Il costruttore di pietre parlanti.Jorge non immaginava che sarebbero arrivati a lui, lontano dalla sua isola, o forse li aspettava in silenzio. Toledo era avvolta da una fitta nebbia e le sacerdotesse erano già sotto la chiesa di san Roman, li per uccidere l'ultimo costruttore di pietre parlanti. Il segreto del tempio di IblaMajor doveva rimanere sepolto sotto i giardini della collina sacra. Le sacerdotesse di Venere - sin dalla notte dei tempi - custodivano un mistero che non poteva essere violato. Ora più che mai la verità poteva essere svelata e i figli di Jorge - Bianca e Ruggero - stavano scoprendo qualcosa: il Pervirgilium Veneris nascondeva la mappa della città antica che portava alla cripta del tempio, dove era custodita la prima pietra parlante.Una storia lunga secoli, un lungo viaggio dalle terre di Siria, passando per Creta fino all'isola del sole. La Sicilia, e poi la Spagna. Un popolo, i Calcidesi, che trovano un luogo dove fondare la loro nuova città sopra la pietra nera. La città di Venere. Ma un oscuro oracolo annuncia la tragedia che si ripete ormai da millenni e che può cancellerà per sempre la memoria dell'acropoli e forse l'intera isola di Tifeo. La Trinacria. Nessuno poteva immaginare che il custode del tempio avesse guidato - in segreto -gli uomini e le donne del suo tempo alla conoscenza della pietra di fuoco che i calcidesi portarono dall'antica Damasco, ora che lui non è più tra i vivi.Tra profumi di gelsomino e antiche pietre - nei sotterranei delle città nascoste del mediterraneo - una storia che racconta - attraversando il tempo - il conflitto tra le sacerdotesse di Venere e gli uomini giusti, una storia d'amore che supera gli ostacoli della memoria, la scoperta di una città nascosta che sta per perdere per sempre la sua identità e che solo un sacrificio può svelare. IblaMajor può riemergere dall'oblio.…

When you spend most of your time alone, it gets lonely.Sasuke was just another ninja. Truth be told, he was already passive as a child, but when your entire clan is murdered by your own blood, you're just never going to be the same.He didn't prefer being alone, he just was used to it.People only had seen him for his looks, or his fighting abilities. A shitty reminder was "the last of the Uchiha". He was just like everybody else, just as regular. Why does nobody see that?Sure, he may have not been the most clear at showing his emotions. It didn't mean he wasn't human. The sad reality was inside he was struggling so hard. Nobody was aware of how unstable he was.The onyx eyed prodigy was really good at keeping it together. He had become an extraordinary liar, an experienced actor, and an encyclopedia of excuses. Nobody knew the amount of misery he faced daily. Nobody knew about his late night ventures out of the village. Nobody knew not even a portion about him.When you're born with a mesmerizing face and a hot body, it seems like a quality you'd want, but when you actually have it, it proves to be more bad than good.If he wanted a fling or a one night stand, he had so people willing to jump right in line. For him, everyone saw outside, not inside. When the name "Sasuke" was mentioned, the first thing brought up was his appearance. Just like that girl on his squad. She had claimed to be in love with the man. All she knew was his pretty face, his ripped body and that his clan was slaughtered.But, the real tea, is that there was another person who had liked him. The difference is, they actually liked him.Nobody would expect that person loved Sasuke too. If someone knew, this would mean complete trouble!The real tea was about to spill. Life had been stationary for everyone. When this secret admirer was to be exposed, this would mean drama for remotely everybody they knew, and some juicy gossip.Watch hell break loose, and tea get spilled.…

2016. I met a boy with a whole universe inside him, his eyes full of shimmering stardust, like windows into his soul, shining so brightly I could barely look into them for more than a second.His body was like a bridge between the physical and spiritual world, a mind so full of power and knowing, it was like it was spilling from his being in an overflow of glowing aura.He saw behind my borrowed smile and dancing eyes to the loneliness that resided.His mind drew me in, his soul whispering so softly to mine, and, when mine responded, it was like a universe exploding in a shower of stardust.Ashley impulsively decides to take three weeks off from her dead end job and just drive to see where she ends up, sending herself a postcard every day that she is gone.When her car breaks down, she meets a group of people who help her out and give her somewhere to stay.She is irresistibly drawn to them, especially to Kyra, who shows her that life is about much more than simply existing.What was supposed to be a relaxing few weeks off turns into a spiritual journey of soul searching, love, and discovering one's place in the universe.But, then, reality comes knocking...

The air was warm, as if she were basking in the sun. Like it was summertime, a season she did not care for. A bright light pours into her eyes and her hand flies up to cover her face. She blinks several times until she regains her bearings, and she lowers her hand. She freezes when she opens her eyes, her vision coming back.She's standing on an emerald, softly trimmed lawn. The blades are glistening with teardrops, still damp from the earlier rainfall. A bittersweet smell wafts through her nostrils, and she turns around. There's a tall, bulky, towering tree a few feet away from her. It's thick trunk is a dark brown, almost like chocolate but there's a rich color of red. It's lush with puffy pink cherry blossoms sprouting from it's thick branches.Soft pink petals rain as the gentle wind rustles the blossoms. There's a winding stone path that makes its way through the trees. She looks up and finds the familiar city outline of the place she used to live in. There's a porch swing, a pale white. There's a young girl sitting there, her dark skin shimmering in the golden rays of the sun, and she has sketchbook in her lap. She's smoothing out the soft edge of the jaw and shading in as she applies value. Her black hair is tied into a ponytail, a strand of hair falling in the middle of her face.A man comes into view and takes a seat beside her. He's smiling at her, asking her what she's drawing. She shrugs and answers nobody, but he counters that it has to be somebody, and she shrugs one shoulder instead. His cocoa brown eyes lights up in pure joy, looking at her as if she were the best thing in the world.Tears spring into her eyes and she swallows the heavy rock lodged in her throat. Someone calls her name and, hesitantly, she turns around. She meets a pair of concerned oceanic eyes and the boy asks her if she's okay. She turns back around, the picturesque view fading away, like dust, and she shrugs."Yeah," she says, softly.…

This is an old version of this story I started in 2015. As of now, April 2018, I have a few working chapters. Hardly any of the information given here is the same, but general information will mostly be kept, along with characters and personalities (though some personalities will change to be more realistic). Please enjoy this first attempt of mine.This book is being rewritten, but the same idea will be kept. Just stretched out a bit.✽No pictures are mine, but some are edited to my liking.✽☆All characters are mine and most can be found in my OC book.☆♬"Revak Feykro" means "Sacred Forest" in Skyrim's Dovahzul.♬The peace of the Isles of Ysamaldri has lasted many, many generations.

Before everything, Myrkr and Sanguine, two Revak Feykro teens, are sent behind enemy lines as recruits.
