In the elder days before mortal kings etched their borders into stone, before time was measured by crowns and conquests, when Elven Folk shared the world with mortals under treaties older than memory, there came upon our people an age of quiet sundering. It was a time when Giants still walked the high places, when Dragons passed like storms along the horizons, and when Elven Folk shared the world with mortals under treaties older than memory. Yet even then, doubt found root. In those days there arose among mortals a whispering hunger, seeded by those who wore borrowed faces. The Changeling Wizards, who fed fear as if it were wisdom. Convincing mortal kings, the magic of the elves no longer served them. What had once been shared truth became superstition. What had once been kinship became a war of wills. From that hour, the old goodwill ended. Thus the space between our peoples widened, until the old paths closed and we were pressed back into the frost-bitten heights of our ancestral lands. And what would happen next would leave the old world in the silent throes of AN UNEASY REALIZATION THAT ALL WAS NOT AS IT SEEMED... A time when love and acceptance became fear and those fears bred greed. Greed bred forgetting. And forgetting became blame. But in that age arose two souls. One born of mortal blood, one of mortal grace. Who chose to stand where others turned away. Alvaro, and Daniela of the western shores, whose names the stone itself remembers. 𖤓𖤓𖤓 ONC Prompt 78 You begin to realize that things are not as they seem.

# Book 1 In a realm where kingdoms rise on dharma and vows are spoken before fire and fate, two marriages are woven into destiny's design. One love is devotion. Quiet, steadfast, and reverent. It blooms in shared silences, in trust unspoken, in the gentle knowing that duty and love need not stand opposed. The other love is fire. Unrestrained and defiant. Born of challenge, sharpened by will, burning with a longing that refuses to be tamed. Beneath towering palaces and ancient skies, four hearts learn that love is not merely desire- it is choice, restraint, sacrifice, and surrender. Because in this world, love is sacred. It is bound by vows older than memory, tested by responsibility, and sanctified by the courage to stand beside another through every trial fate demands. When destinies entwine, passion must learn reverence, and devotion must learn longing. And once fate binds two souls, it does not ask gently- it asks for everything

This story follows Amphitryon, a Babylonian king brought to his knees by loss. Defeated in war, stripped of his heir, and shattered by the brutal murder of his wife upon his return, Amphitryon inherits not only a broken heart but a fractured kingdom. Babylon no longer trusts victory, the treasury stands nearly empty, and former allies turn their backs, sensing weakness rather than authority. Grief weighs heavily on him, but it does not destroy him it reshapes him. In the aftermath, Amphitryon must relearn what it means to rule. Power is no longer inherited or assumed; it must be rebuilt, negotiated, and earned. His advisors urge alliances, yet foreign courts refuse him, unwilling to invest in a fallen king without gold or momentum. Babylon survives, but only barely, sustained by discipline rather than hope. The king faces a stark truth: empires are not restored by mourning, but by strategy. The turning point comes through an unexpected and dangerous proposition a political union with Egypt. When Egypt itself enters a moment of crisis, marriage becomes more than diplomacy; it becomes survival. Amphitryon agrees to wed an Egyptian princess, not out of ambition alone, but necessity. What begins as a calculated alliance slowly transforms into something deeper. Through shared burdens, cultural tension, and mutual respect, love emerges where none was expected. Together, they rebuild not just armies and trade routes, but legitimacy. As Babylon rises again, Amphitryon confronts the balance between ruthlessness and mercy, grief and renewal. This is a story of power reclaimed, of ancient kingdoms bound by fate, and of a king who learns that victory is not only conquest but the courage to rise, love, and rule again.

I understand the cover of these one-shots looks very silly (Cover by Renicuzwhynot? on Amino.), but do not think that's what this book is. I hope to make it serious and historically accurate. At the beginning of this book there will be lots of ancient world, but maybe in due time I will move up the ladder to middle ages. If my worldview offends you stop reading now. I will not change it to suite the perceived needs of others. It's how I see the world. Everyone has a different way of seeing it. THERE WILL BE NO SMUT WHATSOEVER IN THIS BOOK. I know that not a lot of people post content about the ancient world and I've always wanted to see something like that. I hope this quenches the thirst for other historical loving Country-human fans. I hope you enjoy.

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.

In a land far, far away, in the ancient world. Beyond the huge mountains surrounded by oceans, in the mystery land of evergreen dark forests, the dwelling-place of undead creatures and poisonous plants, was once a small thriving village of Orah. It was located on the sloppy grass land, bordered by the dark woods on both north and south, and few villages to its east. The village of Orah is sparsely populated, with old square buildings made up of woods and thatched roofs. The people are mainly farmers and traders. They had their farms on the outskirt of the village and their herds graze on the lush green field, with a river that cut across the village, running miles into the forests and up the hills. They lived together in peace and harmony, so merry and jovial. They went to their farms and trade when the sun is up and their children race through the streets as cheerfull laughter filled the sky. While at night they gather around a bonfire, telling tales and spreading rumours of the olden days. Tales about the dark forest and its mysterious creatures. Of the undead creatures that lurk around the shadows, waiting for any unlucky soul that dared to venture in. Rumours about the strange sounds coming from the woods in the darkest night when one listened attentively. Although the village was safe from harm by the forest and its creatures, escept for few attacks by the wolves, and the rumours were just rumours, the people still feared the dark woods or the mystery forest as they call it, and its mysterious undead creatures. There was an unspoken rule to stay clear of the forest to stay safe. All of them, both young and all, adhered to that rule. Everyone except one girl. Rooh

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.
