Norlyn has suffered many tragedies over the years, from poverty to poisoned waters to drought and now enemy invaders are turning the country to rubble. Ayla Nkri is a villager in Norlyn. She was taught from young what her duty was to her country and to her family: she must graduate the academy and find her place in the military or royal guards. Her grades are in line with acceptance to the renown Orhem Academy. But in a new world of rules and discipline, her vulgar attitude and magic might not be as impressive when compared to that of the upperclass. She and every other like her, are sacrifices for Norlyn and she must remember this-even when faced with the heir to a great noble house, Sir Zayd of Cormill, who insists there is much more to life. A noble who has no knowledge of the the suffering that peasants must face if they do not willingly lay down their lives for their country or know of the negotiations taking place between allied nations, that sort of person has no right to give her advice in what is best for her country or her family. Strong willed and determined as Ayla is, there something in the shadows-someone is watching, and without her knowing it, she becomes a puppet on a string.

A one-stop shop for writing tips, my opinions on the writing do's and don'ts, and maybe even some tea (if the shoe fits, of course). Over the years I've gotten plenty of how-to questions concerning plot, characters, setting, world building, interactions between characters, grammar... must I go on? I'm no expert, obviously, but I've done enough research to sit across the table from you and slide you some secrets while we both enjoy the beauty of the day. This could also become a review shop or plot shop at any time, so be on the lookout!

Born with glowing green eyes. Destined for rotten luck. Peasant girl Meya Hild was 'given' the opportunity to become a Lady. At swordpoint. By mercenaries. Engaged to a dying nobleman. Poisoned with one month to live. Tasked to loot a castle. In a kingdom running out of resources. Little did Meya know this shenanigan would lead her across land and over sea, from a mountain made of sapphire to an island shrouded in spiral clouds, with masquerades, heists, kidnappings, shipwrecks, alchemy, romance, and an unexpected 'bump' along the way. Let the misery begin. 🐉 🎯 PROGRESS: Book One (Chpt. 1 - 65): 100% Book Two (Chpt. 66 - 125): 100% Bingers, YOUR TIME HAS COMETH. Get LUMINOUS: BOOK ONE Now!

You are a person who has a mysterious personality. In short you can't be described easily, but that is what attracts the attention of a certain person. What is to come to you in this new school year? What are you going to find out? What adventures lay ahead of you? Okay warning~ there is language in here and if you are not comfortable with it I advise not to read this. Also this story is based off the anime and manga so some words and most events will be the same but some things came from me myself. IF YOU DON'T LIKE A CHARACTER THAT IS NOT EXACTLY LIKE THEMSELVES THEN I DON'T RECOMMEND IN MY OPINION. Please don't expect much from this, I was a naive little writer at the time of writing this. I've improved a whole lot more since, but if you like reading cringy stuff like myself, then this is it. Hope you can enjoy it. :D

"Your voice is sexy as fuck" "Aha-so is yours~" ... ----------------------------------------------------------------- WARNING!!!! Story contains: -depression -pills/medical use :) imma just keep this a cute story for now <3

Enjoy these fantasies with the characters of Genshin Impact! Oh, and I'll take requests &lt;3

Published: 1-30-2020 As we know, pitou was born part cat. Meaning she/they adopted cat traits. What if one day, she randomly went into heat? She didn't know what was going on so she ran to her fellow royal guard friend for help. ⚠️If you dont like this ship, go cry about it, but don't be annoying in the comments. I will most likely be referring to pitou as a female in this to make things easier.⚠️ Smut :)

Sabi nila, Love is sweeter the second time around. Pero paano naman sa third? Sa fourth? Sa fifth? Sa infinity and beyond? Maging kasing sweet pa rin kaya ng first love ang lahat? At paano kung magkaroon ng stop over ang infinity and beyond? Love. Friendship. Family o sarili. Ano nga ba ang mas magiging matimbang para sa kanila Kaizer at Sitti?
