Ancientworld Stories

"The Fallen Star" is a fantasy epic set in a bronze-age, Mediterranean style world. Dardano - a vast empire slowly decaying under the weight of tradition and ceremony. The ruler of the empire has died, and now the royal children must step in to fill the vacuum. Prince Fornulus is the heir, but nobody expects great things from the dimwitted and brutish prince, and his siblings have their own plans, none of which involve Fornulus remaining in power. Young Prince Nikolonium wants to turn the empire onto the path of righteousness - but it will take all that he has to stand against his manipulative, ruthless, and occasionally downright sadistic siblings. Note: this story is completely written at around 110,000 words, with 36 chapters. I'll be publishing a chapter every week, on Fridays, and working on the sequel as I do to hopefully get it finished before I run out of these chapters! I'm also going to publish this story on Royal Road under the username "VictorValens".

I'm answering the question..........what if Aztecs were still around. (They're not for the most part, but....it's fun to imagine.) Takes place in an Aztec temple in the not-so-very-early time of June 15, 2012. Sorta................. Please, please don't skip ANY chapters or you'll be looking for a needle in a haystack in future chapters because there is very valuable details in each and every one. And you'll be like, "HUH?" and, "WHA?" when it comes to the small print. Fiction. Definitely. Ch. 21 has a riddle that goes along with this story in ways you'll never expect. (don't try to solve it. Only I know the answer.) PS. The storyline isn't going to end the way you think. It's not over yet. Keep searching for clues in my story.

She woke up with absolutely no knowledge of her life, her purpose and worst her name Until the flashbacks, figments of her memory started coming together piece by piece. Until the flames in her burned so wild for the world to see. Then she realized that whoever she was, she had been given a second chance to protect her loved ones. To finish what started years ago..... BADASS cover by the awesome @Laentheon

A young maiden of humble background finds herself thrust into the world of a terrifying folklore. The distinction between fiction and reality blurs in a mist of secrets, and Airin is left navigating a strange world with nothing but the deadly pull of fate and her will to live. A mysterious organization, the binds of a centuries-long tradition, an unexpected romance with blue blood and a foreign power all seem like the perfect mix for chaos for an ordinary girl. There is no smoke without a fire, as there are no myths without an origin, and legends; without heroes. (Disclaimer! Cover not mine.)

SCROLL FROM THE PAST "It has been foretold that with the rise of the three kings, will bring forth the Armageddon." "The Red king's power shall arise, when he meets his match, a girl from a faraway land, who will enhance the king's power and be the kindle of flame bringing birth to a whole era, but the power shall arise only with a high prize." A prize too high to be paid." "The anguish of the ice king will melt from the hue of happiness brought forth from the power of her love which will bring peace to a world of utter chaos." "The time and tide wait for no man but the water king, who will conquer many deep murky waters but not the pure tears." "Three unique and kind girls will decide the fate of the whole universe with their sacrifice, their power of love and friendship. This shall forge a union between the past, present and future igniting a light in the darkness to come."

In the age of war and crusades, one woman defied the world. Princess Zari of Al-Dahira lost everything when her kingdom was reduced to ash. But her spirit refused to die. Through the burning deserts of Arabia, the battlefields of Egypt, and the storm-torn seas of Europe, she seeks a new beginning - and discovers what it truly means to be free.

Visions, ceremonies, and transmissions unfold on the path of spirit. Crowned queen of the earth realm, named gatekeeper, I walk with Mother and the ancestors. These are my journal entries, written as story, carrying me deeper into my purpose.

In the shadow of Rome's conquest, a child is born of two worlds-Alonwyn, daughter of an African soldier torn from Aethiopia and a Celtic woman of Gaul. Orphaned by violence and raised by a druid who teaches her the old ways, she grows into a woman revered for her voice, her wisdom, and the uncanny depth of her gaze. But when Rome's legions return to burn her village and desecrate the sacred grove, grief and fury awaken a power darker than she ever imagined. In the ashes of her people, the goddess Carthwyn-she who governs death and sacred terror-offers Alonwyn the Bone Harp, an instrument strung with sorrow itself. With it, she may summon vengeance so absolute it would stain the earth forever. Alonwyn must choose: surrender her spirit to the goddess and let her song become a dirge of death, or defy the divine, bearing the weight of memory rather than bloodshed. Her journey is one of mourning and defiance, where music becomes both wound and healing, and where the gods themselves test the limits of mortal resolve. Myth and history entwine in The Bone Harp, a story of ancestry, vengeance, and the redemptive power of memory. Through Alonwyn's struggle, we are reminded that even in a world devoured by empire, there is strength in refusing to forget-and in choosing life when death beckons.

The desert is Khamisi's only home, yet the decades of no rain have driven all signs of life from the desert. When the nomad finally resigns herself a fate of scrap jobs and begging, she encounters her way out. Khamisi is hired by a charismatic foreigner to guide him through the desert in search of a rumored treasure. Something is amiss with the man. Nikias doesn't sleep. He speaks as if in conversation with the sky. Even more bizarre are the missing belongings, symbols sewn onto her clothes and traced in sand, bruises on his body. It doesn't take long to uncover his little treasure and with it, his secret. Now Khamisi is trapped between two choices: die in that cave or join Nikias' sinister plan. The clock has been set; the weathers shifting with whispers of an illegitimate throne and smokes of war. Khamisi must play Nikias' game if she wants to live. But she'll do anything to survive, even if that means destroying everything she's known.
