“Not all loves are meant to last forever. Some burn like fire until there is nothing left but ash and black ink on skin."
Zoraida Córdova “Labyrinth Lost”
The champion of paldea, geeta, sent children into area zero, including a few from another region. At least in my world it was made public. She’s good at what she does, politically as the champion, league chairwoman, and head of the academy, but people worry about her putting children at risk. Apparently they were champion ranked so “they could handle it” buuuut. If they hadn’t been able to I shudder to think of the international drama sending two kids from a unovan school into the hole that everyone in paldea grows up knowing not to mess with may cause.
See this would normally be disturbing but I'm realizing it's quite common for children to solve the supernatural on this website.
I've wondered how long til we are thrown headlong into it? What story will we experience? I am no fool. There is signs of the inevitable narrative that will swallow us whole. Psychics and Family Legacies. Missing Persons found at last. Strange whispers.
There is no if. There is only when.
But will I be swept aside by the tide of fate? Doomed to bash my head against the rocks to progress our journey? Or will I go with its current?
It leaves me antsy.
Do I wait for a destined fall or do I jump headlong myself?
Do I take it into my own hands in hopes of making myself relevant enough to the narrative to be allowed a part to play or do I go with what is planned for my life and pray that it is to survive?
Death or action.
And I suppose... At the end of it all... I ask:
Do I listen to what my mother told me?
Or
Do I let doubt consume me?

What are your reading goals for April? Do you have any? I would like to finish two more books but I don't think I'll be able to do that. I will finish one, I think. But the other one will probably have to wait until May.

(Admittedly more a mystery- horror but it s so good I just had to throw it in here)
oh and i finished labyrinth lost by zoraida cordova which was significantly better than the two other modern ya books i read for my sff class. however idk if i liked it or somply being directly compared to two poorly written books make it seem much better. but it was pretty fun over all and its nice to have something positive to talk about
When there isn't a place for you in the world, you simply have to carve one out for yourself.
