The Codex of Black Fire

Ihunàya_Nyx
The Codex of Black Fire In a secluded community in eastern Nigeria, a sinister darkness spreads—witches of ancient lineage have returned, their power growing with every soul they claim. Amid the whispers of cursed winds and burning shadows, Amarachi, a sacred vessel chosen by the gods, bears the burden of her people's survival. Bound by prophecy, she is the community's last hope—but her strength comes at the cost of love, freedom, and a future of her own. Enter Alaric Voss, a brilliant but emotionally scarred European scientist drawn to the village by reports of unexplained phenomena. Driven by both scientific curiosity and a need to escape his past, Alaric becomes entangled in forces far beyond logic. When he meets Amarachi, a mysterious, commanding woman with a fire in her eyes and secrets older than time, the boundary between science and the supernatural begins to blur. As ancient sigils burn and chemical weapons laced with magic are forged, Alaric and Amarachi must navigate a sensual spiritual bond that neither fully understands nor can resist. While he prepares for war guided by cryptic visions, she fights the pull of love, fearing it will unravel the sacred duty she was born to uphold. Together with Chima, Amarachi's once-promised protector and now loyal ally, they stand on the edge of a battle that could either purge the land of evil—or doom it forever. In The Codex of Black Fire, forbidden love, ancestral power, and scientific defiance collide in a tale where the heart and spirit must unite to overcome darkness.

Ascending Pride

What happens when a dragon gets sacrificed by his mate for his blessings? Blame the bird. What happens when a fish wants to rule the skies? Drag the bird down. What happens when a fox wants revenge? Seek out the bird. What happens when humans are lied to for generations? Coarse the bird. What does any of that have to do with the bird who most have never even met? How do they subdue a being that not even beast gods were able to defeat? How do they force a bird to stop flying? How do they kill a being... that cannot be killed? ... They break his heart... over, and over, and over. It's been over a thousand years since the beast god sealed itself away to heal from it's injuries. 700 years since the dragon was sacrificed. 600 years since a feathered snake started accepting human "wives". Almost 500 years since his heart was shattered. 300 years since history was rewritten. 200 years since the fish sent out a call. 50 years since the fox was tricked. 20 years since he gave his broken heart to a young warrior. 10 years since he was once again betrayed. 2 years since the bird found himself in a new body with only a fraction of his memories. Now, the most precious piece of his heart must either return, or bond with another. Now, the blessings from the sacrificed dragon have become a curse. Now, a young warrior has become leader of her people. Now, three nations are on the verge of extinction. Now, a snake wants his covenant honored. Now, a bird shakes his head as watches with a sigh. So few will live, while so many will die.
