NOW A PUBLISHED BOOK!! Centuries have passed since the Wars. In the beginning it was hatred and greed that filled the leaders of the old world, fueling them to take up arms against neighboring countries. Nations went to war against one another and soon all forms of government fell as chaos took over, leaving everyone to fend for themselves. Soon, mankind's destructive nature took over and left the majority of the world in ruin. Those that were left were quick to blame who was behind the demise of civilization itself. Over time, women gathered and began to believe that it was men who were responsible as they are temperate and quick to act on anger. But men blamed women who would deceive and manipulate them. This ultimately caused one last battle known as the Great War, causing thousands of fatalities until there was hardly anyone left. It was then that the few leaders that were left, now known as the High Kings and Queens, made a pact to never repeat the past. Men and women would live separately and never speak again, except every year a selected tribe from each gender would gather to procreate at the ceremony known as the Skabelse to keep the population arise. Rowan, a hardened warrior princess, is one of the many chosen as a tribute for her tribe, the Glade. Being raised to hate men, she sees this being worse than a death sentence. Will Rowan be able to look past her abhorrence for the opposite gender when she is paired with the handsome Prince from Rorik?

11x featured wattpad story. Before everything, it's assumed there was nothing, but what if there was no real difference between the two? Just two extreme philosophies from the first conflict. The planet Huom has been under observation for longer than should technically be possible. The primary watcher, a bitter black hole, is excited to see that there is finally a proverbial Darkness at the end of the tunnel. Meanwhile, on the planet, in the freezing mountains of Empris, Lyeasrakardsul, the oldest living sorcerer, suffers from devastating nightmares. At the same time, far away in the sandstone desert of Zenon, Herschel, a man filled to the brim with weird ideas is escaping a prison filled with strange old men. What does all this have to do with arsehole Gods, hairy Dwarfs, frustrated Afreets, curious Knomes, lizard-women, and nude Áettar? Perhaps Nothing, perhaps Everything... but why can't it be both?
