《Tear a Path》The start
Advertisement
Puncak, Indonesia, a range of mountains which stretches several miles. In November, where many countries are preparing to welcome the cold breeze of winter, this peculiar country is still battered by the sun's merciless rays.
On the peak of a particular hill, a single house sits comfortably alone. Its slightly yellow stained walls betrayed its age regardless of the fact that its owners installed new air-cons and refurbished the driveway.
It didn't always need this. Its owners, with the increase in age could no longer enjoy the regular bumpy off-road trips up the hill. Therefore, they decided to make a driveway and rent it out to tourist whenever they didn't use it. Additionally, with an elevation of 1,000 meters above sea level the cold mountain winds used to be sufficient to keep guests cool throughout their stay, even too cold sometimes. However, with the increase in the temperature of the earth, these hills became warmer with each passing year.
On the veranda, Wang Zhao Hui sat across from his childhood friend turned girlfriend Xi You Ya. The latter seemed angry on the surface.
"Zhao Hui! if you dare poke my sides again in front of our friends, you better be prepared to stop talking to me for a week!".
"Oh, come on, I have been poking your sides since we were kids, even now you laugh if we're on a date together, but suddenly when our friends are around you are suddenly conscious of it" Wang Zhao Hui said plainly, "If you keep making a fuss about it I won't poke your sides again, instead, I'll poke your belly button and see how our friends react then."
"You dare!!"
The funny thing about spouses is how sometimes people end up finding those who are the exact opposite of their own characters. For example Wang Zhao Hui is very energetic in public is in reality very plain in private, on the other hand Xi You Ya who is usually shy in public has a temper she shows only to her loved ones.

Life tends to tear apart and bring together the strings of fate of humans. For some lucky few, their strings are intertwined all through the rest of their lives until death inevitably pulls it apart in the end. For the unlucky ones, the string breaks apart before it's time.
In the case of the two lovebirds, their fates have somehow been kept together as if they were destined. During birth, both of their parents had actually eaten together because of a full hospital cafeteria, Xi You Ya being born on the 5th of August was 30 days old when her parents met the parents of the 7 day old boy.
Many years later when they were both 8 years old, Wang Zhao Hui's father, Wang Tian Long, began to do business with his grandfather. Because of this, he had to move closer to his family's factory to make travel more convenient. Unknown to him, he had moved right next to the bakery Xi You Ya's parents ran. Hence, began the many days of playing cat and mouse and playing hide and seek in the bakery for both family's children. At 12, because of the success of business Wang Zhao Hui's family moved to Indonesia for cheaper workforce splitting the two by a whole ocean.
Somehow, later on both were sent to school in Singapore for better education when they were 16. Wang Zhao Hui's classmate invited him to rent an apartment together with other students, one of which was Xi You Ya. 3 years later they are going steady and all seems right.
When the stars align, things fall into place regardless of who or what steps in. But when even the stars are covered by the shroud of night, it's uncertain if even fate can keep it's strings together.

8 545Charlotte Powers: Diary of a Would-Be Superhero
The journal of a girl who thinks she knows. (Spoiler: She does not know.) "...an odd combination of stream-of-conscious anxieties and high-flying save-the-world goals written by an overzealous, naïve teenaged girl in her wristwatch computer diary."-readers are better at describing stories than the writers who wrote them "When it's over you look up: the world looks the same, but you are somehow different and that feeling lingers for days."-bit OTT but I'll take it "...everything cannot just be good and then be even more good, in this story, right?"-100% accurate assessment "...the plot was bland and the character uninteresting. It was just a very dull read. I cannot recommend this book to anyone."-oh well can't win them all Discord for discussion. Complain about Charlotte's nonsense! Ship the characters! Do a thing! Now entering the second arc, Power Play. Things are getting serious. We're heading towards something important. Charlotte is still largely clueless. But she is trying so hard.

8 92Swords and Roses
Rose was pretty sure the only thing out of the ordinary about her best friend, Kaz, is that he has an uncanny ability to annoy her. She was wrong. Actually, she was wrong about a lot of things.

Will Rose be able to survive? Maybe, just maybe, she will find out that she is even stronger than she imagined. Or maybe she'll die. That could happen too. Arguably more likely. With that wonderful thought, let the sword fighting begin!
