddenly, the silence was broken only by the frightening screeches of the warriors, clawing and biting eachother like cruel lions and tigers. In the middle of the battle, A strong brown tom snarled at a smaller, weaker cat. "You puny cat shouldn't have entered our territory!" The ashy colored cat struggled to find breath, "I-i'm sorry i-" His sentence was stopped by Mothpaw's long claw scraping at him like a knife, leaving a sharp scar running down the left side of his face.
