Chapter 1: The Club House Encounter
I pulled up to the clubhouse. There were bars on the window and a broken fluorescent sign. There were other bikes parked on the outside, lined up in neat little rows. Their owners' prominent bearly men in leathers trusted no one would be brave enough to touch them in their stead. I parked my motorcycle outside, the scent of oil and gasoline filling my nostrils.

Liquid relationships that evaporate
Zygmunt Bauman once said that we live in liquid times where nothing is made to last. He spoke of people being treated like consumer goods, meaning that if they have flaws, they are discarded. Or even replaced by updated versions. People are judged by our expectations, and if they can't meet them, they are returned to their origin at an even greater speed than when they arrived. Since expectations never take into account the less desirable things, they will inevitably be rejected for who they really are. People are chosen in the same way that a new car is chosen, with the expectation that it will have certain features and extras that we require, and when we discover that the car has flaws and imperfections, we park it and go in search of a new one.Perhaps we want one that is more beautiful, more powerful, and more fashionable—even a color that we like more—but the car that disappointed our expectations is one that we will never want again.

No one commands the soul
No one commands the soul. It stays where it is enchanted." A quote by Fernando Pessoa that fascinates me. I have always been a human being who lived through the soul, through feeling, and I always stopped where I was enchanted. I have never wished for something defined by physical or intellectual ideals. I have always been fascinated by the details of simple things, those things that few people notice and most ignore. This is true for people and everything else. I have always made my soul the compass of my heart, even knowing that it is not infallible and that it has often hurt me by leading me to paths and places that caused me pain. But I realized that everything works in a greater consciousness, that every path that leads to something magical has inhospitable places disguised as wonderful gardens. If it weren't like this, we wouldn't be able to see everything from different perspectives, and we wouldn't be able to put the best virtues of our essence into practice.

Galaxy of Love
If I don't fight for you, who will I fight for? You were imprinted on my being even before I was a person here. Everything made sense because it made me feel that authenticity when the soul vibrates. Just one more life, maybe... but this unique feeling is not limited to one life; it is a feeling of existence. It traverses time, space, and any dimension; it is a feeling that is not limited to what can be explained but mainly to what cannot be explained and yet makes so much sense.

The Vengeful Child's Blade. Content Warning.
PROLOGUE seventeen years ago . . . The rain was pouring, and the faint sound of bare feet slapping against wet stone echoed against the close-built houses. Her breath came out in desperate pants as she ran as fast as her legs could carry her. Still weak from recently giving birth, she held her bundled-up child close to her chest, the wool blanket quickly becoming soaked with the rain. She was in trouble, a LOT of trouble. When she was younger, she joined a group, a group of thieves and murderers. Back then, she didn't fully understand what she was doing, and by the time she realized that what she was doing was very wrong, it was too late to turn back. There was this one guy, though, who helped her at least avoid going on raids, which meant everything to her. But, as these stories usually go, they end up falling for each other, which breaks one of the most important rules of the group. Members are not allowed to form relationships with other members, love creates weakness, and weakness will destroy us. Their love grew and grew, and a tiny, wailing gift, was the result of it. Unfortunately, shortly after finding out she was pregnant, they were found out, and all hell broke loose. The leader sent for them, but she was already gone. With the help of the man she loved, she was able to escape and hide in a hospital for the entire nine months. She had many close calls, for some members of the group checked in on the hospital nearly daily, but she was able to find a hiding spot, although it got harder and harder as she got bigger. unfortunately, not even three days after she gave birth, she was found, the nurses "accidentally" made a big mess, blocking the members, making it so she could get away. It didn't take long for the leader to find her, he started to follow her, slowly creeping closer. She ran hard and fast, arriving at an orphanage, where she left the child at the doorstep. She ran in a different direction, down a dark alley, hoping to lead them away from her child. It was a mistake, for she ran straight into the leader... and his blade. Her gasp was silent as she took a few steps back, the sword sliding out of her chest with a wet, bloody squelch. Her body fell to the floor, and her last whispery words were of a prophecy...
