Genshin Impact: I'm not your Kallen!

Celestiallumin
Beneath the sky of Teyvat, two figures stood a short distance apart, their surroundings eerily silent as though the world itself was holding its breath. The blonde-haired man, his piercing green eyes widening, stared at the woman before him. His gaze lingered, tracing the features of her face with an intensity that spoke volumes. Shock painted his expression, but beyond that, a flicker of something deeper shimmered in his eyes—nostalgia, longing, and disbelief intertwined into one overwhelming emotion. He opened his mouth, but no words escaped, as if his voice had been stolen by the moment. The woman, her calm demeanor betraying the storm of thoughts swirling in her mind, studied him just as intently. 'Otto…?' The name echoed in her thoughts, sharp and incredulous. 'Why is Otto here in Teyvat? And why is he looking at me like that?' Otto’s lips parted slightly, as if he were about to speak, but his voice faltered when his gaze locked onto her striking blue eyes. His heart tightened as he scanned her face, searching for confirmation of a truth he dared not voice. 'Could she be… Kallen?' The thought filled him with equal parts hope and fear. The desire to ask burned within him, but he held back, afraid to shatter the fragile moment. If she wasn’t Kallen—or if she was, and he spoke too soon—would this ephemeral connection dissolve like smoke? And so, silence hung heavy between them.....

Scions of the Cruel King

In Scions of the Cruel King, the Targaryen family drama is in full swing. After Aegon’s death, Aenys took the throne, but things quickly went south. Aenys wasn’t exactly a strong leader, and it didn’t take long before the Faith rose up against him. That’s when Maegor stepped in—furious and out for blood after the murder of Eleana. He crushed the rebellion with an iron fist. When Aenys died under some pretty shady circumstances, Maegor took over as king. But even though he was ruthless, the Faith remained a thorn in his side right up until his own brutal end in 48 A.L. Now, the story kicks off in 56 A.L., and the Targaryens are still in hot water. Jaehaerys, Aenys’s son, is holding down the fort as regent for his young cousin Vaegyl, Maegor’s son. The realm is a mess, full of uprisings and political scheming. Jaehaerys and his allies, like Gerold Westerling, are doing their best to keep the peace, but they don’t realize that Westerling and Ser Tybolt Lannister have their own plans. They’re secretly plotting to put Westerling’s grandson, Aegon, on the throne. As Vaegyl gets closer to coming of age, things start heating up. Old loyalties are questioned, hidden secrets come to light, and the shadow of Maegor’s brutal reign still hangs over everything. The fight for the Iron Throne is just beginning, and it’s going to get messy. If you’re into stories packed with power struggles, betrayals, and the Targaryens fighting for control of the Seven Kingdoms, Scions of the Cruel King is right up your alley.
