A young elf takes up the task of hunting down a band of orc trespassers with the help of her centaur brother. When she stumbles into a pitfall, Meren finds an object: an amulet that gives strange new powers. Little does she know that an increasingly desperate young wizard is looking for the very same amulet and that their paths are destined to crisscross in a weave of chaotic magic... (This is a novella I wrote in '11 and it's one of my very first stories. My writing style has changed a lot since then, but I'm sharing this with some minor editing because it's the story that gave me a love of writing and for that it'll always hold a special place in my heart. This is unconnected to the other stories I'll share to my Wattpad and takes place in a different fantasy world.)

Aernford is the sort of town that people avoid, a town that has its secrets, its issues, its darkness... It's a town full of history surrounding the three founding families. It's a town that the Carpenter's thought would be their fresh start. A new chapter. A blank page. Shirley and Joseph Carpenter find the town fascinating and easily slip into social networking with it's residents... But when her husband turns up dead from a supposed bear attack Shirley Carpenter begins to realize why most people avoid the town and the locals that live within it. More secrets are buried in the depths of the waters of the docked ships in Aernford, than are kept in her heart, and as the secrets of her soul begin to spill themselves, so do those of the people she's come to know... After all, how far can you really trust strangers, if you can't really trust yourself?

The Knitting of the Realms changed the world forever and transported Todor Corpus three centuries into the future. Magic returned, creatures from legends became real, and every bit of practical knowledge he had ever gained was rendered useless. He just wanted to make internet games, but in this new world of magic, there is no such thing as the world wide web. To top it off, regular humans like him can't even use magic. So, Todor decides on the most logical thing he can think of; he will bring the internet back. In his quest for this ultimate goal, he stumbles into a nefarious plot that could affect all human life in Moriganhold, and realizes the city is plagued by more problems than he had ever expected. When he finds the tools, strength, and authority he needs, nothing and no one can stop him from seeking justice, and bringing safety to all; no matter the wealth, race, or creed.

Can British magick be saved? Hell yes. Imagine modern Britain without magick. No fae enclaves. No flying chairs. No magick wands. Giddy gods, no unicorns. Who wants to live in that world? Me neither. But with magick on the decline, that's the world we're ending up with. Meet the Society for Magickal Heritage. Our boss is a disembodied voice. Our headquarters is a sentient house. You could say we've a vested interest in keeping magick alive. Can a ragtag bunch of magicians, necromancers and fae prevail against inevitable ruin and decline? Hell yes. Try and stop us. First mission? Find the source of a magickal disease that's decimating Britain's troll enclaves - and fix it. Simple. Or... maybe not. For the only place that might hold the information we need is the ancient and inconveniently lost enclave of Farringale... This serial has an official home at http://www.modernmagick.net! Check out the site if you'd like to get a bit further ahead with the story.
