《Ephemera | poetry》| Masquerade |

"A tragedy where chemerical ghosts of her wounded past possessed her mind and motioned her hands; making her so humorously brave behind this hazy facade of crimson blood and mirky words ; a merciless red and an audacious black."
Such an aureate gold it was,
That fenced her wild eyes ;
Showing off her ethereal irises ;
Hiding all truths behind,
The clink of a silver cased glass
Amidst the hum of icy tunes ;
As daunting as the lies engraved,
In those ceiling-high runes,
Remember her footsteps dared to echo,
in those rumor-stained walls ;
Earning a hiss from the crowds,
Threatened forever by stranded halls,
The royal silk of her attire smirked,
At those creamy gowns - dismay ;
Humming to the stars, a song,
that lulled even devils to pray,
The knocking of her crystal heels,
breakin' floors of heinous lies ;
dancing alone in the room,
damn all those hateful eyes,
The pink of her rosy cheeks,
Ever to mask her blue-grey smile ;
the wicked curve of their lips,
would darkness dare cross her light,
Oh but if you observe, rather than, Flying over with just a mere glance ;
You catch the aphotic melancholy,
lacing her celestial stance,
Those pale creamy hands weighing,
With flashy spinels and moonstones ;
Are mere dust and bones ; weaved,
With lines of threads darkly forlorn,
Those lucent heels of stainless glass,
That clicked on the floor with grace,
Are silver daggers carving her
Leaving scars without a trace,
So when they try stalk the queen,
From the farthest corners of the room;
I wonder if they see her shoulders,
Dropping down to the crown's gloom,
The vivid drama of perfection,
That she has hosted in her heart ;
Ever compliments the argent costume,
That glitters on her face - afar,
Since forever in this masquerade,
Under the stringed theater of stars ;
Her soul has danced herself to death,
To the chords of of her golden mask.

The Eternal Seeker Saga
In a universe where Earth is nothing but a distant memory, and humanity is clawing its way back from a million years long interstellar dark age, Sarah Ciel-étoilé is but a humble mercenary. For 60 years, her crew of exiles has followed her onboard their stolen military gunship, the Eternal Seeker. But now, a threat like they have never seen before is rising. The Dominion, an intergalactic empire over a millenia old, is dying. Its catastrophic civil war almost brought it to total collapse, and it endures only through the strength of its navy. But that strength is waning. Throughout the Dominion's Protectorate, whispers of a revolution are spreading, and insurrections are flaring up, as a conspiracy set on casting down the Dominion and burning it to the ground set its plan into motion. Yet, behind all the chaos and the destruction, something far more sinister brews in the shadows, and it could change the face of the universe forever. This is the story of Sarah, and her mercenaries, during these troubled and dark times, as empires fall...and others rise. ----- Chapters will be posted every sunday, mostly at 23h30 CET (22h30 UTC), although I will probably experiment with different release times.

Systematic Supremacy
A story of an individual with a cursed past and an unknown future. Follow the journey of Theo trying to find his purpose in a world full of cultivation, magic, and other mystical arts. What happens when someone without a will to live finally gains freedom along with an absurd amount of potential? Will he pursue strength in a world that values nothing but power, or will he decide to live a quiet and normal life for the first time? This is a story of a man with a system (yes, I know, very original), cursed with the faith of a protagonist. Whether he will follow the road of humiliating swarms of ignorant young masters asking for a beating, or carelessly pick up love interests from all corners of the world is yet to be seen.This story features many different realms and power systems, so if you enjoy novels with massive worlds and endless exploration, this is for you. Although it has a system, it is more of a manifestation of his own power and mysterious origin, not some gift from God.This is my first novel, and I am not a native English speaker, so the grammar won’t be perfect, but I hope you enjoy it nonetheless.
