This is a story of a human who accidentally ventured into the realm of the enchanted creatures of our folk stories. No, he is not a half-blood. No, he is not needed to save their realm. This is not that kind of story. This is a story about making choices, and what it is like to see the unseen and live with them. This is actually my take on our story as human beings from the unseen's perspective. Welcome to Thera! Author's Note: This is a work of fiction, and to the best of the author's knowledge, a product of the author's imagination and is therefore owned by the author. The author wishes to thank the different references available online about the myths and legends used in this story, especially Edain McCoy's "A Witch's Guide to Faery Folk." The author twisted some of these, however, in order to fit the story. Some parts are inspired from the video games and movies that the author has played and watched over the years especially the Tales series, Golden Sun series, and the works of Tolkien and Rowling. Credits go to them and the people behind these fantastic games. They have contributed a lot in order for the author to picture a world where magical beings exist. The author tried his best to form a non-plagiarized work. Any exact resemblance to an existing work was purely accidental. Please inform the author immediately in such cases by sending a private message. Thank you.

Totoo bang may tamang pag-ibig sa maling panahon? Si Martin ay isang guro sa isang pamantasan at si Odracir naman ay kanyang estudyante. Kaya kaya nilang hamakin ang lahat, masunod lamang ang tinitibok ng kanilang mga puso?

Nagsimula tayo bilang mga sisiw na inalagaan ng ating mga magulang sa kanilang ginawang pugad. Kasabay ng pagtubo ng ating mga balahibo ay unti-unti nating napagtanto na may isang napakalawak na mundo na naghihintay sa atin sa labas ng kakahuyan. Ang ating mga pangarap ay tila ihip ng hangin na pilit na umaangat sa atin mula sa pugad, at sa pagpapagpas ng ating mga pakpak ay hindi natin mapigilang tanungin ang ating mga sarili kung handa na ba nating iwan ang ating nakagisnang mundo. Author's Note: Ang kwentong ito ay aking entry sa call for submissions ng 8letters para sa kanilang Summer Dreams anthology. Pinalad naman na napasama ito sa top 20 entries na muling pinamilian ng sampung mapapasama sa anthology. Kahit na hindi pinalad na mapasama sa top 10 ay itinuturing ko itong isang magandang pagkakataon para muli kong maipamalas ang kakayahan ko sa pagsusulat sa wikang Filipino. Salamat sa 8letters at sa lahat ng sumuporta.Cover art image is from the internet (www.maxpixel.net). Copyright of this image belongs to their respective owners. All rights reserved.

This is a fan fiction that I submitted for a contest called by Meg Merriet, the writer of the Sky Song series. It's about Lily and Baker, two of my favorite characters in Sky Song: Overture, a fantasy steam-punk novel. I did not win but I am glad to have participated because this is one of those rare opportunities where one of your favorite writers make a watercolor artwork just for you. Isn't that great?Anyway, if you want to read Meg's works (which I highly recommend if you are a fan of adventure and fantasy stories), you may visit her page:https://www.wattpad.com/user/MegMerrietThe cover is the artwork given to me by Meg herself as a prize for submitting my entry. ^_^…
