rise of the brave tangled dragons

For as long as he can remember, Ashwin Lockwood has been haunted by dreams—dark waters, silver eyes, a whisper of something lurking just beneath the surface. But dreams are just dreams… until his boyfriend, Dr. Hayden Hayes, vanishes without a trace. Mount Haven is the kind of town where people don’t just disappear. And yet, they are. Then comes Ishaan Arthava—a stranger too mesmerizing to ignore who offers to help Ashwin search for Hayden. Ishaan always there, always watching. Too close. Too familiar. And when he says Ashwin’s name, it feels like a memory he can’t reach. And then the bodies start appearing. The deeper Ashwin is drawn into Ishaan’s orbit, the more his reality fractures. His world—his past, his future, his very identity—is slipping through his fingers like water. Sweet, steady Hayden. Deadly, intoxicating Ishaan. One is missing. One is inevitable. One holds his heart. The other holds his fate. But some bonds are too strong to break. And Ashwin’s destiny with Ishaan? It was never a choice. WARNING: 18+ , Hints of Omegaverse. THREAD CAREFULLY.

"I heard that you agreed to marry that dog.", Alaric hissed, still trying to handle the news that he came to know early morning. "Leave me, blood-sucking leech," Moana growled angrily, but not once did she try to fight with him when he had caged her between the walls and him. "First answer me, why did you say YES?" "To move on in my life. You rejected me by saying that ‘you’re worth more than a one-night stand’. So, here I am, planning for my marriage, having a family, and most importantly, to get over my attraction for you." The next thing, she knew, Alaric’s ice-cold lips crashed against her warm lips, like ice against fire. He expected a slap for kissing her without permission, but instead, she kissed him back. * * Moana and Alaric agreed to a one-night stand when they couldn’t ignore their attraction for one another, but before they could have gone ahead as per their plan, Theodore, Alaric’s best friend, and Moana’s brother-in-law interfered, warning Alaric to stay away from her. Alaric swore not to break his friend’s trust and ignored Moana like the plague, but his patience snapped when he learned that she was getting married. At the same time, Moana was irked by Alaric’s loyalty toward Theodore’s friendship. She tried to move on from the little attraction that she had for him, only to find him acting like a possessive Alpha male even when he was a vampire. * Follow me on ‘authorsprachi12’ for updates.

Akiyama, seorang anak yang lahir dengan tanda mata aneh, dibesarkan dalam kesendirian setelah dikucilkan oleh desanya. Sejak lahir, dunia tempat tinggalnya telah dilanda tragedi besar, dan banyak yang percaya bahwa Akiyama adalah pertanda buruk. Namun, di dalam dirinya tersimpan kekuatan legendaris: kekuatan Phoenix yang tak terkalahkan. Dalam perjalanannya, Akiyama bertemu dengan berbagai sekutu dan musuh: Yumi, sahabatnya yang lembut dengan kemampuan penyembuhan; Ryu, pendekar angin yang dingin; Kohaku, bangsawan terbuang yang ahli dalam manipulasi cahaya dan kegelapan; dan Hikaru, si pemberontak yang menguasai api. Masing-masing memiliki kekuatan unik, tetapi juga terikat oleh masa lalu yang kelam. Di sisi lain, Akiyama menghadapi ancaman dari Ren, pemimpin Klan Kurogane yang berkemampuan telekinesis dan menggalang pemberontakan melawan kerajaan. Di balik semua konflik ini, sosok misterius Tsubaki selalu muncul, memperingatkan bahwa takdir mereka sudah tertulis. Namun, ancaman terbesar datang dari Zerathos, Raja Iblis yang telah lama tersegel. Ketika segel Zerathos mulai melemah, kegelapan merambah dunia, dan hanya Akiyama, dengan kekuatan Phoenix-nya yang masih belum sepenuhnya terbangkitkan, yang bisa menghentikan kehancuran total. Akiyama berdiri di atas tebing, melihat ke kejauhan. Akiyama: "Apa yang sebenarnya terjadi saat aku lahir? Kenapa aku... kenapa aku harus memiliki kekuatan ini?" Yumi muncul dari belakangnya, tersenyum lembut. Yumi: "Kekuatanmu adalah harapan terakhir dunia, Akiyama. Kau harus percaya pada dirimu." Ryu dengan tangan terlipat, mendekat tanpa memandangnya. Ryu: "Berhenti meragukan dirimu. Zerathos sudah mulai bergerak. Jika kau tidak bertindak sekarang, kita semua akan hancur." Hikaru mendekat, dengan api kecil berkobar di tangannya. Hikaru: "Kalau kau terlalu lama berpikir, aku akan menghadapi Zerathos sendiri! Tapi... jangan salah... aku tidak akan kalah darimu!" Akiyama menatap langit, merasa berat dengan takdir yang harus dihadapinya. Bayangan Zerathos mulai muncul dari balik awan. Akiyama: "Zerathos... Aku akan menghentikanmu, bagaimanapun caranya. Ini adalah nasibku." ---
