Beastfolk Stories

Lord Lycanthrope was supposed to die an aging, bitter Wolf Beastman who wanted nothing more than to be left alone. Then came the naive child. She completely crushed his wish to die in peace, forcing him to return to the very cage he escaped so many years ago. All because she wants to end her family's oppression and enslavement of beastmen-an innocent desire to make them smile and be happy. Dragged into a situation against his better judgment, the old wolf must protect the girl from the very humans she calls her family-ones who are capable of trapping him once again. What will the price be for him at the end of his inevitable final battle for survival?

Seventeen-year-old Lena Lewis was just an ordinary high school girl. One evening, while walking home from a birthday party, a mysterious wormhole suddenly appeared before her. Before she could even scream, she was pulled into its swirling darkness. When Lena wakes up, she finds herself lying beneath a strange sky illuminated by two moons. Towering trees surround her. Mysterious plants glow in the darkness. Strange creatures lurk beyond the shadows. And then she meets them- Beastmen soldiers. Before Lena can even process what is happening, one of them falls to his knees and shouts: "The Priestess has been found! She has fallen from the stars!" Lena: "...What?" Apparently, she has been summoned to the Avalar Kingdom, a magical world where humans, beastmen, magic, and ancient prophecies exist. And according to legend, a Priestess from beyond the stars is destined to save Avalar from an approaching catastrophe. There is only one problem. Lena isn't a priestess. She's just a confused seventeen-year-old girl who wants to go home. But as Lena begins exploring this mysterious world, she discovers that her arrival may not have been an accident. The prophecy surrounding the Priestess contains secrets that have been hidden for thousands of years. And somewhere beneath Avalar's two moons, something ancient is beginning to awaken. Now Lena must uncover the truth about the world she has fallen into, discover the mysterious power sleeping within her, and survive the dangerous forces that want the legendary Priestess dead. She came from Earth. She fell from the stars. And now- an entire world is waiting for her to awaken.

All Ren wants is to be left alone. After withdrawing ten years ago to leave someone-- or something-- behind, Ren has lived alone in her cabin. Nobody to see her. Nobody to talk to her.

When she finds her way to a grizzled old woman living in the woods, she's thrilled-- a retired adventurer! And she's going to mentor Piya whether she likes it or not! All Tok wants is to feel safe...

At All-Race Academy, where the most gifted youths of the Three Realms gather, one name reigns supreme-Fox Lian. Silver-haired, violet-eyed, and dangerously charming, he's the walking embodiment of every fluffy fantasy. Except to Emma. A top student from the divine clan, Emma suffers from a rare condition: an uncontrollable fear of anything fluffy. Fox ears? Tail? Decorative pompoms? Instant panic. But when her best friend falls head-over-heels for Fox Lian, Emma is forced to infiltrate the fan circle... and pretend to be one of them. Her plan? Stay close, stay calm, and never touch anything soft. Her reality? A growing obsession with Fox Lian's accessories, a mounting pile of fluffy "research samples," and a dangerously perceptive fox boy who seems to enjoy teasing her more than anyone else. What begins as a survival strategy soon spirals into a slow-burn psychological comedy of fluff, fear, and forbidden fascination.

One thousand years ago, the world nearly burned to ash. Now, history is rising to finish the job. Shiro has lived his entire life bound to a quiet mountain farm, trapped inside a body that violently rebels against him-a boy with wildfire in his blood and a frame too fragile to hold it. To the world, he's a broken leaf. To himself, he's a spectator in his own youth, watching the realm move without him. Then, the sky cracks open. When his mother, Saki-the Citadel's most feared Vanguard Captain-deserts her post, she doesn't return for a peaceful homecoming. She comes back hunted. Branded as traitors by an autocratic King who claims absolute ownership over their souls, mother and son are forced onto a perilous road into the unknown. To survive, they won't just have to outrun the King's relentless Vanguard-an elite legion of iron-clad hunters trained to erase entire bloodlines. They'll have to face the cold silence that has divided them for a lifetime. Their escape turns into an extraordinary voyage when a girl falls from the stars, carrying a celestial light that miraculously quiets the fire in Shiro's bones. But her arrival ignites an all-out war. Power-hungry warlords hunt her divine power, while ancient horrors awaken from the deep to pass a final, brutal judgment on mankind. Stepping beyond the farm into a breathtaking, unforgiving world far bigger than he ever dreamed, Shiro finds himself surrounded by rogue warriors, unlikely allies, and a growing found family. To stop an ancient cycle from repeating, he must learn to master the storm within before it breaks him-and rise as the champion a broken world desperately needs.

I'm looking for tips and constructive criticism as I try to improve my writing. I will post the prompt at the top so if people want they can use it to. For the most part this is a collection of short stories surrounding my characters and their worlds. Most of my worlds are heavy fantasy but I do have some sci-fi and modern setting as well. I want critique to help me better my writing skills so I can write some longer stories.
