Legacy of Beaumont Dukedom

“I will not become the Duke devoured by madness… nor the son enslaved by his father’s shadow.” Whispers crawl through the ancient halls of Beaumont. Rumors of blood magic. Of betrayal. Of a Duke whose legacy rotted from within. Aldric de Beaumont—illegitimate heir and decorated captain of the royal knights—returns to his ancestral duchy to find it poisoned by corruption and haunted by the remnants of his father’s forbidden sorcery. Branded by a curse he never asked for, Aldric walks the thin line between loyalty and lunacy, between man… and the monster his blood yearns to become. But in the hush between whispers, another voice calls to him—soft, luminous, familiar. As madness stalks his every step, Aldric must confront the truth buried beneath centuries of deceit: the Beaumont bloodline forged a pact with an ancient power now stirring in its grave. The corruption is spreading, twisting flesh and fate alike, and the key to stopping it lies within Aldric himself. “You carry the curse of his blood, Aldric,” Elias whispers—the voice that both anchors and unravels him. Torn between duty and desire, haunted by visions and betrayal, Aldric must decide which nightmare to embrace: The darkness bequeathed by his father… or the one blooming in his own heart. The future of Beaumont—and the bond that defies death—hangs on a single choice. “The storm is here,” she murmurs. “Will you rise from it, Aldric… or drown?”

Illusive Eden - He Pretends He's the Hero

Neva and Rhett—two young souls—find their heartstrings woven in love. But just as passion and peace begin to bloom, fate intervenes. Bleak, haunting circumstances scatter blades across their romance, threatening to tear them apart. Ishmael—a man with a heart of thorns—yearns to mend the wound of losing Neva. And in the end, rays of love and joy filter through the clouds of horror that darken his world—as Neva appears before him once more. Twisted fate entangles them all, revealing the Game of Sphere, as misery scorches their souls. A concealed life beyond turns its pages—one after another—gathering sin and virtue, tragedy and fortune, strength and frailty, creation, love... and hate. Illusion is where we live—in the garden of Eden before the fall of man. Illusion is serenity—an evermore sanguine of love. The vision of paradise in the New Earth sows hope deep in the soul. The delusory pleasures of this world ignite the flames that burn in oceans of fire. Illusive Eden is rapture. Illusive Eden is tragedy. The fall of man—even now bleeds red. The whisper whirls the dawn of a man—he who pretends to be the hero. --- The girl who once vowed to be his forever Now forbids him to ever appear. She refuses to recognize him, Disregarding all he ever was. He vows to protect her. Yet he is the terrifying truth she prays is a lie. He trips her, rips her apart— He's the living tragedy looming over her life. He once was her Elayne, now her hiraeth. He is the villain—pretending to be the hero. --- The Lord is the way— Steady through the wilderness. The King is the truth— Burning through the lies. The Father is the life— Breathing spirit into dust. She kneels before the Ruler, The God who shaped galaxies— He has called her a poet. Her tongue shall be anointed. Her poetry shall be the rivers of His word. She will scatter seeds in broken fields, And He will send the sun. He will send the rain. He will draw the roots down deep. He yields to the Ruler, The God of blazing holiness— He has called him a soldier. His fists shall be unclenched. The sword of the Spirit rests in his grip. He will shield the sower of the seeds, As storms rise against the harvest. His strength will be not his own, But drawn from the marrow of grace. This faith shall shake the mountains, For He has conquered the filth of the flesh. This flame will cleanse the shadows. For He has defeated the darkness. This love shall live on for eternity, For He has overcome the mortal world.
