Forbidden Fruit 7: Morning Bells
The world was a gentle grey, the first light of dawn stealing through the narrow window of Neri’Va’s small chamber. For a fleeting moment, all was still. The only warmth in the cool morning came from the strong arm draped over her waist and the rise and fall of the woman sleeping at her back. […]
Forbidden Fruit 6: The Village
The afternoon sun lay bright upon the rooftops, casting golden stripes along the cobbles of the village.

She moved with quiet efficiency, careful not to […]
Forbidden Fruit 1: Denday Berries
The evening breeze swept softly across the wildflower meadows as the sun Quintra began her slow descent towards the horizon. Across Eonil, golden light faded, and the sky gradually filled with deeper, richer shades of blue. The world seemed to hold its breath, caught between the last warmth of day and the hush that came […]
