As Far As The Eye Can See, is a short story I wrote a few months ago. Just now I found it in my jumble of google docs, and decided to publish it. It's a mix of prose and story. It is a story set in medieval times I wrote, about a girl named Beth, who is a noble mans daughter. She is betrothed to a rich, old man at just fourteen, although she won't marry him until she's sixteen. The story takes place over the two years she has before marrying the man. It's a story of love, loss, and bitter sweetness. I hope you all love it!

This is just for getting an idea out of my head. Which is why it will probably be crappy so I DO NOT recommend reading this.

Amid the crumbling echoes of Rome and the rise of new faiths, a young farmer in the Kingdom of the Suebi must navigate love, loss, and belief in a world shadowed by plague and war. When ancient gods linger in the woods and new doctrines divide villages, people must choose between their homeland and the spreading chaos. A sweeping tale of faith, family, and survival, this is a story of one man's quiet defiance in the face of history's storm. Accompany Aderico, who never asked for more than peace and a path of his own-until he met her. In a valley where rivers whisper forgotten prayers and faiths collide in silence, Aderico finds love that defies his world and a destiny he never sought. But when plague arrives and fear turns neighbor against neighbor, can love survive where legends die?

Once upon a time there was a village in the woods. Yet it was no fairytale life. Once in a while the village would be shaken up by a series of deaths, some accidently, some intentionally, by axe, by crossbow, by pitchfork or by the occasional beheading but most of the poor victims were killed in an animal attack, limbs torn off, throats ripped open, scratches and bitemarks all over their bodies. It was no pretty sight. The animals that were responsible for these attacks were the red-eyed wolves. Everyone in the village knew these vicious creatures that killed without mercy. So how would you like to read the story of one of these wolves? The story about the girl that was both human and wolf.

 THE GUARDIAN
 Aidan de Sowlis finds purpose in guarding his family and his clan. He tells himself
such a life is enough for him, but cannot dismiss the memory of the woman he
wished to wed. Lady Clarissa now belongs to another man-or so he thinks. When
the Scottish warden sends Aidan to England to negotiate with the lady's father, a
final effort to secure the peace along the border, he's shocked to see her. She stops
him before he can leave with a simple word: "help."
 THE FAVOR 
Lady Clarissa would rather become a nun than face another arranged marriage-the
fate her cruel father will undoubtedly foist on her now that her elderly husband has
secured an annulment. She knows Aidan de Sowlis, the man she left, is the last
person she should ask for help, yet he's the only one she trusts.
Aidan and Clarissa soon discover their feelings for each other are as strong as ever,
but her father would never approve, and his cooperation is crucial for securing
peace on the border. Do they dare risk it for love?
