A darkness rooted itself in the world long ago. Like a festering seed, it sprouted and grew, spreading over the land and across all in its path.

Follow our intrepid adventurers as they each fight their own battles on the road to the true war. Life vs the Undeath. First Place winner of the Blue Rose Awards for Unknown Author

This tale revolves around the combination of five major archetypes. The Lost, The Izabris, Humans, The Kialusto, and those consumed by Magic. The Izabis, like the Kialuso, have formed cities, states and cultures, the consumed are chaotic creatures that resemble little of their former lives. They devolve into their most basic of needs, resembling the many monsters, creatures and beasts that live across the lands. Without giving much more away in what is, essentially, a disclaimer, I will say this. The world in which this story will revolve is not the land of Humans. While all aspects cannot survive without their counterpart, that good cannot exist without evil, and order cannot exist without chaos, it is important to note the struggle between the two halves, drives all. To overcome adversity with the skills that one develops over time, time will eventually claim that which was built with those skills. This isn't to say that there is no point in beginning, rather: no matter how something may end, the beginning is just as important. For without a beginning, there can be no end. And with no end, there can be no change. And change, begets change. This is about the paths taken, events encountered, and choices made that would coalesce in this Saga. This piece has been inspired by many of the tales left without an end, and as such Ive opted to give them one, all together. Without further prelude, let us begin.

When Vikings are seen off the shore of a small town in Ireland, seventeen year old, Clare, is determined to drive them away. Being clever and strong-willed, she makes a courageous attempt to protect not only her village, but also herself. Though, this brave action only fuels the attraction of the Jarl who takes her back to Norway as his future bride.

This story was something I wrote in a Swedish "Wheel of Time" based play-by-post roleplaying game many years ago (2003?) and did a rough translation of in order to send to the guy who would later end up my husband. :) I wrote it as a way for me to get rid of a bunch of characters at once, as well as a chance to write something about all my characters and what they were up to. I still like the feel of the story, but the text could do with a lot of work in general, realistically. Seeing as how it was only ever meant as a post in a play-by-post roleplaying game, aside from updating the text a little to make me want to gouge my eyes out slightly less, I doubt I'll go back and do more work on it. Oh yeah, and because they were roleplaying characters, why you get some oddities that wouldn't be okay with canon. Like Aes Sedai born and raised in the Aiel Waste, and Aes Sedai-Accepted relationships that are a wee bit too friendly, etc. *cough* (And spoiler: servants Janus and Atanea are the same person - it's Zoula in disguise. And the girl with the braids at the end is a ghost.)

What if The Last Dragonborn was a twin, and his brother was roaming Skyrim. Eventually, the two will reunite when the time comes.

I not good a summary whenever it come to oneshot guy :(

*A tale set in the world of Skyrim* *The first in the Arch-Mage Trilogy* The Dragonborn has disappeared. Alduin has yet to be destroyed.
