《Untold Destiny》15. Abhay
Advertisement
It is rightly said that distance brings you closer. As Divya returned home after leaving Abhishek at the airport, she felt incomplete. It was as if she had left a part of her somewhere else. She sighed and went to her room and laid down for a sleepless night.
On the other hand, Abhishek's situatuon was no better. For his entire journey, from Mumbai airport to his hotel room in Bangalore, he kept on thinking about his wife's words, "" He remembered the hug they shared. He felt contended and incomplete at the same time. Contended, because he had managed to find a place in his wife's heart and incomplete because his wife and daughter approximately 980 kilometers away from him.
He reached the hotel room at around midnight. Changing into comfortable clothes, he laid down on the bed and looked at Divya and Diya's photos and soon fell asleep.
Abhishek woke up early in the morning. He freshened up and picked up his phone to call Divya. As he unlocked it, he realized that it was only 5 AM. He sighed. It was too early to call. He locked his room and went to the hotel garden for a walk but was soon sitting there on a bench, looking at his wife's photo, lost in the beauty of her face.
His trance was broken by a stranger, who settled beside him on the bench and asked, "" Abhishek was about to reply in positive, when he felt that a stranger need not know the truth. He replied, "" Saying so, he looked at the stranger and was shocked to the core. He was Abhay, Divya's ex husband.
No matter how old and mature you are, the moment you meet the ex of the love of your life, your maturity is gone. The feeling of jealousy takes over your heart. The same happened with Abhishek. He knew Divya hated this man, he knew, she would never go back to him, yet he felt jealous. Then he remembered how he had left Diya, he felt angry. Oh! how he wished to kill Abhay.

Unaware of his thoughts, Abhay said, "" Abhishek replied curtly, "" Abhay laughed, "" Abhishek's blood boiled at the statement. He said, "a flight attendant who died while saving passengers from terrorists on board a hijacked airplane. Shakuntala Devi was an Indian prodigy who holds a record in the Guinness Book for being able to do insanely large mental calculations. Razia Sultana, who was the first and the last female monarch of the Delhi Sultanate, is also known as a brilliant monarch. Remember how in 2017, everyone had gone crazy as the Indian Women's cricket team reached the finals in the World Cup. Ever watched the movie Dangal or Mary Kom. Mary Kom, "
Abhishek took a deep breath and continued, ""
Abhishek got up and walked back to his room. He felt disgusted. How can people think so? Why do they think so? People want mother, wife, sister, girlfriend, daughter-in-law, but not a daughter. What an irony!

Paul choose to fight for survival, now he has to face off against predatory animals, monsters, and even the land itself all modified by the Mana System. Eventually, he will have to face off against a foe even deadlier than the rest. Humans! I feel I need to add this disclaimer because some people really get their panties in a twist when they reach the second arc. This is not a grimdark story. Yes, there are portions that are dark and grim, including slavery which is why I have the traumatizing content box checked. If you can't stomach a little slavery and torture, probably best to find a different story to read. Complaining that you felt lied to isn't going to make me change my story. If this offends you, leave a review.

The Cyclical Nature of Time
A girl’s life ends unexpectedly early, or so it would seem. Instead of eternal nothingness, she wakes up in an empty valley with no clue how she got there. Taking her predicament in stride, she sets out to do something about it. Unfortunately for her, the first couple of people she meets aren’t much help. They claim they haven’t heard of electricity and dress as if they were on a break from their job at a Viking-themed amusement park. MC is a somewhat normal girl. She's pragmatic and not very angsty. The story is tagged with anti-hero, but to be clear, she is not a villain. She does good if she can, she just isn't morally motivated to do so. The story starts out smelling of fantasy but will eventually shift towards sci-fi. It contains some supernatural elements and has a strong lead, but it is not your usual power trip. Expect a story that takes its time, but not to the point where entire chapters are spent on mindless chit-chat. I’m not into that. This is my first serious attempt at writing and I've learnt a lot writing this. Unfortunately, that shows. Chapter 1-10 is slow and rather pointless. Things get better, but it is not until chapter 25 or so that I began understanding how to structure chapters and to make them support the larger story. I publish about 3000 words a week (every sunday) but I write about 10000 words a week. Sticking to that pace, which is easy, the last chapter will be out by July.

The Shards of Sylvia's Soul
In the little village of Nyberg, Sylvia is dreaming of a future with Rebecca at her side. Together, they could move overseas. But when bandits attack, all of her tender dreams turn to ashes. Forced out of her home, Sylvia forges new bonds with the Fri, the women who have taken it upon themselves to protect their little corner of the world. She also meets Afi, a strange bandit with a stern face and a soft heart. Saving each other from certain demise, they join in a bond which irreversibly ties their souls together. So bonded, they attempt to settle down. When a distant heir to the Crown asks for aid to reunite the country, Sylvia sees her chance to finally right all the wrongs committed against her family. In the pursuit of the throne, Afi and Sylvia come to risk their very lives. Sylvia uncovers the relationship between soul, magic, and divinity itself, but even in research, there is peril. It is not an easy task to balance the strain on her soul with the demands of the upcoming battle. In this world, the soul is not an incorporeal concept. To the contrary, the human soul is a physical object, an organ which resides in the chest of each individual. It is a great source of strength, but also of vulnerability. Hardship can leave scratches and blemishes, or even break the soul in two. The soul is each person's connection to divinity, to the magic which is ubiquitous to the world. It enables the cultivation of gods, but old legends warn of demons emerging in the presence of corrupt intention, and of hollow warriors, with no soul at all. There are two sides to every page. Update ScheduleNew chapters are in the works. ScopeThree to four books in total are planned.Book 1: "Fri Women" Chapters 1-64. Find the paperback and e-book here.
