Just my random thoughts, ideas and well anything.

We may choose to forget our past, but no matter how far we run, they'll always catch up to us. To outcast Shinigami, Terry Bond (Rex), his past catches up to him in New York when he chooses to save a classmate from danger. His actions herald a chain of events that lead him to a past he buried... and should have stayed buried.

My name is Raes Bastion. I had everything once. I was the CEO of a multi-billion corporation at the age of 19. I married the girl of my dreams, and we had a beautiful girl together. Then my uncle betrayed me. He and the rest of the Board members at my company set me up for fraud and embezzlement, something which led to the crash of the American economy. It took me 20 years, but now I'm free from prison. My wife left me when they threw me in there. She took my daughter and burned all the bridges between us, making sure that there wasn't anything I could do once I was out. Now I'm a penniless, middle-aged man with no hope for the future. But with my friend Caesar, and the new virtual reality game "Awakening", I think I can do it. I KNOW I can do it. I'll rise to the top again, AND THERE WILL BE HELL TO PAY WHEN I DO!!! AUTHOR'S NOTE: BOOK 1 is finished, BOOK 2 has begun!

Facing the most powerful man in the Lands armed with nothing but a sword and the hope that she could prevail, was not the direction Akira saw her life going in. After witnessing her family's death she had stayed away from it all, living in hiding. Yet when she discovers that her dragon is a Dragon of Legend and together they are to challenge Haiden, the ruler of the dark Lands, her life plummets into chaos. Taken in by the Academy, where young dragon riders are trained to fight, she must rise up and prove herself worthy of the name of the 'Rider of Legend'. Yet as Akira finds out, fighting for an almost hopeless cause when no one believes in you, is not easy. With all odds stacked against them, Akira and her dragon must fight for their own lives as well as try to fulfill all expectations and free the Lands from a tyrant's rule once and for all.

A new challenge appears, a new battle begins. Once again the Rider of Legend must fight to save the lands, only this time she finds herself five hundred years in the future.
