Forbidden Love’s Melody/ The Secret Love of Batsheva Xalu

So this took about 5 months to make because I wanted the song to be perfect for this story cause I love the characters I created.

Batsheva Xalu had always known that her love for Helios Umetris was not something that her family or the Kingdom of IceHollow would accept. Helios was not the same race as Batsheva, and their union would be seen as a betrayal. However, Batsheva’s heart belonged to Helios, and she was willing to risk everything to be with him.

Despite the danger, Batsheva and Helios had been secretly married for months, and Batsheva had kept their relationship hidden from everyone, even her own family. Batsheva knew that if her family knew about Helios, they would do everything to keep them apart.

One day, Batsheva was practicing her water manipulation near the shores of the Kingdom when she began to sing. Her voice was as enchanting as ever, and the melody echoed across the water, drawing in listeners from far and wide. As she sang, Batsheva poured all of her love and longing into her words, weaving a tale of a forbidden love that could not be contained.
As the song reached its climax, Batsheva revealed the truth about her husband, Helios, and how she had kept their love a secret from everyone. She poured her heart and soul into the lyrics, hoping that someone would understand the depth of her feelings and the sacrifices she had made for love.

As her song came to an end, Batsheva’s voice trailed off, and the Kingdom was silent. Everyone who had heard her knew that something significant had just happened. Batsheva looked around, hoping to catch a glimpse of her beloved Helios, but he was nowhere to be found. Unknown to Batsheva, Helios had been watching her from afar, listening to every word of her song. He knew their love was not accepted, but he also knew it was worth fighting for. Helios stepped out from his hiding place, and as he approached Batsheva, the Kingdom watched in silence.

Batsheva turned around, and when she saw Helios, her heart skipped a beat. The two of them locked eyes and Batsheva knew that no matter the consequences, she would fight for their love with every breath in her body. The Kingdom may not understand or accept their love, but Batsheva knew that love was stronger than any barrier that could be put in its way.

Here’s the song. All thanks to my Art friend Makayla

Verse 1:
My heart beats fast, my love is true,
But our love’s forbidden, what can we do?
He’s from a different race, they won’t understand,
We’ll have to keep it secret, just between us, hand in hand.

Chorus:
Oh, my Helios, my love, my light,
I’ll keep you hidden, out of sight,
I’ll sing this song, my love for you,
And hope someday, they’ll see it’s true.

Verse 2:
We stole away, in the dead of night,
Our love was worth the risk, worth the fight,
I’ll keep you safe, from their prying eyes,
And hold you close, until the end of time.

Chorus:
Oh, my Helios, my love, my light,
I’ll keep you hidden, out of sight,
I’ll sing this song, my love for you,
And hope someday, they’ll see it’s true.

Bridge:
I know it’s hard, to keep it all inside,
But I’ll do anything, to have you by my side,
Our love’s a flame, that cannot be contained,
And I’ll keep burning bright, even if it’s in the rain.

Chorus:
Oh, my Helios, my love, my light,
I’ll keep you hidden, out of sight,
I’ll sing this song, my love for you,
And hope someday, they’ll see it’s true.

Outro:
Oh, my Helios, my love, my light,
I’ll keep you hidden, out of sight,
But I know, in my heart of hearts,
That our love will never be torn apart.

The Scorpio Prohibition: A Kingdom Governed by Dread

Once upon a time, in a kingdom far, far away, there lived a king named Edric. King Edric was a just and fair ruler, but he had one deep-seated fear: Scorpios. The king had been bitten by a Scorpio when he was young, and ever since then, he had an intense fear of them.

As time passed, King Edric’s fear of Scorpios turned into paranoia. He started to believe that Scorpios were a menace to society and needed to be eliminated. So he passed a law that outlawed all Scorpios from entering the kingdom. If anyone found a Scorpio within the kingdom’s walls, they were to be handed over to the authorities, who would burn them alive.

The people of the kingdom were initially reluctant to comply with the king’s law, but they soon began to fear the consequences of defying it. They started to hunt down and turn in anyone they suspected of being a Scorpio, and soon, the kingdom was free of all Scorpios.

King Edric knew that his law was cruel, but he was convinced that it was necessary to keep his people safe. He addressed his subjects to make the law official, and his voice trembled with fear and anger as he spoke.

“My dear subjects,” he began, “I know that this law may seem harsh, but I assure you that it is for your own protection. Scorpios are dangerous creatures, and they pose a grave threat to our way of life. We cannot afford to take any chances with them. Therefore, I decree that all Scorpios within our walls must be handed over to the authorities immediately, or face the consequences of their actions.”

The people of the kingdom nodded solemnly, believing their king’s words. They trusted him to keep them safe, and if he said that Scorpios were dangerous, then it must be true.

However, little did they know that King Edric’s fear and paranoia were clouding his judgment. He was blind to the fact that not all Scorpios were evil and that his law was causing innocent people to suffer and die.

The kingdom was now a place where fear and suspicion reigned supreme, and the people lived in constant terror of the king’s wrath. It was a dark time for the kingdom, and it seemed as though there was no hope for a brighter future.

The Void Between Us

Mariana took a deep breath before knocking on Aster’s door. She knew that she had hurt Aster deeply and didn’t know how she would react to seeing her again.

As Aster opened the door, Mariana could see the irritation in her eyes. “What the hell are you doing here?” Aster asked coldly.

Mariana swallowed hard, trying to hold back her tears. “I know I hurt you, Aster. And I’m so sorry. I just needed to see you and talk to you. Please,” she begged, “let me explain.”

Aster’s heart was racing as she listened to Mariana’s words. She wanted to push her away and never see her again, but there was a part of her that couldn’t resist Mariana’s presence. “Fine,” she said reluctantly, “come in.”

Mariana entered Aster’s room and sat on the bed, nervously fidgeting with her hands. She looked up at Aster, whose expression was cold and distant.

“I know I messed up,” Mariana began, “and I don’t blame you for being angry with me. But I need you to understand that I never meant to hurt you.”

Aster scoffed, “That’s bullshit, Mariana. You knew exactly what you were doing. You played with my heart and then just left me without any explanation.”

Mariana hung her head in shame. “I know, and I hate myself for it. But please, Aster, hear me out. I was going through a really difficult time, and I didn’t know how to handle it. I didn’t want to burden you with my problems, so I pushed you away.”

Aster’s heart ached as she listened to Mariana’s words. She knew all too well what it was like to struggle with inner demons. “I get it,” she said, her voice softer now. “But that doesn’t excuse what you did to me. You broke my heart, Mariana, and I don’t know if I can ever forgive you.”

Mariana looked up at Aster, tears streaming down her face. “I understand if you can’t forgive me,” she said. “But please, Aster, don’t let this be the end of us. I love you more than anything, and I’m willing to do whatever it takes to make things right.”

Aster’s heart was torn between her love for Mariana and the pain she had caused her. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, trying to calm the turmoil inside her. “I need some time to think,” she said finally. “But I promise you, Mariana, that I’ll consider what you’ve said.”

Mariana nodded, wiping away her tears. “Thank you, Aster. I’ll wait for you, no matter how long it takes.”

As Mariana left Aster’s room, Aster couldn’t help but feel a sense of bleakness wash over her. She didn’t know if she could ever trust Mariana again, and the thought of losing her forever was too much to bear.

Over the next few days, Aster struggled with her feelings for Mariana. She didn’t know if she could forgive her, but she also couldn’t imagine a life without her. Her heartbreak was consuming her, and she felt like she was drowning in a sea of emotions.

But amidst the pain and confusion, Aster had a realization. She realized that she was stronger than she thought she was, and that she didn’t need anyone to define her worth. She had her resilience, her strength, and she would survive this heartbreak.

Aster watched Mariana leave, feeling a mix of sadness and relief. She knew she had hurt Mariana deeply, but she also knew that she couldn’t keep stringing her along. It was time for both of them to move on.

She took a deep breath and turned back to her work, trying to focus on the tasks at hand. But her mind kept wandering back to Mariana, and she couldn’t shake off the feeling of regret.

She realized that she had been so focused on her own needs and desires that she had failed to consider Mariana’s feelings. She had been selfish and thoughtless, and now she was paying the price.

But she also realized that she had to be strong and move on. She couldn’t let this setback define her, and she couldn’t let it crush her spirit.

With a newfound sense of resilience, Aster resolved to take control of her life and her emotions. She knew it wouldn’t be easy, but she was determined to make it through.

As the days passed, Aster found herself slowly but surely moving on from Mariana. She threw herself into her work, pushing herself harder than ever before. She poured her heart and soul into every project, determined to prove to herself and the world that she was capable of greatness.

And as she worked, she felt a sense of realization wash over her. She realized that she had been searching for something that didn’t exist, something that could never be found in another person.

She had been searching for happiness outside of herself when all it had been inside her all along. She didn’t need anyone else to make her happy, she just needed to find happiness within herself.

With this newfound realization, Aster felt a sense of peace wash over her. She knew that no matter what life threw her way, she would always be able to find the strength to overcome it.

And so, she continued to work hard and push herself to new heights. She never forgot about Mariana and the lessons she had learned from their relationship, but she knew that it was time to move forward and focus on herself.

Mariana sat in her car, staring blankly ahead as she waited for Aster to return. Her heart was heavy with a mix of emotions – disappointment, anger, and sadness. She couldn’t believe Aster had stood her up yet again.

The minutes ticked by, turning into hours, and Mariana’s mind began to spiral. Doubts and insecurities crept in, wondering if Aster had intentionally ditched her or if something had happened to her. The bleakness of the situation consumed her, and she couldn’t help but feel like she was being punished for caring too much.

Heartbreak washed over her in waves as she remembered all the times Aster had promised to be there for her but had let her down. She had given Aster so many chances, hoping that this time would be different, but it seemed like she was always left disappointed. Regret weighed heavily on her too, for allowing herself to get hurt over and over again by someone who didn’t seem to value her as much as she did them.

As she sat there, lost in her thoughts, Mariana knew she needed to let go. She couldn’t keep putting herself through this pain and disappointment, and it was time to move on. A sense of clarity washed over her, and she knew what she had to do. She took a deep breath, wiped away her tears, and started her car, ready to drive away from the heartbreak and onto a new chapter of her life.

Reflections of Darkness story/conversation

Mixaku: (looking at their reflection) Some people are simply better than others…

Evil Reflection: (smirking wickedly) And you think you’re one of them, motherfucker?

Mixaku: (nodding defiantly) Yeah, I do. I’ve worked my ass off to get where I am, and I’m not gonna let anyone take that away from me.

Evil Reflection: (laughing cruelly) Oh, but they will. You’re not as invincible as you think you are. Sooner or later, you’re gonna fall, and you’re gonna fall hard.

Mixaku: (angrily) Shut the fuck up! I’m not afraid of failure.

Evil Reflection: (smirking wickedly) Oh, but you are. You’re fucking terrified of it. You’ll do anything to avoid it, even if it means hurting the people around you.

Mixaku: (realizing the truth) No… that’s not who I am.

Evil Reflection: (grinning maliciously) Oh, but it is. You’re a fucking monster, just like me.

Mixaku: (breaking down) No… I can’t be like you.

Evil Reflection: (laughing cruelly) But you are. And you always will be.

Mixaku: (defeated) What do I do now?

Evil Reflection: (smiling wickedly) Embrace me. Embrace the darkness within you. Become the fucking monster you were meant to be.

Mixaku: (hesitating) No… there has to be another way.

Evil Reflection: (mockingly) Oh, but there isn’t. You’re fucking doomed. You’re gonna end up alone and miserable, just like every other sad, pathetic fucker in this world.

Mixaku: (shaken but determined) No… I won’t fucking accept that. I can change. I can be better.

And with that, Mixaku turned away from the mirror, determined to break free from the grip of their own darkness. They knew it wouldn’t be easy, but they were willing to fight for their own redemption, even if it meant facing their own worst fears. Mixaku stared at their reflection in horror, realizing that the darkness within them was stronger than they thought. Without hesitation, they grabbed a brick from the ground and threw it at the mirror, hoping to shatter the evil reflection that taunted them. To their surprise, the evil reflection caught the brick mid-air and grinned wickedly.

“You can’t get rid of me that easily,” it taunted.

Mixaku’s heart sank. They knew they couldn’t defeat the darkness within them by simply destroying the mirror. They had to face it head-on and conquer their own demons. With a heavy heart, Mixaku turned away from the mirror, determined to break free from the grip of their own darkness. They knew it wouldn’t be easy, but they were willing to fight for their own redemption, even if it meant facing their own worst fears. As Mixaku turned away from the mirror, they noticed a strange energy emanating from the reflection. The evil reflection’s pupils turned white as their sclera turned black with purple cracks, and suddenly, both Mixaku and the mirror were transported to a different place. They found themselves in a dark and eerie room, filled with shadows that seemed to come alive. The mirror now stood in front of them, but it was different. The frame was made of blackened bones, and the surface shimmered with an otherworldly light. The evil reflection cackled from within the mirror, taunting Mixaku.

“Welcome to my world,” it said. “I’ve been waiting for you.”

Mixaku’s heart raced as they realized that they had entered the realm of their own darkness. They knew that the only way out was to face their own demons and conquer them. With a deep breath, Mixaku stepped forward, ready to fight. The mirror shattered into a thousand pieces, and the darkness within them dissipated, leaving them standing alone in the dark room. Mixaku knew that they had triumphed over their own darkness, but they also knew that they would always have to keep fighting. The evil reflection was a part of them, a reminder of the darkness that lurked within. But Mixaku was no longer afraid. They knew that they had the strength to face their own demons, and that was all that mattered.

Therapy

Psychutal

Patient

Therapist: Do you blame yourself?

Patient: What?

Therapist: Well it’s quite common in this situation for a patient to feel a kind of guilt…

Patient: What situation?

Therapist: The accident! It’s very common for people to invent blame or create a causality when in reality… It was completely out of your control.

Patient: I don’t know. I mean, logically I know it wasn’t my fault, but I just can’t shake this feeling that I could have done something to prevent it.

Therapist: It’s understandable to feel that way, but remember that you’re only human and there are limits to what you can control. It’s important to focus on what you can do moving forward, rather than dwelling on the past. Have you considered talking to someone else who may have experienced something similar? It can be helpful to connect with others who can empathize and provide support.

Therapist: How are you feeling right now? Is there anything in particular that’s causing you to feel anxious or scared?

Patient: (Looking around nervously) I don’t know, I just feel like something is not right. Like there’s something or someone watching me.

Therapist: I understand. It’s not uncommon to feel uneasy when we’re discussing difficult or uncomfortable topics. But remember, you’re safe here. You can take your time and we can go at your own pace.

Patient: (Trembling) I know, I know. It’s just that… I can sense something nearby. It’s like there’s this darkness that’s closing in on me.

Therapist: (Noticing the patient’s distress) Let’s take a moment to pause and breathe. Remember to focus on your breath and try to ground yourself in the present moment. You can count to five as you inhale, hold for a few seconds, then exhale slowly.

Patient: (Taking a few deep breaths) Okay, I’ll try.

Therapist: (After a few moments of silence) How are you feeling now? Are you still sensing something nearby?

Patient: (Shaking their head) I don’t know. I still feel uneasy, like something is watching me. But maybe it’s just my imagination.

Therapist: It’s possible that your mind is playing tricks on you, especially if you’re feeling particularly vulnerable or stressed. However, if you continue to feel unsafe or threatened, it’s important that we talk about it and find ways to address those feelings. Remember that you don’t have to face these challenges alone. We can work together to find ways to cope and heal.

Therapist: Thank you for opening up and sharing with me. It takes a lot of courage to talk about difficult experiences and feelings. Is there anything else that you would like to share or discuss?

Patient: (Looking around nervously) There is something else… but I don’t know if I should say it.

Therapist: It’s okay. You don’t have to share anything that you’re not comfortable with. We can take things at your own pace.

Patient: (Taking a deep breath) Okay… there’s this creature that’s been following me. I don’t know what it is, but it’s always there, lurking in the shadows.

Psychutal: (Appearing suddenly) Ah, I see you’ve finally noticed my presence. How quaint.

Patient: (Screaming) What the hell is that?

Psychutal: (Smirking) I am a Psychutal, dear human. And you, my friend, have been a delicious source of despair and negative energy. Your fear and anxiety have been such a delightful feast for me.

Therapist: (Standing up and facing the Psychutal) Who are you? What do you want?

Psychutal: (Chuckling) I want nothing but to consume the negative emotions and thoughts of your patient here. And I must say, they have been quite the delectable meal. You humans are so fascinatingly fragile, so easily broken.

Therapist: (Trying to stay calm) How can we help the patient break free from your influence?

Psychutal: (Mockingly) Help? Oh, dear, there is no helping this one. We have complete control now, completely consumed by our power. And soon, you too shall succumb to our influence. It’s only a matter of time.

Patient: (Whimpering) What do I do? How do I get rid of it?

Therapist: (Holding the patient’s hand) We will find a way, together. We will not let this creature control you or anyone else. You are not alone, and we will work to find ways to help you heal and overcome this challenge.

Therapist: (Speaking calmly to the patient) Stay with me, don’t lose focus. (Secretly presses a button under the desk)

Suddenly, the doors burst open and a team of security guards rush in, armed with weapons designed to ward off supernatural entities. The Psychutal hisses and screeches, lashing out at the guards with its dark powers, but the guards are well-trained and well-prepared, holding their ground and fighting back with all their might. The therapist stands back, watching in awe and horror as the battle unfolds. They had not expected it to come to this, but they knew that they had to protect their patient at all costs.

In the end, the guards emerge victorious, the Psychutal vanishing in a cloud of smoke and ash. But the victory is bittersweet, for the therapist had been struck down in the melee, succumbing to the wounds inflicted by the demon. As the patient looks on in shock and horror, the security guards rush to the therapist’s side, trying desperately to save their life. But it is too late, and the therapist takes their last breath, leaving behind a legacy of compassion, courage, and sacrifice.

The patient is left to mourn their loss, but they also know that the therapist had given their lives to protect them from the dark forces that threatened their very soul. And at that moment, they realize that they too have the power to fight back, to stand up against the demons that seek to destroy us all. The patient watches in horror as the Psychutal returns, seemingly more powerful than before. It attacks the security guards with renewed fury, unleashing a wave of dark energy that wipes them all out in a single blast. The patient is the only one left standing, and they know that they are in grave danger. The Psychutal turns to them, its eyes glowing with a sickly green light.

Psychutal: (Smiling wickedly) Ah, the final course. Did you really think you could get rid of us? We’re not like the rest of my race. Two minds were born into this one body. You have been a delightful snack, but I think I’ll keep you around a little longer. You’re just too much fun to let go.

The patient trembles with fear, knowing that they are no match for the demon.
