Mesopotamian قصص

Long ago, in ancient Mesopotamia, four jewels were guarded by four clans within a secretive sect collectively calling themselves the Ishamah--jewels of Earth, Water, Sky, and Wind. When joined as one upon an ancient altar within a hidden temple these elemental jewels are rumored to endow great mystical power and possibly even immortality itself upon the one who unites them; unleashing the true essence of their collective power through a magical tablet known as the tablet of destiny--which can bestow godlike power to the one who unites all four jewels, and utters the ancient spell written thereon to usher in a new Sar or age. But the sages of old who harnessed this great power deemed it too volatile to be wielded by one person for fear that it would fall into the hands of a corrupted madman. This is why the jewels were kept hidden and secret, their unpredictable power guarded and kept separated by the four clans of the Ishamah for thousands of years--each jewel kept hidden by each clan. Within one of the clans, a young man named Kish-rin is coming of age. As a 20-year-old young man he is expected to tackle the responsibility of becoming a chief guardian over the Mu jewel, the jewel of Water and Life, which his clan guards. Meanwhile, it is discovered that there may be a traitor among them. It is up to the Ishamah to unite in order to unmask this traitor and their mad plot before it's too late. It's mystery meets fantasy in this epic adventure!!!

So I wrote this as a project for my mythology class, specifically to make fun of archaeologists saying everything they find has a meaning. I wrote this in an attempt to emulate a 13-year-old finding the story of Gilgamesh and decided it seemed like a love story so....this was born. (Prof. Tracy I promise this isn't plagiarism)

Bria Matthews grew up dismissing her parents' devotion to Ishtar and their claim that she was born a Lycan. But as strange events mount - and her friends reveal their own ties to hidden clans - Bria can no longer deny her heritage. At twenty-one, she finally accepts her place in the werewolf world... except for one problem: she still can't shift. When the Wolven Council announces Bria as the prophesied Heir to Ishtar's Legacy, the honour ignites fierce rivalry among the clans. Her mother revels in the prestige, but others see Bria as an obstacle - or a target. Assigned a corrupt Alpha as her mentor and reeling from her father's murder on the night of her ascension, Bria is thrust into a brutal power struggle. Whoever claims the Heir's crown becomes the Ultimate Alpha. To survive - and to defend her family - Bria must unlock her wolf at last.

How do you save your family from the secret they are sworn to protect? After a creepy stranger comes to their family's apartment in the middle of the night to deliver an ultimatum--turn over what belongs to him or die-- fourteen-year-old Miranda McAdelind and her eleven-year-old brother Justin are sent away to the protective safety of their estranged grandfather's ranch in rural Colorado. However, the ranch does not turn out to be the safe haven that their parents believe it to be. Not only do mysterious, near fatal, accidents keep happening but someone is stealing priceless objects from the ranch, objects that if discovered would expose a wondrous secret their family is sworn to protect: that dragons are real. Can Miranda and Justin find out who is responsible for the thefts before the council of Dragon Lords seizes control of their family's ranch, or will they be the next victims of whoever, or whatever, is working to destroy them?

Everyone she loves has made the same decision. They just haven't told each other yet. The lies are spent. The performances are over. The enemy that was a rumor is at the gates, and the only people who can stop it are the four who are quietly planning to destroy one another to do it. One of them will write a thousand names into clay and call it mercy. One of them will walk into a child's room with a blade and a reason that works. One of them will offer up the thing that cannot be replaced. And one of them already knows how this ends, and is doing it anyway. There is a night coming when the oaths go silent, and anything can be unmade. Three clocks are ticking toward it. None of them are coincidence. Love won't save them. Being right won't save them. The math is clean, and the math is monstrous, and someone they love is the price. 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘞𝘢𝘳𝘴 --- 𝘉𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘛𝘸𝘰. 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘴 𝘦𝘯𝘥. 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘣𝘦𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘴. 𝘚𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘣𝘵𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘱𝘢𝘪𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦.
