"Down by the water, under the willow, sits a lone ranger minding the willow.
He and his wife once lived happily, planted a seed that grew through the reeds."
"Willow" - Jasmine Thompson
This is the tale of Adriel and Theran - two names often heard whispered in tall creation tales but brushed away by many in Atalan to be silly folklore. Many believed Adriel and Theran to be two original gods of varying relation (siblings and rivals the most common); some think them to be silly children's stories to teach of morality. One book published by a rogue historian challenged all of the previous assumptions declaring Adriel and Theran lovers across ages that created a stir among the masses until it was discredited and shoved to the public as romantic nonsense. Yet what many had yet to realize was that the truth was much closer than they thought.

Where the Willow Walks is my current baby; this story has been on my mind for the past year and my primary focus for the past 6(ish) months! This story is very folklore-y and takes place in the same world as The Reapers Legacy, Song of the Nightingale, and Faction of the Lost Ones (my 3 other stories). This story will be passed between several narrators as it tells the story across many, many years. Any thoughts and comments are always welcome!

03 ~ The Nine Generals
Torig imbued more than breath, but a piece of his soul and energy into nine spirits - his nine generals.

04 ~ Nyenni
A spirit’s bond with it’s other half is the most pure thing I can ever describe.
[Reapers] | [Nightingale] | [Factions] | [Willow]
Thank you!

Mpart's Builds; Taking Requests (Indefinite Hiatus)
Thank you!!! I worked really hard on the edits for this chapter. I'm glad you like them! It makes all those hours spent worthwhile!
[Reapers] | [Nightingale] | [Factions] | [Willow]
She took the hit herself… and shattered into fragments.
[Reapers] | [Nightingale] | [Factions] | [Willow]
06 ~ The Pioneer
"Sometimes you have to be the pioneer to learn something new."
[Reapers] | [Nightingale] | [Factions] | [Willow]
“Promise me you won’t stop learning… but more importantly, that you will never… never stop pursuing whatever it is that makes you happy.”
[Reapers] | [Nightingale] | [Factions] | [Willow]
Small warning, there's some language in this chapter that wasn't present before. It's pretty common in my stories (and a lot that I've seen) but this is just so some aren't caught by surprise!
J'ai reussi, maman, papa.

Mpart's Builds; Taking Requests (Indefinite Hiatus)
@Mpart Thank you. Stefan had me dying with his pit nonsense. Poor Robert is still grieving though. It's only been a week, so he's got a ways to go to recovery.
[Reapers] | [Nightingale] | [Factions] | [Willow]
The point of this chapter isn't to glorify it, but to show the gritty realness that many people face each day. To those of the world who have thought about, or actually committed, suicide: you are not alone. I hope you never forget that.
“You won’t last here, Robert.”
Tell me something I don’t already know.
[Reapers] | [Nightingale] | [Factions] | [Willow]
10 ~ Family Day
Yet despite all the progress he made, which perhaps was minor in the grand scheme of things, he was chained to the impending doom that was Family Day.
He just wanted to get it over with.
[Reapers] | [Nightingale] | [Factions] | [Willow]
Happy 1-Year Anniversary, Where the Willow Walks!
[Reapers] | [Nightingale] | [Factions] | [Willow]
12 ~ Love Lines
Granted, his future always felt hazy to him. All he knew is he wanted to do something that made him feel fulfilled… and so far that calling was Spirits.
[Reapers] | [Nightingale] | [Factions] | [Willow]
Don't Forget to Breathe
Your existence is not secure here. Keep your head down. Don’t look up. Breathe.
[Reapers] | [Nightingale] | [Factions] | [Willow]
The Snow Wars
"In wars of snow, you'll find no mercy to be had Jake."
[Reapers] | [Nightingale] | [Factions] | [Willow]
[Reapers] | [Nightingale] | [Factions] | [Willow]
Catrina Miser
She looked so different yet the same all at once.
[Reapers] | [Nightingale] | [Factions] | [Willow]
I'm updating all of my stories to alert people that I will be going on a 3 month hiatus. Read about it here!
In the meantime, I'd appreciate any feedback on the things brought up in my note, and will continue to update my Tumblr with teasers and hype for my strong return in 2019!
Thank you for your time and patience with me!
Lots of love,
Livvielove

I have a note to update everyone on my status (it's the same for all of my stories). Here's looking forward to 2019!
Willow's first chapter will release next Friday, the 11th.
Thanks for all your patience with me!

An Uneasy Feeling
"Those monsters snatched Emelia right out of her bed... I could kill them for that! They claim to be vampires but act like they have no self-control!"
[Reapers] | [Nightingale] | [Factions] | [Willow]
The God of Knowledge
He figured that Professor Luken had worked for the God of Knowledge, but he never would’ve imagined it would’ve looked like this.
